Dahua Technology APOLLO Bullet C1 IP security camera Outdoor Wireless Wall mount 4MP 2560×1440 2.1mm lens 122.5°

Dahua APOLLO Bullet C1 is a 4MP outdoor IP security camera with wireless connectivity and a wall-mount design. It records 2560×1440 video at up to 15 fps using a 1/3" CMOS sensor and a 2.1 mm lens with a wide horizontal field of view. The camera is intended for perimeter and property monitoring and supports flexible installation angles, including up to 360° rotation for optimized coverage. Its housing is weather-resistant for outdoor use and it offers local storage options.

Advantages

The camera provides high-resolution 4MP images for clearer identification at distance while using wireless connectivity to avoid running network cables. Its compact bullet form factor and wall-mount design simplify installation on building exteriors. IP66-rated weather protection and a lightweight construction make it suitable for outdoor surveillance in varied conditions, and integrated night vision extends monitoring after dark.

Suitable for

• Perimeter and property surveillance around homes and small businesses
• Retail storefront monitoring
• Parking areas and building entrances

When it may not be suitable

This wireless camera is not ideal where a wired PoE network is required for centralized power and data management or where continuous high-frame-rate recording (above 15 fps) is needed for fast-motion analysis. Environments that demand very long-range night vision beyond the specified IR range may require a different model.

How to use

Mount the camera on a stable exterior wall using appropriate anchors for the surface. Aim and rotate the camera to achieve the desired coverage, then secure its position.

Test day and night operation and adjust angle or IR settings for optimal coverage.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure reliable wireless coverage at the installation location; consider a stronger antenna or repeater if signal is weak
• Verify the required frame rate and resolution (4MP at up to 15 fps) meet your monitoring needs
• Confirm night vision range (up to 15 m) is sufficient for your site
• Check mounting surface and accessories for outdoor installation

Recommendations

Position the camera at a height and angle that minimizes glare from street lighting and maximizes subject recognition. Regularly check firmware updates and secure wireless credentials to maintain performance and security.
