Ajax HL 8-4 Dome (W) - 8MP 4mm 15m IR IP65 Dome Camera

Ajax DOME HL 8-4 (W) 8MP 4mm 15m IR IP65 Dome Camera

Optics and image sensor

This camera is equipped with a 4mm fixed lens combined with a 1/2.7" CMOS sensor, providing a balance between stage width and level of detail. The native resolution of 8 MP allows for the capture of highly defined images, suitable for the precise identification of people and objects. The 85° horizontal, 44° vertical, and 105° diagonal field of view provides extensive coverage, limiting the number of cameras needed to monitor a given area. The 0° or 180° image rotation function makes it easy to set up in different orientations without compromising the readability of the scene.

Video performance and image processing

The camera delivers a frame rate of up to 20 fps, enough for smooth motion analysis in standard surveillance scenarios. Video streams are encoded in H.265 and H.264 formats, which optimizes the use of bandwidth and storage space while preserving image quality. True WDR technology improves visibility in high-dynamic scenes, automatically balancing high-light areas and shadows to maintain actionable detail in all lighting conditions.

Night Vision & Lighting

For 24/7 surveillance, the camera incorporates a dual lighting system with white LEDs and infrared LEDs, each with a range of up to 15 m. IR LEDs allow discreet observation in complete darkness, while white LEDs can be used for color in low light conditions or for a deterrent effect. This combination ensures reliable recognition of scene elements, day or night, without the need for additional light sources in most environments.

Data Storage and Management

The camera has a microSD card slot supporting capacities up to 256GB, allowing for secure local recording of video and audio streams. This feature is particularly suitable for configurations where redundancy is required or where the network connection is not completely reliable. The H.265 and H.264 video compression formats reduce the size of recordings, extending the time spent archiving on the microSD card of equivalent capacity and making it easier to manage histories.

Built-in audio and analytics features

A built-in digital microphone enables the capture of ambient sound, enriching video recordings with audio context useful for event analysis. The device incorporates intelligent video analytics features including motion detection and AI object detection. These algorithms help generate accurate alerts and reduce the number of false alarms by more effectively distinguishing relevant objects from background movements or environmental disturbances.

Network Connectivity and Interface

The network connection is provided by a 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 Ethernet port, ensuring stable transmission of video stream and control data. Compatibility with PoE power according to the 802.3at/af standard simplifies installation by allowing both data and power to be transported over a single Ethernet cable. This approach reduces the wiring required, minimizes infrastructure costs, and provides a high degree of flexibility in camera positioning.

Power and energy consumption

The camera can be powered either via PoE or an external 12V DC power supply. In PoE, the maximum power consumption is 8.2 W, which makes it compatible with the majority of standard PoE switches and injectors that comply with 802.3at/af standards. In 12 V direct power supply ± 20% with a current of 1 A, the maximum power consumption is 7 W. These values allow for precise sizing of power and network equipment, and ensure controlled power consumption in multi-camera installations.

Safety, protection and robustness

The camera boasts IP65 environmental protection, making it resistant to dust and water jets, allowing for outdoor installation in varied weather conditions. For logical security, it incorporates advanced anti-tamper protection mechanisms such as mTLS, authentication via Ajax Cloud, Secure Boot, and OTA signature verification. These devices ensure firmware integrity, protect against unauthorized access, and ensure that over-the-air updates come from authenticated sources.

Conditions of use and physical characteristics

The device is designed to operate in a temperature range of -30°C to 60°C, making it suitable for outdoor environments subject to significant climatic variations. Its compact dimensions of 11.4 cm x 11.4 cm x 6.7 cm make it easy to integrate onto different mounting brackets while remaining unobtrusive. Weighing in at 430g, the camera is lightweight enough to be installed on most structures without special reinforcement, while still offering a rugged design suitable for heavy-duty use.
