Image quality
An 8MP sensor records considerably more detail than standard-definition cameras. This helps when recorded footage needs to be reviewed later, for example to identify a person, a vehicle or a licence plate at a reasonable distance. The 2.8mm lens offers a relatively wide angle of view, which is useful for covering an entrance, a corridor or an open area with a single camera.
The black and white output is well suited to scenes where colour is not essential. Monochrome images are often used where light levels are low, as the camera can concentrate on contrast and shape rather than colour. Always check the manufacturer documentation for the exact low-light performance and any night-time features.
Typical uses
- Monitoring building entrances, car parks and yards
- Covering corridors, stairwells and storage areas
- Adding a camera to an existing CCTV recorder system
- General perimeter and internal surveillance
Installation considerations
Before installing, confirm that the camera is compatible with your recorder, monitoring software or network setup. Choose a mounting position that gives a clear view of the target area and avoids direct glare from lights or sunlight. Plan the cable route and power supply in advance, and check whether a separate power adapter is required.
Position the camera at a suitable height and angle to capture faces and details where needed. Keep the lens clean and check the field of view once fitted, adjusting the angle as required.
Who it is for
This camera suits installers, businesses and homeowners who want a compact, monochrome surveillance camera with 8MP resolution from the AJAX range. It can be used on its own or as one camera within a larger multi-camera system.
