Axis M3125-LVE AI-powered 2 MP Turret Style Camera White
- CCTV Lens Guide
- Hard Drive Size Guide
Unless selecting a vari-focal camera (with an adjustable lens) It is important to select the correct camera lens option for where the camera is to be positioned. A smaller lens will give you a wider angle but will be "zoomed out more", while a bigger lens will narrow the angle down and "zoom in more". See below to give you some idea on angles of Megapixel HD Cameras:
| Lens in mm | Approx Viewing Angle (degrees) | Ideal Distance (metres) | Typical usage/notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.8 | 106 | <6 | For seeing as much of the immediate area as possible such as above a doorway/low down/garage soffits (edges can appear slightly warped/distorted) - clearly "zoomed out" |
| 3.6/4 | 83-90 | <12 | A great general purpose option giving great coverage still in the corner of a room or higher up on second floor soffits with less distortion - more of a natural "zoom" |
| 6 | 56 | 6-20 | Narrows down the angle and zooms in to look past the immediate area a little to gain more detail - down a driveway for example from higher up |
| 12 | 24 | 20+ | Zooms in significantly more to look at a gate, entrance or adjascent building |
| 16 | 19 | 24+ | As above but more so |
The amount of hard drive space you require is dictated by how many cameras, as well as their resolution, frame rate settings, and whether you have H.265 encoding enabled or not to save space (We advise turning it on to double the capacity shown below with ease).
Finally, you can often make your storage space last a lot longer by enabling motion-detected recording rather than continuous, especially if there are long periods of no activity (to perhaps double or more these figures again).

Resolution (Megapixels) |
Days of storage provided by 1TB per camera (continuous - full 25 frames per second) |
Days of storage provided by 1TB per 4 cameras (continuous - full 25 frames per second) |
Days of storage provided by 1TB per 4 cameras (50% motion- 15 frames per second) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 44 | 11 | 36 |
| 2 | 22 | 5 | 18 |
| 3 | 17 | 4 | 14 |
| 4 | 11 | 3 | 9 |
| 5 | 9 | 2 | 8 |
| 6 | 8 | 2 | 6 |
| 8 (4K) | 5 | 1 | 4 |
| 12 | 4 | 0.5 | 3 |
As a rule of thumb, we recommend 2 Terabytes for a 4 x 4/5MP HD camera setup, as this should give you approx 2 weeks using H.265 @ 20fps and that is on continuous, not motion-detected recording.
(You may only require the full 25 frames per second on certain cameras if things are fast-moving - ie above a till)

This turret-style, AI-powered dome camera delivers great 2 MP image quality. With AXIS Object Analytics it can detect and classify objects like humans and vehicles. It offers flexible installation both indoors and outdoors.
Great image quality
AXIS M3125-LVE offers great 2 MP resolution with 110° field of view. Built-in OptimizedIR allows for surveillance in complete darkness up to 20 m (65 ft) or more depending on the scene. So, there’s no need for extra lighting—you get unobtrusive surveillance both day and night. In addition, WDR preserves details when there are both light and dark areas in a scene. And Axis Lightfinder technology ensures increased light sensitivity and clear colors in low light.
Powerful with strong security
Including a deep learning processing unit (DLPU), this AI-based camera lets you run powerful analytics on the edge. For instance, it comes preinstalled with AXIS Object Analytics to detect, classify, track and count objects like humans and vehicles. This DLPU also delivers valuable metadata facilitating fast, easy, and efficient forensic search capabilities in live or recorded video. Furthermore, Axis Edge Vault, a hardware-based cybersecurity platform, safeguards the device and protects sensitive information from unauthorized access. And it offers FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certified, secure cryptographic key storage and operations.
Flexible and outdoor-ready
This flat-faced dome is designed to suppress light reflections and deliver great image quality and usability. It offers flexible installation both indoors and outdoors. Plus, with a versatile set of mounting accessories including pendant kits, conduit back boxes, and recessed mount kits, it can be mounted on walls or ceilings. Compact and discreet, it’s available in black or white to blend in with different environments. Additionally, this weatherproof camera is IP66-rated and has an operating temperature range from -30 °C to 50 °C (-22 °F to 122 °F).
