AXIS M3216-LVE Dome Camera 4 MP with Deep Learning
- 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 cost-effective fixed focal dome delivers excellent image quality under any light conditions. Built on ARTPEC-8, it offers support for advanced analytics based on deep learning on the edge.
High-quality images—every time
Do you need great image quality in any light – or no light at all? AXIS M3216-LVE offers excellent 4 MP resolution and ensures high quality images around the clock and in any light conditions. It features Axis Lightfinder for sharp color images in low light and with Axis Forensic WDR you get clarity even when there’s both dark and light areas in the scene. Plus, Axis OptimizedIR enables surveillance in total darkness up to 30 m (98 ft) or more depending on the scene. Furthermore, Axis Zipstream with support for H.264 and H.265 significantly reduces bandwidth and storage requirements without compromising image quality.
Advanced edge analytics
Built on ARTPEC-8, this high-performance camera includes a deep learning processing unit (DLPU). This enables improved processing and storage capabilities allowing you to collect and analyse even more data than before—on the edge. Plus, it delivers valuable metadata facilitating fast, easy, and efficient forensic search capabilities in live or recorded video. Thanks to AXIS Object Analytics, AXIS M3216-LVE can detect and classify humans, vehicles, and types of vehicles—all tailored to your specific needs. Furthermore, with support for ACAP version 4, you can add value to your system with tailor-made applications based on deep learning on the edge.
Great performance and built-in cybersecurity
Including a weathershield, this IK10-rated camera offers protection from rain, snow, and sun. It’s easy to install with PoE and comes with a bracket for mounting on walls, ceilings, or junction boxes. With support for audio, you can listen in on what’s happening in the scene and benefit from audio analytics – for example, for detecting aggressive behaviour. Furthermore, this high-performance camera is packed with built-in cybersecurity features to prevent unauthorized access and safeguard your system. For instance, Axis Edge Vault protects your Axis device ID and simplifies authorization of Axis devices on your network.
