White 4/8mp Motorized IR Turret Camera

A sleek, wide-temp turret with a motorized varifocal lens that lets us zoom and focus from the app/NVR—no ladder re-aiming needed. Choose 4MP or 8MP (4K) models with efficient H.265/H.265+, True WDR, long-range IR night vision, and rugged IP67 weather sealing for clean PoE installs at homes and small businesses.

Why Choose This Turret with Smart Shield Systems


  • Pro design & placement to get the exact angle/detail you need using the motorized zoom (typ. 2.7–12 mm / 2.8–12 mm).

  • Clean PoE install (single cable) with sealed junctions and tidy cable management.

  • Image tuning (WDR, bitrate, IR) matched to your lighting for crisp day/night video and right-sized storage.

  • Ongoing support for retention planning, remote access, and health checks.


Key Features


  • Motorized varifocal lens (≈2.7–12 mm / 2.8–12 mm) to frame wide areas or tighten for facial/plate detail; typical FOV ~108° to ~30°.

  • Strong night vision: integrated IR rated up to ~40 m / 131 ft (model dependent) with Smart IR to avoid close-object washout.

  • True WDR (≈120 dB) for backlit entrances and mixed lighting.

  • Efficient recording: H.265/H.265+ reduces bandwidth and storage without losing detail.

  • Rugged & simple: IP67 weather rating and PoE (802.3af) for one-cable power/data.

  • Edge storage: microSD slot up to 256 GB for backup/standalone clips.

  • Open compatibility: ONVIF Profiles S/G/T for broad NVR/VMS support.

Frequently Asked Questions


What does “motorized varifocal” do for me?


It lets us zoom and focus remotely (e.g., from the NVR/app) after installation, so we can fine-tune framing without touching the camera. Typical FOV ranges ~108° (wide) to ~30° (tele).


How well does it work at night?


These turrets include Smart IR with rated illumination to ~40 m/131 ft (some 8MP SKUs list up to 50 m). We tune IR and exposure to prevent washout.


Do I need a power outlet at the camera?


No—PoE (802.3af) supplies power and data over a single Ethernet cable.


Will it integrate with my existing recorder?


In most cases, yes. ONVIF S/G/T support enables broad compatibility; we’ll verify features (e.g., motion/analytics events) with your NVR/VMS.


Can it record without an NVR?


Yes. The built-in microSD slot (commonly up to 256 GB) allows edge recording; we often pair this with NVR storage for redundancy.


Ready for Flexible, Pro-Grade Coverage?


Smart Shield Systems will specify the right 4MP or 8MP Motorized IR Turret, design optimal placement, and install it cleanly with PoE, tuned imaging, and secure remote access—so you get the detail you need, day and night.
