Built for Integrated Security Projects

This camera is designed for users running an Ajax alarm and video ecosystem who want CCTV footage directly linked to intrusion detection events. When paired with Ajax detectors, recordings can be triggered automatically by motion, door/window sensors or other alarm events, then reviewed instantly through the Ajax mobile or desktop app. It's a practical option for homes, retail premises, offices and light industrial sites needing dependable perimeter or entry-point monitoring alongside an existing or planned Ajax alarm system.

No. The TurretCam can record locally to a microSD card (sold separately, up to 256GB) or connect to an Ajax NVR for centralised, longer-term storage.

Can it be powered without a PoE switch?
Yes, it also accepts standard 12V DC power if PoE isn't available on site.

Will it work with a non-Ajax alarm system?
It's built to integrate tightly with the Ajax ecosystem, but it can also connect into third-party video management systems for general CCTV viewing.
