AXIS M1135-E MK II 2MP Outdoor Full HD Network Camera – Color & Monochrome

The AXIS M1135-E MK II is a rugged, outdoor-ready 2-megapixel network camera designed to deliver reliable, high-quality surveillance in demanding environments. With color and monochrome imaging options, a varifocal lens, and multi-format video support, this box camera is built to withstand harsh weather while providing clear, actionable footage for perimeter security, entrances, parking lots, and outdoor facilities. Its box packaging and TAA compliance make it a versatile choice for government, enterprise, and commercial deployments where durability, flexibility, and long-term value matter. From rain-soaked walls to dusty industrial sites, the M1135-E MK II is engineered to perform, day or night, with dependable operation and straightforward integration into existing video management systems.

• All-weather, vandal-resistant design: Engineered for outdoor use, this camera carries an IP66 rating to protect against water ingress and dust intrusion, ensuring reliable performance in rain, wind, and dusty environments. The IK10-rated enclosure adds a layer of physical tamper resistance, helping to deter vandalism and maintain image integrity in challenging installations. This rugged housing is ideal for mounting on exterior walls, building perimeters, utility poles, or architectural features where exposure to the elements is unavoidable. By combining durable construction with precise manufacturing tolerances, Axis has created a surveillance solution that minimizes maintenance calls and reduces downtime, even in harsh industrial environments.
• Flexible imaging with a sharp 2 MP sensor and a versatile varifocal lens: The 2-megapixel sensor captures Full HD 1080p video at up to 30 frames per second, delivering smooth motion and crisp detail for people and vehicle recognition. The 3-10.5 mm varifocal lens provides a 3.5x optical zoom, allowing you to frame wide outdoor areas or zoom in for close-up identification without repositioning the camera. Color imaging during daylight transitions to monochrome in low-light conditions, enabling enhanced visibility with Axis’ day/night optimization. This combination of sensor performance and adaptable optics makes the M1135-E MK II suitable for entrances, loading docks, parking areas, and open-air corridors where lighting can fluctuate dramatically throughout the day.
• Bandwidth-friendly streaming with versatile codecs: Support for H.265, H.264, and Motion JPEG ensures compatibility with a wide range of network and storage configurations. Zipstream technology intelligently reduces bandwidth and storage requirements by focusing on the essential parts of a scene, preserving detail where it matters most while minimizing overhead. For deployments with multiple cameras or limited network capacity, this efficiency translates into lower infrastructure costs and easier scalability, without sacrificing critical image quality during incidents or investigations.
• Easy installation and integration: The camera is designed for straightforward wall mounting and is delivered in a box-friendly package suitable for rapid deployment. Its TAA-compliant construction aligns with procurement standards used by government agencies and large enterprises, ensuring broad compatibility across procurement channels. The M1135-E MK II integrates smoothly with Axis management ecosystems, enabling centralized configuration, firmware updates, and remote access through familiar Axis tools. This makes it a practical choice for multi-site deployments where consistency and ease of management are essential to keep operating costs in check.
• Security-focused design and future-proof features: Beyond rugged housing and Vandal resistance, the device supports a range of industry-standard streaming formats and robust security practices common in Axis products. The combination of IP66 protection, IK10 impact rating, color/monochrome imaging capabilities, and a reliable 1080p video pipeline positions the M1135-E MK II as a dependable component in any perimeter security strategy. The camera’s design anticipates evolving security requirements, enabling firmware updates and integration with existing surveillance workflows, while maintaining strong performance in varied climate zones and lighting conditions.

How to install AXIS M1135-E MK II

• Plan the installation location by evaluating line-of-sight, potential obstructions, and environmental exposure. Choose a secure mounting surface that can support the camera weight and withstand wind loads. Ensure there is access to a reliable network connection for uninterrupted video transmission and easy integration with your video management system.
• Mount the base or bracket securely to the chosen surface using the included hardware. Use appropriate anchors for the substrate (concrete, brick, or wooden surfaces) and verify that the mounting area remains level to ensure proper alignment of the lens and field of view. Route cables neatly through weatherproof conduits or cable glands to maintain IP66 protection and minimize wear on connectors.
• Attach the AXIS M1135-E MK II camera body to the mounted bracket or housing. Align the camera to capture the desired scene, then tighten mounting screws to secure the unit firmly. Make sure the lens is properly focused and the varifocal range is set to cover critical zones such as doorways, driveways, or entry points.
• Connect power and network interfaces as required. If the camera supports PoE, connect it to a PoE-enabled switch or injector to simplify installation and cabling. Configure network settings via the Axis web interface or your preferred management software, including IP address assignment, user access controls, and necessary security settings to protect streams and stored data.
• Perform a final field check: verify video quality across the full focal range, test color and monochrome modes, validate performance under varying lighting conditions, and confirm that alerts, excursions, or motion detection rules are correctly configured. Save the configuration, monitor live feeds, and schedule firmware updates as needed to maintain optimal performance and security compliance.
