Ajax TurretCam HL 8MP 2.8mm White

Ajax TurretCam HL 8MP 2.8mm White

The Ajax TurretCam White is a wired 8MP 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 8MP sensor delivers video resolution up to 3840 × 2160 at 20 frames per second.

Additionally, hybrid illumination combines infrared and white light to maintain clear video during both daytime and nighttime conditions. The white enclosure also provides a clean installation option for light-coloured walls, ceilings and exterior surfaces.

Hybrid Illumination

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

Both illumination systems provide coverage up to 50 metres.

The camera therefore 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, installers can maintain detailed surveillance across changing lighting conditions.

AI Object Recognition

Built-in AI allows the camera to recognise:

• People
• Vehicles
• Pets

Therefore, the system can focus on relevant activity instead of relying only on general movement detection.

The camera also supports:

• Motion detection
• AI-powered 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 strong differences between bright and dark areas.

Consequently, the camera can retain useful detail in challenging environments such as entrances, gates, windows and exterior areas.

Ajax TurretCam White 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 and real-time system health monitoring.

Visual Verification Of Ajax Alarms

The TurretCam HL can provide high-resolution visual verification when Ajax alarms occur.

As a result, users can move directly from an alarm notification to relevant camera footage within the Ajax ecosystem.

In addition, the camera can synchronise with security system modes and automation scenarios for more integrated surveillance control.

Video Storage

The TurretCam HL supports both local and network-based video storage.

Storage options include:

• Ajax NVR
• MicroSD card installed directly in the camera

The camera supports microSD cards up to 256GB.

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

Security Protection

Ajax integrates multiple security technologies to protect video transmission and user access.

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 video surveillance with Ajax account and system security measures.

Built-In Microphone

The camera includes a built-in digital microphone.

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

Network Connectivity

The TurretCam HL uses a wired Ethernet connection.

Network specifications include:

• Ethernet: 10/100 Mbps RJ-45
• Bitrate: Up to 100 Mbps full-duplex
• Video Streaming: RTSP

• JetSparrow: Proprietary Ajax video protocol

Additionally, ONVIF and RTSP support allow integration with compatible third-party video systems.

Power Supply

The camera supports:

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

PoE allows compatible network infrastructure to carry both network data and power through the Ethernet connection. Therefore, installers can simplify cabling in suitable installations.
