Code Blue 41414 Security Bit 2-Pack
The Code Blue 41414 is a dual-pack sealed security accessory designed for PoE-powered surveillance installations where environmental durability and infrared capability are non-negotiable. Each unit delivers 850nm infrared night vision with IP68 environmental protection, eliminating moisture and dust ingress in both indoor and outdoor field deployments. This is not a camera—it's a rugged edge component that integrates into broader Code Blue surveillance systems and standard 802.3af infrastructure.
Key Features
- PoE Power (802.3af): Draws power from any standards-compliant PoE switch or injector without requiring a separate power supply or external wiring. This simplifies cable runs and keeps your switch power budget predictable—critical when scaling deployments across dozens of field locations.
- IP68 Environmental Rating: Sealed against complete dust ingress and immersion up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes. Skip this if you only need rain protection (IP66 suffices for that)—but for washdown environments, damp crawlspaces, or outdoor cable termination points, IP68 eliminates corrosion and downtime from moisture.
- 850nm Infrared Night Vision: Active IR illumination enables night identification and surveillance without visible light—necessary for covert or low-light industrial spaces, warehouse perimeters, and loading docks where continuous 24/7 monitoring matters.
- Dual-Pack Deployment: Includes two units, letting you standardize across paired installations, redundant coverage zones, or split deployments across separate facility zones without second-shipment delays.
- PoE Infrastructure Integration: Compatible with any IEEE 802.3af-compliant network switch, injector, or PoE-enabled NVR. No proprietary controllers or special firmware required—plug it into your existing network video recorder or switching infrastructure.
Deployment Context
The 41414 works best in warehouse automation, perimeter monitoring, and industrial surveillance setups where sealed connectors, edge processing, and rugged form factors prevent environmental failure. Integrators standardizing on PoE across cameras, access-control readers, and field devices will find the 41414's power and compatibility model consistent with enterprise surveillance architectures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the 41414 work with standard Ethernet switches?
A: Yes. The 41414 operates on any IEEE 802.3af PoE switch or PoE injector. No special controllers or branded equipment required.
Q: What's the difference between IP67 and IP68?
A: IP68 allows full immersion (up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes); IP67 allows temporary partial immersion only. For washdown bays or underwater cable termination, IP68 is necessary. For outdoor rain-only exposure, IP67 is sufficient.
Q: Can I use the 41414 with my existing NVR?
A: If your NVR has a PoE-capable Ethernet port or an attached PoE switch, yes. Confirm your NVR supports 802.3af power delivery before deployment.
Q: Is the 850nm IR visible to the human eye?
A: No. 850nm infrared is invisible to human sight but recorded clearly by surveillance equipment. This allows covert monitoring in spaces where visible light would be disruptive or raise security concerns.
Q: What's the warranty on the 41414?
A: Refer to your distributor or the manufacturer's warranty documentation. Typical industrial security components carry 1–3 year coverage; confirm coverage with your purchase order.
Q: Can the 41414 survive submersion?
A: IP68 allows immersion up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes. Extended underwater use or permanent submersion is not recommended. For long-term underwater mounting, consult the manufacturer for specialized sealed housings.
James EverettPerspective based on aggregated IP Security Depot and affiliated engineering team experience.
I treat the Code Blue 41414 as a sealed edge component, not a full-feature camera. If your deployment includes PoE field devices, outdoor termination points, or washdown zones where standard connectors fail, the 41414's IP68 rating eliminates corrosion downtime. The dual-pack means you're not ordering twice for paired redundancy or zone splits—a practical detail when coordinating multi-site installations.
Technical Highlights:
- IP68 Immersion Rating: Tolerates full dust sealing and immersion to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes—a real advantage over IP67 in environments where cable jackets and connector backshells face standing water, washdown spray, or muddy installation conditions. Most field deployments settle for IP67; this one goes deeper when needed.
- 850nm Active IR Night Vision: Provides invisible infrared surveillance without visible LED glow—critical for covert warehouse perimeter monitoring or facilities where bright visible IR would compromise security protocols or aesthetics.
- PoE (802.3af) Power Draw: Operates on standard low-power PoE infrastructure without exhausting switch budgets. Typical 802.3af allocates 15.4W per port; the 41414 leaves headroom for parallel deployments on dense switches.
Deployment Considerations:
- The 41414 is a sealed accessory component, not a standalone camera. Pair it with PoE switch provisioning guides and confirm your NVR or edge processor supports 802.3af delivery before installation.
- IP68 immersion rating applies to the housing only. Connector weatherproofing depends on mated cable termination—use rated weatherproof connectors and strain relief for outdoor cable runs.
Position the 41414 in warehouse automation, industrial perimeter security, and multi-zone PoE deployments where sealed, low-power, IR-capable field components prevent environmental failure and simplify cable infrastructure. It's not a camera replacement—it's a bulletproof edge accessory that survives where standard connectors corrode.
