Description

Overview

The Uniview IPC322LB-SF28-A is a 2MP vandal-resistant network dome camera made for shops, offices and warehouses that run a wired CCTV system. It records in 1080p Full HD at 30 frames per second through a 2.8 mm fixed lens, giving a wide 117-degree diagonal field of view.

The housing is the point of this camera. It is rated IK10 for vandal resistance and IP67 for weatherproofing, so it stands up to knocks, dust and rain, indoors or outside. Infrared night vision reaches up to 30 metres with Smart IR, and DWDR and 2D/3D noise reduction keep the picture usable in mixed light and at night.

This is a wired camera for a proper NVR setup, and buyers should know that before ordering. It connects over a single Ethernet cable, takes power from PoE (IEEE 802.3af) or a 12 V DC adapter, and has no Wi-Fi, no built-in microphone or speaker, and no microSD slot. Recording happens on an NVR, which is not included.

Key Benefits

A tough dome for busy places. The IK10 rating means the housing resists impacts, and IP67 keeps out dust and water. That suits a shop counter, a warehouse aisle or a building entrance.

A wide view from one camera. The 2.8 mm lens at F2.0 covers 117 degrees diagonally (101.1 degrees horizontal, 56.5 degrees vertical), so a single dome watches a whole room instead of one corner of it.

Night vision that reaches across a yard. Infrared up to 30 metres covers a car park or warehouse floor after dark, and Smart IR stops the picture blowing out when someone walks close to the lens.

One cable does power and video. PoE (IEEE 802.3af) carries both over the same Ethernet cable. A 12 V DC adapter works as well if no PoE switch is available.

Fits into a system you already own. ONVIF Profile S and T, plus EZStation, EZView and EZLive, mean it drops into an existing Uniview or mixed ONVIF system.

Features and Advantages

A 1/2.8-inch CMOS sensor with 2.0 megapixels and progressive scan records 1080p at 30 or 25 frames per second. Compression covers Ultra 265, H.265 and H.264, with dual streams, so the NVR gets a high-quality stream and remote viewing gets a lighter one.

Minimum illumination is 0.01 lux in colour with the F2.0 lens and AGC on, and 0 lux with infrared. The IR-cut filter switches between day and night automatically, and Smart IR adjusts the infrared output as subjects move closer or further away. DWDR handles mixed light, such as a doorway with daylight behind it.

DORI distances for the 2.8 mm lens: detection 45.0 metres, observation 18.0 metres, recognition 9.0 metres, identification 4.5 metres. The dome adjusts on two axes, pan 3 to 360 degrees and tilt 0 to 75 degrees, for precise aiming. OSD supports four overlays, privacy masking covers four areas, and ROI prioritises quality in a chosen region.

It takes DC 12V (plus or minus 25 percent) through a 5.5 mm coaxial plug, or PoE under IEEE 802.3af, with maximum draw of 5.0 W. The single RJ45 port runs at 10M/100M. There is no Wi-Fi, audio or alarm I/O, so the camera does one job: video over a wire. For Wi-Fi at the same site, the TP-Link EAP225-Outdoor covers outdoor areas, while the TP-Link EAP723 BE5000 or the TP-Link EAP225 AC1350 Ceiling cover the building inside.

Ideal Users

Small shops will get the most out of this dome. Over the counter or at the entrance, its wide view, IK10 housing and 30-metre night vision cover the floor and the front door.

Offices use it in corridors, receptions and meeting rooms. A discreet dome on the ceiling watches the space without drawing attention, and PoE means the installer runs one cable per camera.

Warehouses and storage areas suit it well. The IP67 housing handles dust, the wide lens covers an aisle, and the DORI distances show how far down the aisle a person can be recognised.

Homeowners with an existing NVR system can add it as an outdoor or entrance camera. It is not a standalone Wi-Fi camera, so it fits homes with a wired CCTV setup already in place.

FAQs

Does this camera work on Wi-Fi?
No. The IPC322LB-SF28-A is a wired camera only, with no Wi-Fi and no audio. It connects over a single Ethernet cable.

Do I need an NVR to use it?
Yes. The camera has no microSD slot and no onboard storage, so recordings are saved on an NVR. It works with Uniview NVRs and other ONVIF Profile S/T systems.

How is it powered?
PoE under IEEE 802.3af over the same Ethernet cable, or a DC 12 V adapter with a 5.5 mm plug. Maximum draw is 5.0 W.

Is it really vandal-resistant?
It is rated IK10 for impact protection and IP67 for dust and water.

What is the difference between this and the SF28K-A?
The SF28K-A has a microSD slot; this SF28-A has none and needs an NVR. The SF40-A has a 4.0 mm lens and a narrower field of view.
