WiFi Mini PTZ Camera with Night Vision and Built-in Microphone

2K 4MP Mini WiFi PTZ camera with night vision and built-in microphone

The IPD3X4MWIFI is a compact, low-profile WiFi PTZ security camera designed for installations where running Ethernet cable is not practical. It delivers crisp 2K video using a 4MP image sensor and provides full pan, tilt, and zoom control over a wireless network for active, operator-driven monitoring.

This camera is well suited for indoor and outdoor environments that require flexible placement and wireless connectivity, such as offices, retail spaces, medical facilities, warehouses, parking areas, and residential properties. Its small form factor allows discreet installation while still offering the coverage advantages of a PTZ camera.

• 2K clarity: 4MP resolution at up to 30fps
• True PTZ control: remotely pan, tilt, and zoom with presets and tours
• 4X motorized optical zoom: 2.8 - 12mm lens for wide views or tighter detail
• Infrared night vision: up to 66 ft in complete darkness
• Built-in microphone: listen in up to approximately 30 ft in quiet environments
• Wireless connectivity: 802.11 b/g/n WiFi (2.4GHz and 5.8GHz)
• Local recording: microSD slot up to 256GB (card not included)

WiFi setup and recommended network configuration

The IPD3X4MWIFI connects to your network using dual-band WiFi and is powered by a 12V DC power adapter (PoE is not supported on this model). For best performance, the camera should be connected to a dedicated WiFi router or a compatible WiFi NVR rather than a heavily congested household network.

The camera includes a built-in WiFi signal strength meter to help evaluate nearby wireless networks. For stable video and responsive PTZ control, we recommend a signal strength of approximately 90% or higher. Weak or crowded wireless environments may result in video lag or reduced image quality.

This camera pairs well with the Avalonix Premium Series WiFi NVR, which operates on a dedicated wireless network for improved reliability. Mesh WiFi systems are not recommended unless they use a wired backhaul and operate on a single subnet.

Ways to view the camera

You can watch live video using the built-in web interface on a computer without needing a plugin on modern browsers such as Edge, Chrome, or Firefox. The camera can also be viewed and controlled using free PC/Mac software, a compatible NVR interface, or iPhone and Android mobile apps for remote access.

Real-world PTZ video demos

The videos below show real-world footage recorded from the IPD3X4MWIFI in both outdoor and indoor environments. These demos illustrate what to expect from a 4X optical zoom WiFi PTZ camera, including zoom performance, parking lot coverage, and low-light behavior.

Below is a video demo of this camera in our office to provide you a better idea of what to expect from this camera in an indoor environment with overhead LED lights.

Zoom performance and usable detail

The internal PTZ motor allows the camera to pan up to 355 degrees and tilt up to 90 degrees, covering large areas with a single device. When fully zoomed, the 4X optical zoom provides usable facial detail at distances of up to approximately 90 ft during the day, depending on scene conditions.

PTZ functions can be controlled from a compatible NVR, PC or Mac software, or mobile apps, allowing operators to reposition the camera during live monitoring.

Low-light performance and night vision

Starlight technology allows the camera to remain in color in very low-light environments when ambient lighting is present. When lighting drops further, built-in infrared LEDs activate automatically to provide night vision illumination up to 66 ft.

This makes the IPD3X4MWIFI suitable for 24/7 monitoring without relying entirely on external lighting.

Built-in audio and two-way communication

A built-in microphone enables audio capture up to approximately 30 ft in quiet environments. The camera also supports audio input and output connections, allowing it to be paired with an optional two-way audio kit for speaker-based communication.

Smart detection analytics (on-camera)

This WiFi mini PTZ camera includes on-camera smart detection features designed to reduce false alerts compared to basic motion detection.

• Tripwire detection
• Intrusion detection
• Abandoned and missing object detection
• People counting
• Face detection
• Human and vehicle-specific motion detection (Smart Motion Detection)

Important note: Analytics events can be recorded and managed when the camera is paired with a compatible NVR.

Why choose this WiFi Mini PTZ camera?

The IPD3X4MWIFI is a strong choice when you need a compact PTZ camera with night vision and audio but cannot run Ethernet cabling to the installation point. It offers flexible placement while maintaining the same zoom capability and detection performance as the wired version.

If your installation allows for Ethernet cabling and you prefer a wired PoE connection, the PoE-based mini PTZ may be a better fit. To compare all available options, visit our PTZ camera category page.
