5 Megapixel Full Colour POE Network Camera 2592×1944 30m Warm Light 360° Pan

This 5-megapixel POE network camera offers full-colour surveillance with a built-in warm light illuminator that reaches up to 30 metres, allowing you to see subjects in colour even in near-darkness. The 1/2.7” progressive CMOS sensor captures detailed footage at a maximum resolution of 2592 × 1944, and the camera supports H.265 compression with smart codec for efficient storage. With a 120 dB wide dynamic range and scene self-adaptation, it handles backlit and high-contrast scenes effectively. The pan-tilt-rotation design gives 360° horizontal coverage, making it suitable for indoor or covered outdoor security applications where full area monitoring is needed.

Features and Construction

Built around a 1/2.7” progressive CMOS sensor, this camera delivers up to 5-megapixel resolution with 2560 × 1440 at 30 fps. The on-board warm light illuminator automatically activates in low light, providing up to 30 metres of visible illumination for colour imaging. The camera supports multiple compression formats including H.265, H.264, and MJPEG, with Smart H.265+/Smart H.264+ to reduce bitrate without sacrificing quality.

Image Sensor and Resolution

The 1/2.7” 5-megapixel progressive CMOS sensor offers a maximum resolution of 2592 × 1944 at up to 20 fps on the main stream. Lower resolutions including 4M (2688 × 1520), 1080p, and 720p are also supported, giving flexibility to match bandwidth and storage requirements.

Warm Light Illuminator

A single warm light LED provides up to 30 metres of illumination distance, controlled automatically or manually. Unlike standard infrared, this warm light produces colour video at night, making it easier to identify people, vehicles, and objects in darkness.

Pan, Tilt, and Rotation Range

The camera offers pan adjustment from 0° to 360°, tilt from 0° to 78°, and rotation from 0° to 360°, allowing precise positioning to cover larger areas or focus on specific zones. This full range of movement simplifies installation and field-of-view optimisation.

Video and Compression Capabilities

This camera supports multiple video compression standards including H.265, H.264, H.264H, H.264B, and MJPEG (sub stream only). Smart codec technology such as Smart H.265+ adapts compression dynamically, reducing file sizes while maintaining image quality. Three independent streams allow simultaneous viewing and recording at different resolutions.

Streaming and Resolution

Three streams are supported: main stream up to 2592 × 1944 at 20 fps, sub stream at 704 × 576 (PAL) or 704 × 480 (NTSC), and third stream up to 1920 × 1080 at 30 fps. Bitrate control uses CBR or VBR modes ranging from 12 kbps to 8192 kbps depending on codec.

Wide Dynamic Range and Scene Adaptation

With 120 dB WDR, the camera balances bright and dark areas in the same scene, reducing overexposure and shadow loss. Scene Self-adaptation (SSA) automatically adjusts image parameters to suit changing lighting conditions, improving consistency throughout the day.

Day/Night and Image Adjustment

The camera automatically switches between colour and black-and-white modes based on ambient light, with electronic shutter speed ranging from 1/3 s to 1/100,000 s. Minimum illumination is 0.003 Lux @ F1.0, enabling capture in very dim conditions.

Benefits and Buying Value

This camera is designed for security and surveillance applications that require full-colour video day and night. The warm light illumination eliminates the need for separate external lighting, while the 360° pan range covers wide areas with a single unit. The combination of 5-megapixel resolution, 120 dB WDR, and smart codecs delivers clear, storage-efficient footage suitable for both residential and commercial settings.

Low-Light Performance

The warm light illuminator provides colour imaging up to 30 metres, reducing the need for visible light fixtures and improving identification in low-light conditions. The 0.003 Lux minimum illumination ensures the sensor can still capture usable images even when the illuminator is off.

Storage and Bandwidth Efficiency

H.265 compression with Smart H.265+ significantly reduces file sizes compared to H.264, extending recording time on NVRs and reducing bandwidth usage on the network. Multiple stream profiles allow separate settings for live view and recording.

Why Choose This Product

With full-colour night vision, 5-megapixel resolution, and full 360° pan capability, this camera offers a practical all-in-one solution for users who need detailed identification in darkness. The 120 dB WDR and SSA ensure reliable performance in varied lighting, while smart compression keeps storage costs manageable.
