AXIS M5525-E is a great deal. The affordably priced camera is packed with the kind of top-of-the-line features you’d normally expect in high end cameras. It’s particularly suitable for stores, schools, building lobbies and other open areas, both indoors and out.
Don’t miss a thing
HDTV 1080p resolution, 10x optical zoom, and continuous 360° pan that lets you easily follow moving objects. AXIS M5525-E provides both the zoomed-in detail and the broad overview you need to stay on top of what’s happening on your premises. WDR - Forensic Capture ensures great detail when there are both bright and darker spots in a scene. The camera’s outstanding light-sensitivity means high-quality video even when it is recording in near darkness.

Highly versatile
AXIS M5525-E is a versatile camera for indoor or outdoor use, compatible with all Axis PTZ mounts. It offers two-way audio and four digital I/O ports for integration with other equipment. And there are three scene profiles to choose from:
- Forensic profile for capturing details in challenging conditions
- Indoor profile for optimized colors in indoor lighting conditions
- Outdoor profile for enhanced image appearance for outdoor surveillance
For each profile, the camera automatically optimizes exposure time, white balance, aperture, sharpness, contrast and noise to suit the specific scenario. The result is great image quality and cost-effective installation.

Sharp images. Low bandwidth.
AXIS M5525-E features Axis Zipstream technology, which analyses the video stream in real time to identify areas of interest. These areas are compressed a bit less than other areas, preserving important details in full image quality, while reducing storage and bandwidth by up to 50%. The result is high-quality images and significant savings.
