AXIS M5526-E 50 Hz 4MP PTZ Dome Camera, indoor and outdoor, 10x zoom and Focus Recall
AXIS M5526-E PTZ Camera is a versatile and intelligent dome camera that combines advanced PTZ functionality with AI-based analytics at an affordable price.
Designed for both indoor and outdoor use, it delivers exceptional image quality and smart features for a wide range of surveillance needs.
Exceptional image quality and PTX performance
The camera's 4 MP sensor and 10x optical zoom (total 120x with digital zoom) give you the ability to capture clear and detailed images, whether you have an overview view or need to zoom in on a specific event.
It offers continuous 360° panning and fast, reliable autofocus (including “Focus Recall”) that ensures sharpness every time. To handle challenging lighting conditions, it is equipped with Forensic WDR (up to 120 dB) and Lightfinder 2.0 technology, providing clear color images even in scenarios with strong reverse light or in near darkness.
AI-based analytics for proactive security
Built on the powerful ARTPEC-8 chipset, the M5526-E includes a Deep Learning Processing Unit (DLPU) for advanced analytics directly in the camera (at the edge).
The pre-installed analyst AXIS Object Analytics can not only detect but also classify objects such as people and different types of vehicles (cars, buses, trucks, motorcycles).
It supports scenarios such as line crossing, area entry and motion analysis, enabling proactive alarms and smart searching in recorded footage.
Robust construction and leading cybersecurity
With protection classes IP66 and IK09, the camera can withstand the elements and physical stress, making it suitable for installation in entrances, parking lots, shops and warehouses.
As an extra layer of security, it includes the hardware-based platform Axis Edge Vault, which protects the device's identity and integrity through features such as secure boot and signed video, preventing tampering and ensuring that evidence is authentic.
Software platform and integration
The camera is a full-featured network device with support for multiple video streams in H.264 and H.265, including Axis Zipstream to reduce bandwidth and storage requirements.
It is easily integrated with leading VMS systems via ONVIF profiles (G, M, S, T) and Axis' own platforms such as AXIS Camera Station. Built-in audio and I/O ports allow you to connect external devices such as microphones, speakers and sensors.
Summary
AXIS M5526-E PTZ Camera is an excellent choice for those looking for a cost-effective, intelligent and versatile camera that works both indoors and outdoors.
Its combination of high image quality, smooth PTX mobility, powerful AI analytics, and robust cybersecurity make it a trusted choice for protecting your assets and increasing situational awareness.
