Note

To trigger on small objects or movements, use several small motion detection windows rather than one large window and select a low object size.

To avoid triggering on small objects, select a high object size.

While monitoring an area where moving objects are not expected, select a high history level. This will cause motion detection to trigger as long as the object is present in the window.

To only detect flashing light, select a low sensitivity. In other cases high sensitivity is recommended.

This technology ensures that users receive clear and detailed images even in challenging lighting environments. Furthermore, the M3200 series offers Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) functionality, which helps to enhance the visibility of both dark and bright areas in a scene simultaneously.

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.

In conclusion, Axis Communications M3200 series models such as the M3204-V, M3203-V, M3203, and M3204 offer advanced features tailored for effective surveillance. The combination of compact design, enhanced low-light capabilities, flexible installation options, and superior image quality positions the M3200 series as a top choice for those seeking reliable and efficient security solutions.
