UNIVIEW BULLET 4MP 30M IR 2.8MM COLORHUNTER Bullet CCTV Camera
The UNIVIEW BULLET 4MP 30M IR 2.8MM COLORHUNTER is a bullet camera for security and surveillance. It is part of the CCTV bullet camera category and is made by UNIVIEW, a brand known for IP video surveillance equipment. The bullet design is one of the most common camera shapes used for fixed monitoring, because it is compact, visible and simple to mount on a wall, pole or bracket.
This camera is a good choice when you want a clear image of a fixed area. Its 4 megapixel sensor records more detail than a standard definition camera, which helps when you need to identify people, vehicles or small objects in the picture.

What the specifications mean
Megapixels (MP) describe how many pixels the image contains. Four megapixels give a sharper picture than two megapixels or lower, especially when you zoom in on a recording. The lens size of 2.8 mm controls the field of view. A 2.8 mm lens is a wide lens, so it covers a broad area at short to medium distance. Infrared (IR) is light that the human eye cannot see. The camera uses it to light the scene in darkness, and the 30 metre rating tells you the approximate distance at which the infrared light still gives a usable image.
Typical uses
Bullet cameras like this one are often installed at the front door, on a driveway or garden, at the side of a building or over a loading area. They are also used inside shops, warehouses and offices where a visible camera deters unwanted visitors. The 2.8 mm lens makes it useful for covering an entrance, a corridor or a yard from a fixed point.
Installation and setup
Plan the position before mounting. Choose a spot where the camera can see the area you want to watch, without strong light pointing straight into the lens. Make sure the camera is at a height where people in view can be seen clearly. Check the cable route and power supply before you fix the bracket. Any camera that is used for security should be set up in line with local privacy rules, so think about what the camera will and will not record.
Image quality and night use
In daylight the camera records colour images. At night the infrared illumination takes over, which gives a clear black and white picture within the rated distance. Objects far beyond 30 metres will be darker or harder to see. Keeping the lens clean and avoiding reflective surfaces in the frame will help the image stay clear in all conditions.
Who this camera is for
This product suits home owners, small businesses, property managers and installers who need a dependable fixed camera for general monitoring. It also fits into a larger CCTV system with other UNIVIEW or compatible cameras and a network video recorder.
