BulletCam HL 5MP Black Hybrid Lighting IP Camera

AI-powered surveillance with hybrid lighting for bright colors

BulletCam HL offers top-class accurate motion detection and intelligent AI-based object recognition. The camera offers high-quality image quality, supports real-time viewing, and its hybrid lighting raises the bar: a combination of IR and white light for clear images even in the dark. BulletCam HL can be integrated within an Ajax ecosystem with devices for intrusion protection, fire detection and automation so that the system can provide complete security and comfort, and which is fully controllable from a single app. Recordings are instantly accessible via mobile or desktop apps or a local VMS; the end user maintains complete control.

Bright colors, even in the dark

The hybrid lighting in BulletCam HL cameras automatically switches between infrared and white light based on object recognition or motion detection. This ensures high image quality even in low light and at night. The feature provides colorful images that help identify clothing, vehicles or other critical details. The sudden white light can also act as a deterrent, letting burglars know they have been detected.

Customized lens for every scene

Choose from a variety of lenses to meet your installation needs. Use wide-angle lenses for open areas such as the perimeter of a building or choose a narrower viewing angle for hallways and compact spaces. Higher resolution provides better coverage and detail over large areas, while lower resolution is ideal for confined spaces where extreme detail is not a priority.

An AI-powered camera

Ajax cameras offer AI-powered object recognition for efficient event recording and storage. Users can configure recording based on their needs. A camera can record continuously, or when triggered by motion or the built-in AI. The settings help capture critical events, such as a vehicle pulling into a parking lot or a person entering a restricted area. This helps avoid unnecessary shots and makes reviewing these shots easier. AI processing takes place directly on the camera, eliminating the need for additional equipment or subscriptions. Users and security personnel can easily monitor areas via a smartphone and receive instant notifications when motion is detected; no specialized security training is required.

Accurate video recording with built-in motion detection

Optimize your video archive with intelligent motion detection. Configure motion capture within specific zones at the pixel level so that only relevant activity is recorded when movement occurs in the selected area. Strict event filtering saves storage space and makes navigating the archive much smoother.

Sirens activate upon detection

When the AI in video devices detects motion or a specific object, the system can automatically activate the sirens added to the hub so that an alarm can be heard. Users can enable the feature separately for each video device and configure per camera which specific events trigger the sirens.
