Avigilon H5A IR PTZ Camera Overview
The Avigilon H5A IR PTZ range (available in 2MP, 4MP and 8MP) is built for large, high-risk outdoor sites where you need fast situational awareness by day and confident identification at night—without relying on external lighting. It combines 360° continuous pan with -20° to 90° tilt (including a 20° “look-up” above the horizon) and high-speed movement up to 300°/second, paired with long-range optics (40× zoom on 2MP; 36× on 4MP/8MP) for rapid wide-to-tele control. For night performance, its automated IR maintains consistent illumination by adjusting to zoom and field of view, delivering up to 300 m IR range on 2MP and 150 m on 4MP/8MP, with 0 lux operation in IR mode. Embedded Next-Generation Video Analytics with auto-tracking helps detect and follow targets automatically, while H.264/H.265 with HDSM SmartCodec™ reduces bandwidth and storage load. It’s hardened for harsh environments with Type 4X, IP66/67/68, IK10, and NEMA TS2 compliance, and includes enterprise-ready features like ONVIF Profiles S/T/G, onboard microSD storage, optional FIPS 140-2 Level 1 license, and an onboard FIPS 140-2 Level 3 TPM for stronger key protection.
