AXIS M2035-LE 8 mm Black 2 Megapixel Indoor/Outdoor Full HD Network Camera

Meet the AXIS M2035-LE, a compact, high-performance network camera built for dependable day/night surveillance in both indoor and outdoor settings. Equipped with an 8 mm fixed lens, this bullet-style camera delivers crisp Full HD video with excellent clarity for entrances, perimeters, parking lots, and hallways. Designed for easy installation and seamless integration into modern security setups, the M2035-LE combines robust weather resistance, energy-efficient operation, and advanced imaging technologies to help you protect assets, people, and spaces around the clock.

• 2 MP Full HD performance—Capture sharp 1080p video at up to 30 frames per second, ensuring smooth, real-time monitoring that makes facial details and license plates easier to recognize even at a distance. The 8 mm fixed lens provides a focused, long-range field of view ideal for entryways, corridors, and outdoor perimeters.
• Day/Night versatility with wide dynamic range—Auto ICR-based day/night functionality preserves natural color in bright conditions and delivers high-contrast, legible grayscale imagery in low light. Combined with wide dynamic range (WDR), this camera maintains detail in scenes with mixed lighting, preventing washouts and preserving critical security moments.
• Rugged design for indoor and outdoor use—Designed to withstand challenging environments, the M2035-LE features an IP66-rated housing and reliable operation across a wide temperature range. This makes it suitable for exposed exterior walls as well as interior hallways, stairwells, and loading docks, without compromising image quality or reliability.
• Efficient, flexible deployment—Power and data are delivered over Ethernet with PoE (IEEE 802.3af/at), simplifying installation by reducing cabling and eliminating a separate power supply. Dual streaming (H.265/H.264/MJPEG) enables bandwidth-efficient transmission while preserving image quality for both live viewing and archival playback. ZIPstream compression further reduces bandwidth and storage requirements without sacrificing detail.
• Smart features and secure access—The camera supports essential security and analytics tools, including motion detection, tamper detection, and privacy masking. Built-in cybersecurity features such as encrypted communications, signed firmware, and robust user access controls help protect footage and prevent unauthorized access, aligning with modern security best practices.

How to Install AXIS M2035-LE

Installing the AXIS M2035-LE is straightforward for professional installers and capable DIY enthusiasts. Follow these steps to achieve reliable performance and maximize the camera’s potential:

• Choose a mounting location that provides clear coverage of the intended area, with minimal glare and obstruction. Consider entry points, vehicle pathways, or high-traffic zones to justify the investment.
• Mount the camera on a stable surface (wall or ceiling) using the included hardware. Ensure the housing remains sealed to maintain IP66 weatherproof performance. For outdoor installs, verify proper drainage and protection from direct exposure to heavy rain or snow.
• Run a single Ethernet cable to supply both data and power via PoE. If PoE is unavailable, connect to a compatible power source and configure power settings accordingly.
• Connect the camera to your network, then access the web interface or use Axis Companion/AXIS Camera Station for initial setup. Update firmware if needed and apply basic safety measures like changing the default admin password.
• Configure image settings, exposure, white balance, and focus. Set up motion detection, region masks, and tamper alerts as needed. Enable secure access (HTTPS, strong passwords) and tailor streaming options for live monitoring and recording, optimizing bandwidth with ZIPstream.
