Ajax BulletCam HL 5MP Hybrid Light CCTV Camera 2.8mm – White (AJA-126253)

Description

Ajax BulletCam HL 5MP Hybrid Light CCTV Camera 2.8mm – White is a wired 5MP Ajax bullet CCTV camera that adds hybrid IR and white-light illumination to the standard fixed-lens Ajax camera platform.

In normal low-light operation the camera can use infrared illumination for discreet black-and-white monitoring. When colour information is useful, white light can be introduced to reveal details such as clothing or vehicle colour. Ajax describes the HL range as hybrid-light cameras specifically designed to improve image usefulness at night.

True WDR helps when bright and dark areas appear in the same scene, while built-in AI distinguishes people, animals and vehicles. The microphone provides recorded audio, and the fixed lens keeps installation simpler than the HLVF varifocal range when the correct field of view can be established in advance.

The camera is connected by Ethernet and supports PoE or 12 V DC power. Recorded footage can be stored on a compatible microSD card or centrally on an Ajax NVR, with live viewing and archive access through Ajax apps. This combination makes the HL range well suited to entrances, driveways, shop fronts and other indoor or outdoor areas where night-time colour detail can improve event review.

Choosing the right Ajax model

The 5MP version is a balanced option for general CCTV coverage. It provides substantially more image detail than 1080p without the same recording and network demand as the equivalent 8MP model at comparable settings, which can make it a sensible choice for multi-camera installations where storage efficiency also matters.

The key reason to choose HL over the standard Ajax fixed-lens camera is night-time flexibility. HL means Hybrid Light: the camera can use infrared for discreet low-light monitoring and switch to white LED illumination when colour detail is useful. This makes the range particularly relevant around entrances, driveways, shop fronts and other areas where identifying clothing, vehicles or other colour information can improve event review.
