AXIS M3016 Network Camera is designed for quick and easy recessed installation. Delivering 3 MP video at full frame rate in a small and compact design, AXIS M3016 is perfect for stylish retail stores and other areas that require discreet surveillance.

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. It also gives you large area coverage and a wide field of view, both horizontally and vertically.

Big on features. Small on price.
AXIS M3016 comes with the advanced Axis Zipstream technology that keeps storage and bandwidth requirements low and video quality high. The Axis Corridor Format option allows for optimal coverage of isles and corridors. AXIS M3016 is also equipped with a memory slot for optional local video storage. And it’s designed for exceedingly fast, easy and cost-effective installation and integration.
