Ajax TurretCam 8MP 2.8mm Black Wired AI Security Camera

The Ajax TurretCam (8MP/2.8mm) in black is a wired IP security camera built to work as part of the Ajax ecosystem or as a standalone high-resolution surveillance device. Delivering sharp 3840x2160px video through a wide 100-110 degree lens, it combines smart AI-based detection, true WDR imaging, and smart infrared illumination to deliver reliable footage day and night, indoors or outdoors.

Key Features

• 8MP resolution with video output up to 3840x2160px at 20 FPS for crisp, detailed footage.
• Wide 2.8mm lens giving a 100-110 degree field of view, ideal for covering entrances, driveways, and yards.
• AI object recognition that distinguishes people, vehicles, and pets to reduce false alerts and simplify footage review.
• Smart IR illumination reaching up to 35 metres, with automatic intensity adjustment to avoid overexposing nearby objects.
• True WDR and HDR processing for balanced exposure in high-contrast lighting conditions.
• JetSparrow video protocol, Ajax's own encrypted peer-to-peer streaming technology, for fast and secure live viewing plus efficient archive navigation.
• Flexible storage options, supporting microSD cards up to 256GB (Class V30 or faster) as well as recording to a network video recorder.
• Built-in microphone for audio capture alongside video when enabled in settings.
• Durable IP65-rated metal housing suited to both indoor and outdoor mounting, with a tamper-resistant design.

Built for Integration and Everyday Surveillance

This camera is designed to slot straight into an Ajax security setup, letting motion and door/window detectors trigger selected cameras to start recording so alarm events come with instant visual confirmation. It also functions well as a general-purpose PoE IP camera for homes, offices, retail premises, and light industrial sites where clear footage, AI-based filtering, and secure remote access are priorities. Passwordless mTLS authentication and encrypted video transmission help protect the feed from interception or spoofing, while flexible power options make installation straightforward.
