§ 04Why choose this
Built for the way you actually use it
30m IR Night Vision
Built-in IR LEDs for clear black-and-white footage in complete darkness. Smart IR adjusts intensity so close-up faces don't get washed out.
Alarm & Audio I/O (AS suffix)
Terminal block for external alarm sensor input/output and audio in/out. Wire up a door contact, external speaker, or panic button.
SMD 4.0 AI Detection
Classifies people and vehicles accurately. Cuts false alarms from animals, rain, and leaves — you only get alerts that matter.
Bullet Form Factor for Perimeter Use
Visible deterrent. The bullet shape tells people the area is monitored. IP67 sealed for outdoor walls and fence posts.
§ 05Where it fits
Right at home in these scenarios
Long Driveway or Fence Line
Bullet mounts on a wall or post pointing along the fence. 30m IR covers the full length. Starlight gives colour detail at dusk without needing a floodlight.
Loading Dock or Warehouse Exterior
Alarm I/O connects to a roller door sensor — auto-records when the dock opens. 8MP captures truck rego plates clearly.
Side of House or Carport
Compact bullet fits under eaves. 2.8mm lens covers a wide carport area. Smart IR avoids overexposing car paint at close range.
Small Business Back Entry
Visible bullet deters opportunistic break-ins. Audio input can connect to an intercom speaker at the door.
