Do you need to keep an eye on something?
The Lookout Mini 5.0 is the perfect surveillance camera for any covert operation. It’s small enough to be hidden in plain sight, but powerful enough to get up close with a 4x zoom capability and see what’s going on from afar without being seen. This version has also been fitted with a white LED light as well as a red/white “siren style” light when day changes to night. Stealthy at 10FT and quick enough to catch thieves when they are completely unaware (at 30FT) The lookout name says it all.
You can use your finger or mouse wheel to control the PTZ remotely, so you never have to leave your desk or stop working while keeping an eye on things. With our free app available for both iOS and Android devices, you can watch live video feeds from anywhere in the world! And if that wasn't cool enough already, we offer lifetime customer service through email and phone call - just in case anything goes wrong with your device!

Detect someone up to 200 feet
"Detecting" a face means being able to tell that a human face is in the picture.
Recognize someone up to 150 feet
"Recognizing" a face refers to being able to say "I have seen that person before" - even if you don't know or can't place who it is.
Identify someone up to 85 feet
"Identification" refers to being able to make out identifiable marks with enough certainty to make a sketch or claim.
What makes the Lookout Mini Unique:
Pan, Tilt and Zoom Controls
This camera can Pan left to right, Tilt up and Down, and Zoom in and Out. You can control it with an of our software interfaces: our PC/Mac Software, Webview, or by using the NVR itself. A physical joystick is not required.
You can pan 345 degrees on the Lookout Mini. Once you get to the "end" of the pan you will have to turn the opposite way. Pan speed: is 50°/s, Tilt range is 90°
Presets, Patrols and Patterns
This PTZ can save and perform Presets, Patrols, and Patterns.
Presets are preset positions of the PTZ. For example, you could save the driveway that you have to drive through to enter your property as a preset. Upon telling the camera to view that preset, your PTZ will move to look at that area and then zoom in to the level defined by your preset. You can define 255 presets.
Patrols are a series of presets with a defined amount of time spent at each. Unlike Patterns, where the movement is part of the process, patrols are used to quickly move from point A to point B. A patrol is often used to check important entry points of buildings repeatedly - look at the warehouse bay, then the front door, then the loading dock, etc.
Patterns are recorded movements you can replay, and are like macros that can be performed at any time. For example, you could have a Pattern that involves zooming in rapidly to a preset level of zoom and then zooming back out again that you use to ID faces at distance or zoom in on licence plates. Another popular macro style is to create one that moves the PTZ at a steady speed along a predetermined route; patterns like this can be very valuable for following a product on an assembly line or the flow of traffic. Patterns can also be used to slowly pan across a field or other action where the points of interest are not known in advance.
A total of 16 Patrols and Patterns can be stored.
Patterns and Patrols can be performed automatically.
Active Deterrence
This camera features a built in red/blue light that activates based on VCA intrusion or cross line detection. The camera can also sound 10 preset warnings from the built in speaker such as "You are in the alert area, please leave". Great for areas where people should not be - alert and deter people from entering!
Weatherproof Housing
This camera has a Weatherproof Housing.
It has been rated at IP66 which means that International Electrotechnical Commission’s (IEC) international standard 60529 has rated this camera housing as having full protection from dust and safe from water damage up to powerful jets of water (but not immersion).
This camera can be safely used outdoors.
Attention: The IP66 rating covers the camera's housing not the cable. Please follow our RJ45 Waterproofing guide for weatherizing your cable connections.
Admiral Line Camera Features:
Plug & Play with Admiral & Imperial NVRs
This camera will plug and play with our Admiral and Imperial line of NVRs.
Please note that our camera models with model numbers in the 26xxx format record in the new, more efficient H.265 compression codex and are intended to work with our Imperial and Admiral NVRs.
Event Recording Mode through Video Content Analysis (VCA)
This camera features AI enhanced Intrusion Detection and Line Crossing. These VCA options can be set to filter by people or vehicles using the onboard AI enhanced chipset.
Covering, damaging, or moving the camera lens
In addition you can search your video footage for these events
*Each feature must be enabled and set up before it can be searched. Not all features can run at once.
Get Alerted when there's Motion
With this camera and an SCW Admiral or Imperial NVR, you can send Snapshot Email Alerts.
You can set up your recorder to email a series of pictures to you when motion is detected by one of your SCW cameras (or if one of our other VCA events is observed). You can choose specific dates and times for these alerts to be active and other times for these alerts to be ignored. Some Snapshot email options are based upon your current recording mode.
Motion Detection, Continuous, and Event Recording Modes
You can record your SCW cameras continuously, via motion, or even via VCA (video content analysis) events like intrusion detection.
You can create individual schedules for each camera, including hours for motion recording mode, hours for continuous recording mode, hours for event recording mode, or even hours when that camera is off completely.
