2K+ Video Resolution

The new Sony STARVIS CMOS sensor provides double the resolution of the sensor in a 1080p (FullHD) camera model. Thanks to the additional 2 million pixels, you can also see distant objects in all detail.

Outdoor cameras with 2K video resolution

Comforting Sense of Security

Avoid false alarms by linking software-based motion detection with the integrated body heat sensor (Passive Infrared, PIR). This way, you only receive alerts when something has actually happened.

Avoid false alarms by an additionally built-in PIR heat sensor

Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a method of transmitting data and power over a single network cable. The requirement for this is a PoE-enabled switch or injector with which the network cable is connected. When you then connect the other end to a PoE-enabled device, in this case the INSTAR camera, the camera is powered and simultaneously transmits data over the network cable.

Surveillance camera / IP camera with integrated PoE (Power over Ethernet) module

No more Cables, no more unnecessary & unused connectors

The design of this outdoor camera is based on the housing of the IN-9008 FullHD, which was developed to meet the needs of our customers. Thanks to the already integrated special functions, some of the usual connections are omitted, so that the most necessary connections can be found directly inside the camera housing. This brings many advantages. So it is now possible to only lay the cables inside the camera that you really need. There is no longer a connection cable that protrudes directly from the camera and has to be routed cumbersomely through the wall. With the new concept, you can now, for example, only lay the lan cable through a wall and attach it to the camera if you want to operate the camera via PoE.

4.3mm Wide-Angle Lens

A high quality lens offers 90º in horizontal viewing angle. Enough to mislead people into thinking that they are outside the video picture. Several image options allow you to get the best video image out of any lighting situation.ss the camera through the free App InstarVision or the integrated Web Interface.

  • Video & Audio

    Thanks to a build in microphone, the camera can transfer the video including the surrounding sound. Keep an eye on your loved ones with our free App InstarVision for your smartphone – when you are at home or when you are on the road.

Keep Your

Alarm Videos Safe

Your camera can store alarm recordings on the internal SD card, upload them to a private FTP(S) or SFTP server, or transfer them to the optional INSTAR Cloud to keep the files secure. Each alarm event can trigger a short alarm recording that will be automatically uploaded to your INSTAR Cloud account – safe, on German servers, and accessible only to you!

A camera that speaks "Smart Home"

Smart home systems are very diverse. But what they have in common is the language they speak. Wireless sensors connect to your smart home gateway via standards like Zigbee, Z-Wave, or EnOcean. While wired devices mostly communicate via the MQTT protocol. Use your camera as an MQTT hub in your home network and give your smart home 100% control over all camera functions. By providing this standard conformity, you can indirectly link any sensor in your house to your camera.

Smart living with INSTAR

All smart home systems build on a component commonly referred to as a "gateway." This gateway - a black box that you connect to your router or a cloud platform like IFTTT - contains the logic that controls your home automation. It also has interfaces through which sensors and actuators can be connected and configured according to your needs. INSTAR cameras can be added to a large number of systems via their HTTP and MQTT interfaces. Everything connected to your gateway is indirectly connected to your INSTAR camera - Amazon Alexa, Phillips Hue, Google Assistant, Cortana.

The HTML5 video can also be transmitted encrypted via HTTPS including audio. Alternatively, the video can also be captured via MJPEG or JPEG stream.

Are there any additional costs after purchasing the camera? aa

INSTAR cameras do not have a mandatory subscription service that would incur additional costs. However, INSTAR offers optional PC software (InstarVision 2 for Windows and MacOS) and cloud storage plans (INSTAR Cloud) for expansion needs.
