AXIS M3057-PLR Mk II Dome Camera – 6 MP Panoramic Onboard Camera for Transit Surveillance

The AXIS M3057-PLR Mk II is a ruggedized 6 MP panoramic dome camera engineered specifically for onboard surveillance in buses, trains, and other transit vehicles. It complies with transportation industry standards including EN50155 and EN45545-2, delivering a complete 180° or 360° overview from a single mounting point, along with Lightfinder, Forensic WDR, OptimizedIR, and Axis Edge Vault cybersecurity.

Why Choose the AXIS M3057-PLR Mk II?

6 MP panoramic sensor for a full 180° or 360° overview
Complies with EN50155 and EN45545-2 transportation standards
Lightfinder for color video in low light
Forensic WDR for high-contrast scenes
OptimizedIR for total darkness
IP66/67 and IK10-rated ruggedized housing
M12 rugged connector built for vibration
Axis Edge Vault hardware-based cybersecurity

One Camera, a Complete Overview

The 6 MP panoramic sensor covers a full 180° or 360° field from a single mounting point. One video stream can be dewarped into panorama, quad, corner, or corridor views directly on the camera, cutting down the number of cameras needed to cover a vehicle interior.

Built for the Rigors of Transit

Compliance with EN50155 and EN45545-2 means this camera is designed for the vibration, temperature swings, and fire-safety requirements found in buses and rail cars. A rugged M12 connector with a rotatable coupling nut keeps connections secure over rough routes.

Clear Images in Any Light

Lightfinder renders color detail in low light, Forensic WDR balances scenes with both bright and dark areas, and OptimizedIR extends usable video into total darkness.

Cybersecurity and Tamper Awareness

Axis Edge Vault anchors the device's identity in hardware, while an active tampering alarm and signed firmware help confirm the camera hasn't been altered, even after a factory reset.

Typical Applications

Buses and light rail interior surveillance
Train cars and transit vehicle monitoring
Fleet and depot security
Onboard incident and passenger safety documentation
