When you order a Sophos license from us please make sure you include the license number or current hardware appliance serial number. Licenses generally take around 24 - 36 working hours to be issued after order.

In some instances you may find we show out of stock for certain hardware models. This is fairly normal and reflects the fact, often that we have to place what is called a back to back order. When you order with us, we order with Sophos and the unit is shipped in to the country. Please allow around 10 working days where we show as out of stock.

The WatchAI 8MP Smart Dual Light Active Deterrence Bullet Network Camera (SKU: IPCAM-BF8250-2.8) is an intelligent 8MP AI security camera built for proactive protection. It combines ultra-high-definition 3840 × 2160 video, smart human and vehicle detection, dual infrared and warm light night illumination and red and blue warning lights in a single weather-resistant bullet network camera.
