The First Alert CX4T (Part Numer: CX4TE08F28PW) indoor/outdoor 8MP AI Turret PoE security camera is built to deliver clear, reliable video protection for both homes and businesses. With an ultra-HD 8MP sensor and a 2.8mm fixed lens, it captures sharp detail while the turret form factor stays compact and low-profile. Its flexible mounting and adjustable aiming make it an excellent choice for coverage in stairways, entrances, driveways, parking lots, and other high-traffic areas where you want consistent visibility.
To help you focus on real activity, the CX4T uses on-camera AI video analytics for intelligent event detection and AI threat detection, reducing false alerts and delivering more meaningful notifications. It supports continuous recording for always-on coverage, plus event-based cloud storage for quick access to key moments. For additional storage flexibility, the camera also supports edge-based recording with up to 1TB via a MicroSDXC card (not included), giving you options that fit different sites and retention needs.
Installation is straightforward with dual power options, PoE (Power over Ethernet) for simplified wiring or 12VDC for traditional power, making it easy to deploy in a wide range of environments. Enrollment can be handled using the AlarmNet 360® app, and the camera integrates into a secure, scalable ecosystem through AlarmNet 360® plans.
For unified control, the CX4T connects seamlessly with Total Connect® 2.0 (web and app), combining video and intrusion into a single experience when paired with compatible ProSeries and VISTA® H security panels. Features like video event filtering and a timeline scrubber make it simple to review continuous video or jump straight to event clips. With centralized cloud management, built-in security, and room to scale, the First Alert CX4T is a smart, modern solution for dependable video surveillance.
