Designed for discretion
AXIS M3016 is seriously discreet. Specially designed for recessed mounting, this small, unobtrusive camera resembles a spotlight. Its cover is optionally available in black and is also easy to repaint to blend in anywhere.

Best-in-class quality
You would have to look far and wide to find better video quality and more great features in a camera in this class. AXIS M3016 offers 3 MP video at 30fps in maximum resolution, for example. And Axis WDR for excellent image quality when there are big differences between the lightest and the darkest spot in a scene.

And it’s designed for exceedingly fast, easy and cost-effective installation and integration.
