The detection levels are greatly improved with the ability to detect motion, pedestrians, vehicles, or a combination of both. Users can easily set up detection areas for IP cameras and schedule detection hours and days.
When motion is detected, the PoE NVR system recording is triggered, along with other actions on your Camius NVR. You can save disk space by setting motion recording as the only recording method or activating both motion recording and standard 24/7 recording to access footage triggered by motion easily.
Follow this motion detection guide.
Sound Detection
The Camius 5 Megapixels security cameras have a feature that detects sudden loud noises near the camera. This Sound Detection feature can alert the user and initiate recording in Intelligent mode. To make use of this feature, you can enable Sound Detection and set up a schedule for these events. Additionally, you can utilize Intelligent Analysis to generate reports based on the recorded data.
Human and Vehicle, Perimeter Intrusion Detection and more
The newest 2K cameras from Camius come with AI analysis for advanced detection capabilities. This feature goes beyond traditional video motion detection by allowing users to create detection zones for movement patterns and location tracking. With AI Detection, you can activate specific detections to receive precise reports and analytics.
In addition to triggering video recording in a special color and tag, AI Detection can initiate email or push notifications. The available AI Detection options include Human and Vehicle Detection (PD&VD), Perimeter Intrusion Detection (PID), Line Crossing Detection (LCD), and Cross Counting (CC).
Security Camera System Recording
Select the recording type you need, such as normal or motion, and set up a schedule that suits your requirements. This feature can be applied to multiple channels simultaneously, making it easy to configure your system. Once enabled, you can access the recorded event on your NVR and CAMIUS VIEW smartphone app. The recording guide is available at this link.
NVR Software and Camius View app
Camius security systems go beyond the HDMI monitor and smartphone app. The free NVR software can turn any desktop, laptop, PC, or Mac into a 24/7 surveillance station. Users can monitor live video and audio streams in addition to playback and manage cameras with access to device settings.

FAQs about 8 camera PoE security system
What is the best PoE security camera system?
The best PoE security camera system is one that combines high video quality, reliable power over Ethernet, the latest AI detection with minimum false alerts, high bandwidth network video recorder and easy remote access. Camius 8-camera PoE security system offers all-in-one protection for homes or businesses with a single cable for power and data. Camius NVRs automatically detect and power each PoE camera, record in 2K or 4K with high bitrate and 128Mbps bandwidth, and let you view footage through the free Camius View app on your phone or computer using a web browser or desktop software.
What is the disadvantage of a PoE camera?
PoE cameras from Camius require an Ethernet cable to connect to the NVR, which means some cabling during installation. Once connected, they are more stable than standard Wi-Fi cameras because power and data use the same cable. Camius PoE systems also allow long cable runs and provide consistent recording even during heavy network use.
How many cameras can an 8 port PoE switch support?
A Camius 8-channel PoE NVR includes eight PoE ports that each power one camera. This means you can connect up to eight Camius PoE cameras directly using Cat5e or Cat6 cables.
Which camera is better, 5MP or 8MP?
Camius 5MP PoE cameras record in 2K resolution and full 30 frames per second (FPS) and offer excellent detail with lower bandwidth use. Camius 8MP cameras record in 4K Ultra HD, capturing finer details like faces and license plates at a distance. For balanced coverage, many users combine both resolutions—5MP for general monitoring and 8MP for key areas needing higher clarity.
