The outdoor cameras can operate in temperatures from 50°C (122°F) down to -20°C (-4°F) and the impact-resistant casing comes with a weather shield for protection from sunlight, rain and snow. Models without the weather shield, which have a greater tilt range, are better suited for ceiling mounted installations such as in cold storage rooms or under porches.
Axis M31-VE cameras are easy to install and are powered using PoE, which means that only one standard network cable is needed for carrying power and video. The cameras can also detect tampering attempts such as blocking or spray-painting.
Providing excellent quality progressive scan video at full frame rate, the camera series consists of Axis M3114-VE models with up to one megapixel resolution, and Axis M3113-VE cameras with SVGA 800 by 600 pixel resolution. Axis M3114-VE additionally supports HDTV video conforming with HDTV 720p standards in color fidelity, resolution, frame rate and wide-screen aspect ratio.
