The AXIS M3088-V is a compact network camera in fixed dome design, developed for indoor use. The device offers a resolution of 8 megapixels and is equipped with a fixed lens with a focal length of 2.8 mm. The camera is factory-focused, meaning no manual focus adjustment is required. It features Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) to ensure clear image reproduction even in scenarios with strong contrasts between bright and dark areas. The integrated night vision function enables recording in poorly lit environments. The camera supports PoE (Power over Ethernet), allowing power supply and data transmission via a single network cable. The technology is based on edge-based Deep Learning, with an integrated Deep Learning Processing Unit in the device. This enables intelligent analysis functions, including the Time in Area feature within AXIS Object Analytics, which allows monitoring of objects that remain in a specific area longer than a user-defined time. The camera is vandal-resistant and includes integrated cybersecurity features, such as Axis Edge Vault, which protects the device ID and simplifies authorization of Axis devices on the network. The design is ultracompact and unobtrusive, making it suitable for discreet surveillance solutions. The camera is not intended for outdoor use and does not have IK10 certification. The camera does not include IR lighting.

Applications
The AXIS M3088-V is suitable for indoor surveillance in offices, shops, warehouses, or other enclosed spaces where discreet yet powerful video surveillance is required. The combination of high resolution, WDR, and Deep Learning analysis functions makes it particularly suitable for scenarios requiring both image quality and intelligent event detection. The vandal-resistant design provides additional protection against physical damage.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The camera offers an image resolution of 8 megapixels, ensuring detailed and sharp recordings. The fixed lens with a 2.8 mm focal length provides a wide field of view. The WDR function ensures even brightness distribution in the image, even with strong light contrasts. The night vision function enables recording in dark environments, with no integrated IR light source. PoE support simplifies installation, as power and data are transmitted over a single cable. The integrated Deep Learning Processing Unit enables video analysis processing directly on the device, without requiring external computing power. The Time in Area function within AXIS Object Analytics allows detection of objects that remain in a defined area longer than a preset time. Integrated cybersecurity, particularly Axis Edge Vault, protects the device ID and simplifies network integration.

Technology Explained Simply
The camera uses an 8-megapixel sensor for high-resolution images. The 2.8 mm focal length enables a wide field of view, suitable for surveillance tasks in rooms. WDR technology analyzes the image and adjusts brightness in bright and dark areas to make details visible in both. The night vision function operates without additional IR lighting, meaning the camera can still capture images in dark environments due to sensor characteristics, but without additional infrared illumination. The Deep Learning Processing Unit in the device enables local video analysis processing, reducing response time and network load. The Time in Area function detects when an object remains in a specific area longer than a user-defined time, which can be used, for example, to identify prolonged dwell times.

Compatibility and Accessories
The AXIS M3088-V is compatible with various accessories that support installation and operation. These include mounting accessories such as the Pendant Kit T94B02D, wall bracket TM3101, J-Box Plate T94B02M, and Conduit Back Box T94B01P. For power supply, PoE midspan modules such as T8120 (15 W) or TU8002-E (90 W, for outdoor use) are available. Additional components include the Managed PoE+ Switch T8516, Audio I/O Interface T6112 MKII, various domes (e.g. M30 Smoked Dome, M30 Clear Dome), and Surge Protector modules such as TU8001 and T8061. The PoE Extender T8129 and PoE over Coax Adapter Kit T8640 extend installation flexibility. The camera is not intended for outdoor use, so outdoor accessories are not part of standard compatibility.

Installation and Mounting
The camera is easy to install and is delivered factory-focused, so no manual focusing is required. PoE support enables simple cabling, as power and data are transmitted over a single network cable. Mounting is done using appropriate brackets, selected based on application (e.g. ceiling, wall, or within an enclosure). The camera is vandal-resistant, providing additional security during installation. Installation does not require special tools or additional components, except for optional mounting and power supply accessories.

Operational Advantages
The AXIS M3088-V offers a combination of high image quality, intelligent video analysis, and easy installation. The 8-megapixel resolution ensures detailed recordings, while the WDR function delivers clear images even under challenging lighting conditions. Deep Learning functions enable automated detection of behavior patterns, such as prolonged dwell time in an area. PoE support reduces installation complexity, and integrated cybersecurity protects the device ID. The vandal-resistant design increases the camera's lifespan and reliability. The compact and unobtrusive design makes it suitable for discreet surveillance solutions.
