ABUS 2 MP Wi-Fi PTZ Mini Dome — Pan, Tilt and Zoom Without Pulling a Cable
2 MP PTZ4x optical zoomWi-Fi or PoEIP66 · IK10
The ABUS TVIP82561 is a compact 2 MP pan-tilt-zoom dome camera that can connect either by cable with PoE or over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. It suits small businesses, shops and homes that want to look around a yard, car park or warehouse and zoom in on detail, from the ABUS Link Station app or a recorder.
The 2.8–12 mm motorised lens gives 4x optical zoom, the head pans 355° at up to 100°/s and can store 300 preset positions. Built-in analytics such as intrusion, tripwire and unattended object send alerts by e-mail or push notification, and recordings can go to microSD, an ABUS NVR or a NAS.
Before you order: In Wi-Fi mode the camera still needs power: a separate 12 V DC supply is required and ABUS does not list one as included. With a cable, a single PoE 802.3af port powers it and carries the data.
What's in the Box
- ABUS TVIP82561 2 MP Wi-Fi PTZ mini dome camera, white
- ABUS does not publish a detailed scope of delivery; the optional mounting bracket is ABUS accessory TVAC31530
- Power supply for Wi-Fi use, microSD card and recorder are not listed as included
What It Means in Practice
- On PoE you run one network cable: power, video and control together.
- On Wi-Fi you save the data cable but still need a power outlet near the camera, and 2.4 GHz coverage at the mounting point.
- Use presets to jump between a gate, a door and a parking space; the camera returns to them precisely.
- The free Link Station Lite plan includes 60 minutes of remote streaming per month; Link Station Pro removes the limit.
What Will Not Work
- Wi-Fi is 2.4 GHz only — a 5 GHz-only network will not work.
- Pan is 355°, not continuous 360° rotation.
- There is a built-in microphone but no loudspeaker, so no talk-back.
- No dedicated alarm inputs or outputs are listed.
- ABUS lists it as not compatible with Secvest, Smartvest and wAppLoxx systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use it with Wi-Fi and no cable at all?
You can drop the network cable, but the camera always needs power. In Wi-Fi mode plan for a 12 V DC supply and a socket near the camera.
Does it work with recorders from other brands?
ABUS publishes compatibility with its own TVVR33/36 and NVR recorders. For other recorders send us the model and we will check before you order.
Is remote viewing free?
Yes, with ABUS Link Station Lite, which includes 60 minutes of streaming per month; Link Station Pro gives unlimited streaming.
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
A PTZ dome makes sense when one camera must watch several spots and zoom in when something happens. For permanent, reliable recording we still prefer PoE over Wi-Fi; one of our
PoE switches powers it with a single cable.
✓ Buy it if you want to pan, tilt and zoom around a yard, shop or warehouse from your phone, with PoE or Wi-Fi.
✕ Skip it if you need continuous 360° rotation, talk-back audio or 5 GHz Wi-Fi.
→ Also consider ABUS TVIP42510 fixed 2 MP dome for areas that only need one fixed view.
Not sure Wi-Fi reaches the mounting point? Send us your router or access point model and the distance, and we will check before you order.
