IMOU BULLET 3MP (2.8 MM) - WI-FI/ETHERNET IP CAMERA
Description Imou Bullet 3MP
A classic bullet shape for point-specific control
Imou Bullet 3MP is a directional camera: its elongated housing immediately shows where the lens is aimed, which on its own acts as a visible surveillance signal to anyone approaching the monitored spot. Unlike dome models, there's no guessing about the field of view — one look at the housing tells you the coverage zone.
Where this camera is actually used
This model fits well at a private property's driveway, a side path near a house, the entrance to a small shop or workshop, or parking in front of an office. Dual connectivity — Wi-Fi or Ethernet — lets the same model work both where a cable is already run and where one isn't available yet.
What problem this camera actually solves
The main challenge with point control at a driveway or entrance is either too generic a view where a person can't be identified, or a loss of quality at night. Bullet 3MP solves both: analytics flags a person and a vehicle across an 82° field of view, and effective illumination up to 30 m keeps detail intact after dark. Animal detection isn't supported on this model, so alerts stay focused on people and vehicles — the events most relevant at an entry point.
3 MP, continuous recording, and local storage
A 1/2.7" CMOS sensor with a 2.8 mm lens and H.265/H.264 encoding delivers a clear picture at a moderate archive size. MicroSD support up to 256 GB and continuous recording mean the owner keeps a full event archive, not just selective clips, and can review it even without a connection to the manufacturer's cloud.
IP67 for both frost and heat
An IP67 rating and an operating range of -30°C to +60°C are figures built for a genuine outdoor install, not a "keep it under a canopy" disclaimer. The housing holds up to direct rain, snow, and a hot summer equally well, powered through DC 12 V / 1 A or a PoE connection.
The Imou Life app and open protocols
Control happens in the Imou Life app on Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, with ONVIF, RTSP, and FTP support for an archive outside the cloud, plus Home Assistant integration for a smart home on a different platform.
Practical savings across several spots
Thanks to dual connectivity, a single Bullet 3MP model covers several types of spots on one site — where Ethernet exists and where running a cable isn't practical — without needing to order different cameras for each mounting scenario.
The right mounting height solves half the battle
For point control of a driveway or entrance, recognition quality depends far less on megapixels than on installation height and angle: too high, and a face enters the frame at an awkward downward angle; too low, and the camera is easy to bump or cover with a hand. Best practice for Bullet 3MP is mounting at 2–2.5 m with a slight downward tilt, giving a clear frontal view of a person or vehicle passing by.
Who this model is for
Bullet 3MP suits an owner who needs a clear, directed view of one specific driveway or entrance, with flexible connectivity and a full local archive that doesn't require a mandatory cloud subscription.
