IMOU Cell PT 2C 5MP PTZ IPC-B7C-5MOWEH\FSP12-TYPEC - robotic, standalone IP camera with battery and solar panel.

Description IMOU Cell PT 2C 5MP PTZ IPC-B7C-5MOWEH\FSP12-TYPEC

The IMOU Cell PT 2C 5MP IP camera (model IPC-B7C-5MOWEH/FSP12-TYPEC ) is a reliable option for outdoor video surveillance, especially when you don't want to pull wires or depend on sockets. It runs on a battery with a solar panel, making it completely autonomous.

The camera provides a 5-megapixel image (3K resolution — 2880×1620), which allows you to clearly see details even from afar. There is a PTZ function: 350° horizontal and 90° vertical rotation, plus 8x digital zoom. This helps to cover a large area without "blind" zones.

Night vision here is special — full-color. The camera turns on the LED backlight and shows a color image at a distance of up to 20-30 meters, instead of the usual black and white infrared. Very convenient, because it is easier to recognize a person or a car by the color of clothing or license plate.

A PIR sensor is used to detect motion along with AI, which distinguishes people from animals or branches in the wind. False positives are significantly reduced. There is two-way audio - you can talk through the camera, and there is also a powerful siren (120 dB) and a flash to scare away uninvited guests.

Power is what makes this model especially practical. Built-in 5000 mAh battery plus 3 W solar panel. If the camera is not used too often (for example, 20 times a day), a few hours of sunlight are enough to last the battery for months. Charging works even at -20°C, and the Type-C port simplifies everything. IP66 protection - rain, snow, dust are not scary to it. Connects via 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, video is stored on a microSD card up to 256 GB or in the Imou cloud.

The advantages are obvious: easy to install — no cables, just attach and configure via the Imou Life app. No electricity costs, ideal for places where there are no outlets. The image quality is high, notifications come quickly, and active protection (siren, conversation) adds security. If there is enough sun, you can forget about charging altogether.

This type of camera is often used for private homes to monitor the yard, garage, or gate. It is well suited for a summer cottage, farm, construction site, or small warehouse. Where large area surveillance is required, PTZ is a great help. It also works great in cold regions or with poor lighting.

Regarding integration with smart systems: with Ajax, the camera works via RTSP or ONVIF - you can add it as a third-party IP camera to the Ajax hub, watch video, and receive alarms in one application.

Home Assistant has official integration from Imou (via their Open Platform) or custom components like imou_life. You can control PTZ, enable/disable detection, siren, watch the stream, and create automations — for example, turn on the light when the camera sees a person.

For OpenHAB (or openHAB), binding for IP cameras with ONVIF support is suitable - you get video, rotation control, and basic functions in the overall smart home system.

Overall, the IMOU Cell PT 2C 5MP is a practical and modern camera that doesn’t require much attention after installation. The main thing is a good Wi-Fi signal and at least some sun for the panel. If you’re looking for a standalone solution with good picture quality and smart features, this model is definitely worth considering.
