Ajax DomeCam Mini HL 8MP 2.8mm Black

Ajax DomeCam Mini HL 8MP 2.8mm Black

The Ajax DomeCam Black 8MP is a wired AI-powered IP security camera designed for high-resolution, wide-area indoor and outdoor surveillance. Its 8MP CMOS image sensor delivers video resolution up to 3840 × 2160, while the fixed 2.8mm f/1.6 lens provides a broad horizontal field of view of up to 110°.

Additionally, the camera combines intelligent hybrid illumination with 120 dB True WDR and AI-powered object recognition. Therefore, it provides detailed surveillance across broad areas while maintaining reliable performance under changing lighting conditions.

8MP 4K Video

The DomeCam Mini HL uses an 8MP CMOS 1/2.7-inch image sensor.

Supported resolutions include:

• 8MP: 3840 × 2160
• 6MP: 3072 × 1728
• 5MP: 2944 × 1656
• 5MP: 2880 × 1620
• 5MP: 2592 × 1944
• 4MP: 2560 × 1440
• 3MP: 2304 × 1296
• 2MP: 1920 × 1080
• 0.6MP: 1024 × 576

The camera supports a frame rate of up to 20 fps.

Furthermore, image rotation can be configured at:

• 0°
• 180°

2.8mm Wide-Angle Lens

The camera uses a fixed 2.8mm lens with a maximum aperture of f/1.6.

Field of view:

• Horizontal: 100°–110°
• Vertical: 50°–60°
• Diagonal: 125°–135°

Therefore, the 2.8mm lens provides broad surveillance coverage and is particularly suitable for entrances, reception areas, retail spaces, courtyards, parking areas and other locations where a wider field of view is required.

DORI Distance

For the 8MP / 2.8mm configuration:

• Detection: Up to 90m
• Observation: Up to 36m
• Recognition: Up to 18m
• Identification: Up to 9m

These distances provide a useful reference when planning camera positioning according to the required surveillance objective.

Hybrid Illumination

The DomeCam Mini HL combines infrared and white LED illumination.

Maximum illumination distance:

• White LED: Up to 15m
• IR LED: Up to 15m

Intelligent lighting control automatically adjusts the intensity of the infrared and white LEDs in real time.

As a result, the camera helps prevent overexposure while maintaining visibility of objects at different distances in low-light environments.

Low-Light Performance

Minimum illumination:

• Colour: 0.005 lx
• Black and White: 0 lx

The camera also provides a signal-to-noise ratio of more than 52 dB.

Therefore, it can maintain useful surveillance detail even when ambient lighting levels are very low.

True WDR Image Processing

The camera provides 120 dB True WDR.

True WDR helps balance areas of strong light and shadow within the same scene. Consequently, important image detail can remain clearer around windows, entrances, doors and other environments with significant lighting contrasts.

AI Object Detection

The camera detects motion through software image-frame analysis.

Built-in AI recognises:

• People
• Pets
• Vehicles

Therefore, the system can distinguish relevant objects and support more targeted surveillance events.

Ajax DomeCam Black 8MP Video Transmission

The camera uses JetSparrow, the fast and encrypted peer-to-peer video protocol developed by Ajax Systems.

Supported network protocols include:

• HTTP
• HTTPS
• TCP/IP
• IPv4
• RTSP
• UDP
• DHCP
• DNS

Additionally, the camera conforms with ONVIF Profile S for compatible video system integrations.

Visual Verification Of Ajax Alarms

The DomeCam Mini HL supports visual verification scenarios within Ajax security systems.

For example, installers can configure Ajax detectors to trigger selected cameras when an alarm occurs.

The recorded event is then delivered to the compatible Ajax mobile or desktop monitoring application.

As a result, users can quickly review video associated with a security event without manually searching through unrelated recordings.

Video Storage

The camera supports:

• MicroSD card storage
• Ajax NVR

The DomeCam Mini HL supports microSD cards up to 256GB.

The memory card should be Class V30 or faster for suitable recording performance.

MicroSD card is not included.

Built-In Microphone

The DomeCam Mini HL includes a built-in microphone.

When users enable the corresponding settings, the camera can record audio at the monitored location.

Supported audio codecs include:

• G711-ULAW
• G711-ALAW
• G726
• G722

Privacy And Access Control

Ajax provides configurable privacy controls for video surveillance.

The device owner can manage access rights for:

• Ajax mobile app users
• Installers
• Monitoring company operators through Ajax PRO Desktop

Therefore, the owner controls who can access video streams, event history and device settings.

Security Protection

The DomeCam Mini HL incorporates several technologies to protect data communication and device integrity.

These include:

• mTLS: Encrypted connection for data protection
• Ajax Cloud Authentication
• Secure Boot: Protection against firmware spoofing
• OTA Signature Verification: Secure automatic firmware updates

Together, these technologies provide additional protection for camera communication and operation.

Network Connectivity

The camera connects through a self-adaptive Ethernet interface.

• Port: 1 × RJ-45
• Ethernet: 10/100 Mbps

Supported protocols include:

• HTTP
• HTTPS
• TCP/IP
• IPv4
• RTSP
• UDP
• DHCP
• DNS
• ONVIF Profile S

Power Supply

The camera supports both PoE and external 12V DC power.

PoE

• Standard: IEEE 802.3at/af
• Maximum Power Consumption: Up to 8.2W
