White 4/8mp Fixed Color Maker Turret Camera
Get vivid, full-color video 24/7—even in very dark scenes. This fixed-lens Color Maker turret uses a large-aperture lens and built-in warm white LEDs to keep footage in color after dark, with efficient H.265 recording, True WDR, rugged weather sealing, and clean PoE installs.

Why Choose This Turret with Smart Shield Systems
Pro design & placement so faces, plates, and approaches are framed for real-world detail day and night.
Clean PoE install (one Ethernet cable) with sealed junctions and tidy cable management.
Expert tuning of WDR, bitrate, and warm-light intensity for your exact lighting and retention goals.
Key Features
24/7 color imaging: full-time color with warm LEDs (no IR grayscale).
Wide fixed lens (commonly 2.8 mm) for entries, porches, and driveways.
True WDR (≈120–130 dB) handles bright doorways and mixed lighting.
Efficient recording: H.265/H.265+ reduces bandwidth and storage vs. H.264.
Built-in mic on select models for real-time audio.
Edge storage: on-board microSD (many models up to 512 GB).
Outdoor-ready: weather-sealed (IP67 class) for year-round use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does “Color Maker” actually do?
It combines a fast lens with built-in warm LEDs so scenes stay in true color at night instead of switching to black-and-white IR.
How far do the LEDs reach?
Model-dependent; typical full-color turrets list ~10–30 m of warm-light coverage. We set brightness to avoid glare while preserving color.
Do I need a power outlet at the camera?
No—PoE carries power and data over a single Ethernet cable.
Can it record without an NVR?
Yes. Many models support on-board microSD (often up to 512 GB) for edge recording; we usually pair this with NVR storage for redundancy.
Ready for True Color at Night?
Smart Shield Systems will specify, install, and tune your White 4/8MP Fixed Color Maker Turret Camera, optimize LED/WDR settings, and set up recording and alerts—so you get clearer, more actionable video 24/7.
