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.
4MP in a turret with a varifocal lens, so the field of view is set on site rather than chosen from a catalogue. Takes 802.3af PoE or 12VDC, on a single Cat5e run.
It carries the widest analytics set in the range: occupancy counting, people counting, heat mapping, crowd gathering, and queue monitoring. For a retail or hospitality client that is a genuine product rather than a checkbox.
It is also the clearest case of paying for the platform rather than the camera. The same sensor and lens on an ONVIF camera feeding a local VMS gives the client the picture and the freedom to change analytics vendors later.
