EZVIZ H8c PoE 3MP Pan-Tilt Network Camera｜350° Panoramic View｜Auto Tracking｜PoE Single-Cable Connection

2K 2304×1296（3MP）｜350°／80° Pan/Tilt｜Auto Tracking｜30 m Infrared｜PoE／DC 12V｜Up to 30fps

Product Overview

The H8c PoE combines PoE power supply with pan-and-tilt functionality: a single network cable handles both power and data transmission, while the camera can rotate 350° horizontally and 80° vertically, with support for auto tracking. It is ideal for locations where “one camera needs to cover a large area” — such as an entire car park, a long corridor, or the area outside a storefront.

The specifications on this page were extracted field by field from EZVIZ’s official H8c PoE 2K product page: Model “CS-H8c PoE (2K)”, 1/2.8" Progressive Scan CMOS, 4mm F1.6（104° diagonal／89° horizontal／49° vertical）, 350°／80° pan/tilt, up to 2304×1296, up to 30fps, H.265／H.264, 30 m／98ft infrared, RJ45 × 1, DC 12V／1A or PoE, up to 12W, 100×136×140mm, net weight 525g.

One name needs to be clarified: the official page labels it “2K”, while our store title says “3MP”. They refer to the same specification（2304×1296＝3MP）. This page states the official figures directly, so customers do not need to convert them manually.

H8c PoE Camera Body (Official Image)

Six Key Highlights

Pan/Tilt＋PoE: Cover a Wide Area with One Cable

The 350° horizontal pan is almost a full circle, leaving only a 10° blind spot at the back, while the 80° vertical tilt allows the camera to view higher positions from ground level. Combined with a single PoE cable, you can install it at a high point and cover the entire area through rotation, without having to install several cameras in different locations.

The same limitation also applies: the image is not continuous while the camera is rotating, so recordings may contain “jump cuts”. If you need uninterrupted 24/7 footage from a fixed angle, a fixed-lens camera is more reliable.

• Almost 360° coverage
• One PoE cable handles both power and data transmission
• Image is not continuous while rotating

Auto Tracking: Practical Benefits and Limitations

The official specifications state that Auto Tracking is supported. After detecting a person, the camera automatically turns and follows them. In situations where someone walks across a large open area, it can continuously capture their movements without requiring manual control.

The limitation is that other areas are left unattended during tracking; if multiple people appear at the same time, the camera can only follow one person. Therefore, auto tracking is best suited to open areas with a single flow of movement, rather than busy entrances with heavy foot traffic.

• Supports Auto Tracking
• Suitable for open areas with a single flow of movement
• Other areas are unattended during tracking

2K and 4mm Lens

The official specifications state up to 2304×1296（3MP／2K）and a 4mm F1.6 lens, with a 104° diagonal／89° horizontal／49° vertical field of view. This combination offers a balanced “clear enough wherever you turn” experience: the wide angle is sufficient to cover a parking space while retaining detail in the distance.

The same official model is also available in a 6mm version（62° diagonal）, which is suitable for more distant corridors. This store’s SKU suffix is -4MM, indicating the 4mm version.

• Native 3MP at 2304×1296
• 4mm, 89° horizontal field of view
• 6mm version also available

30fps and 30 m Infrared

The official specifications state up to 30fps（automatically adjusted during network transmission）. 30fps is more effective for “capturing movement clearly” than simply increasing the pixel count — footage at 15fps may show ghosting when someone walks quickly past, and increased resolution cannot correct ghosting.

The infrared range reaches up to 30 m／98ft, making it suitable for outdoor use; actual face identification is approximately within 10–15 m.

• Up to 30fps
• 30 m Infrared（face identification at 10–15 m）
• Smoother motion footage

IP rating: Officially stated only as Weatherproof Design

The official IP Grade field says “Weatherproof Design” and does not specify a particular IP65／IP66／IP67 rating. We report it as stated and do not upgrade the official specification.

Practical assessment: This usually means it can handle normal rain. However, pan-and-tilt cameras have more joints and moving parts than fixed cameras, so the long-term risk of direct exposure to heavy rain is higher. Installation under an eave or in a sheltered location is recommended.

• No specific IP rating stated officially
• More joints on the pan-and-tilt unit; additional shelter recommended
• Not recommended for prolonged direct exposure to heavy rain

12W power consumption and system compatibility

The official maximum is 12W, which is relatively high for this series due to the pan-and-tilt motor, infrared, and 30fps. If you use a PoE injector, please make sure it provides sufficient power — 12W requires approximately 802.3af (15.4W)-class power, and very cheap injectors may not be sufficient.

Supports microSD cards up to 512GB and can also work with an EZVIZ NVR for centralized recording. The official in-box contents are listed as: camera, drill template, screw kit, waterproof kit, regulatory information, and quick start guide.

• Maximum 12W; 802.3af-class power supply required
• microSD up to 512GB
• NVR compatible
