Avigilon H6A/H6X Bullet Camera
- See far, even in total darkness: Bullet form factors with 2 MP / 4 MP / 6 MP / 8 MP (4K) options, True WDR up to 150 dB (mode dependent), and built-in 850 nm IR for long-range night detail—up to 50 m, 70 m, or 170 m at full-tele (lens/variant dependent).
- Smarter alerts, faster investigations: AI video analytics with classified object detection (people + vehicles, including vehicle sub-types in outdoor mode), plus advanced event rules (e.g., area/line crossing/loitering and unusual crowd size). Add dual microSD slots for edge recording and efficiency features like HDSM SmartCodec™ + idle scene mode, EIS, and Corridor Mode.
- Built for compliance and harsh sites: Enterprise hardening including FIPS 140-2 Level 3 TPM, Secure Boot, and signed/encrypted firmware, plus rugged outdoor ratings (IK10/IK11, IP66/67/68, NEMA Type 4X). Choose H6A for audio analytics via built-in mic (select variants, with a physical disable switch), or H6X for privacy/cyber requirements with no built-in microphone or wireless, and Gigabit Ethernet (H6X).

Avigilon H6A & H6X Bullet Cameras Overview
Avigilon H6A/H6X Bullet Cameras are built for long-range outdoor coverage with two form factors—short bullet for wide-to-mid scenes and long bullet for high-zoom perimeter and roadway views—across 2 MP, 4 MP, 6 MP and 8 MP (4K) options. They pair remote zoom/focus varifocal optics (including long-zoom lens options) with built-in high-power 850 nm IR, delivering night visibility from 30–70 m on standard bullets and up to 170 m (full-tele) on long-zoom variants (lens dependent). Wide dynamic range performance scales by model and mode, reaching up to 150 dB in triple-exposure HDR for demanding scenes like headlights, gates and reflective signage, while efficiency features such as H.264/H.265 HDSM SmartCodec™ and idle scene mode reduce storage and bandwidth without sacrificing usable evidence. Both lines include AI video analytics with classified objects (people and vehicles, including vehicle sub-types in outdoor mode), plus advanced events like loitering, line/beam crossing, direction violations and unusual crowd size, with Teach-By-Example supported when used with Avigilon Unity/ACC. Choose H6A when you want audio analytics (built-in mic on certain variants with a physical disable switch), or H6X when you need stricter privacy/cyber compliance (no built-in mic or wireless) and Gigabit Ethernet; both are hardened with Secure Boot, signed/encrypted firmware, and an onboard FIPS 140-2 Level 3 TPM, with dual microSD slots (tested up to 1.5 TB) and rugged outdoor protection including IP66/67/68, IPX9K, NEMA 4X and IK10.
