FLIR Quasar-Ultra HD 2MP IP Bullet Camera

FLIR Quasar-Ultra HD 2MP IP Bullet Camera

The FLIR Quasar-Ultra is a professional-grade outdoor IP bullet camera designed for integrators and security professionals who need reliable, flexible surveillance without complexity. Built with a varifocal 3.6–10mm lens, sealed optics rated for outdoor environments, and straightforward ONVIF Profile S compatibility, this camera delivers consistent 1080p HD imaging across a wide range of lighting conditions. The compact bullet form factor mounts securely to walls or ceilings, making it ideal for commercial, industrial, and perimeter security installations where durability and field-of-view adaptability are critical.

Key Features

Ideal Applications

The Quasar-Ultra excels in mid-range surveillance deployments where variable field-of-view and environmental tolerance matter more than extreme low-light sensitivity or pan-tilt capability. Common use cases include perimeter fencing, parking areas, building facades, warehouse entrances, and industrial yards. The varifocal lens reduces SKU inventory and simplifies logistics for multi-site deployments, while PoE integration streamlines cabling and power distribution. At 30 fps, the camera supports both live monitoring and forensic review without requiring excessive bandwidth or storage.

The varifocal lens is the Quasar-Ultra's primary differentiator. Rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all fixed lens, integrators can optimize coverage on-site—critical for installations where final sightlines cannot be confirmed during planning. The H.264 codec and PoE delivery reflect mature, vendor-neutral standards that work across virtually any modern NVR or VMS, minimizing vendor lock-in and future compatibility risk.

This camera is purpose-built for environments where durability and simplicity outweigh advanced features. If your project requires thermal imaging, extreme low-light performance without supplemental IR, or active pan-tilt-zoom functionality, a different platform is warranted. However, for straightforward outdoor surveillance in mixed daylight conditions with standard exposure control, the Quasar-Ultra represents a cost-effective, proven solution with no unnecessary complexity.

PoE simplification also reduces installation labor and ongoing maintenance—a single Ethernet run replaces separate power and data lines. This advantage compounds across multi-camera deployments, making the Quasar-Ultra particularly attractive for new construction or large-scale system refresh projects where cable runs are already planned.
