Professional 5MP PoE Camera System for Home and Business
The Camius 5MP PoE outdoor security camera system comes with four wired IP cameras and an 8 channel NVR with a 4TB surveillance hard drive. This plug-and-play PoE CCTV camera system is ideal for both residential and business installations, offering continuous 24/7 recording, AI detection, and audio support without monthly fees.
Why Choose a Wired IP Camera System?
Unlike WiFi cameras that depend on wireless signals, a wired IP camera system ensures stable video and audio transmission. With Power over Ethernet (PoE), each camera uses a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable for power, video, and audio. This setup reduces interference, eliminates the need for separate power adapters, and delivers consistent 5MP video quality.
NVR with 5MP Camera Kit and 4TB Storage
The included 8 channel NVR with 4TB HDD supports up to eight Camius IP cameras. With H.265 video compression, the system saves up to 50% storage space while maintaining excellent video clarity. Automatic IP address assignment makes setup easy. You can expand the system with additional 5MP or 4K Camius cameras as needed.
- 4 × 5MP PoE bullet cameras with audio
- 8 channel 4K NVR with 4TB HDD pre-installed
- Expandable up to 8 cameras
Easy Setup with PoE Outdoor Camera System
Adding Camius PoE cameras to the NVR is simple. Plug the Ethernet cable into the NVR’s PoE port and the system powers the camera and starts streaming video. In the NVR menu, you can view power usage under the PoE Power tab. The recorder assigns each camera an IP address automatically, so you don’t need to do manual configuration.
8 Channel NVR with High Bandwidth and Storage Efficiency
The included 8 channel NVR is designed for 5MP PoE outdoor security camera systems. It supports both H.264 and H.265 video compression. H.265 is the latest standard, allowing you to save up to 50% of hard drive space and improve bandwidth efficiency without losing quality. This means longer recording times on the 4TB drive while keeping video clear. The recorder also gives you control over camera audio settings.
24/7 Recording for Business and Home Security
This wired IP camera system records continuously day and night. A bitrate of 128 Mbps ensures smooth live view and playback in full HD and 5MP resolution.
You can customize recording schedules, use motion triggers, or keep all cameras recording nonstop. Smart notifications send instant alerts to your phone whenever motion, people, or vehicles are detected.
Customizable PoE Outdoor Security Cameras
Each Camius 5MP bullet camera is built for outdoor use and includes flexible image controls. In the NVR menu, you can adjust settings like IR-cut, LED brightness, wide dynamic range (WDR), lens flip, and corridor view. This allows you to optimize video for entrances, driveways, and indoor hallways.
Smart AI Detection Features
Human and Vehicle Detection
Camius AI technology reduces false alarms by detecting people and vehicles while ignoring moving trees, shadows, or small animals.
Sound and Intrusion Detection
Built-in microphones add sound detection alerts. The system also supports line crossing, intrusion detection, and perimeter monitoring for restricted zones.
Advanced Analytics
Features such as heat maps, zone customization, and multiple AI rules give businesses and homeowners precise monitoring. Events trigger alerts, push notifications, and highlighted video clips for easy review.
Remote Access from Any Device
With Camius View mobile app, you can monitor your cameras from anywhere. The system also works with PC and Mac software for professional use, and with standard web browsers. You can view live video, playback past events, and manage multiple cameras on one screen.

FAQs about 5MP PoE security camera system
Is 5MP good for a security camera?
Yes. A 5MP security camera has almost twice the pixels of a standard Full HD 1080p camera, giving you much sharper images. Camius 5MP cameras record in 2K resolution (2880 × 1620), which equals about 4.7 million pixels at full 30 frames per second. This level of detail is more than enough for homes and small businesses, offering a good balance between video quality and storage space. Camius 5MP PoE outdoor cameras also include wide coverage and strong night vision for 24/7 protection.
Is PoE better for security cameras?
Yes. PoE is better because it avoids wireless interference and signal loss. A single cable powers the camera and transmits audio and video, making the connection stable. The Camius 5MP PoE camera system ensures uninterrupted recording without depending on WiFi.
What is the best PoE security camera system?
The best PoE system offers high resolution, simple setup, and reliable recording without subscriptions. Camius PoE security camera systems combine 5MP and 4K options, AI detection for people and vehicles, expandable NVRs with up to 42TB storage, and remote access through the Camius app.
Does a PoE security system work without WiFi?
Yes. PoE camera systems such as Camius record locally to the NVR without needing WiFi. Internet is only required if you want to view the cameras remotely on your phone or PC. For business or home users who want continuous surveillance, this makes PoE systems dependable even if internet service goes down.
What is the longest distance a PoE camera can run?
Camius PoE cameras support up to 328 feet (100 meters) of Ethernet cabling. With PoE extenders or PoE switches, you can extend the distance even further. Camius systems are designed to support long cable runs for larger properties.
Can I plug a PoE camera directly into a router?
You can plug a PoE camera into a router if the router supports PoE. Most home routers do not. For plug-and-play simplicity, connect Camius PoE cameras directly to a Camius PoE NVR. The NVR provides power, assigns IP addresses, and records video without extra setup.
Are there good PoE cameras for home surveillance?
Yes, PoE is one of the best choices for home surveillance. Camius 5MP PoE cameras provide 2K video, night vision, audio, and AI detection. They are weatherproof and integrate with an 8 channel NVR, making them suitable for residential and small business use.
