Axis M3905-R Fixed Dome Camera (Bulk 10-Pack)

Axis Communications M3905-R M12 Overview

The Axis Communications M3905-R M12 is a compact 1080p fixed dome camera purpose-built for onboard and rugged deployment environments. This 10-pack bulk order (MPN 02502-021) delivers cost-effective surveillance with M12 network connectivity on an integrated pigtail, eliminating the need for RJ45 termination in confined mounting spaces. The IP66/IP67 rating ensures reliable performance in harsh environmental conditions, making it suitable for mobile and outdoor installations where standard Ethernet connectivity is impractical.

Axis Communications M3905-R M12 Key Features

• 1080p 2MP Resolution — Captures video at 1920x1080 across multiple aspect ratios (16:9, 16:10, 4:3), selectable from 640x360 to 1280x960, providing flexibility for varied deployment scenarios.
• 3.6mm F2.0 Fixed Lens — Delivers 88° horizontal field of view with 0.3m minimum focus distance and fixed iris for consistent operation across lighting conditions.
• Progressive Scan 1/2.9" RGB CMOS Sensor — 2.8µm pixel size ensures strong low-light performance and detailed image capture without rolling shutter artifacts.
• Forensic WDR up to 120dB — Handles high-contrast and backlit scenes with dynamic range compression, critical for vehicles with windshield reflections or mixed indoor/outdoor lighting.
• Advanced Low-Light Sensitivity — Achieves 0.04 lux color at 30fps with F2.0 lens (F2.0 mode) or 0.02 lux with optional 2.8mm F1.2 lens, supporting 24/7 surveillance in dimly lit environments.
• H.264, H.265, and Motion JPEG Compression — Multiple codec support with Axis Zipstream bandwidth optimization reduces storage and network load while maintaining image quality; controllable frame rate and bitrate (VBR/ABR/MBR).
• High Frame Rate Streaming — 25/30fps at all resolutions on H.264/H.265; 15fps on Motion JPEG (50/60Hz compatible), ensuring smooth video playback and forensic review.
• Advanced Image Processing — Includes Axis Zipstream, Forensic WDR, Lightfinder technology, and comprehensive spatial/temporal noise reduction for clean, usable footage in challenging lighting.
• Digital PTZ and Preset Positions — Pan (±30°), Tilt (15-90°), Rotation (±175°) with guard tour and control queue capabilities; 32 individual polygonal privacy masks and image rotation (0°, 90°, 180°, 270°) for flexible deployment angles.
• Configurable Video Streams — Up to 4 unique and independent streams per camera in H.264, H.265, or Motion JPEG, each individually optimized for bandwidth and storage.
• M12 Network Connector on Integrated Pigtail — Purpose-designed for onboard and confined installations where panel-mount or bulkhead RJ45 connections are unavailable; eliminates need for external Ethernet breakout.
• IP66/IP67 Rugged Enclosure — Fully sealed against dust and submersion, rated for marine, mobile, and harsh industrial environments; includes lens tool for field maintenance and lens exchange.

Axis Communications M3905-R M12 Image Processing & Scene Optimization

The M3905-R integrates Axis Lightfinder and scene profile technology (forensic, vivid, traffic overview) to optimize image quality for specific use cases. Exposure zones, fine-tuning of low-light behavior, dynamic range adjustment, and mirroring capabilities ensure professional output across varying environmental conditions. The camera supports corridor format mode and comprehensive overlay and privacy masking, critical for regulatory compliance and privacy-sensitive deployments.

Axis Communications M3905-R M12 System Architecture

Built on the Axis S6LM55 system-on-chip with 1024MB RAM and 512MB Flash storage, the M3905-R delivers responsive image processing and reliable operation in embedded and mobile platforms. Video streaming indicators and configurable frame rate control allow real-time bandwidth management, essential for limited bandwidth environments like mobile networks or satellite uplinks.
