Covert 1080P PoE camera

The DiySecurityCameraWorld IPCX-MC28031080 is a covert IP camera housed in a non-functional smoke-detector shell. It streams 1920 x 1080 video at up to 30 fps through a fixed 2.8 mm wide-angle lens. Power is delivered via 12 V DC or PoE over a single RJ45 connection, with no separate adapter included.

Discreet indoor monitoring only

This unit suits installers who need an unobtrusive ceiling-mount camera for indoor coverage and who can provide PoE infrastructure. It lacks a micro SD slot, wireless connectivity, pan-tilt movement and any onboard smoke-sensing function, so buyers requiring local recording, Wi-Fi flexibility or multi-directional aiming should look elsewhere.

ONVIF 2.0 and XMEYE P2P app

ONVIF 2.0 compliance allows integration with compatible NVRs and video-management software without proprietary lock-in. The bundled XMEYE mobile app adds P2P remote viewing for up to ten simultaneous users on iOS or Android, removing the need for manual port forwarding or DDNS configuration.

Questions about this item

What power source must I already have to run this PoE camera without the optional 12 V adapter?

You need a PoE-capable switch or injector that delivers power over the RJ45 cable; the camera draws its power from the network link when the 12 VDC adapter is not used.

Will the ONVIF 2.0 support let me add this covert camera to an existing NVR that only speaks ONVIF 2.0?

Yes, the camera is ONVIF 2.0 compliant, so it can be discovered and streamed by any recorder or VMS that implements the ONVIF 2.0 profile.

How can I confirm the 2.8 mm wide-angle lens is delivering the full 1920×1080 picture after installation?

Open the XMEYE app or a browser on IE 6.0 or later, view the live stream at 30 fps, and verify the on-screen resolution reads 1920×1080 with the expected wide field of view.
