With support for1080p resolution at up to 30 frames per second, the M3200 series delivers crisp and detailed video, making identification easier. The cameras also feature H.264 compression technology, which helps optimize bandwidth and storage requirements without sacrificing quality.

For added versatility, the M3200 series includes a wide variety of mounting options, making it easy to install the cameras in various settings. They also come equipped with an IP51 rating for dust and drip protection, ensuring reliable operation even in less-than-ideal conditions.

Moreover, the integration of Axis' Zipstream technology efficiently compresses video, thereby decreasing storage and bandwidth usage while retaining critical forensic details. This is particularly beneficial for long-term archiving of footage without quality loss.
