AvertX HD420 4MP Mini IP Bullet Security Camera AVX-HD420IR, 100 ft Night Vision, PoE

The AvertX HD420 (AVX-HD420IR) is a compact, professional-grade 4MP mini IP bullet camera for homes and businesses that want sharp, reliable video around the clock. Because it pairs a wide 90.5° lens with 100 ft infrared night vision and True WDR, it also works as an outdoor IP camera with night vision for driveways, entrances, and parking areas.

In addition, a single PoE cable handles both power and video. In short, it is dependable and easy to install, and this unit is brand new in the original AvertX retail box.

Condition and What’s in the Box

Brand new, never installed. However, AvertX has discontinued the HD420, so new units are hard to find for anyone expanding or repairing an existing AvertX system. In the box:

• AvertX HD420 4MP mini IP bullet camera
• 100 ft Cat5e Ethernet camera cable
• Waterproof IP66 cable connector
• Mounting hardware

AvertX HD420 Bullet Camera Key Features

• 4MP resolution (2592 x 1520): it has almost twice the pixels of 1080p, so you can zoom into recordings and still pick out faces and details.
• Wide 90.5° view: because the 3.6 mm F1.8 lens sees so much, it covers yards, driveways, and storefronts with fewer cameras.
• Night vision up to 100 ft: as an outdoor IP camera with night vision, it uses adaptive IR LEDs and a true day/night filter. As a result, the optimal range is about 60 ft.
• Spectrum Vision True WDR: multi-exposure processing balances bright sun and shadows, so backlit doorways stay readable.
• Built-in heater: the AvertX HD420 keeps recording and cold-starts down to -35°F. That is why it suits Chicago-style winters, garages, and cold storage.
• IP66 weatherproof aluminum chassis: the hardened housing is also built for outdoor walls and eaves.
• Single-cable PoE install: power and video travel over one Ethernet cable (IEEE 802.3af). On top of that, the threaded connector is waterproof.
• Privacy masking and smart compression: you can block sensitive areas and, in addition, store up to 50% more video on your recorder.

AvertX HD420 Bullet Camera Specifications

First, here are the full specs for the AvertX HD420 bullet camera, taken from the AvertX data sheet.

Is the AvertX HD420 Bullet Camera Right for You?

The HD420 is built for plug-and-play use with AvertX ProConnect recorders, which find the camera and start recording on their own. It is also ONVIF Profile S compliant, so it can work with many third-party NVRs and video software. However, some features and automatic setup may be limited outside the AvertX lineup.

For example, the AvertX HD420 is a great match if you already run an AvertX system or need to replace a failed HD420. It also fits anyone who wants a rugged cold-weather bullet camera. Optional AvertX junction box and pole mounts for the AvertX HD420 bullet camera are sold separately.

Why Choose This 4MP PoE Bullet Camera and AvertX Outdoor Security Camera

For an outdoor IP camera with night vision that stays small on the wall, the AvertX HD420 is a smart pick. This 4MP PoE bullet camera runs on one cable and sees up to 100 ft in the dark. Even better, it keeps working through hard freezes.

As an AvertX outdoor security camera, it also pairs right away with ProConnect recorders. Of course, you can check every detail on the official AvertX HD420 spec page.

AvertX HD420 Bullet Camera FAQ

What resolution is the AvertX HD420?

The AvertX HD420 records at 4MP (2592 x 1520). Some listings online quote 1920 x 1440 or call it 4K. However, AvertX’s spec sheet lists 4MP.

Does it need a power adapter?

No. The AvertX HD420 is powered only by PoE (IEEE 802.3af), so plug it into a PoE recorder, PoE switch, or PoE injector. In other words, it does not run on 12V.

Is there a microSD card slot?

No. Instead, the AvertX HD420 bullet camera records to your NVR. If you want on-camera backup, then the AvertX HD820 dome has a microSD slot.

Will it work with a non-AvertX NVR?

It is ONVIF Profile S compliant, so many third-party NVRs can record it. Still, AvertX suggests checking with their support before pairing it with other brands.

Is it OK in freezing weather?

Yes, because the built-in heater lets this AvertX outdoor security camera operate and start up at temperatures as low as -35°F.

Does it require a subscription?

No. The AvertX HD420 records and streams through your NVR with no monthly fee. As a result, it is an affordable outdoor IP camera with night vision for any home or business.
