Don’t miss a thing
AXIS M5526-E delivers great image quality in 4 MP. It offers a continuous 360° pan and with 10x optical zoom, you can benefit from sweeping overviews and zoom-in to get the details. Thanks to autofocus it ensures detailed, sharp images—every time. Plus, day/night functionality provides high-quality black-and-white video with improved sensitivity in even lower light. Furthermore, it includes Forensic WDR for clarity when there’s both dark and light areas in the scene.

Flexible installations—indoors and out
AXIS M5526-E is compatible with all Axis PTZ mounts and can be mounted both indoors and out. It comes with three scene profiles (indoor, outdoor, and forensic) with different image settings optimized to suit specific scenarios. Plus, privacy masking with mosaic lets you pixelate whole areas such as a neighboring property. Built on ARTPEC 8, the latest Axis system-on-chip (SoC), it includes a deep learning processing unit (DLPU) enabling improved processing and storage capabilities. And thanks to AXIS Object Analytics, it can detect and classify humans, vehicles, and types of vehicles—all tailored to your specific needs.

Enjoy more for less
This affordably priced camera offers great value for money. It delivers great image quality in 4MP. And with audio and I/O connectivity, you can integrate peripheral equipment for instance a microphone to extend the value of your system. Axis Zipstream with H.264 significantly lowers bandwidth and storage requirements without compromising image quality. Furthermore, Axis Edge Vault, a hardware-based cybersecurity platform, safeguards the device and protects sensitive information from unauthorized access.
