VIGI 8MP Outdoor Full-Color Bullet Network Camera (2.8mm)

2.8mm VIGI 8MP Outdoor Bullet Network Camera – Wide-Angle 4K Surveillance for Expansive Coverage

When securing large outdoor areas, field of view matters as much as resolution. The VIGI 8MP Outdoor Full-Color Bullet Network Camera with 2.8mm fixed lens—model VIGI C385(2.8mm)—combines 4K Ultra HD clarity with an expansive 111.4° horizontal viewing angle, delivering comprehensive coverage that reduces the total cameras needed for complete property surveillance .

The bullet form factor serves two critical purposes: its visible profile acts as an immediate deterrent to potential intruders, while its extended housing enables more powerful illumination and superior heat dissipation for reliable 24/7 operation. This is perimeter security that works proactively rather than merely documenting incidents after they occur .

111° Wide-Angle Coverage: See More With Fewer Cameras

The 2.8mm focal length is purpose-built for wide-area monitoring. With a horizontal field of view spanning 111.4° and a diagonal reach of 134°, a single camera can effectively cover an entire parking bay, loading zone, or backyard expanse . For security planners, this means reduced hardware costs and simplified cable runs without sacrificing situational awareness.

DORI specifications for the 2.8mm configuration are as follows:

• Detection: Up to 85 meters (identifying a human figure entering the frame)

• Observation: Up to 35 meters (noting characteristic details and behavior)

• Recognition: Up to 17 meters (identifying a known individual)

• Identification: Up to 8 meters (forensic-quality facial detail)

These metrics confirm the 2.8mm variant as the optimal choice for broad surveillance of yards, parking areas, retail exteriors, and warehouse perimeters where capturing the full scene takes priority over long-distance zoom.

4K Resolution With 24/7 Full-Color Night Vision

Resolution determines evidentiary value. The camera captures at a maximum 3840 x 2160 (8 megapixels)—four times the detail of 1080p. The 1/2.7″ progressive scan CMOS sensor achieves a minimum illumination rating of just 0.005 lux, enabling usable color imaging even in challenging low-light conditions .

Two high-intensity white LED illuminators project visible light up to 30 meters, ensuring full-color footage continues long after sunset. For covert monitoring scenarios, dual IR LEDs provide the same 30-meter range in traditional monochrome mode. Users can configure illumination behavior through flexible scheduling, auto-switching based on ambient light thresholds, or smart event triggers .

Smart Detection That Filters False Alerts

False alarms erode trust in any security system. The VIGI C385 employs deep-learning algorithms to power Human & Vehicle Classification, distinguishing between genuine security events and environmental noise like foliage movement or small animals .

Configurable smart events include:

• Intrusion Detection: Triggers when persons or vehicles enter user-defined zones

• Line-Crossing Detection: Activates when virtual boundaries are breached

• Region Entering/Exiting: Monitors directional movement through specified areas

• Loitering Detection: Alerts when individuals remain in sensitive zones beyond defined thresholds

• Object Abandoned/Removal Detection: Identifies when items appear or disappear from monitored scenes

Each event type supports independent response actions, enabling tailored security postures that vary by location and time of day.

Active Deterrence and Two-Way Communication

Detection alone is insufficient—response capability completes the security equation. The camera integrates three layers of active deterrence:

1. Audible Warning: A built-in speaker can emit verbal alerts or alarm tones when smart events trigger

2. White Light Flashing: Programmable illumination draws immediate attention to intrusion zones

3. Two-Way Audio: The integrated microphone and speaker enable real-time communication with visitors or verbal warnings to trespassers via the VIGI mobile app

Professional-Grade Durability and Flexible Deployment

Engineered for year-round outdoor operation, the camera carries IP67 waterproof certification, protecting against dust ingress and water immersion. The metal housing withstands operating temperatures from -30°C to 60°C, ensuring reliable performance from winter storms to summer heatwaves .

Power options include standard PoE (802.3af/at) for single-cable installation simplicity or 12V DC for legacy infrastructure. The onboard MicroSD slot supports cards up to 256GB for edge recording redundancy, while ONVIF compliance (Profile S) guarantees compatibility with third-party NVRs and VMS platforms .

H.265+ Compression Efficiency

Bandwidth and storage costs accumulate rapidly with 4K video. The camera’s H.265+ codec reduces bitrate by up to 57.5% compared to H.264 while preserving equivalent visual quality—a critical advantage for multi-camera deployments with extended retention requirements .

Ideal Deployment Scenarios

• Parking Lots: The 111° FOV covers broad paved areas while capturing license plates and vehicle descriptions

• Backyards and Residential Perimeters: Wide-angle coverage minimizes blind spots along property lines

• Retail Store Exteriors: The visible bullet profile deters smash-and-grab attempts before they occur

• Loading Docks: Comprehensive coverage of truck bays and delivery zones with full-color night visibility

• Warehouse Exteriors: Rugged IP67 construction withstands industrial environments
