InVid Tech PAR-P8TXIR28-LC3 8MP AI IP Turret Camera, 2.8 mm, IR/White Light, IP67, 12VDC/PoE
The InVid Tech PAR-P8TXIR28-LC3 is an 8 megapixel Paramont series IP turret camera delivering 3840 × 2160 resolution at up to 20 fps for detailed 4K surveillance footage. Its 2.8 mm fixed lens provides a wide 106° horizontal field of view, while true WDR 120 dB, 3D noise reduction, and defog processing maintain usable images in high-contrast, low-light, and adverse weather conditions. Built-in IR and white light up to 98 ft allow the camera to capture color or monochrome video in complete darkness, with options for IR only, white light, or AI-triggered white light response.
Designed for plug-and-play deployment, this turret supports first-level human and vehicle classification, smart motion detection, and line-cross/region intrusion events to reduce false alarms in busy scenes. Native Chrome/Edge browser support, QR-code P2P connection (NAT 2.0), and ONVIF interoperability simplify integration with existing NVRs, VMS platforms, and cloud services. Edge storage via microSD (up to 256 GB), IP67 weatherproof housing, and 12 VDC/PoE operation make the PARP8TXIR28LC3 a reliable choice for U.S. and Canadian security integrators deploying outdoor cameras in parking lots, perimeters, retail sites, and multi‑building campuses.
