The AXIS M3086-V is a compact network camera in fixed dome design, designed for indoor use. With a resolution of 4 MP, it provides clear and detailed image reproduction, suitable for surveillance tasks in offices, shops, or other indoor areas. The camera features a wide-angle view of 130°, enabling comprehensive coverage of the surveillance area. The focal length is 2.4 mm, supporting the wide field of view. The integrated Lightfinder technology ensures sharp colour images even in low light, while WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) ensures scenes with strong contrasts between bright and dark areas are clearly displayed.

Applications

The camera is designed for use in enclosed spaces and is particularly suitable for areas where discreet yet powerful surveillance is required. Its compact design and unobtrusive appearance make it an appropriate solution for retail environments, reception areas, warehouses, or office spaces. The camera is not intended for outdoor use, as it does not have outdoor certification.

Features and Equipment in Detail

The AXIS M3086-V features a Deep Learning Processing Unit, enabling intelligent analysis functions. These functions are based on edge-based deep learning, meaning image content is processed directly at the camera without needing to transmit data to a central server. This reduces latency and increases surveillance efficiency. The AXIS Object Analytics function allows detection and classification of various object types, supporting automation of surveillance tasks. The M3086-V Mic variant is equipped with an integrated microphone and can thus be used for AXIS Audio Analytics to detect and analyse acoustic events.

Technology Explained Simply

The camera is powered via PoE (Power over Ethernet), enabling both power and data to be transmitted over a single network cable. The camera does not support PTZ functions (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) and features a fixed lens. Night vision is supported by Lightfinder technology, which delivers colour images even under low lighting conditions. There is no IR light source, so night vision does not rely on infrared illumination. Integrated cybersecurity is supported by AXIS Edge Vault, protecting the device against unauthorised access.

Compatibility and Accessories

The camera is compatible with various accessories that support deployment in different environments. These include, for example, the Audio I/O Interface T6112 MKII for extended audio functions, the Managed PoE+ Switch T8516 for network integration, and various mounting accessories such as the Pendant Kit T94B02D or the Wall Mount TM3101. For power supply, various PoE Midspan devices such as the TU8006 60 W or the T8120 15W are available. Additionally, Surge Protector devices such as the TU8001 Ethernet or the T8061 Ethernet are available to protect the camera from voltage surges. For optical coverage, Clear Dome or Smoked Dome covers can be used.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is performed via a network cable that simultaneously transmits power and data. The camera can be mounted on the ceiling or on a wall, with various mounting accessories available. Installation requires no additional tools or components beyond the network cable. The camera is immediately operational once connected to the network.

Operational Advantages

The camera offers high image quality with minimal space requirements and is easy to install. The integrated analysis functions enable automated surveillance, reducing the workload for the operator. Support for PoE and integrated cybersecurity increase the efficiency and security of the system. The camera is optimised for indoor use and provides a reliable surveillance solution without additional components.
