The Camius 4K Spotlight Security Cameras enhance any security system for homes and businesses. The motion-activated PoE spotlight illuminates bright light to deter crime and can be controlled through the Camius View app. Users can schedule the deterrent feature to operate at specific times and days. The spotlight also enables clear color video in complete darkness, making it easier to identify subjects.
The advanced 16-channel NVR fits two internal 3.5″ SATA or 2.5″ SSD hard drives in addition to an external HDD of high capacity of 14 terabytes each bay.
The security system also offers 24/7 recording, intelligent sound, and human/vehicle detection in AI mode.
Camius prides itself on delivering exceptional quality by providing ample bandwidth for transmission and recording. Its 16 Channel NVR boasts some of the highest bitrate levels in the market, allowing for smooth and uninterrupted recording. The Network Video Recorder is equipped to handle up to 256 Mbps recording bandwidth, which means each channel has enough resources to stream, record, process, and analyze footage in stunning 4K resolution. With Camius, you can be confident in your security camera system’s ability to capture every detail and provide crystal-clear images.
Effortless Surveillance with Camius IP PoE Cameras and NVRs
Camius IP PoE cameras and NVRs provide a seamless and efficient plug-and-play surveillance system that requires minimal setup. Connecting the two devices is as simple as plugging in an Ethernet cable without configuring settings. For instance, the 4K Spotlight Surveillance Camera is ready for use immediately upon connection. Adding new Camius PoE cameras to an existing 16 Channel NVR is a breeze. The process is semi-automated with just the press of a button when using a PoE switch. Up to 16 Camius PoE cameras, including 4K floodlight and 5MP IP cameras, can be added without hassle. The Camius IP PoE cameras and NVRs offer an easy-to-use and streamlined solution for all your surveillance needs, providing hassle-free installation, seamless connectivity, and top-notch surveillance coverage.
To add non-Camius PoE IP cameras, we’d recommend using an external PoE switch since other manufacturers may limit their PoE cameras to certain connectivity protocols and functions.
The Importance of Video Compression in Security Systems
Video compression is a crucial factor to consider when selecting a security system, as it affects the clarity of the video, the amount of hard disk space used, and the network bandwidth required. Camius security systems support the H.265 video compression standard, which is considered the best standard available and can help optimize all three of these areas. Compared to the H.264 standard, H.265 offers higher video quality with the same settings, meaning that the video footage captured by Camius security systems will be higher quality. Furthermore, using H.265 compression results in smaller file sizes, which require less bandwidth to transfer the footage, making it more efficient. Additionally, the reduced file size of H.265 video footage means more video can be stored on the hard disk, increasing the overall recording duration.
To add non-Camius PoE IP cameras, we’d recommend using an external PoE switch since other manufacturers may limit their PoE cameras to certain connectivity protocols and functions.
You can customize their recording options for the Camius NVR camera system to suit their needs. While 24-hour continuous recording (normal mode) is enabled by default, the other modes need enabling. These options include scheduled, motion-triggered, and PIR detection-triggered recordings.
- With scheduled recording, users can choose to record at specific times, such as during business hours or overnight.
- A motion-triggered recording will only capture footage when motion is detected, which can help save storage space on the hard drive.
- PIR detection-triggered recording uses passive infrared technology to detect heat signatures and will only record when a person or object with a heat signature is detected.
- With these customizable recording options, users can ensure that their PoE camera system records exactly what they need when needed.

The Camius Ultra HD Spotlight Cameras are an effective deterrent against criminal activity. When using the 4K outdoor cameras, the motion-activated spotlight feature illuminates the scene with bright, visible light. This helps to deter potential criminal activity by making it clear that the area is being monitored.
The floodlight feature can be turned on and off as needed, while the spotlight provides clear color video even in complete darkness. This is particularly useful for identifying subjects in low-light situations. Furthermore, the built-in speaker can play a loud siren sound according to the user’s set conditions, further reinforcing the deterrent effect.
By combining these features, the Camius Ultra HD Spotlight Cameras offer a powerful deterrent against criminal activity. Potential intruders are more likely to think twice before attempting to break in, knowing that the area is being monitored and that any suspicious activity will be recorded and potentially deterred with the spotlight and siren (follow this guide for the Deterrence setup)
Camius 16 Channel NVR includes Smart Motion and Sound Detection, which can save valuable time when searching for events or incidents during playback. Users can set detection areas under setup for IP cameras and NVR, with the option to schedule detection hours and days.
When Motion or Sound Detection is triggered, it can initiate recording and other actions on the NVR. Users can set either sound or motion recording as the only method to save disk space, or activate both motion recording and normal 24/7 recording to capture everything while having easy access to video footage triggered by motion and sound.
Camius PoE cameras and NVRs allow you to detect not only events triggered with regular video motion but also select more precise detection as vehicles or pedestrian or both.
Sound Detection is activated in Intelligent Mode when a sudden loud noise occurs near the camera. This alerts the user and initiates recording in Intelligent mode, ensuring that any significant sound is captured and can be reviewed later if necessary. By using Sound Detection in Intelligent mode, users can streamline their surveillance workflow and ensure that they capture all relevant events and incidents.
Recording to Cloud
You keep your footage on your own recorder’s local disks. So you will have all-day videos without missing a beat. In addition, you can enable recording triggered with detection and upload footage to your Cloud service (Dropbox or Google Drive).
Activate your own alarms and triggers
You can enable alarm settings using the NVR. Alarms include a recorder’s buzzer sound, sending email alerts, push notifications to the CAMIUS VIEW smartphone camera app, recording, pre-recording, and uploading images to Cloud through the NVR (Dropbox or Google Drive).
