Ajax TurretCam HL 8MP 4mm White

Ajax TurretCam HL 8MP 4mm White

The Ajax TurretCam White is a wired 8MP AI-powered IP security camera designed for professional indoor and outdoor video surveillance. Its 4mm fixed lens provides a focused 75°–85° viewing angle, while the 8MP image sensor delivers video resolution up to 3840 × 2160 at 20 frames per second.

Additionally, hybrid illumination combines infrared and white light to maintain clear footage during changing light conditions. The white enclosure also provides a clean installation option for light-coloured ceilings, walls 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 a range of up to 50 metres.

Therefore, the camera supports:

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

As a result, users can maintain detailed surveillance throughout both daytime and nighttime conditions.

AI Object Recognition

Built-in AI enables the camera to recognise:

• People
• Vehicles
• Pets

Consequently, the system can focus on relevant objects rather than 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 containing strong differences between bright and dark areas.

Therefore, it can retain more useful image detail around entrances, gates, windows, driveways and other environments where lighting conditions may vary significantly.

Ajax TurretCam White Video Transmission

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

The camera 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 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 security system modes and supported automation scenarios for integrated security management.

Video Storage

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

Video 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 several technologies to protect camera access, video transmission and recorded footage.

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 uses 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 deliver both power and network connectivity through an Ethernet cable. Therefore, installers can simplify cabling in suitable installations.
