AJAX BULLETCAM 5MP 2.8mm Black and White Bullet Camera
The AJAX BULLETCAM 5MP/2.8MM (B&W) is a bullet camera for closed-circuit television (CCTV) surveillance. It belongs to the bullet camera group, a widely used form factor in security installations. Bullet cameras have a long, cylindrical body that houses the lens and sensor, and they are commonly fixed to a wall, ceiling or pole so that they point steadily at the area being watched.
This model combines a 5 megapixel image sensor with a 2.8mm fixed lens and produces black and white images. The fixed focal length means the field of view does not change, so the camera is always set to the same scene once it has been aimed. The choice of black and white is suited to general surveillance where greyscale images are sufficient and the focus is on movement and layout.

- Monitoring building entrances, exits and loading areas
- Covering driveways, car parks and yards
- Perimeter and fence line observation
- Corridors, stairwells and back rooms inside commercial premises
- General monitoring of storage areas and warehouses
Planning the installation
A good camera installation starts with a clear idea of what needs to be seen. Decide whether the camera is meant to give a general overview of an area or to identify people and number plates at a specific point. The 2.8mm lens gives a wide view, so it is well suited to overview coverage. For close detail, a different lens may be needed, and that should be checked separately.
Choose a mounting point that is solid and gives a clear line of sight without obstructions such as branches, signs or reflective surfaces. Angle the camera so that the most important part of the scene is in the centre of the picture. Where lighting varies, avoid pointing the lens straight at strong light sources, which can reduce image quality.
Image quality
The 5 megapixel sensor records more detail than standard resolution cameras, which helps when footage needs to be reviewed later. Black and white images are useful in areas where colour is not essential and where greyscale gives a clean, consistent picture. Higher resolution also gives more room to crop or zoom into recorded footage, although the quality of the original image remains the main factor.
Integration and maintenance
The camera is intended to be used within a CCTV system with a recorder, monitor or network video software. Confirm that the connection type and power supply match your recording equipment before installation. Keep the lens clean, check the mounting bracket periodically and make sure the cable connections remain secure, as these simple steps help keep the picture clear and reliable over time.
Choosing this camera gives a straightforward, detailed black and white image in a compact housing, suitable for a wide range of general surveillance tasks.
