Honeywell HC35CE5R3 5MP Full Color Eyeball Camera
Overview
The Honeywell HC35CE5R3 is a 5MP full color eyeball camera built around a fixed 2.8mm lens, designed to run over wired Ethernet in commercial and warehouse environments. The 35 Series positioning targets facilities that need dependable, always-on color imaging without the added complexity of a managed wireless deployment. For integrators speccing warehouse coverage — dock doors, aisles, receiving areas — the HC35CE5R3 fits as a straightforward, wired eyeball unit that ties into existing PoE and network infrastructure.
Key Features
- 5MP Resolution: delivers enough pixel density for identification-grade detail on faces and activity within typical eyeball camera coverage zones — useful when you need more than basic verification-level footage.
- 2.8mm Fixed Lens: a wide-angle field of view suited to covering broad areas like warehouse aisles or loading zones from a single mounting point, reducing the camera count needed to cover open floor space.
- Full Color Imaging: keeps footage in color rather than switching to monochrome, which matters when color detail (vehicle color, clothing, packaging) is part of what you need to identify after an incident.
- Wired Ethernet Interface: runs on a hardwired network connection rather than Wi-Fi, which means more predictable uptime and no wireless interference concerns in a warehouse full of metal racking and RF noise from other equipment.
- Eyeball Form Factor: the adjustable eyeball housing lets you angle the lens after mounting, which speeds up commissioning versus a fixed-position camera when the exact sightline isn't nailed down in advance.
Integration & Compatibility
The HC35CE5R3 is listed as compatible with warehouse deployments and connects over standard wired Ethernet, making it straightforward to fold into an existing structured cabling plan alongside other Honeywell IP cameras. If you're planning coverage across a facility, pairing it with a networked recorder from the network video recorder lineup keeps footage centralized and searchable. For teams still mapping out camera counts and placement, a camera selection guide is a useful reference before finalizing a bill of materials. This model also lists optional bundle accessories — HA35CLM01 and HA35PCM04B — for integrators who want to configure mount or power accessories alongside the camera at time of order, and it pairs naturally with a PoE switch to simplify power and data over a single cable run.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What resolution does the HC35CE5R3 record at?
A: The HC35CE5R3 is a 5MP camera, recording in full color rather than switching to monochrome mode.
Q: Does the HC35CE5R3 support wireless connectivity?
A: No. The HC35CE5R3 is a wired Ethernet device only — it does not support Wi-Fi.
Q: What lens does the HC35CE5R3 use?
A: It ships with a fixed 2.8mm lens, providing a wide field of view suited to broad-area coverage.
Q: Is the HC35CE5R3 suited for warehouse use?
A: Yes, it is listed as compatible with warehouse deployment environments.
Q: What warranty comes with the HC35CE5R3?
A: The HC35CE5R3 carries a manufacturer warranty; contact the manufacturer for specific duration terms.
Q: Are there optional accessories available for the HC35CE5R3?
A: Yes, optional bundle accessories HA35CLM01 and HA35PCM04B are available to pair with this camera.
The HC35CE5R3 crosses my desk most often for warehouse retrofits where the ask is simple: wide coverage, color detail, no wireless headaches. At 5MP with a 2.8mm fixed lens, it's built to cover more floor area per camera than a narrower telephoto unit would, which keeps camera counts down on long aisle runs.
Technical Highlights:
- 5MP Sensor: gives you identification-grade detail rather than just movement verification, which matters if footage ever needs to support an incident review.
- 2.8mm Fixed Lens: wide field of view trades reach for coverage — right call for aisles and open floor, wrong call if you need to resolve detail at long throw distances.
- Wired Ethernet Interface: no wireless variable to troubleshoot later, which is one less failure point in a facility with a lot of metal racking and RF interference.
Deployment Considerations:
- Because this is a wired-only unit, confirm cable runs and PoE switch capacity are planned before install day — there's no wireless fallback if a drop gets missed.
- The fixed 2.8mm lens means field of view isn't adjustable after purchase — if you're not sure of throw distance, work out sightlines before ordering rather than after mounting.
I'd spec the HC35CE5R3 for warehouse aisle and dock-area coverage where wide field of view and reliable wired uptime matter more than long-distance zoom detail.
