Ajax TurretCam 5MP 2.8mm Black - Wired AI IP Camera

The Ajax TurretCam (5MP/2.8mm) in black is a wired network turret camera built for both standalone video surveillance and seamless alarm verification within the Ajax security ecosystem. It pairs a sharp 5MP sensor with a wide 2.8mm lens, on-device AI analytics, and a rugged IP65 metal housing, making it a strong fit for entries, driveways, retail frontages, and general perimeter monitoring where reliable day-and-night footage matters.

Key Features

• 5MP resolution: Captures video up to 2880 x 1620px at up to 25 frames per second for crisp, detailed footage.
• Wide 2.8mm lens: Delivers a broad 100-110 degree field of view, reducing the number of cameras needed to cover an area.
• AI object detection: Distinguishes between humans, pets, and vehicles to cut down on nuisance alerts.
• True WDR and HDR: Balances exposure automatically in high-contrast scenes such as bright sky against shaded doorways.
• Smart IR night vision: Illuminates scenes up to roughly 35m, adjusting intensity to avoid overexposing nearby objects.
• JetSparrow video protocol: Ajax's proprietary encrypted peer-to-peer streaming engine supports H.264 and H.265 for efficient, fast video delivery.
• Flexible storage options: Records to a microSD card or to an Ajax NVR with a large-capacity hard disk.
• Robust, weatherproof build: IP65-rated metal enclosure with tamper protection suits both indoor and outdoor mounting.
• PoE or 12V DC power: Supports standard 802.3at Power over Ethernet or a separate 12V/1A power adapter.

Built for Everyday Security Monitoring

This turret camera suits homeowners and installers who want dependable coverage of entry points, side passages, or small commercial premises. Because it integrates directly with Ajax hubs and detectors, it can be configured to start recording automatically when a linked Ajax sensor triggers an alarm, giving users near-instant visual confirmation of what caused the event through the Ajax mobile or desktop app.
