Axis Communications S3008 Mk II 8 TB Recorder Overview
The AXIS S3008 Mk II 8 TB Recorder (model 02766-004) is a compact network video recorder purpose-built for small to mid-scale surveillance deployments. Equipped with an integrated PoE switch supporting up to 8 Class 3 devices and a surveillance-grade 8 TB hard drive, it delivers reliable recording for UHD video streams across single-site or multi-site network architectures. The recorder is designed for easy installation and integration into existing AXIS Camera Station and AXIS Companion environments.
Axis S3008 Mk II 8 TB Recorder Key Features
- Integrated 8-Port PoE Switch: Native support for 8 PoE Class 3 devices eliminates the need for external switching infrastructure, reducing deployment complexity and cabling.
- Gigabit Uplink Connectivity: 1 Gbps network uplink port (RJ45 10BASE-T/100BASE-Tx/1000BASE-Tx) enables efficient video streaming and multi-camera recording at UHD resolutions without bandwidth bottlenecks.
- Surveillance-Grade 8 TB Hard Drive: Purpose-built storage subsystem ensures reliable continuous recording and supports extended retention periods for forensic playback and archival.
- Compact Physical Design: Dimensions of 180 x 180 x 53 mm (7 1/16 x 7 1/16 x 2 1/16 inches) and weight of 3.2 lbs (1450g) permit flexible mounting in space-constrained environments—racks, cabinets, or shelving.
- Encrypted Storage with AES-xTS-Plain64 256-bit: Hardware-accelerated full-disk encryption protects recorded video from unauthorized access, meeting compliance requirements for sensitive surveillance deployments.
- Comprehensive Cybersecurity Architecture: Includes TPM 2.0 (CCEAL4+, FIPS 140-2 Level 2), secure element (CCEAL6+), system-on-chip security (TEE), Axis device ID, secure key store, secure boot, and signed OS with brute-force delay protection and OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Authorization Code Flow credential management.
- Enterprise-Grade Network Security: Supports IEEE 802.1x (EAP-TLS, PEAP-MSCHAPv2), IEEE 802.1AE (MACsec PSK/EAT-TLS), HTTPS/HSTS, TLS v1.2/v1.3, Network Time Security (NTS), x.509 Certificate PKI, and host-based firewall for threat defense across the network perimeter.
- USB 3.0 Export Capability: Rear-panel USB 3.0 (Mass Storage class) port facilitates rapid export of recorded footage for evidence retention, forensic analysis, or incident documentation.
- Wide Operating Temperature Range: Rated for 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F) operation and -40°C to 65°C (-40°F to 149°F) storage, permitting deployment in both climate-controlled facilities and semi-conditioned environments.
- 5-Year Limited Hardware Warranty: Manufacturer-backed warranty provides coverage on hard drive, components, and labor, reducing total cost of ownership and ensuring continuity of service.
- Environmentally Compliant Design: PVC-free construction aligns with sustainability and regulatory standards across North American and international markets.
Axis S3008 Mk II 8 TB Recorder Integration & Compatibility
The recorder is compatible with AXIS Camera Station (both Edge and Pro installations), AXIS Companion software, and the AXIS mobile application suite, enabling unified video management across desktop, browser, and mobile endpoints. Support for IEEE 802.1x authentication and PKI certificate management integrates seamlessly into enterprise Active Directory and ADFS account frameworks. The gigabit uplink supports network integration with existing IP infrastructure, including managed switches, firewalls, and network access control (NAC) systems. The recorder is not a system controller for body-worn solutions.
