Imou Bullet 2E 5MP Outdoor Security Camera Review: Outdoor Pick
The Imou Bullet 2E 5MP delivers resolution that matches cameras twice its price, backed by Dahua Technology - one of the world's largest professional CCTV manufacturers. Its IP67 rating is the highest weatherproofing in this roundup, surviving not just rain but brief submersion. The rare dual WiFi-plus-Ethernet connectivity gives you a wired backup option for locations where WiFi signal is unreliable.

Decision Snapshot
At Rs 2,500-3,000, the Bullet 2E 5MP is the best-value outdoor camera in India with 5MP resolution, IP67 rating, dual connectivity, and four night vision modes. Backed by Dahua's CCTV expertise. The trade-off is fixed bullet design (no pan-tilt), limited Imou service network outside metros, a steeper app learning curve, and no Alexa or Google integration.
Best For
Budget buyers who want the highest resolution and best weatherproofing for a fixed monitoring position like a main gate or driveway entrance.
Watch Outs
Users who want wide-area coverage from a single camera - the fixed bullet design covers only one direction, so you may need 2-3 cameras to replace one PTZ unit.
