The M3044-V 720p Network Mini Dome Camera from Axis Communications uses a 1/3″ progressive-scan CMOS sensor for 1280 x 720 resolution at 30 fps, and it features a 2.8mm fixed lens for an 82° horizontal field of view. Additionally, you can pan the camera ±177°, tilt it ±76°, and rotate it ±176° for easy angle adjustments. Wide dynamic range offers high-quality images in ambient lighting, and color, brightness, sharpness, contrast, and exposure control settings allow you to configure your camera based on various environments. The camera also comes with built-in analytics, such as motion detection and an active tampering alarm. When these events occur, the camera will send you an email notification or store video recordings of the event to your edge storage.

The camera compresses footage using H.264 and MJPEG formatting, maximizing your bandwidth and storage. Additionally, video can be streamed in multiple individual streams, and frame rates and bandwidth are controllable for further customizing your network. A microSD slot supports on-site recording and the camera can also record to a dedicated NAS. The network is secured with a number of safety features, including password protection, IP address filtering, and HTTPS encryption. PoE technology allows you to transfer both data and power over the same Ethernet cable, minimizing the amount of cables needed during installation, and the camera is IP42-rated water- and dust-resistant and IK08-rated impact-resistant for use outdoors and in high-risk areas.
