5MP IP Cameras - PoE Turret & ColorVu CCTV
4 products in our Cameras range — trade-grade UK stock from CCTV Master.
5MP IP cameras: what this range covers
5MP turret cameras give a sharper, more detailed image than standard 2MP (1080p) CCTV, which helps with reading number plates or faces at a distance. This range holds four core product lines, several available in more than one finish (white/black) or feature variant, all in a fixed turret body suited to wall or ceiling mounting.
Within the range you'll find a mix of connection types and low-light approaches, so the main choice is matching the camera to your existing system and lighting conditions.
How to choose
- Connection type: some models are TVI/AHD/CVI (analogue-style, for existing coax-based DVR systems), others are PoE IP cameras (network-based, single cable for power and data).
- Low-light technology: "ColorVu" and "Smart Hybrid Light" models are built to keep colour visible in low light rather than switching fully to black-and-white infrared; plain IR models rely on infrared illumination instead.
- Audio: several models include built-in audio capture — useful if you want sound alongside video, not just images.
- Weatherproofing: look for an IP67 rating (dust-tight and protected against water jets) if the camera will sit outdoors and exposed.
- Colour/finish: white or black options exist across a few of these models, mainly to suit the mounting surface.
Check your recorder or NVR supports the connection type before buying, since TVI/AHD/CVI and PoE IP systems are not interchangeable.
5MP — frequently asked questions
What does 5MP mean for a CCTV camera?
It refers to the sensor resolution (5 megapixels), which generally gives a sharper, more detailed image than a standard 2MP (1080p) camera.
Can I mix a 5MP TVI/AHD/CVI camera with a PoE IP system?
No — TVI/AHD/CVI cameras connect to analogue-style coax DVRs, while PoE IP cameras connect over a network to an NVR, so check your recorder type first.
