Technical Specifications
Imaging Performance: The 1/2.9" CMOS sensor captures 2MP at up to 30fps with exceptional low-light sensitivity: 0.1 lux (color) and 0.02 lux (B/W). Lightfinder technology ensures usable color video in near-darkness, while Forensic WDR compensates for extreme lighting contrasts common in outdoor environments.
Lens & Coverage: The motorized varifocal i-CS lens adjusts from 3 to 10.5mm, delivering horizontal fields of view ranging from 90° (wide) to 33° (telephoto). This flexibility enables installers to optimize coverage for various mounting heights and distances without lens replacement.
Power & Integration: PoE (IEEE 802.3af Class 3) powers the camera at 4.4W typical consumption, eliminating separate power runs. H.264 compression with Zipstream technology reduces bandwidth and storage demands while maintaining image fidelity. Audio support enables two-way communication for access control and threat mitigation.
Environmental Durability: IP66 sealing protects against water jets and dust ingress, while IK10 impact resistance withstands physical vandalism. Operating temperatures from −20 to 50°C ensure reliable performance in extreme climates. PVC-free materials support sustainability initiatives.
Applications
Ideal for outdoor perimeter security, parking lot monitoring, building entry points, industrial yards, and remote site surveillance. The varifocal lens adapts to diverse mounting scenarios, from wide-angle overview to detailed facial recognition coverage. Lightfinder and Forensic WDR excel in mixed-light environments such as dawn/dusk transitions and backlit entries.
The M1135-E Mk II represents Axis' mature approach to outdoor fixed surveillance. Its combination of Lightfinder and Forensic WDR addresses the two primary challenges in outdoor imaging: darkness and contrast extremes. The varifocal i-CS lens design eliminates the need to stock multiple fixed focal-length models, reducing inventory costs while maintaining optical quality.
Zipstream integration ensures efficient use of storage and bandwidth—critical for edge-based analytics deployments. At 4.4W average power, the camera suits low-power PoE infrastructure. The IK10/IP66 ratings are genuinely field-proven in harsh environments.
Consider this camera for installations requiring flexibility, durability, and intelligent light management without premium pricing.
