Ajax TurretCam HL 5MP White 2.8mm Hybrid Illumination IP Camera

The Ajax TurretCam HL is a wired AI-powered turret IP camera that pairs a 5 MP sensor with a 2.8 mm wide-angle lens for full coverage of entrances, yards, and indoor spaces. Its standout feature is hybrid illumination, which automatically blends infrared and white light so footage stays clear and in full colour even in total darkness, while the sudden white light burst doubles as a visible deterrent to intruders.
