Compact outdoor-ready 8 MP turret-style network camera with integrated IR, AI-based analytics and Axis Edge Vault cybersecurity.

The AXIS M3128-LVE Dome Camera 02920-001 is an AI-powered 8 MP turret-style network camera designed for compact indoor and outdoor video surveillance installations.

It belongs to the AXIS M31-LVE family alongside the AXIS M3125-LVE 2 MP and AXIS M3126-LVE 4 MP models.

The M3128-LVE combines a fixed wide-angle lens, integrated infrared illumination, day/night operation and AI-based video analytics in a compact outdoor-ready enclosure.

For installations where the camera needs to monitor a broad area from relatively short or moderate distances, its 2.9 mm lens and 110° horizontal field of view provide wide scene coverage.

The camera is also IP66 rated for environmental protection and IK08 rated for impact resistance.

8 MP Video for Detailed Surveillance

The M3128-LVE is the 8 MP model within this AXIS M31-LVE family.

Higher resolution can provide additional image detail when compared with lower-resolution members of the same family, but resolution should not be considered in isolation.

The useful level of detail at a particular point in the scene also depends on:

Viewing distance

Field of view

Camera placement

Lighting

Movement

Required identification objective

Video settings

For this reason, customers should determine the required surveillance outcome before selecting an 8 MP camera simply because it provides the highest resolution within this family.

2.9 mm Wide-Angle Lens

The camera uses a 2.9 mm F2.0 fixed lens.

Horizontal field of view: 110°

Vertical field of view: 60°

Minimum focus distance: 0.5 m

The wide horizontal view makes the camera suitable for applications where broad scene coverage is important.

Because the lens is fixed focus rather than varifocal, the required camera position and field of view should be checked before installation.

Fixed Lens vs Varifocal Camera

This is an important purchasing consideration.

The M3128-LVE uses a fixed 2.9 mm lens. It does not provide remote optical zoom or remote focus adjustment.

A fixed wide-angle camera can be a practical choice when the required scene is already known and approximately matches its field of view.

If an installation requires substantial optical adjustment after mounting, a compatible Axis camera with a varifocal lens and remote zoom/focus may be more appropriate.

Integrated IR and Day/Night Surveillance

The M3128-LVE includes built-in infrared illumination and supports day/night operation.

Integrated IR can assist the camera in monitoring scenes under low-light or dark conditions without requiring a separate IR illuminator for suitable applications.

Actual nighttime performance depends on factors including:

Camera placement

Subject distance

Scene reflectivity

Obstructions

Ambient lighting

Installation angle

IR requirements should therefore be assessed against the actual location rather than assuming the same nighttime result in every environment.

Lightfinder and WDR

The M31-LVE family incorporates Axis Lightfinder and Wide Dynamic Range imaging technologies.

Lightfinder supports usable imaging in low-light situations, while WDR can help in scenes containing both bright and dark areas.

Such conditions can occur around:

Building entrances

Retail entrances

Windows

Reception areas

Warehouses

Loading areas

Corridors with changing illumination

Actual performance remains dependent on the scene and camera configuration.

AI-Based Video Analytics

The AXIS M3128-LVE is designed to support AI-based video analytics at the edge.

This allows compatible analytics to process relevant video information directly on the camera rather than treating it solely as a video-capture device.

Analytics should always be selected and configured according to the actual monitoring objective.

The presence of AI capability does not mean that every possible analytics application or detection scenario will automatically be supported.

Axis Zipstream

Axis Zipstream is supported together with H.264 and H.265 video compression.

The technology is designed to help manage video bandwidth and storage requirements while retaining important surveillance information.

Actual storage consumption depends on configuration factors such as:

Resolution

Frame rate

Compression settings

Scene activity

Recording schedule

Retention period

Analytics and event configuration

Storage requirements should therefore be calculated for the intended surveillance system.

Power over Ethernet

The camera supports Power over Ethernet (PoE).

PoE allows compatible network infrastructure to carry network data and electrical power through the Ethernet connection, potentially simplifying camera cabling.

The supplied family specifications identify PoE Class 3.

The PoE switch, injector or other power source should be verified for compatibility with the exact camera and complete installation.

Local Storage

The camera includes a memory-card slot for local storage.

Local recording can be useful for certain edge-storage or redundancy strategies, depending on the surveillance design.

Memory-card type, capacity, recording configuration and retention requirements should be verified before deployment.

Outdoor and Impact Protection

The supplied specifications identify the camera as:

Outdoor ready

IP66 rated

IK08 rated

IP66 relates to protection against dust and water ingress under the applicable test conditions.

IK08 indicates resistance to a defined level of mechanical impact.

These ratings do not eliminate the need for correct mounting, cable protection and installation practices.

Built-In Cybersecurity

The AXIS M3128-LVE platform includes several device-security technologies.

These include:

Axis Edge Vault

Signed AXIS OS

Secure boot

Secure keystore

The supplied family information identifies a Secure Element with CC EAL6+ and FIPS 140-3 Level 3.

These features help establish device-level protection, but surveillance cybersecurity should also include appropriate:

Network architecture

User permissions

Password management

Firmware maintenance

VMS security

Remote-access controls

Recording protection

Confirm exact part number 02920-001.

Confirm the required black or white variant.

Verify regional SKU requirements.

Confirm that 8 MP resolution is required.

Verify that the fixed 2.9 mm lens is appropriate.

Confirm the 110° horizontal field of view suits the scene.

Check the required viewing and identification distance.

Verify low-light and IR requirements.

Who Should Consider the AXIS M3128-LVE?

The M3128-LVE may suit customers requiring high-resolution, wide-area surveillance from a compact fixed camera.

It should be considered where the 110° horizontal field of view matches the required scene and optical zoom is unnecessary.

For applications requiring a narrower view, adjustable focal length or remote optical adjustment, a varifocal Axis camera may be a more appropriate choice.
