The Axis 216 FD cmaera provides a high quality dome camera with fixed camera position, and low-light sensitivity. The camera features a tamper-proofing mounting assembly for added security, and is supplied with an Axis power supply and configuration tools. It also features Power over Ethernet support, and a 2.8-10mm varifocal auto-iris lens.

This camera is sensitive to low-light, but it is not night-vision capable. While the addition of an IR illuminator may improve clarity in low-light conditions, it will not allow this camera to be effective in night conditions.
