AXIS M3098-V 8 MP AI-Powered Mini Dome Camera - 03275-001
Description
AXIS M3098-V 8 MP AI-Powered Mini Dome Camera – 03275-001
The AXIS M3098-V is a compact, AI-powered 8 MP (4K UHD) mini dome camera built for indoor surveillance where discreet installation and on-camera intelligence both matter. It pairs Forensic WDR and Lightfinder image quality with a full analytics suite — AXIS Object Analytics, AXIS Audio Analytics, AXIS Image Health Analytics, AXIS Scene Metadata, and AXIS Live Privacy Shield — running directly on the device, backed by Axis Edge Vault hardware security.
Why Choose the AXIS M3098-V?
- 8 MP / 4K UHD resolution with a wide 124° horizontal field of view
- Forensic WDR and Lightfinder for challenging light conditions
- AI-powered analytics preinstalled: Object, Audio, Image Health, Scene Metadata, and Live Privacy Shield
- Snap-on, screw-free indoor installation
- Bluetooth 5.4 Low Energy for direct installation view via the AXIS Installer app
- Axis Edge Vault with hardware-backed secure key storage meeting FIPS 140-3 Level 3 requirements, as specified by Axis
- 5-year Axis warranty
- AXIS OS supported through December 31, 2035
4K-Class Detail for Everyday Indoor Surveillance
AXIS M3098-V captures up to 3840x2160 (8 MP) resolution. Forensic WDR helps preserve detail in scenes containing both bright and dark areas, such as entrances with bright exterior windows, while Lightfinder keeps colors accurate as ambient light drops. A 124° horizontal field of view covers wide areas from a single mounting point, and corridor format reorients the image for long hallways.
AI-Powered Analytics, Right on the Camera
AXIS Object Analytics runs directly on the device to detect, classify, track, and count humans and vehicles. It supports configurable scenarios including object in area, line crossing, occupancy in an area, and crossline counting, among others available on this platform. Scenarios run on shared on-device compute, so the number and complexity of scenarios active at once depends on configuration and available resources rather than being unlimited.
Audio Analytics That Listens for Trouble
A built-in acoustic sensor paired with AXIS Audio Analytics can detect and analyze sounds including screams, shouts, glass breaking, speech, coughing fits, and sudden changes in sound level. As with any audio detection technology, performance depends on ambient noise and placement, so it's best understood as an additional layer of awareness rather than a guarantee of detection in every condition.
Image Health Monitoring
AXIS Image Health Analytics helps identify image-quality issues — such as a blocked or redirected camera, or a blurred or underexposed image — so security teams can maintain reliable video coverage and catch tampering or degradation before it becomes a blind spot.
Privacy-Enhancing Video With Live Privacy Shield
AXIS Live Privacy Shield provides privacy-enhancing functionality for applications where portions of the video need to be masked, using dynamic masking rather than a static overlay. It's a tool for reducing unnecessary visual exposure in a scene; it does not by itself make a deployment compliant with FERPA, HIPAA, GDPR, or any other regulation, which depends on the overall system design and use.
Quick, Tool-Minimal Mounting
The casing snaps onto its base with no screws required, and the camera arrives factory-focused for a fast, straightforward install on walls or ceilings. Installers can also use the AXIS Installer app's direct installation view — a Bluetooth 5.4 Low Energy connection used specifically for viewing and adjusting the camera stream during setup, without needing network access. This is a commissioning feature, not general Wi-Fi connectivity for the camera.
Hardware-Backed Cybersecurity
Axis Edge Vault anchors the device's identity in hardware, with secure boot and signed OS/firmware confirming the camera is running unmodified software. Its secure element provides hardware-backed key storage that meets FIPS 140-3 Level 3 requirements, as specified by Axis, for protecting cryptographic keys used in HTTPS, IEEE 802.1X, and Axis device ID operations. Network-side protections include HTTPS, IEEE 802.1X, and IEEE 802.1AE (MACsec) support, and signed video allows recorded footage to be traced back to the originating camera.
Indoor Installation, Impact-Resistant Housing
The AXIS M3098-V is designed for indoor installations. It carries an IP42 rating (protection against dust and light dripping water, not weatherproofing) and IK08 impact resistance, which protects against tampering and rough handling in occupied indoor spaces rather than sustained outdoor exposure.
Typical Applications
- General indoor retail and office surveillance
- Multi-tenant building common areas
- School and campus interior monitoring
- Restaurant and hospitality interiors
