WHY THIS CAMERA
Cover more of a nearby approach
A wide fixed view can take in a broad entrance from a compact mounting point. Keep the subjects you need to review close enough to occupy a useful part of the frame.
Plan for daylight and after dark
130 dB wide dynamic range helps with bright and shaded areas. Adaptive infrared is rated up to 50 m (about 164 ft) under suitable conditions. Infrared produces black-and-white video in darkness. Provide suitable scene lighting if you need color after dark.
Review the events that matter
Person and vehicle detection, person line-crossing and intrusion detection, and tamper detection. A compatible recorder must support any events you want it to receive.
OUTDOOR APPLICATIONS
Coverage for the places you want to monitor
Place the compact mini dome at an entrance, exterior service area or another point on your wired site.
ENTRANCES
Frame an entrance or approach
Use the compact mini dome under an overhang or at a lobby approach. Check the wide view for blind spots and nearby reflective surfaces.
Installation concept illustration.
SERVICE AREAS
Create a clean wall installation
The PMAX-0365 supports a downward-facing camera on a straight wall and houses the cable connections in its built-in junction box. Sold separately.
Installation concept illustration.
WIRED SYSTEMS
Extend an existing wired system
Use an available channel on a compatible recorder or VMS. Check Ethernet reach, the PoE budget, and how the recorder handles the selected streams and events.
Installation concept illustration.
POWER, NETWORK AND RECORDING
How the Z912 connects to a local recorder
The camera sends video over Ethernet. A compatible PoE switch or injector supplies power, and a recorder or VMS saves the video to storage.
- Z912 camera Captures 5MP video and one-way microphone audio.
- Network and camera power Use an IEEE 802.3af PoE switch or injector, or a suitable 12V DC source with Ethernet. The camera is rated at 4.4 W over PoE.
- Local recorder A compatible recorder receives the camera’s network video and saves it to an installed drive. Recording equipment and storage are sold separately.
- Playback Save footage to the recorder’s installed drive and review it on an HDMI or VGA monitor.
Match the stream to your recorder
Choose from H.265, H.264, and MJPEG. The camera supports simultaneous dual streams. Check which resolution, frame rate, and format your recorder can save.
Decide what should trigger an event
Person and vehicle detection, person line-crossing and intrusion detection, and tamper detection. Test which events your receiving system can record or notify on.
Add one-way sound when appropriate
The built-in microphone supplies G.711 audio to a compatible system. Enable it only where appropriate for your site.
Protect network access
Use a strong password and HTTPS where supported by your setup. Plan user access and test any privacy masks before recording.
INSTALLATION GUIDANCE
Plan the view, power and mounting point
Choose the scene, mounting surface and cable path before drilling. Allow room for the connectors and protect the outdoor cable connection.
-
CLEARVERO GUIDANCE
Choose the camera position
The fixed 2.8mm lens covers a 112.9° horizontal view. Choose the mounting position for the detail you need at your subject distance. Avoid obstructions and verify the area during daylight and after dark.

CLEARVERO GUIDANCE
Provide power and Ethernet
Use an IEEE 802.3af PoE switch or injector, or a suitable 12V DC source with Ethernet. The camera is rated at 4.4 W over PoE. Keep connectors accessible for installation and service.
-
CLEARVERO GUIDANCE
Protect the mounting point
Use one PMAX-0365 per camera for a straight wall with the camera facing down. The built-in junction box houses the connections. The mount is sold separately.

CLEARVERO GUIDANCE
Test recordings and events
The camera supports ONVIF Profiles S, G, and T. Verify the recorder’s supported profile, stream format, resolution, audio and event functions before installation. Test day and night recordings before leaving the site.
PUT IT TO WORK
Build around the equipment you already have
Check your site and existing equipment before buying mounting parts or storage.
You already have a recorder
Check available camera channels and confirm your recorder can accept the camera’s stream settings. Test playback on the recorder you intend to use.
You are starting a wired system
Plan camera power, a compatible recorder or VMS, and storage before choosing retention settings.
Lighting and cable protection
Adaptive infrared is rated up to 50 m (about 164 ft) under suitable conditions. Infrared produces black-and-white video in darkness. Provide suitable scene lighting if you need color after dark. Keep the illuminators clear of nearby reflective surfaces and protect exposed connections.
