LTS Platinum CMIP-PH5 5MP IP Covert Pinhole Camera (3.7mm Fixed Lens)

LTS Platinum CMIP-PH5 5MP IP Covert Pinhole Camera

The LTS Platinum CMIP-PH5 is a discreet 5-megapixel network camera built into a compact covert housing with a fixed 3.7mm pinhole lens. Designed for installations where a visible camera body is impractical or undesirable, it delivers sharp high-resolution footage while remaining virtually unnoticeable when mounted behind a wall, ceiling, mirror or fixture. It's a popular choice for LTS Platinum-line customers who need reliable covert monitoring without sacrificing image quality or network features.

Key Features

• 5MP Resolution: Captures detailed video at up to 2944x1656 resolution at 20fps for clear identification of people and activity.
• Fixed 3.7mm Pinhole Lens: A small, unobtrusive lens opening keeps the camera concealed while still providing a useful field of view for covert applications.
• Low-Light Sensitivity: Rated at 0.3 lux @ F2.3 with AGC enabled, allowing usable images in dim indoor environments without added illumination.
• H.264 Compression: Supports Profile S and G encoding for efficient bandwidth use and manageable storage requirements.
• 2D & 3D Noise Reduction: Reduces image grain and improves clarity in low-light or high-motion scenes.
• Audio In/Out: Built-in audio input and output ports allow integration of an external microphone or speaker for two-way audio or audio recording alongside video.
• PoE Powered: Runs on an external 802.3af Power over Ethernet source, drawing roughly 4W, which simplifies cabling by combining power and data on a single Ethernet run.
• Swivel Mounting Bracket Included: The included bracket allows the small camera head to be angled and positioned precisely during installation.

Ideal for Discreet Indoor Surveillance

The CMIP-PH5 is well suited to environments where a standard camera housing would be too conspicuous or could be tampered with, such as reception desks, cash offices, staff rooms, retail checkout counters, interview rooms and internal corridors. Because the lens module is separated from the main camera body, installers can hide the pinhole lens in a wall, ceiling tile or cabinet while routing the body and PoE cable to a less visible location, making it a flexible option for covert or low-profile indoor CCTV deployments within an LTS Platinum-based IP video system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the CMIP-PH5 require a separate power supply?
No. It is powered externally via 802.3af PoE, so a single Ethernet cable from a compatible PoE switch or injector supplies both power and network connectivity.

Can the lens angle be adjusted after installation?
Yes. The included swivel mounting bracket lets installers fine-tune the camera's viewing angle once it is fixed in place.

Is audio recording supported?
The camera includes audio in/out connections, so it can capture or output sound when paired with a compatible external microphone or speaker.
