Axis M1137 MK II 02581-001 5MP i-CS Day/Night Compact Fixed Box Network Camera PoE

The Axis M1137 MK II (02581-001) is a compact 5-megapixel fixed box network camera designed for professional indoor surveillance installations requiring high image detail and flexible lens options. The i-CS (intelligent camera solution) lens mount enables motorised remote focus and zoom adjustment without physical access to the camera, saving significant installation and maintenance time. Combined with Axis Lightfinder technology and a day/night IR-cut filter, this camera delivers clear, colour-rich video in low-light environments.

Advantages

The 5 MP progressive scan CMOS sensor captures crisp 2592 x 1944-pixel images at up to 30 fps, providing ample detail for forensic analysis and licence plate recognition at distance. Forensic Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) ensures both bright and dark areas of the scene are exposed correctly in high-contrast situations. AXIS Object Analytics enables on-camera edge detection of people and vehicles, reducing false alarms and network bandwidth consumption without dedicated server processing.

Suitable for

• Indoor enterprise security: lobbies, server rooms, retail areas requiring high detail capture
• Critical infrastructure monitoring where remote lens calibration simplifies multi-camera deployments
• Loss prevention and forensic evidence gathering with high-resolution day/night imaging
