Axis Communications P3255-LVE 2MP Outdoor Network Dome Camera with Night Vision

Overview

The Axis 02099-001 is a 2MP outdoor network dome camera designed to deliver clear 1920 x 1080 video at up to 60 frames per second, making it well suited for monitoring building exteriors, parking lots, and other outdoor areas. Its varifocal lens allows remote adjustment of the field of view from 100 degrees wide to 36 degrees narrow, enabling precise framing without physical intervention. The camera’s night vision capabilities extend up to 130 feet using built-in IR LEDs and Lightfinder 2.0 technology, ensuring reliable color and contrast even in very low light conditions.

Key features

• Remote zoom and focus controls simplify installation and allow fine-tuning of the image without needing to access the camera physically.
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) reduces cabling complexity by delivering power and data through a single network cable, speeding up deployment and minimizing failure points.
• AI analytics onboard detect and classify people and vehicles, helping to reduce false alarms by filtering out irrelevant motion events.
• Durable IP66-rated weatherproof and IK10 impact-resistant enclosure protects the camera from harsh environmental conditions and vandalism attempts.
• Supports multiple video streams in H.264 and H.265 formats, allowing flexible bandwidth management and efficient video compression.
• MicroSD card slot enables local recording for edge storage or backup, ensuring continuous video capture even if the network connection is lost.
