Ajax TurretCam HL 5MP 2.8mm Black

Ajax TurretCam HL 5MP 2.8mm Black

The Ajax TurretCam Black 5MP is a wired AI-powered IP security camera designed for professional indoor and outdoor surveillance. Its 2.8mm fixed lens provides a wide 100°–110° viewing angle, while the 5MP image sensor delivers resolution up to 2880 × 1620 at 25 frames per second.

Additionally, hybrid illumination combines infrared and white light to maintain clear video during changing lighting conditions. The black enclosure also provides a discreet finish for modern residential and commercial installations.

Hybrid Illumination

The TurretCam HL automatically switches between infrared and white light illumination according to motion detection or recognised objects.

Both illumination systems provide a range of up to 50 metres.

Therefore, the camera supports:

• Infrared night monitoring
• White light illumination
• Full-colour nighttime footage
• Improved object recognition in low light
• Visible illumination that may help deter intruders

As a result, users can maintain useful visual detail during both daytime and nighttime conditions.

AI Object Recognition

Built-in AI enables the camera to identify:

• People
• Vehicles
• Pets

Consequently, the system can focus on relevant activity instead of responding only to general movement.

The camera also supports:

• Motion detection
• AI-powered object recognition
• Detector alarms
• Alarm verification
• Automation scenarios
• Siren activation through supported detection scenarios

TrueWDR Image Processing

The camera uses TrueWDR hardware and software image processing to manage scenes with significant differences between bright and dark areas.

Therefore, it can retain more useful image detail around entrances, windows, gates, driveways and other challenging lighting environments.

Ajax TurretCam Black 5MP Video Transmission

Ajax uses proprietary JetSparrow technology for fast and secure peer-to-peer video transmission.

The system supports:

• Instant live viewing
• Fast archive navigation
• Event timeline navigation
• Calendar-based archive browsing
• Search filters
• Dual video streams
• Quick video clip export
• Up to five simultaneous live-view channels

Furthermore, Ajax apps allow remote camera configuration, motion detection zone adjustment and real-time system health monitoring.

Visual Verification Of Ajax Alarms

The TurretCam HL supports high-resolution visual verification of Ajax system alarms through video scenarios.

As a result, users can move directly from an alarm notification to relevant video footage.

Additionally, the camera can synchronise with supported Ajax security modes and automation scenarios for integrated monitoring.

Video Storage

The TurretCam HL supports both local and network-based recording.

Storage options include:

• Ajax NVR
• MicroSD card installed directly in the camera

The camera supports microSD cards up to 256GB.

Importantly, the TurretCam HL can operate without an Ajax NVR when a compatible microSD card is installed.

Security Protection

Ajax incorporates multiple technologies to protect camera access, video transmission and recorded content.

These include:

• Passwordless camera authentication through mutual TLS
• TLS-encrypted video streams
• User-controlled access to video content
• Secure video export with digital signature verification
• Passcode protection
• Supported biometric authentication
• Two-factor authentication
• Session controls
• NDAA-compliant components and protocols

Therefore, the camera combines professional surveillance with multiple layers of account and communication security.

Built-In Microphone

The TurretCam HL includes a built-in digital microphone.

The microphone supports the G.711 audio codec, allowing compatible installations to capture audio together with surveillance footage where appropriate.

Network Connectivity

The camera uses a wired Ethernet connection for video transmission and system communication.

Network specifications include:

• Ethernet: 10/100 Mbps RJ-45
• Bitrate: Up to 100 Mbps full-duplex
• Video Stream: RTSP
• ONVIF: Profile S
• Video Compression: H.265 and H.264
• JetSparrow: Proprietary Ajax video protocol

Additionally, ONVIF and RTSP support provide integration options with compatible third-party NVR and VMS platforms.

Power Supply

The TurretCam HL supports:

• DC Power: 8–14V
• PoE: IEEE 802.3at/af
• Maximum Power Consumption: Up to 8.5W

PoE allows compatible network equipment to provide both power and network connectivity through an Ethernet cable. Therefore, installers can simplify cabling in suitable installations.

DORI Distance

For the 5MP / 2.8mm version:

• Detection: Up to 65m
• Observation: Up to 26m
• Recognition: Up to 13m
• Identification: Up to 6.5m

Therefore, the wide 2.8mm lens is well suited to monitoring broader areas where a wide field of view is more important than long-distance identification.
