Frequently Asked Questions


How wide is the 2.8 mm view?


A 2.8 mm fixed lens provides a broad, wide-angle view ideal for doorways and small-to-medium areas; we’ll place the camera to avoid distortion on key details.


How far can it see at night?


Expect ~30 m / 100 ft of IR illumination depending on scene reflectivity and mounting height. We tune Smart IR to prevent washout on close objects.


Do I need a power outlet at the camera?


No. We typically use PoE (802.3af)—one Ethernet cable carries both power and data from the NVR/switch.


Will it survive the weather?


Yes. These turrets are IP66/67 rated and spec’d for broad operating temperatures. We also use weatherproof junctions and proper drip loops.


Can it record without an NVR?


Yes—there’s a microSD slot (up to 256 GB) for edge recording; we often pair this with NVR storage for redundancy.


Ready for Pro-Grade Coverage?


Smart Shield Systems will specify the right 4MP or 8MP H.265 IR Turret (2.8 mm), design optimal placement, and install it cleanly with PoE, retention planning, and remote access—so you get crisp video day and night.
