IP security camera Foscam V5EP White — 5 MP (3072×1728), 4 mm fixed lens, IP66, PoE/DC, 25 fps, IR night vision 20 m

Foscam V5EP is an outdoor IP security camera in white with a metal and plastic housing and IP66 protection. It uses a 1/2.7" CMOS sensor to deliver 5 MP video (3072×1728) at up to 25 fps through a 4 mm fixed focal length lens with an 82.3° horizontal field of view. The camera supports wired Ethernet with IEEE 802.3af PoE or 12 V DC power, provides IR night vision up to 20 m, and includes motion and people detection as well as two‑way audio via a built‑in microphone and speaker.

Advantages

The camera combines weatherproof IP66 protection with a metal/plastic housing suitable for outdoor installation, PoE and 12 V DC power options for flexible deployment, and a 5 MP sensor that provides detailed 3072×1728 video at 25 fps. Integrated IR LEDs enable night monitoring up to 20 m, while motion and people detection reduce false alerts. Two‑way audio allows live interaction through the built‑in microphone and speaker.

Suitable for

• Outdoor perimeter and property monitoring
• Entrances, driveways and parking areas
• Commercial premises requiring weatherproof fixed‑lens surveillance

How to use

Mount the camera on a wall or ceiling using appropriate fasteners for the installation surface, orient the fixed 4 mm lens toward the monitored area and connect to a PoE switch or 12 V DC power supply. Connect the camera to a wired Ethernet network for video streaming and configure network and detection settings using the supported mobile application (iOS) or the camera's management tools. Position the camera to keep key areas within the 82.3° horizontal view and ensure IR LEDs have a clear line of sight for night coverage up to 20 m.

Usage recommendations

For reliable outdoor operation, install the camera under an overhang when possible to minimise direct exposure to heavy rain. Use PoE for simplified cabling and stable power delivery; verify network and detection settings after installation and periodically clean the housing and lens to maintain image clarity. Dispose of electronic components according to local regulations.
