The varifocal 8MP Prism bullet, the long-throw counterpart to the 8498PA dome. Same PoE cabling and the same closed Alarm.com for Business platform.
Selora does not recommend this device
These commercial cameras are PoE and otherwise conventional, but they are provisioned against an Alarm.com for Business account and expose no ONVIF or RTSP endpoint, so a Frigate or VMS deployment on the same network cannot record them and the analytics stay licensed to Alarm.com.
Being PoE makes the cabling ordinary, which is the frustrating part: the same cable run would feed an ONVIF camera that any video management system could use. As sold, the stream and the analytics are licensed to the Alarm.com platform, recordings land on an Alarm.com stream video recorder or the camera's own SD card, and neither is readable by other software. The community Home Assistant integration covers residential cameras rather than this commercial line, so even the cloud workaround does not apply here. We specify ONVIF cameras for commercial work so the client owns the footage and can change platform without rewiring.
8MP bullet with a varifocal lens. The bullet body suits perimeters, approaches, and anywhere the camera should be visibly pointed at something, where a dome deliberately hides its aim.
Pick it over the 8498PA dome for reach along a fence line or a driveway rather than coverage of an open floor.
