Ajax TurretCam 5MP 2.8mm White Wired PoE Security Camera

Ajax TurretCam 5MP 2.8mm White Wired PoE Security Camera

The Ajax TurretCam 5MP is a wired IP turret camera designed to integrate tightly with Ajax alarm systems while delivering sharp, reliable video for homes and businesses. With a fixed 2.8mm lens offering a wide 100°-110° field of view, this camera is ideal for covering entrances, driveways, and open areas where broad coverage matters more than close-up detail. Its compact, weatherproof turret housing suits both indoor and outdoor mounting, and its AI-driven detection helps cut down on false alerts so you only get notified about events that actually matter.

• HDR and WDR support to automatically balance exposure in high-contrast lighting conditions
• Smart IR illumination with a range of up to 35m for clear night-time monitoring
• H.264 and H.265 compression for efficient storage without sacrificing image quality

• PoE (802.3at) or 12V DC power options, plus IP65 weatherproofing and tamper protection against unauthorised removal

Built for Ajax Alarm Integration

This camera is best suited to properties already running, or planning to run, an Ajax security ecosystem. When linked with Ajax detectors, the TurretCam can be configured to automatically start recording and send a photo or video alert the moment an alarm is triggered, giving installers and homeowners instant visual verification of an event. Its wide-angle 2.8mm lens makes it a strong choice for covering yards, car parks, warehouse floors, or shopfronts where a single camera needs to see a large area.

Frequently Asked Questions

It supports standard PoE (802.3at) for a single-cable install, or it can be powered via a 12V DC, 1A supply if PoE isn't available.

Can I use a microSD card instead of an NVR?
Yes, the camera supports microSD cards up to 256GB (Class V30 or faster) for local recording, in addition to NVR storage options.

Will this camera work without an Ajax alarm system installed?
Yes, it functions as a standalone wired IP camera, though its alarm-triggered recording and photo verification features require an Ajax security system to unlock their full benefit.
