Why Choose a 5MP Kit Instead of a 4MP PoE CCTV NVR Kit
- The Camius 5MP PoE camera kit delivers sharper video, smoother playback, and more intelligent monitoring compared to typical 4MP systems.
- The included 8 channel NVR supports up to 128 Mbps incoming bandwidth, allowing all channels to stream and record 2K or 5 MP video at a full 30 frames per second without lag.
- Each camera records both video and audio, giving complete situational awareness in every scene.
- Built-in AI detection helps identify motion, people, vehicles, sound, perimeter intrusion with greater precision, reducing false alerts.
- The NVR comes with large pre-installed storage and supports expansion up to 10 TB, offering reliable long-term recording for homes, offices, and commercial properties.
Recording & Alarms
You can customize your NVR security system recording, including Normal 24 hour continuous recording or triggered with Motion Detection. The NVR network video recorders also support PIR recording if you add Camius PIR cameras in the future. However, only ‘Normal’ recording (in green) is enabled by default. For motion recording, you’d need to set a recording schedule.
Smart Detection to Reduce False Alarms
PoE security cameras have smart video motion detection, which can detect motion, pedestrians, vehicles, or both, improving detection accuracy. You can also choose specific areas for detection and set schedules for when detection should occur. When motion is detected, the PoE NVR system will start recording and take other actions you specify in your Camius NVR. You can choose only to record motion events to save space on your hard drive or record everything while still being able to access footage of motion-triggered events quickly.
Human, Vehicle, Perimeter Intrusion detection & 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 unique color and tag, AI Detection can initiate an 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).
2K Outdoor Security Cameras
Camius 2K Bullet PoE cameras deliver exceptional video quality with 2K resolution, providing clear and detailed footage for enhanced security. These cameras are perfect for outdoor use, featuring a durable design that withstands various weather conditions. The bullet design provides a narrow field of view, making it ideal for targeting specific areas, such as entry points or driveways. Integrated with night vision, these cameras ensure 24/7 surveillance, capturing high-quality images even in low light.
2K Dome Security Cameras
Camius 2K Dome PoE cameras offer superior 2K video resolution, ideal for both indoor and outdoor environments. The dome design provides a wide field of view, making it suitable for monitoring large areas such as retail spaces, offices, and public areas. With their sleek and unobtrusive appearance, dome cameras blend seamlessly into any setting. Additionally, they feature night vision capabilities, ensuring round-the-clock surveillance with clear and detailed footage, regardless of lighting conditions.
Add a Security Camera 8 Megapixel to Expand Your PoE System
Upgrade your coverage anytime by adding a Camius PoE security camera 8 megapixel to your existing PoE NVR kit. Enjoy 4K Ultra HD clarity, smart AI detection, and crisp audio recording for complete indoor and outdoor protection.
Customizable Settings
Camius security cameras have settings you can adjust in the NVR (recording device). You can change how the camera sees things at night (infrared settings) and captures images (e.g., flipping the image or using a wide dynamic range). You can also save your preferred settings as the default.
Email Notifications
Camius security systems offer a useful feature of sending email notifications, which can be configured to alert users in real time of any detected events or incidents. This feature is handy for remote monitoring. It can be set up to send email notifications for various types of events, such as motion, intelligence, and AI detection. With this feature, Camius security systems provide an efficient and convenient way for users to stay informed and maintain awareness of potential security threats on their premises.
