Optional Mic variant for audio-capture positions. The M3086-V combines a 1/2.7” 4MP CMOS sensor, 2.4 mm fixed-focal M12-mount lens (F2.1, 130° HFOV), Lightfinder low-light, standard WDR, AXIS Object Analytics preinstalled on the deep-learning processing unit, Zipstream H.265 / H.264, IK08 / IP42 indoor vandal housing, bayonet-fitted casing for quick installation, designed for repaint, and 0–45 °C operation. PoE Class 2 powered.
Where the M3086-V Wins in Chicago
- Retail storefront ceilings + stockroom positions where 4MP indoor mini-dome with deep-learning analytics matters
- Commercial real estate office tenant suite ceilings and corridor positions
- Education facility classrooms + corridors + main lobby ceilings
- Healthcare clinic exam room corridors + waiting room ceilings (with optional Mic variant for compliance / clinical observation)
- Hotel and hospitality interior corridor + back-of-house positions
- Multi-tenant residential building lobby + corridor ceiling positions
- Office building general-area ceiling coverage at standard mounting heights
- Migration path from discontinued M3064-V positions (matching form factor + 130° wide HFOV with 4MP / DLPU upgrade)
Migration Path: M3064-V → M3086-V
The M3086-V is the modern Axis indoor mini-dome successor to the discontinued M3064-V:
| Feature | M3064-V (Discontinued) | M3086-V (this) |
|---|---|---|
| Resolution | 1080p | 4MP (2688 × 1512) |
| Sensor | 1/2.9” | 1/2.7” |
| HFOV | Standard | 130° wide |
| Low-light | Standard | Lightfinder |
| Analytics | Motion + tampering | AXIS Object Analytics on DLPU |
| Mic variant | — | Yes |
| Status | Discontinued (HW support to May 2028) | Active |
AXIS Object Analytics — Indoor Edge Analytics
Running on the camera’s deep-learning processing unit — humans / vehicles / vehicle types classified on the camera with no separate analytics server. For Chicago retail people-counting, education hallway monitoring, healthcare clinic flow analysis, and office tenant occupancy analytics, this enables searchable AI-tagged recordings on Axis Camera Station with no per-camera analytics-server overhead.
Lightfinder — Color in Low Light
The M3086-V’s Lightfinder technology preserves color identification at low light levels where standard cameras would fall back to monochrome — useful for retail after-hours, hospitality back-of-house overnight, and education night-coverage positions where eyewitness color descriptions matter.
