Ajax DomeCam Mini | 5MP AI PoE Camera (2.8mm) | TrueWDR, Mic, IP65

FAQs

What is the maximum resolution of DomeCam Mini (5 Mp/2.8 mm)?

DomeCam Mini (5 Mp/2.8 mm) supports a maximum resolution of 2880 × 1620 pixels at 25 frames per second, delivering 3K UHD image quality.

What is the viewing angle of the 2.8mm lens?

The 2.8mm lens provides a wide viewing angle of 100°–110°, making it ideal for monitoring large indoor spaces, reception areas, retail environments and building entrances.

How does the smart infrared illumination work?

DomeCam Mini features intelligent IR illumination that automatically adjusts intensity in real time to prevent overexposure. This ensures clear visibility of objects at varying distances up to 15 meters, even in complete darkness, without washing out nearby objects or losing detail on distant subjects.

Can the camera distinguish between different types of movement?

Yes, DomeCam Mini uses AI-powered object recognition to identify and distinguish between humans, pets and vehicles. This significantly reduces false alarms and ensures you’re only notified about relevant activity, whilst optimising storage by recording only meaningful events.

What storage options are available?

The camera can record to a local microSD card (32GB to 256GB, not included) or an Ajax NVR connected to the same network. The microSD card should be V30 speed class or faster for optimal performance.

Does DomeCam Mini support Power over Ethernet?

Yes, the camera supports PoE standard 802.3at/af, allowing both power and data to be transmitted over a single Ethernet cable. Alternatively, it can be powered by a 12V DC external power supply with at least 1A current.

What is the maximum power consumption?

DomeCam Mini consumes up to 15W during operation, making it energy efficient for continuous surveillance applications.

Can I integrate DomeCam Mini with third-party video management systems?

Yes, the camera supports ONVIF Profile S (from firmware version 2.356 onwards), enabling integration with third-party VMS platforms such as Milestone, Genetec, Axxon and Digifort. RTSP streaming is also supported.

Is the camera weatherproof?

Yes, DomeCam Mini has an IP65 weatherproof rating and features a robust metal enclosure that protects against dust, water ingress and vandalism, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installation.

What is the operating temperature range?

The camera operates reliably in temperatures ranging from −30°C to +60°C (−22°F to +140°F) with humidity up to 95%, making it suitable for deployment in diverse environmental conditions.

How do I add DomeCam Mini to my Ajax system?

You can add the camera as a standalone device by scanning the QR code on the camera enclosure using the Ajax app, or connect it to an Ajax NVR which will automatically detect cameras on the same local network.

Can I set up privacy zones?

Yes, you can create up to 4 privacy zones to mask sensitive areas within the camera’s field of view. These zones will appear as black rectangles and no motion or objects will be detected or recorded within them.

Does the camera have audio recording capabilities?

Yes, DomeCam Mini features a built-in digital microphone (G.711 codec, µLAW or aLAW) with adjustable gain, allowing you to record audio alongside video footage.

What video codecs does the camera support?

The camera supports both H.264 and H.265 video compression codecs, with options for variable bitrate (VBR) or constant bitrate (CBR) to optimise storage and bandwidth usage.

Can I configure different recording schedules?

Yes, you can set the camera to record continuously, only when motion or objects are detected, or according to the armed status of your Ajax system. Recording preferences can be configured separately for each storage location.

How do video scenarios work?

Video scenarios allow you to link DomeCam Mini with Ajax security detectors. When a detector is triggered, the system automatically sends a short video clip from the camera to your Ajax app for instant alarm verification.

What is True WDR and why is it important?

True WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) is a hardware and software feature that enhances image quality in scenes with challenging lighting conditions, such as areas with both very bright and very dark regions. This ensures clear visibility of details that might otherwise be lost due to overexposure or underexposure.

How secure is the camera?

DomeCam Mini employs multiple security layers including passwordless authentication via mutual TLS handshake, TLS-encrypted video streams, secure video export with digital signature verification, and multi-tiered account protection using passcodes, biometrics and two-factor authentication. The camera also features owner-only access to recorded media and real-time privacy control via the apps.

Can I access the camera remotely?

Yes, you can view live footage, access recorded video and configure camera settings remotely using Ajax mobile apps (iOS/Android) or Ajax PRO Desktop application, provided you have appropriate access permissions.

What is the maximum microSD card capacity supported?

DomeCam Mini supports microSD cards from 32GB to 256GB. The card must be V30 speed class or faster and should be formatted using the camera settings after installation.

Does the camera have tamper detection?

Yes, DomeCam Mini includes a built-in accelerometer that can detect impacts or dismantling attempts, providing an additional layer of security by alerting you to potential tampering.

How compact is the camera?

DomeCam Mini features a compact dome design measuring just 113 × 60 mm and weighing 360g, making it ideal for discreet installation in locations where a low-profile camera is preferred.
