A reliable security camera

How does it work?

IP cameras like this one connect to an NVR (network video recorder) via Ethernet cables. Known as PoE (Power over Ethernet), this type of connection carries power to the camera as well as passing video signals back to the recorder. PoE camera systems are ideal for installations where longer cable runs are required.

Easily adjust zoom and focus

There's no need to physically adjust the lens after installation, because the camera has built-in motorized autofocus. Plus you can control the 5X optical zoom from the web interface, NVR, or free Spyclops mobile app.

Great imaging — day or night

A manually adjustable sunshade above the camera's face helps you keep the lens out of direct sunlight. Wide Dynamic Range means you'll be able to see details, even in tricky, high-contrast lighting situations. The camera can also pick up what's going on at night up to 130 feet away, thanks to auto-activated infrared LED sensors.

Features

Overview: The SPY-BLTG3IP4AF is a weather-resistant, 5x zoom, auto focus IP bullet camera for use in a closed-circuit video surveillance system. It has built-in IR LEDs to give the camera "night vision" for added security for your home or business. The camera is white in color.

Video Signal: The camera has a 4-megapixel CMOS image sensor with a high definition video output with HiSilicon DSP and Wide Dynamic Range. The camera's main stream is 4 MP at 20 fps or 3 MP/1080P at 30 fps. The video signal is carried via an Ethernet cable (not included).

Power: The camera is powered by POE (Power over Ethernet), when used with a POE-equipped NVR. It can also be powered by a separate DC power supply connected to the DC barrel connector on the camera's cable pigtail.

5x Zoom Auto Focus Lens: The SPY-BLTG3IP4AF has a 5x zoom (2.7mm-13.5mm) auto focus lens to let you choose the field of view for the camera. You can zoom in or out using the web interface, DVR/NVR, or the remote viewing app, to achieve the focal length you desire. The camera's motorized auto focus brings the subject into focus automatically.

Night Vision: This IP mini-dome camera is equipped with infrared (IR) LEDs that provides night vision up to 40 meters (131 feet) at night.

Weather Resistant: The camera is IP66 rated for dust and water ingress. It can be used outdoors or indoors.

Cable Protectors: The kit includes weather protection for the camera's Ethernet cable connectors. The weather-resistant cap is designed for use with a custom-length cable, and should be installed before the Ethernet cable is terminated with an RJ-45 plug. The weather-resistant cap fits over the female RJ-45 port on the camera's pigtail. It will not work with a pre-terminated Ethernet cable. If using a pre-terminated cable, you should wrap the connectors with electrical tape after they are connected to prevent exposure to the weather.

Adjustable Base: The camera has a 3.535" diameter base with a "ball and socket" adjustment for aiming the lens where you want it. It can be rotated 360° and tilted at up to 90°. When the camera is aimed at the desired direction, you can lock it down with a 3mm hex screw. If a hole has been drilled for the cable, you can install the camera without the cable being visible. If no hole has been drilled, the cable can exit through the side of the base. A rubber gasket helps keep moisture and insects from getting behind the base.

Adjustable Sunshade: The SPY-BLTG3IP4AF is equipped with an adjustable sunshade that helps to keep sunlight and rain off of the lens. When fully extended, the sunshade extends over the edge of the lens by about 3/4". The sunshade can be locked down by the provided screw, which can be tightened by hand, coin, or a screwdriver.
