The outdoor casing is protected against water, corrosion and dust and can withstand extreme temperatures ranging from -40°C to 60°C (-40°F to 140°F). For surveillance in pitch darkness, the Axis fixed box IR Illuminator kit A is available as an optional accessory.

The products remain cost effective thanks to Axis Zipstream with support for H.264 and H.265 which is able to significantly lower bandwidth and storage requirements by 50% or more. With CS-mount and built-in camera rails it’s easy to change lens depending on the surveillance situation.
