Built-In IR for Total Darkness

Onboard IR illumination reaches up to 15 m (49 ft), so the camera keeps producing usable footage even when no other light source is present — no external illuminator required.

AI-Powered Video and Audio Analytics

AXIS Object Analytics classifies, tracks, and counts people on the edge, while an acoustic sensor and AXIS Audio Analytics detect key sounds like screams, shouts, glass breaks, or sudden volume changes.

Snap-On Installation and Enterprise-Grade Security

The casing snaps on without screws for flexible, discreet wall or ceiling mounting, and Axis Edge Vault provides FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certified secure key storage alongside signed OS and secure boot.

Note on this specification table: This table is built directly from the AXIS M3098-LV's own current datasheet PDF. Unlike the M3085-V datasheet used earlier in this project, this revision already lists AXIS Live Privacy Shield and AXIS Scene Metadata among the included applications, so there is no feature gap to flag here. One caveat: Axis presents overall product dimensions only as a drawing in the datasheet PDF, not as extractable text, so height/width/depth are left blank rather than estimated. Weight (206 g / 0.45 lb) is confirmed and included below.
