Axis M3088-V 8MP Indoor Mini Dome Camera - 02375-001

Axis M3088-V 8MP Indoor Mini Dome Camera - 02375-001

The AXIS M3088-V (part 02375-001) is a fixed 8 MP (4K) indoor mini dome that captures high-resolution detail from a compact, discreet housing. A fixed 2.9 mm lens covers a wide 109° horizontal field of view, so one ceiling-mounted camera can take in an entire room, lobby, classroom, or retail floor. An on-board deep-learning processing unit runs AXIS Object Analytics for people and vehicle detection at the edge, while Wide Dynamic Range keeps both bright windows and shadowed corners legible. With IK08 vandal resistance, a removable IR-cut filter for day-and-night operation, and single-cable PoE, the M3088-V is a cost-efficient choice for indoor surveillance where 4K detail and an unobtrusive form factor matter.

Key Features

• Fixed 8 MP (4K) Resolution: 3840×2160 at 12/15 fps delivers far more pixels-on-target than a 2 MP or 4 MP dome—valuable for forensic zoom-in across a wide indoor scene.
• Wide 109° View, Fixed 2.9 mm Lens: One camera covers a full room or aisle; the fixed iris, IR-corrected optic keeps commissioning simple with nothing to focus or maintain.
• Deep-Learning Edge Analytics (DLPU): AXIS Object Analytics classifies people and vehicles (including a time-in-area function) on the camera, alongside AXIS Video Motion Detection—fewer false alerts and less recorder load.
• Wide Dynamic Range: Balances mixed bright and dark areas—sunlit lobby windows against interior shadow—so detail survives in high-contrast indoor scenes.
• Day & Night Operation: An automatically removable IR-cut filter maintains usable images as light falls (B/W down to 0.05 lux at F2.0). The M3088-V has no built-in IR illuminator—add area or external IR lighting for fully dark rooms.
• Axis Zipstream (H.264/H.265): Cuts bandwidth and storage on 4K recording by adapting compression to scene activity, with H.264 fallback for legacy VMS; Motion JPEG also supported.
• Single-Cable PoE: Powered over one network cable via IEEE 802.3af/802.3at Type 1, Class 2—no separate power supply.
• IK08 Vandal-Resistant Mini Dome: Compact polycarbonate/ABS housing resists tampering; IP42-rated for indoor (drip-proof) use and rated 0°C to 40°C.
• Edge Storage & Cybersecurity: microSD/microSDHC/microSDXC slot with SD card encryption; secure boot and Axis Edge Vault with Axis device ID protect device identity.
• Open Integration: ONVIF Profile S, G, M, and T plus VAPIX and the AXIS Camera Application Platform (ACAP) for broad NVR/VMS compatibility.

The M3088-V pairs a 1/2.8-inch RGB CMOS sensor with a fixed 2.9 mm IR-corrected lens to render a wide 109° × 56° scene in full 4K (3840×2160). Because focus and iris are fixed, installation is quick and there is nothing to recalibrate over the camera's life. Wide Dynamic Range tames mixed indoor lighting, and the automatically removable IR-cut filter switches the camera into a light-sensitive day/night mode as ambient light drops—down to roughly 0.05 lux in monochrome. For rooms that go completely dark, pair the camera with area lighting or an external IR illuminator, since the M3088-V itself does not include IR LEDs.

As a fixed indoor mini dome, the M3088-V is built for discreet, low-maintenance coverage of interior spaces—retail floors, lobbies, classrooms, transit concourses, and back-of-house areas—where a wide 4K view from an unobtrusive housing is more useful than a bulky or moving camera. Its compact 150 g polycarbonate/ABS body is IK08 vandal-resistant and mounts flush to a ceiling or wall; a single PoE cable carries both power and data. The IP42 rating and 0°C to 40°C range make it an indoor device—for outdoor or wet locations, choose a weather-sealed outdoor dome instead.

On the network side, ONVIF Profile S, G, M, and T plus VAPIX and ACAP let the M3088-V integrate cleanly with Axis and third-party recorders and video-management software, and support installation of third-party analytics apps. AXIS Object Analytics runs on the camera's deep-learning processing unit to detect and classify people and vehicles, reducing nuisance alarms and offloading work from the recording server. A microSD card with AES-XTS encryption provides local edge recording, and secure boot plus Axis Edge Vault with Axis device ID harden the camera against tampering and unauthorized access. Two-way audio is available through optional Axis audio and I/O accessories.

The M3088-V earns its place wherever an integrator needs dependable, high-resolution indoor coverage from a compact, vandal-resistant dome—backed by edge analytics and proven Axis cybersecurity—without paying for outdoor hardening or moving optics the application does not require. Pair it with an Axis or ONVIF recorder for a complete system. Explore the Axis catalog for complementary cameras and recorders to round out a deployment.

Perspective based on aggregated and affiliated engineering team experience.

The M3088-V is the camera we reach for when a client wants real 4K detail indoors without paying for features the space doesn't need. Eight megapixels from a tiny dome means you can cover a whole retail floor or lobby with one camera and still crop in on a face or a register later. The fixed 2.9 mm lens and 109° view make it a wide-area room camera, not a long-throw or zoom device—set the mounting position to frame the scene and you're done. The two things to keep straight: it's an indoor camera (IP42, 0–40°C), so it does not belong on an exterior wall, and it has no built-in IR—it does day/night with a removable IR-cut filter but needs some ambient or external light to see in true darkness. Where there's any working light, the WDR and the 8 MP sensor do a genuinely nice job, and the on-camera deep-learning analytics keep the false-alarm noise down without loading the recorder.

Technical Highlights:

• Fixed 8 MP / 4K (3840×2160): High pixel density for forensic detail across a wide indoor scene; 12/15 fps with WDR.
• Fixed 2.9 mm Lens, 109° × 56°: Wide room coverage from a compact dome; fixed iris and focus mean fast, maintenance-free installs.
• Deep-Learning Object Analytics: Human/vehicle classification and time-in-area on the edge, plus Video Motion Detection—lower false-alarm load.
• Day/Night, No Built-in IR: Removable IR-cut filter; ~0.05 lux B/W at F2.0; add external IR for fully dark rooms.
• IK08 Indoor Mini Dome: 150 g polycarbonate/ABS, IP42, 0°C to 40°C; PoE Class 2 on a single cable.
• Open & Secure: ONVIF S/G/M/T, VAPIX, ACAP; microSD with encryption; secure boot and Axis Edge Vault.

Deployment Considerations:

• This is an indoor camera (IP42, 0–40°C). Do not mount it outdoors or in wet/washdown areas—use a weather-rated outdoor dome there.
• No built-in IR. In rooms that go fully dark, plan area lighting or an external IR illuminator; the removable IR-cut filter alone needs some light to work.
• The 2.9 mm lens is fixed and wide (109°). It excels at whole-room coverage, not distant detail—choose mounting height/position to frame the area.
• 4K at 12/15 fps suits detail-over-motion use. For fast action needing 25/30 fps, evaluate a model rated for higher frame rates.
• Two-way audio requires an optional Axis audio/I/O accessory; the camera has no built-in microphone or speaker.

Best suited to indoor retail, education, transit, and commercial spaces where wide 4K coverage from a discreet, vandal-resistant dome matters more than outdoor hardening or zoom. Explore the Axis catalog to pair it with recorders and complementary models.
