Clare white IP cameras connect to a surveillance network through Ethernet, with many models supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE) for video and power over one cable, while select models support Wi-Fi. They can operate with a compatible NVR, use local micro SD storage with a mobile app, or integrate with Clare One and Control4 smart home systems.

Fixed-lens Clare white IP cameras use a set focal length, which provides a consistent viewing angle after installation. Varifocal cameras let installers adjust the viewing angle and zoom, with motorized autofocus available on several models to help frame changing scene requirements.

Clare white IP cameras with microSD card support can record video locally, with many models supporting cards up to 512 GB and some including onboard storage. This setup lets installers configure standalone recording and access live or saved footage through the Clare Vision app without a network video recorder.

Compare whether the camera uses infrared night vision or Color at Night imaging, along with its low-light sensor, lens aperture, supplemental warm-white lighting, and stated illumination range. Also review resolution, wide dynamic range, and whether a fixed or motorized varifocal lens better suits the scene you need to monitor in changing light.
