What is the field of view of Avigilon H5Pro-61MP?

The Avigilon H5Pro-61MP has a horizontal field of view of 28° with a 7-22mm lens. At 10 meters distance, it covers approximately 5.0 meters width.

What is the IR range of Avigilon H5Pro-61MP?

The Avigilon H5Pro-61MP features 0m infrared illumination range for night vision, making it suitable for short-range indoor surveillance.

How far can Avigilon H5Pro-61MP see clearly?

The recommended effective range of Avigilon H5Pro-61MP is approximately 167 meters (DORI Recognize threshold, ≥125 px/m on the target). At this distance the 61.0MP (9568×6380) sensor provides enough pixel density to describe a person's actions and clothing; identify-grade detail requires roughly half this distance.

About the Avigilon H5Pro-61MP

The Avigilon H5Pro-61MP is a discreet dome housing well-suited to indoor retail, office, lobby, and educational environments where aesthetics matter. Ultra-high resolution above 8MP is reserved for situations where one camera must replace several — large open atriums, parking decks, and stadium seating areas where digital zoom on a single feed substitutes for multiple cameras. There is no built-in IR illuminator on this model, so it depends entirely on ambient light. In dark environments, pair it with external IR floods or white-light illuminators. A narrow field of view trades coverage area for pixel density at distance — the right choice when you need to read faces or plates far from the camera, e.g., long corridors, gate approaches, ANPR installations. The Super Low Light sensor is the feature most installers care about for residential and parking-lot use — it preserves identification detail when older cameras lose all color and most contour.

Best use cases for this camera

Entrance, lobby & vestibule

Low-light sensitivity preserves face detail even when interior lighting is dimmed for energy savings. Useful for capturing visitors as they enter and leave.

Long corridor & aisle monitoring

The 28° narrow angle is intentionally tuned for corridor work — it concentrates pixel density along the length of the hallway rather than wasting resolution on the side walls. Mount at the far end facing along the corridor.

Retail & office interior

Dome form factor and 61.0MP (9568×6380) resolution make this a clean retail/office choice — the housing blends into ceilings and the sensor delivers enough detail for POS-area monitoring and incident review.

Strengths

•61MP sensor preserves detail under digital zoom on recorded footage
•Super Low Light sensor maintains color detail in near-darkness
•Vandal-resistant dome housing harder to tamper with than bullet form factor
•120m effective range supports outdoor perimeter and parking-lot deployments

Considerations

•No built-in IR — requires external illumination for night use
•Narrow angle requires more cameras to cover wide areas — plan camera count accordingly
•Higher resolution increases storage and bandwidth requirements proportionally — verify NVR capacity

Installation tips for the H5Pro-61MP

Ceiling-mount at 2.5–3.5 m for indoor use; for vandal-prone outdoor locations use a wall mount with the lens facing outward and downward.

Plan cabling for multiple cameras to cover wide areas — at 28° you cover roughly 5 m of width per camera at 10 m distance.

Plan storage at roughly 244 GB per camera per day for continuous H.265 recording at 15fps — verify NVR has sufficient HDD bay capacity.

Coverage geometry & DORI distances

At a 5-metre standoff the Avigilon H5Pro-61MP covers about 2.5 m of scene width; at 10 m that grows to 5.0 m, and at 20 m to 10.0 m. Translating those numbers through EN 62676-4 pixel-density thresholds, the camera can detect a person up to 835 m, observe up to 334 m, recognise up to 167 m, and produce identification-grade detail (the ≥250 px/m bar used by Polish and EU courts as evidentiary) up to 84 m. Effective range above the identify threshold relies on supplementary lighting or a longer-focal-length optic — the geometry above assumes the 7-22mm lens declared by the manufacturer.

Power & cabling

The Avigilon H5Pro-61MP draws an estimated 5.5 W under typical load (with the IR illuminator engaged where applicable), placing it in the 802.3af (Class 3, ≤15.4 W) budget. A single switch port supplies enough power without an injector. Cabling: stick to Cat6 STP for runs up to 100 m end-to-end — beyond that, add an inline PoE extender or move to fibre with a media converter at the camera end. On outdoor runs, route through ø25 PVC or PE conduit to keep the cable shielded from UV and rodents.

Privacy & legal (GDPR / RODO)

Any camera operating in a publicly accessible area falls under GDPR (RODO in Poland) — Art. 13 obliges the data controller to post an information sign at every entry point with controller name, DPO contact, lawful basis (typically Art. 6(1)(f) legitimate interest for property protection), purpose, and retention period. Even a narrowly-aimed dome camera can incidentally record passers-by, so the Art. 13 sign at the entry point applies regardless of how tightly the lens is framed.

Installer time & cost (rough estimate)

A typical EU installer quotes 4–5 h of labour per dome camera of this class (approximately €180–€230 excluding hardware), broken down as bracket mounting, cable termination at both ends, on-site commissioning, and a brief operator handover. Allow extra time for high mounts (>4 m), exterior installations requiring scaffolding, or sites where cable routing demands wall penetrations or conduit work.

Indicative EU 2024-2025 pricing — actual quotes vary by region, mounting height, and site conditions. Excludes hardware, transport, permits, and VAT.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Avigilon H5Pro-61MP suitable for outdoor installation?

Yes for the IP66/IP67-rated variant of this model. Bullet and dome bodies in the Avigilon range survive direct rain, snow and UV; check the IP / IK rating against your environment (IP66 for rain/dust, IK10 for vandal-prone locations).

What PoE class powers the Avigilon H5Pro-61MP?

The camera draws roughly 5.5 W in steady-state operation, requiring a 802.3af (Class 3, ≤15.4 W) switch port. A single Cat6 STP cable carries both data and power up to 100 m — beyond that, add an inline extender or convert to fibre near the camera.

How much storage does the Avigilon H5Pro-61MP consume per day?

At 61.0MP (9568×6380) resolution, 15 fps H.265 continuous recording, the H5Pro-61MP produces approximately 244 GB per day — about 7320 GB per month. Motion-only or event-triggered recording typically cuts that by 40–70 % depending on scene activity. Plan NVR HDD capacity for the longest retention period required by your privacy policy or insurance contract.

Up to what distance can the Avigilon H5Pro-61MP identify a person?

Per EN 62676-4:2025 pixel-density thresholds, this camera identifies (≥ 250 px/m on the target) up to about 84 m, recognises a person up to 167 m, observes general activity up to 334 m, and detects motion up to 835 m. Identification distance assumes daylight or full IR illumination on the target — at the limits of the IR cone the effective identify distance shrinks roughly 30 %.

What network bandwidth does Avigilon H5Pro-61MP use?

Typical ingest is 92 Mbps for the main stream (H.265, medium scene complexity, 15 fps) plus ~0.5 Mbps for a low-resolution sub-stream used by mobile clients. For a 16-camera installation of this class, plan a 50–100 Mbps NVR uplink and a dedicated VLAN for camera traffic.
