The Avigilon Alta A5 Bullet Camera is a cloud-connected bullet range built for fast deployments and strong perimeter detail, offered in 8MP (4K) or 5MP models with a choice of wide (4.3–10.8 mm) or telephoto (11–28 mm) varifocal lenses, 2.5× optical zoom, and remote zoom/focus to fine-tune coverage after installation. Image performance is designed for challenging scenes with multi-exposure line-based HDR and strong low-light sensitivity (0.06 lux in color), backed by 850 nm IR for after-hours visibility—up to 50 m (wide) or 90 m (tele) with automatic night mode and an IR-cut filter. It also adds intelligence beyond standard video: built-in AI video and audio analytics with a 4-microphone array provides audio classification and audio source localization, while microSD (SDXC UHS-I) edge storage supports resilience at the camera. For IT and compliance, security is built in with TPM 2.0, factory-installed certificates, no default passwords, mandatory access authentication, and HTTPS/TLS encryption, plus ONVIF Profile S support when set to ONVIF mode. Physically it’s engineered for exposed sites with IK10 impact resistance, IP66 weather protection, and -25°C to +50°C operation, powered primarily by PoE+ (802.3at Type 2) (or PoE 802.3af without heat/IR), with a USB-C port for installation preview/setup—and it’s backed by a 10-year warranty with an Alta Video license (or 3 years without).
