Ajax TurretCam HL (5 Mp/2.8 mm) White Wired AI PoE Security IP Camera

The Ajax TurretCam HL (5 Mp/2.8 mm) is a wired IP security camera designed for professional video surveillance as part of an Ajax video monitoring system. It captures detailed 2880 × 1620 footage through a 2.8 mm wide-angle lens and uses hybrid illumination to deliver full-colour images day and night, automatically switching between infrared and white light based on object recognition and motion.

With built-in AI object recognition, True WDR, a microphone and Power over Ethernet, the TurretCam HL combines advanced imaging with simple single-cable installation, integrating directly with Ajax NVR and the Ajax app for recording, live view and alarm verification.

Sharp 5 MP Imaging

A 1/2.8" CMOS sensor captures video at up to 2880 × 1620 resolution at up to 25 fps, delivering crisp, detailed footage. A wide 110° field of view from the 2.8 mm lens covers large areas from a single camera, while True WDR (120 dB) balances exposure in scenes with both bright and dark areas.

Hybrid Illumination Night Vision

Hybrid illumination automatically switches between infrared and white light based on AI object recognition and motion detection. In darkness it can deliver full-colour footage up to 50 metres, helping identify critical details such as clothing or vehicle colour that traditional black-and-white IR cannot capture. Intelligent lighting control adjusts LED intensity in real time to prevent overexposure.

AI Object Recognition

On-board artificial intelligence accurately detects and classifies people, vehicles and pets, delivering intelligent alerts and reducing false alarms from irrelevant motion such as shadows or foliage.

Built-In Microphone and Local Storage

An integrated microphone records audio alongside video for fuller situational awareness. Footage can be recorded locally to a microSD card up to 256 GB (Class V30 or faster), in addition to central recording on Ajax NVR.

Simple PoE Installation

The camera is powered and networked over a single Ethernet cable using Power over Ethernet (802.3af/at), drawing up to 7.2 W, and can alternatively be powered by 12 V DC. This simplifies installation and reduces cabling for both new and retrofit systems.

Weatherproof Vandal-Resistant Design

Rated IP65 against dust and water and IK08 against impact, the TurretCam HL withstands harsh outdoor conditions and tampering, operating reliably from −30°C to +60°C.

Seamless Ajax Integration

The camera integrates with Ajax NVR and the Ajax app using the encrypted JetSparrow video protocol, providing live view, recording and playback from the same app as the rest of the Ajax system. Ajax detectors can trigger selected cameras to start recording for visual alarm verification. ONVIF support allows integration with third-party recorders.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)

What is the Ajax TurretCam HL (5 Mp/2.8 mm) used for?

It is a wired AI-powered PoE security IP camera for professional video surveillance. It captures 2880 × 1620 footage with a wide 110° field of view, provides full-colour night vision up to 50 m via hybrid illumination, and integrates with Ajax NVR and the Ajax app.

Is this a wireless camera?

No. The TurretCam HL is a wired IP camera. It connects and is powered over a single Ethernet cable using PoE (802.3af/at), or can be powered by 12 V DC. Unlike Ajax Jeweller detectors, it does not connect wirelessly to an Ajax hub.

What does HL (hybrid illumination) mean?

Hybrid illumination automatically switches between infrared and white light based on AI object recognition and motion. This allows the camera to deliver full-colour footage in darkness up to 50 m, capturing details such as clothing and vehicle colour that plain IR cannot.

What can the AI detect?

The built-in AI accurately recognises people, vehicles and pets, sending intelligent alerts and reducing false alarms from irrelevant motion.

How is footage recorded?

Video can be recorded centrally on Ajax NVR and locally to a microSD card up to 256 GB (Class V30 or faster). It is viewed live and played back through the Ajax app.

Is it suitable for outdoor use?

Yes. It is rated IP65 against dust and water and IK08 against impact, and operates from −30°C to +60°C, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installation.

Does it work with third-party recorders?

Yes. In addition to Ajax NVR, it supports ONVIF Profile S/T for compatibility with third-party network video recorders.
