Description
5 MP turret camera for indoor and outdoor use, white finish. It is the colour for light façades, whitewashed eaves and painted porches, which is where most of these cameras end up. The same camera comes in black.
Five megapixels (2880 × 1620) is the resolution that covers most of a house properly. More resolution is not always the better decision: every extra megapixel takes disk space, and across several cameras recording at once that means fewer days of footage kept on the same disk. The practical rule: 8 MP where you need to identify at distance; 5 MP everywhere else.
It carries a fixed 2.8 mm lens at 100° to 110°, a progressive scan CMOS sensor and True WDR/HDR to balance bright and dark areas. Infrared to 50 metres, a built-in microphone, a microSD slot up to 256 GB for recording in the camera itself, AI functions and mTLS video encryption. IP65 rated, −25 to +40 °C: it works indoors and out.
How we install it. One network cable per camera to the recorder or switch, carrying data and power together: no sockets on the façade. Height is chosen balancing “out of reach” against “a face, not the top of a head”, and with a 2.8 mm lens — a wide view — the distance to the door decides how much detail is left of a person. It weighs nearly half a kilo, so it goes on solid surface. We finish by setting framing and recording camera by camera.
If that position needs a number plate read or a face recognised further away, step up to the 8 MP turret. The recorder is under Ajax NVR recorders, and the disk everything is kept on is the 2 TB surveillance hard drive.
