Learn First. Decide Second. Buy Only If It Is Right for Your Needs.

Overview

The AXIS M3085-V Dome Camera is a compact 2 MP indoor network camera designed for discreet video surveillance where a wide fixed field of view, low-light imaging and edge-based analytics are required.

It uses a 1/2.9-inch progressive scan RGB CMOS sensor with a 3.1 mm F2.0 fixed lens, providing a 102° horizontal and 55° vertical field of view.

The camera delivers up to 1920 × 1080 Full HD resolution at 25/30 fps and supports H.264, H.265 and Motion JPEG video compression.

Axis Lightfinder assists with color imaging in low-light conditions, while WDR up to 120 dB depending on the scene helps where bright and dark areas occur within the same view.

A built-in deep learning processing unit (DLPU) supports intelligent edge analytics, including AXIS Object Analytics and AXIS Scene Metadata.

The above specifications are based on the supplied AXIS M3085-V datasheet.

Fixed 3.1 mm Wide-Angle Lens

The AXIS M3085-V uses a 3.1 mm fixed lens rather than a varifocal lens.

Its specified viewing coverage is:

Horizontal Field of View: 102°
Vertical Field of View: 55°

This wide field of view can suit indoor applications where broad scene coverage is preferred.

Because the lens is fixed, customers should confirm the required viewing distance and scene coverage before ordering. The field of view cannot be optically narrowed or widened after installation in the same way as a varifocal camera.

The camera is factory focused, so manual lens focusing is not normally required during installation.

Low-Light Imaging

The AXIS M3085-V includes Axis Lightfinder, intended to support useful color imaging under low-light conditions.

Axis specifies minimum illumination with Lightfinder of:

Color: 0.18 lux at 50 IRE F2.0

Black & White: 0.03 lux at 50 IRE F2.0

The camera also includes an automatic IR-cut filter for day/night operation.

Important: No Built-In IR Illumination

The M3085-V should not be described as having integrated infrared illumination.

The supplied datasheet specifies low-light Lightfinder capabilities but does not specify built-in IR LEDs.

If surveillance is required in complete darkness, the lighting strategy and camera selection should therefore be evaluated separately.

This distinction is particularly important when comparing the M3085-V with Axis models that include OptimizedIR.

Wide Dynamic Range

The camera supports WDR up to 120 dB depending on the scene.

WDR can be useful in environments where bright and dark areas occur simultaneously—for example, an indoor camera viewing an entrance with strong daylight outside.

Actual results depend on scene conditions, camera placement and configuration.

Deep Learning Edge Analytics

The AXIS M3085-V incorporates a deep learning processing unit (DLPU) that enables supported analytics to run at the edge.

The datasheet lists:

• AXIS Object Analytics
• AXIS Scene Metadata
• AXIS Live Privacy Shield
• AXIS Video Motion Detection
• Active tampering alarm
• Audio detection

AXIS People Counter is also listed as supported.

The camera supports AXIS Camera Application Platform for compatible third-party applications.

AXIS Object Analytics

AXIS Object Analytics can detect and classify supported object types.

Object classes specified by Axis include:

Humans

Vehicles:

• Cars
• Buses
• Trucks
• Bikes

Supported scenarios include:

• Line crossing
• Object in area
• Time in area
• Crossline counting
• Occupancy in area
• Motion in area
• Motion line crossing

Up to 10 scenarios are supported.

Additional functionality includes polygon include/exclude areas, perspective configuration and ONVIF motion alarm events.

AXIS Scene Metadata

AXIS Scene Metadata provides structured metadata relating to detected objects.

Specified object classes include:

• Humans
• Faces
• Vehicles
• License plates

Vehicle types include cars, buses, trucks and bikes.

Specified attributes include:

• Vehicle color
• Upper/lower clothing color
• Confidence
• Position

Audio level data is also supported.

Analytics performance depends on scene conditions, configuration and application requirements.

