MERCUSYS MC500 Outdoor Pan/Tilt Security Wi-Fi Camera

MERCUSYS MC500 Outdoor Pan/Tilt Security Wi-Fi Camera is an outdoor Wi-Fi security camera designed for monitoring homes, entrances, yards, and other exterior areas. It records video at up to 1080p Full HD and combines 360° horizontal coverage, pan and tilt movement, motion and person detection, color night vision, two-way audio, and local or cloud storage.

The camera provides 360° horizontal pan coverage and up to 130° vertical tilt coverage, allowing a single camera to monitor a broad area. Its motorized design also supports motion tracking and preset patrol routes to help keep moving subjects within view.

For nighttime monitoring, the MC500 combines color night vision with an 850 nm IR LED that provides night vision up to 98 ft / 29.9 m. It also supports motion detection, person detection, and customizable activity zones for more focused event monitoring.

The MC500 is rated IP65 for outdoor use and can be mounted on a wall, ceiling, or pole. It supports microSD cards up to 512GB for local recording, as well as MERCUSYS Camera Care cloud storage with a subscription. A physical lens shield provides a privacy mode when monitoring is not required.

The camera connects over Wi-Fi and also supports RTSP and ONVIF, making it suitable for compatible monitoring and network video environments. Two-way audio with noise cancellation allows users to communicate remotely through the built-in microphone and speaker.
