CX4BE08F28PW - First Alert CX4B Indoor/Outdoor 8MP AI Bullet PoE Security Camera, 2.8mm Fixed Lens
First Alert CX4B Product Description:
The First Alert CX4B (Part Number: CX4BE08F28PW) is an indoor/outdoor 8MP AI bullet PoE security camera built for both business and residential protection. With an ultra-HD 8MP sensor and a 2.8mm fixed lens, it delivers crisp, detailed video while the bullet-style housing provides a more visible, deterrent presence. Its shape is especially effective for longer, narrower sightlines, making it a strong fit for driveways, corridors, hallways, and perimeter fencing where you want focused coverage with fewer blind spots.
Designed to help you find what matters fast, the CX4B includes AI smart search for quick video clip retrieval, along with intelligent threat detection and advanced on-camera AI analytics that reduce nuisance alerts and surface more relevant events. For complete coverage, it supports continuous recording, and pairs that with event-based cloud storage so key moments are easier to access and manage. You also get flexible storage at the edge with support for up to 1TB via MicroSDXC (card not included), giving you options for different retention needs and installation scenarios.
Setup is streamlined with dual power options, PoE (Power over Ethernet) for a single-cable install, or 12VDC for traditional power, plus quick enrollment using the AlarmNet 360® app. The CX4B integrates with ProSeries and VISTA® H security panels supported by scalable AlarmNet 360® Plans, and connects seamlessly to Total Connect® 2.0 (web and app) so video and intrusion can be managed in one place. Features like video event filtering and a timeline scrubber make reviewing continuous footage or jumping to event clips simple, while encrypted video transmission and storage support secure cloud management and easy scalability as your system grows.
