The 2.8 mm version provides a wider field of view and brighter F1.5 aperture, making it especially useful for broad onboard cabin coverage.

Lens & Viewing Performance

Lens Mount: M12
Replaceable Lens: Yes
Digital Pan/Tilt: Yes
Digital Zoom: Yes

The 3.6 mm lens provides a more focused field of view, while the 2.8 mm lens offers wider coverage for monitoring larger cabin areas from a compact mounting position.

Video & Compression

Maximum Resolution: 1920 × 1080
Maximum Frame Rate: 45 fps
H.264: Main & High Profiles
H.265: Supported
Axis Zipstream: Supported

Axis Zipstream helps reduce bandwidth and storage requirements while preserving important surveillance detail.

Traffic Light Mode

The Traffic Light mode is designed for transportation environments where rapidly changing or difficult lighting conditions may affect visibility.

It can help improve image usability when the vehicle moves through varying lighting conditions such as tunnels, stations, bright exterior light or shaded interior areas.

System Integration

Active Tampering Detection: Yes
AXIS Camera Application Platform: Supported
Digital I/O: Not specified
Audio Support: No
Built-in Microphone: No

The camera can therefore participate in event-driven surveillance systems while remaining focused on video monitoring rather than integrated audio capture.

Network, Power & Storage

Power over Ethernet: PoE Class 1
Local Storage: Memory Card Slot
Network Security: HTTPS Encryption
IEEE 802.1X: Supported
Signed OS: Yes

Low PoE power requirements can simplify deployment across transportation networks where power budgets are tightly controlled.

Environmental & Physical Protection

Operating Temperature: -30°C to +55°C
Impact Resistance: IK10
Ingress Protection: IP66 / IP67
Outdoor Ready: Not specified

IK10

Provides strong impact resistance for environments where vibration, accidental contact or vandalism may occur.

IP66

Provides protection against dust and powerful water jets.

IP67

Provides protection against temporary immersion according to applicable test conditions.

These ratings support reliable operation in demanding transportation and onboard environments.

EN50155 Compliance

The AXIS P3905-R Mk III complies with EN50155, a key standard for electronic equipment used on railway vehicles.

This makes it particularly suitable for:

• Trains
• Trams
• Metros
• Rail vehicles
• Public transportation systems

The compliance reflects suitability for environments involving vibration, temperature variation and electrical conditions associated with onboard transportation systems.

Applications & Industries

Railway & Metro: Passenger compartments, driver cabins and internal vehicle areas.

Buses & Coaches: Onboard passenger monitoring and transport security.

Trams & Light Rail: Compact surveillance where vibration-resistant equipment is required.

Emergency Vehicles: Internal monitoring for ambulances and special-purpose vehicles.

Public Transportation: General onboard video surveillance and incident review.

Fleet Operations: Vehicle interior monitoring and operational oversight.

Purpose of Use

The AXIS P3905-R Mk III is designed for mobile and transportation environments where a conventional fixed indoor camera may not withstand vibration, impact or demanding operating conditions.

Typical applications include:

• Passenger monitoring
• Driver cabin surveillance
• Onboard incident recording
• Public transport security
• Train and tram surveillance
• Bus interior monitoring
• Fleet safety review
• Event-driven video recording
• Vandal-resistant onboard surveillance
• Low-light passenger-area monitoring

Important Operational Notes

✔ Select the 2.8 mm or 3.6 mm lens according to required field of view.

✔ The 2.8 mm version provides wider coverage and a brighter F1.5 aperture.

✔ M12 variants are better suited where secure vibration-resistant network connections are required.

✔ The camera does not include built-in IR, so sufficient ambient lighting should be available for very dark environments.

✔ Recording at 45 fps can increase bandwidth and storage requirements compared with conventional 25/30 fps recording.
