Ajax BulletCam HL (8 Mp/2.8 mm) - PoE Bullet IP Camera
BulletCam HL (8 Mp/2.8 mm) is a wired 8 MP (4K) bullet camera with two kinds of night lighting: infrared and white LEDs, each reaching up to 50 m. The extra resolution helps when you need to zoom into a recording to read detail. It runs on PoE from one network cable or on a 12 V supply, sits in the Ajax apps alongside an Ajax alarm, and its AI detection picks out people, vehicles and pets and can watch for line crossing. The housing is rated IP66 and IK08 for outdoor use. Choose black or white above.

Common questions
What does the HL version add?
HL models have white LEDs as well as infrared. With the white light on, the scene is lit so the camera can show it in colour; with infrared only, night pictures are black and white. Both reach up to 50 m on this camera.
Is it 4K?
Yes. Its top resolution is 3840 × 2160 (8 MP), at up to 20 frames per second.
How close does someone need to be to be identified?
Ajax gives identification at up to 9 m and recognition at up to 18 m with this lens, and detection at up to 90 m.
Where does it store recordings?
On a microSD card in the camera (bought separately) or on an Ajax NVR.
Can my Ajax alarm detectors start a recording?
Yes. A scenario can make chosen Ajax detectors trigger chosen cameras, and the recorded event goes straight to the Ajax mobile or desktop app.
