The Viewtron IP-AX4D is 4mp IP security camera with alarm light and audio siren for active crime deterrence. This dome-style alarm security camera also has built-in IR night vision, PoE (Power over Ethernet), and a microphone for audio surveillance and 2-way audio communications. In addition to the built-in audio and video alarms, this camera also has 1 alarm input and 1 alarm output that can be used integrate with external alarm sensors and access control devices.
The 2.8mm fixed lens captures a 108 degree field of view. The artificial intelligence software of the camera supports the following video analytics functions: vehicle detection, person detection, and human
face recognition / face detection. This network IP camera is enclosed in a IP66 rated weatherproof housing so that it can be used for indoor and outdoor installations. The built-in IR LEDs provide infrared illumination up to 150 feet. This IP camera is great for commercial and home installation.
The eye-ball style dome mount allows installers to ceiling mount or wall mount the camera and point the lens in any direction. The optional
installation junction box allows all of the camera's cables to be neatly housed. This IP camera is ONVIF protocol compliant so that it can be used with any ONVIF compatible NVR, however in order to use the AI software functions, you must use a
Viewtron IP camera NVR or configure the AI software functions by directly logging into the camera through a web browser.

Watch this video demo to learn how-to setup human object detection and an intrusion zone using the AI software built into this camera. When a person is detected intruding in the detection zone at Mike's front door, the camera's alarm light comes on and an audio warning plays on the speaker. This setup and recording was performed with the IP-AX4D connected to a
Viewtron IP camera NVR.
Trigger Alarm Output
Watch this video to learn how-to setup the alarm relay output port of the IP-AX4D IP camera. When the AI software of this IP camera detects a human in a certain zone, the alarm output is enabled, which turns on an alarm light. You can also see the
setup article here.
Security Camera with Siren & Alarm Light
Watch this video to see a demo of this security camera's siren and alarm light. Human object detection is enabled, along with an intrusion zone. When a human is detected inside the intrusion zone, the camera's siren and alarm lights turn on.
Trigger Alarm Output from 2nd Security Camera
Watch this video to learn how-to setup setup AI human detection on a 2nd security camera to trigger the alarm relay output port of the IP-AX4D. When the AI software of the 2nd IP camera detects a human in a certain zone, the alarm output on the IP-AX4D is triggered. You can also see the full
setup article here.
AI Camera Video Demos

AI camera video demos here. Our video library includes demos using our license plate recognition camera, auto-tracking PTZ camera, and 4K IP cameras with and without AI software.
Security Camera Mobile App
In this video, the mobile app connects to the
Viewtron NVR at CCTV Camera Pros office. The CCTV Camera Pros' NVR is connected to 6
Viewtron IP cameras, including 4K AI security cameras, a motorized varifocal IP camera, and an LPR camera (license plate recognition / automatic number plate recognition). You can watch additional video demos of the Viewtron security camera app here.
View IP Cameras Installed at Multiple Locations
Watch the above video to see how the iPhone app that is included with Viewtron IP cameras can be used to view security cameras installed at multiple locations. In the video, a Viewtron AI camera is installed to monitor the front parking lot at CCTV Camera Pros warehouse, and an 4K dome IP camera is installed as part of the home security camera system installed at Mike's house.
The mobile apps and desktop PC software for Viewtron supports the ability to monitor Viewtron IP cameras, DVRs, and NVRs that are installed at multiple locations. Multi-device / multi-location camera viewing works using the Android app, as well as the Window and Mac video management software.
Watch this video to learn how to setup a face recognition capabilities of this camera on a Viewtron NVR. This video demonstrated face recognition and face detection. We also demonstrate how to add faces to the face database on the NVR using video surveillance footage recorded on the NVR. You can also add faces to the database using the mobile app. You can watch additional
face recognition camera videos here. Please also before to check out these installation instructions for face recognition cameras.
The face detection function of Viewtron AI cameras makes it easy to trigger alarms based on a human face appearing within the view of the camera. The above screenshot was captured using a Viewtron IP-A4D dome AI camera connected to a
Viewtron IP camera NVR. When a face is detected, the event is recorded in the NVR's database. Thumbnail images can be displays (like you see above) for easy access to playback the recorded video of the facial detection.
The following snapshot images were captured using the
Viewtron mobile app for iPhone and Android. You can click on the images to see the full resolution 4 megapixel image.
To capture these snapshots, the IP-AX4D is connected to a Viewtron NVR and the NVR was accessed remotely using the iPhone app. In the app, users can easily capture snapshot images and save them their phone.
Here is another snapshot captured from the app. This was was captured at night to show the camera's IR night vision capability.
Complete AI Camera Systems
CCTV Camera Pros has complete
AI camera systems available here.
The optional
VT-J302 security camera junction box has pre-threaded screw mount holes specifically for the IP-AX4D camera. There is a bottom and side inlet for cable. When the bottom inlet is used, the inlet plug can be moved to the size inlet.
In addition to the built-in siren and alarm lights, the IP-AX4D also has alarm input ports and alarm relay output ports. Installers can easily connect external alarm devices such as
magnetic door sensors / widow sensors and passive infrared motion detectors to the alarm input port of this IP camera. Ports 3 and 4 on the terminal block are the input ports.
The alarm relay output ports can be used to connect external alarm devices such as strobe lights and audio sirens. Ports 1 and 2 on the wire terminal block are the alarm relay ports. You can watch this video to learn
how-to connect an alarm light to the alarm relay output port of an IP camera.
