A 4MP turret with a motorised 3.2 to 9.8 mm lens, which covers 116 degrees wide down to 34 degrees telephoto. That range means one part number suits a wide lobby, a car park approach and a long fence line, and the framing is set remotely rather than by going back up a ladder with a screwdriver.

Built for the commercial installer

Remote varifocal control covers focal length, manual focus and autofocus from the software. On a multi-camera job that is the difference between commissioning from a laptop and commissioning from a ladder, and it means a scene that changes later, a new fence or a re-laid car park, gets re-framed without a site visit.

P-iris rather than a fixed iris gives better depth of field and control over exposure than a simple auto iris, which shows in scenes that mix bright and shaded areas. Infrared reaches about 95 feet. It runs on PoE or 12V DC, so it fits both new network installs and positions that already have local power. IP66 rated, and the turret form factor avoids the IR reflection off the dome bubble that plagues some domes.

Key features

  • 3.2 to 9.8 mm motorised varifocal, so one part number covers wide and long scenes
  • Remote focal length and focus control, commissioned and re-framed without a ladder
  • P-iris for better depth of field and exposure control in mixed lighting
  • PoE or 12V DC, fitting both new network installs and positions with existing power
  • Turret housing avoids dome-bubble IR reflection that softens night images
  • Onboard microSD or Commercial SVR recording for local retention

System requirements

Requires PoE (802.3af) or 12V DC and an Alarm.com account with a compatible video plan. Local recording to onboard microSD or a Commercial SVR. Camera, mounting hardware, Torx wrench and water-resistant cap are included.

FAQs

Can the lens be adjusted without going back to the camera?
Yes. Remote varifocal control covers focal length, manual focus and autofocus from the software, so commissioning and later re-framing do not need a ladder.
What does P-iris give over a standard auto iris?
Better depth of field and finer exposure control, which shows in scenes mixing bright and shaded areas such as a doorway facing a car park.
Can it run on 12V DC instead of PoE?
Yes. It accepts PoE (802.3af) or 12V DC plus or minus 10 percent, so it fits positions that already have local power.
Why a turret rather than a dome?
A turret has no dome bubble in front of the lens, which removes the internal IR reflection that can soften night images on dome cameras.
