AJAX #126260 TurretCam HL 5MP 2.8mm Black | Hybrid Illumination AI IP Camera
The AJAX TurretCam HL 5MP 2.8mm Black is the upgraded hybrid illumination model of the Ajax TurretCam family — not a recolour of the base model. It features both IR and white light LEDs up to 50 metres, with hybrid illumination automatically switching between infrared and white light based on object recognition or motion detection, enabling colour video at night when required. Powered by a 5MP CMOS sensor with 2880 × 1620 resolution, a 2.8mm f/1.6 lens, 120 dB True WDR, AI object recognition, H.265 compression, and IP65/IK08 protection for indoor and outdoor use.

TurretCam HL
Hybrid IR + White Light 50m
Both IR and white LEDs reach up to 50 metres with intelligent real-time intensity control. Switches automatically based on scene conditions for full-colour night footage when it matters.
5MP · 120 dB True WDR
2880 × 1620 px at 25 FPS with 120 dB dynamic range — one of the highest WDR ratings in the Ajax camera range for challenging lighting environments.
AI Object Recognition
Detects and classifies people, vehicles, and pets — filtering irrelevant motion events and enabling smarter recording and alerts through the Ajax ecosystem.
IP65 + IK08 Protection
IP65 dust and water jet protection plus IK08 impact resistance (5 joules) — built for demanding outdoor and high-traffic indoor environments.
This is NOT the same as AJAX #64924. The TurretCam HL (126260) is the newer, upgraded model featuring hybrid illumination (IR + white light to 50m), a wider operating temperature range (−30°C to +60°C), IK08 impact resistance, and higher 120 dB WDR. The standard TurretCam (64924) uses IR-only illumination to 35m. Choose the HL if you need full-colour night footage or a more demanding installation environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
The TurretCam HL (126260) is a newer, upgraded model — not just a recolour. Key differences: the HL has hybrid illumination (IR + white light up to 50m each) vs IR-only up to 35m on the standard model; the HL operates from −30°C to +60°C vs −25°C to +40°C; and the HL adds IK08 impact resistance and a wider 120 dB True WDR rating. Choose the HL for full-colour night footage capability or more demanding environments.
The camera contains both IR LEDs (invisible infrared light) and white LEDs (visible white light). Hybrid illumination automatically switches between infrared and white light based on object recognition or motion detection, enabling colour video at night when required. The system automatically adjusts the intensity of both IR and white LEDs in real time to prevent overexposure — ensuring clear visibility of objects at varying distances in low-light conditions.
Not with PoE. A single Cat5e/Cat6 cable from an 802.3af/at PoE switch provides both power (up to 7.2W max) and data. Alternatively, 12V DC (±20%, 1A) can be used with a maximum consumption of 6.3W. PoE is the recommended installation method.
Yes. The white version is AJAX #126261 TurretCam HL 5MP 2.8mm White — identical specifications in a white enclosure.
The camera supports microSD cards up to 256 GB, Class V30 or faster. The card is not included. For multi-camera centralised recording, an Ajax NVR is the recommended solution.
Yes. Professional installation ensures optimal camera placement for the required DORI distances, correct PoE cabling, NVR configuration, and Ajax ecosystem integration. Sipko Security provides complete supply, installation, and commissioning across Melbourne.
