A professional 4MP bullet camera designed to deliver detailed, full-color monitoring in challenging lighting conditions.
The LTS CMIP8CD42WI-28AISP combines AI Color 24/7 imaging, a large 1/1.8-inch sensor, an F1.0 aperture, and hybrid illumination to provide clearer video during the day and at night. Its 2.8mm fixed lens provides broad coverage for entrances, driveways, parking areas, building exteriors, and other important home or business locations.
Why installers choose this bullet camera
- Records clear 4MP video at up to 2688 × 1520 resolution and 30 frames per second.

Quick guidance
Choose the CMIP8CD42WI-28AISP when nighttime color detail, intelligent alerts, wide coverage, and outdoor durability are higher priorities than optical zoom. The fixed 2.8mm lens is best for monitoring broad areas at shorter to moderate distances. Confirm that your selected NVR supports the camera’s advanced AI, face capture, and Direct Search features before ordering.

1. Does the CMIP8CD42WI-28AISP record full-color video at night?
The camera uses AI Color 24/7 imaging, a large low-light sensor, an F1.0 aperture, and supplemental hybrid illumination to provide useful color video in very low-light conditions. Actual results depend on available lighting, mounting position, and scene conditions.
2. Can this camera detect people and vehicles separately?
Yes. The camera supports human and vehicle classification through MD 2.0 and VCA 3.0, helping reduce unnecessary alerts caused by movement that is not relevant to your security needs.
3. Does this camera require an NVR?
A compatible NVR is recommended for centralized recording, playback, remote viewing, and advanced search features. The camera also supports local microSD storage up to 512GB, but feature availability can depend on the recorder and system configuration.
