Ajax DomeCam Mini (5 Mp/2.8 mm)

More info

Why you would want it

Choose this camera when you want visual evidence and smarter alerts rather than relying only on an alarm detector. Ajax object recognition can help distinguish people, vehicles and pets, so the event is easier to judge.

Where it makes sense

The 2.8 mm lens gives a wider view, useful for driveways, gardens, entrances and general area coverage. The 5 MP sensor determines the available image detail; higher resolution is useful when faces, clothing or vehicle detail matter.

What it actually does

Records 5MP video and uses Ajax intelligent detection to help recognise relevant objects such as people, vehicles and pets. Night illumination keeps the camera useful after dark, and recordings can be viewed through the Ajax ecosystem.

Why choose this model

Fewer pointless alerts; clearer evidence when something happens; useful detail on people and vehicles; night-time coverage; works alongside the rest of the Ajax system.

When a cheaper option is enough

No obvious cheaper sibling identified from the current Ajax catalogue.

When to upgrade

Installation

Important limitations

This is a wired camera. Positioning, network connection, power and recording method need to be considered as part of the installation.
