Frequently Asked Questions
The 5MP TurretCam (SKU 64923/64924) records at 2880 × 1620 px (3K), while the 8MP TurretCam (SKU 64927/64928) records at 3840 × 2160 px (4K/8MP). Both feature AI recognition, IR illumination, and IP65 protection. Choose 5MP for cost-effective high-resolution coverage; choose 8MP where maximum detail and digital zoom capability are required.
Yes. The TurretCam 5MP 2.8mm Black is IP65-rated, meaning it is fully protected against dust and water jets from any direction. It is designed for both indoor and outdoor installation and operates across a temperature range of −25°C to +40°C, making it suitable for Melbourne’s climate.
No separate power supply is needed if you use PoE (Power over Ethernet, 802.3at). A single Ethernet cable carries both data and power to the camera. Alternatively, 12V DC can be used if a PoE switch is not available. PoE is generally the preferred installation method as it simplifies cabling.
The built-in AI analyses video frames to identify and classify objects as people, vehicles, or pets. This allows the Ajax system to generate more relevant alerts, filter out movement caused by environmental factors, and selectively record events based on what was actually detected.
JetSparrow is Ajax Systems’ proprietary peer-to-peer video transmission technology. It enables fast, direct video streaming between the camera and Ajax applications without routing all video through a cloud server, reducing latency and improving live view performance.
Video can be stored locally on a microSD card inserted directly into the camera, or through an Ajax NVR connected to the same network. Using an Ajax NVR provides centralised storage for multiple cameras and enables structured recording schedules and event-based recording.
The TurretCam 5MP 2.8mm is compatible with Ajax Hub, Hub Plus, Hub 2, Hub 2 Plus, Hub 2 (4G), Hub Hybrid, and Ajax NVR.
The Black (SKU 64924) and White (SKU 64923) versions of the TurretCam 5MP 2.8mm are identical in hardware and specifications. The only difference is the enclosure colour. Choose black for installations where a darker camera finish blends better with the mounting surface or environment.
Yes. Professional installation ensures correct cable routing, optimal camera positioning and angle, proper PoE switch configuration, NVR setup, and full Ajax system integration. Sipko Security provides complete supply, installation, and commissioning for Melbourne customers.
