Axis P3905-R MK III 2MP Dome Camera 10-Pack
The Axis P3905-R MK III is a compact, fixed indoor dome network camera engineered for professional surveillance deployments. This bulk 10-pack (SKU 02670-021) delivers full HD 1920x1080 resolution with advanced compression, forensic-grade wide dynamic range, and intelligent low-light performance. Purpose-built for integration into multi-camera ONVIF-compatible systems, the P3905-R MK III combines durability, flexibility, and ease of deployment across retail, office, education, and corporate environments.
Key Features
- Full HD 1920x1080 (2MP) Resolution: Captures crisp forensic-quality video at 25/30 fps (H.264/H.265) or 15 fps (Motion JPEG) with 16:9 aspect ratio
- Forensic WDR up to 120 dB: Preserves detail in high-contrast scenes with simultaneous bright and dark areas without image degradation
- Superior Low-Light Sensitivity: Lightfinder technology achieves 0.04 lux @ 30 IRE (F2.0 3.6mm lens) and 0.02 lux @ 30 IRE (F1.2 2.8mm lens) for reliable color and monochrome performance in minimal illumination
- Dual Video Compression: Supports H.264 and H.265 codecs with Axis Zipstream intelligent bitrate optimization, plus Motion JPEG for additional flexibility

Ideal Applications
The P3905-R MK III is optimized for indoor deployments requiring compact form factors, high-quality Full HD imagery, and intelligent low-light operation. Common use cases include office building lobbies, retail checkouts and fitting rooms, educational institutions, reception areas, and other environments where discreet surveillance with superior image clarity is essential. Its digital PTZ and preset capabilities enable flexible scene monitoring without multiple fixed cameras, while dual-compression support ensures efficient bandwidth and storage utilization across large multi-camera installations.

The P3905-R MK III represents Axis' refined approach to compact indoor surveillance. The Forensic WDR implementation (up to 120 dB) is particularly strong for mixed-lighting scenarios—retail environments with windows and interior lighting, for example—where traditional WDR solutions struggle. The Lightfinder low-light performance at 0.04 lux (F2.0) positions this unit competitively in the entry-to-mid-range dome segment without requiring external IR supplements in most indoor settings.
H.265 codec support combined with Axis Zipstream technology delivers measurable bandwidth savings—typically 30–50% reduction compared to unoptimized H.264—critical for deployments with limited network infrastructure or high-density camera counts. The fixed 3.6mm lens and digital PTZ eliminate mechanical complexity while maintaining reasonable scene coverage; M12 mount design reduces installation time and improves reliability versus traditional RJ45 connectors.
Security architecture (signed firmware, secure boot, HTTPS) meets modern enterprise compliance standards, while 5-year warranty backing underscores Axis' confidence in long-term platform stability. The 10-pack format is ideal for systematic deployments, reducing per-unit logistics costs and ensuring firmware consistency across large installations.
