AVI-8 12.0W-H5A-FE-DO1-IR 12.0MP 1.6mm Fisheye Surveillance Security System

12.0MP fisheye surveillance camera

This Avigilon 12.0W-H5A-FE-DO1-IR delivers a 12.0 megapixel image through a 1.6mm fixed lens on a 1/2.3" CMOS sensor. The fisheye design provides a wide field of view for monitoring large areas with a single device. It connects via a 100BASE-TX RJ45 network port and supports digital zoom up to 12x for closer inspection of recorded footage. Frame rates reach 25 fps at 50Hz or 30 fps at 60Hz.

Outdoor installations needing wide coverage

The IP66 and IP67 rated casing protects the camera against dust and water for reliable outdoor operation. It suits sites that require a single panoramic view rather than multiple narrow-angle cameras. Buyers who need varifocal lenses, longer focal lengths, or higher frame rates for fast-motion analysis should look at other models. Indoor-only deployments without weather exposure may not require this level of protection.

1.6mm fixed focal length

The 1.6mm lens determines the viewing angle and cannot be adjusted after installation. This focal length creates the fisheye perspective that covers a broad scene but reduces detail at distance. Verify that this fixed wide angle matches the surveillance area before purchase. If adjustable zoom or a narrower field of view is required, a different camera is necessary.
