AXIS M2048-LE Black 8MP Outdoor Bullet IP Security Camera with 3.7mm Lens and Built-In IR - 03256-001

The AXIS M2048-LE is an affordable AI-powered 4K bullet camera from the AXIS M20 Series, built for reliable outdoor and indoor fixed surveillance in commercial, retail, and campus environments. This black variant (03256-001) shares the same exceptional performance as the white model while offering a discreet dark finish ideal for architectural settings, staging venues, and installations where a low-profile appearance is preferred. At its core is a 1/1.8" progressive scan CMOS sensor with a 3.7mm fixed lens delivering 126° horizontal field of view — one of the widest available in a compact bullet form factor — enabling coverage of expansive areas such as building facades, parking lots, and loading docks from a single mounting point. OptimizedIR illumination with 855nm LEDs provides night vision up to 66 ft (20 m), automatically adjusting intensity to eliminate overexposure in complete darkness.

AXIS Object Analytics is preinstalled at no additional cost, running on the onboard CV75 SoC deep learning processing unit. It detects and classifies humans, vehicles, and vehicle subtypes (cars, buses, trucks, bikes) across up to 10 simultaneous behavioral scenarios — including line crossing, crossline counting, occupancy monitoring, and tailgating detection. AXIS Scene Metadata adds forensic search capability by capturing object attributes including vehicle color and clothing color. Forensic WDR at up to 120 dB and Lightfinder technology ensure sharp, detailed imagery in both backlit doorways and near-darkness conditions, while Axis Zipstream reduces bandwidth and storage requirements by up to 50%.

The M2048-LE features a built-in weathershield and is IP66/IP67, NEMA 4X, and IK08-rated — engineered to withstand hurricane-force winds, heavy rain, and UV exposure in permanent outdoor installations. A spacious, sealed back box simplifies cable management during install. Axis Edge Vault provides FIPS 140-3 Level 3 / CC EAL6+ hardware-level cybersecurity with signed video, secure boot, and encrypted filesystem. TAA compliant, powered via PoE (IEEE 802.3af, max 12.95W), with a 5-year manufacturer warranty and software support through 2035.

Key Features:
