Ajax TurretCam HL White 8MP 2.8mm AI IP Camera

The Ajax TurretCam HL (8MP/2.8mm) is a wired PoE IP turret camera built for professional-grade day and night surveillance. Housed in a compact white enclosure, it pairs a sharp 8MP sensor with a wide 2.8mm lens and Ajax's hybrid illumination system, giving installers a versatile option for entrances, driveways, yards, and general indoor or outdoor perimeter coverage as part of a wider Ajax security ecosystem.

Key Features

• 8MP high-resolution sensor – resolution up to 3840×2160 px, a frame rate of 20 FPS, and a viewing angle from 100° to 110° for detailed identification of faces, vehicles, and objects.
• Hybrid illumination technology – switches automatically from infrared to white light to capture clear, full-colour footage even in complete darkness, with both IR and white light reaching up to 50 metres.
• AI-powered object recognition – delivers precise motion detection and AI-powered recognition of people, vehicles, and animals, helping reduce false alerts.
• TrueWDR imaging – Ajax cameras easily adapt to changing lighting conditions thanks to True WDR, balancing bright and shadowed areas in the same frame.
• Deterrent white light burst – the built-in white LED can trigger on detected motion, acting as a visible deterrent while illuminating the scene in colour.
• Flexible power options – supports both PoE and 12V DC power for straightforward installation in most site layouts.
• Built-in digital microphone – digital microphone, G.711 codec (ULAW or ALAW) for audio alongside video.
• Local storage support – up to 256 GB microSD slot for onboard recording in addition to NVR storage.
• Rugged, weatherproof build – rated IP65 and IK08 certification, it ensures protection against dust, water and impacts, suited to demanding outdoor conditions.

Built for Reliable, Connected Security

As part of the Ajax ecosystem, the TurretCam HL coordinates smoothly with intrusion, fire, and automation devices, making it a strong fit for homes, small businesses, retail premises, and mixed indoor/outdoor sites that already use or plan to use Ajax hubs and detectors. It uses JetSparrow, a fast and encrypted peer-to-peer video protocol developed by Ajax Systems, and can be integrated into third-party video management systems (VMS) for larger multi-camera installations. Video and system data handling has also passed independent cybersecurity tests, proving the device's safety and reliability, giving installers confidence when deploying it on security-conscious sites.