Customizable Motion Detection Recording
With this camera and an SCW Admiral or Imperial NVR, you have video analytics-based motion detection.
Motion detection can also be used to send you email alerts when motion is detected or to record when recording on motion events. You can modify the sensitivity level so that more or less movement is required for the motion detection to trigger. You can create inclusion areas (places where you care if there is motion) and define the rest as exclusion areas (places where you don't care if there is motion). So, for example, you could create a motion based alert to notify you if someone was in your yard, but ignore them if they were on the sidewalk or in the street.
No Recording Delay; See What Happened before Motion was Detected
Many consumer-grade cameras use PIR sensors to trigger a camera to turn on when something gets close enough to the sensor. This is a bad design as there's a slight delay (0.5-3 seconds) that can cause the camera to not record what happened. Our cameras not only don't have a recording delay but allow you to record up to 30 seconds before the motion.
Don't miss out on important motion events: go back in time, before the event, to understand why it happened.
1 Click Firmware Update
Tired of chasing down firmware from the manufacturer, downloading the firmware, uploading the firmware to the device, and then restarting the device? Don't bother! This device checks for firmware and then downloads and installs it, itself, with one click.
3-Year Warranty
This camera has an industry leading 3-year warranty. This camera can also be upgraded to a 5-year warranty. The SCW team stands behind our products 100%!
Anti-Reflective Glass
This camera has Anti-Reflective Glass.
Anti-Reflective Glass allows better light transmission vs standard glass. Standard glass cameras often come with a foam ring around the lens to prevent infrared light from bouncing back off the glass and entering the lens. This bounce-back can cause extreme differences in infrared lighting, which makes some items too bright and others too washed out if the ring is loose, ripped, or removed. Anti-Reflective Glass prevents this issue. Also, people have a tendency to accidentally destroy, damage, throw away or lose these foam rings. Anti-Reflective Glass reduces maintenance and user error.
Auto Grade LEDs
This camera has Auto Grade LEDs.
Many IP cameras include low-quality infrared bulbs that fail over time. This camera has Automotive Grade LEDs, and you should expect the same sort of longevity from them as the headlights in your car.
Headlight Compensation
This camera has Headlight Compensation.
Vehicle headlights directly into the camera lens can render many cameras useless. Headlight compensation reduces glare and overexposure due to car headlights.
At SCW, we try not to use the misleading term "License Plate Camera." The term "License plate cameras" is used rather flippantly by the security camera industry, has no real definition as a term, and can sometimes mean simply the presence of HLC; be careful with companies offering a simple solution to a very complex task of capturing license plates.
For more info, please read our knowledge base article on What they don't tell you about License Plate Cameras.
See through Fog with Automatic Defog
This camera has Automatic Defog. Our automatic defog feature allows you to cut through fog, air pollution, and other atmospheric haze.
Adjustable Shutter Speed for Customizable Performance in Low Light
This camera has an Adjustable Shutter Speed in a range between 1/30s to 1/100,000 of a second.
The shutter in a camera controls how long the camera takes to take a picture, but faster doesn't mean better. The faster that a camera shutter opens and closes, the more likely that you will get a clear, blur-free image. The longer that the shutter is open, the more light you let in and the better your image will be in low light. Shutters that are open for an extremely long time allow you to take color pictures at night/twilight without having to switch to infrared mode, but can result in motion blur.
There's no one-size fits all approach to shutter speed, so we give you full control (and free tech support) to set it up the best way possible.
H.265 Recording
This device can record in H.265
H.265, also known as High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) or MPEG-H Part 2, is the video compression standard which replaces H.264. HEVC was a collaboration by many parties including Apple, Microsoft, Cisco, Dolby, and the Moving Picture Experts Group. In comparison to H.264, H.265 offers about double the data compression ratio at the same level of video quality, which means both substantially improved video quality at the same bitrate and lower storage requirements.
H.265 saves hard drive space and increases the quality of an image by splitting the screen into a grid and only updating the sections that changed from the previous frame. This focuses nearly all of the processing power of the camera on the areas of the screen with activity. The image quality differences of H.265 is most noticeable in situations such as attempting to watch your camera remotely if your internet upload speed is slow.
You can also record in H.264 if you need backwards compatibility.
ONVIF Conformant
This device is ONVIF Conformant.ONVIF is an open industry standard encoding language for the interface of IP-based physical security products.
POE (Power over Ethernet)
This camera can be powered via an ethernet cable.
POE allows a Cat5 cable to both carry data and power, making it so that you only have to run one cable. You will need either a POE injector, a POE switch or one of our NVRs with built-in SCWEasyConnect POE to power a camera via ethernet.
**There is an optional wall plug adapter on most of our camera models. This wall plug adapter is only used by clients who cannot run POE cables.