DORI Planning Guidance

The official datasheet also provides useful Detect, Observe, Recognize and Identify (DORI) planning values.

Axis specifies:

Detect – 25 px/m: 45.6 m

Observe – 63 px/m: 18.1 m

Recognize – 125 px/m: 9.1 m

Identify – 250 px/m: 4.6 m

The table on page 6 of the supplied datasheet explains that these calculations use EN 62676-4 recommended pixel densities and the center of the image as the reference point.

These figures are planning references rather than guaranteed real-world identification distances. Axis specifically notes that object movement, compression, lighting, focus and lens distortion can affect actual results.

Video Compression and Streaming

The AXIS M3085-V supports:

H.264: Main and High Profiles

H.265 / HEVC

Motion JPEG

Multiple individually configurable streams are supported.

Axis Zipstream technology is available with H.264 and H.265 to help manage bandwidth and storage while retaining relevant image information.

The camera also supports controllable frame rate and bandwidth and VBR/ABR/MBR operation with H.264/H.265.

Audio and I/O Expansion

The M3085-V supports audio functionality through portcast technology and compatible accessories.

Specified audio capabilities include:

• Two-way full-duplex audio
• Automatic gain control
• 10-band graphic equalizer for audio input
• Voice enhancer through portcast
• Speaker pairing
• Audio input through portcast
• Audio output through speaker pairing or portcast

Digital input and external output functionality can also be added through compatible portcast accessories.

A compatible AXIS T61 Audio and I/O Interface Series is listed among the optional accessories.

Storage

The AXIS M3085-V supports:

• microSD
• microSDHC
• microSDXC
• SD card encryption
• Network-attached storage

This allows compatible edge or network recording configurations.

Storage requirements should be calculated according to resolution, codec, frame rate, recording schedule, scene activity and required retention period.

Cybersecurity

The camera incorporates the Axis Edge Vault hardware-based cybersecurity platform.

The datasheet specifies features including:

• Signed OS
• Secure boot
• Secure element
• System-on-chip security
• Axis device ID
• Secure keystore
• Signed video
• Encrypted filesystem
• Password protection
• IEEE 802.1X
• IEEE 802.1AR
• HTTPS/HSTS
• TLS 1.2/1.3
• Network Time Security
• X.509 certificate PKI
• IP address filtering

Cybersecurity also depends on correct network configuration, credential management, firmware maintenance and organizational security practices.

Applications

The AXIS M3085-V may be considered for compatible indoor surveillance environments such as:

• Retail stores
• Offices
• Reception areas
• Corridors
• Indoor entrances
• Meeting and common areas
• Educational facilities
• Commercial premises
• Customer-facing indoor areas
• Indoor locations requiring wide-angle monitoring
• Applications requiring edge analytics
• Locations where a compact camera is preferred

Final suitability should be determined from the actual surveillance objective and site conditions.

Purpose of Use

The AXIS M3085-V is intended for compact indoor network surveillance where Full HD video, a wide fixed field of view, low-light performance and intelligent analytics are required.

Its 102° horizontal view provides broad coverage without a mechanically adjustable focal length.

The compact dome format can also be useful where a discreet installation is preferred.

Compatibility

The supplied datasheet specifies compatibility with:

• AXIS Camera Station Edge
• AXIS Camera Station Pro
• AXIS Camera Station 5
• Compatible third-party VMS platforms
• ONVIF Profile G
• ONVIF Profile M
• ONVIF Profile S
• ONVIF Profile T
• VAPIX

Compatibility with the customer's exact NVR, VMS, analytics software and required functions should be checked before ordering.

Optional Accessories

The datasheet identifies optional accessories including:

• AXIS TM3812 Tamper Cover
• AXIS T61 Audio and I/O Interface Series
• Black casing
• Smoked dome
• AXIS Surveillance microSDXC Card

Accessory compatibility and requirements should be verified for the specific installation.
