Use Cases
This camera is suited to a variety of environments and surveillance scenarios, especially where colour detail is important in low or mixed lighting. Some use-cases include:
-
Outdoor perimeter surveillance of homes, businesses, warehouses, or campuses where lighting may be minimal at night.
-
Entrance / driveway monitoring, where colour identification (clothing, vehicles, faces) is important.
-
Retail storefronts with outdoor exposure (awnings, signage) to monitor vandalism, theft.
-
Parking lots or lanes where long-distance detection (up to ~40-60 m depending on lens) is useful.
-
Public spaces or corridors where illumination is limited, but colour details are helpful for recognition or evidence.
-
Areas needing corrosion/weatherproofing, due to its IP67 rating and wide temperature tolerance.
FAQs
Q: Will I get colour images at night without external lighting?
A: Yes. Thanks to the ColorHunter + Wise-ISP technology, the camera can provide full-colour images even in very low light. If needed, its built-in warm white light can also be activated (auto or manual) to enhance detail up to ~30 m.
Q: What is the difference between the 2.8 mm and 4.0 mm versions?
A: The 2.8 mm lens gives a wider field of view (H ~110°), better for wider area coverage at closer distances. The 4.0 mm option gives more zoomed field, allowing detection / recognition / identification at longer distances but a narrower view. Selection depends on the coverage area.
Q: How is this camera powered and how do I connect it?
A: It supports PoE (Power over Ethernet, IEEE 802.3af) which simplifies installation (single cable for power + data). Alternatively, 12 V DC can be used. Network via RJ-45 Ethernet.
Q: How durable is it against weather and environmental conditions?
A: Very durable. IP67 rated (dust tight, water immersion protection), works from −30 °C to +60 °C, with surge protection (approx 4 kV). Suitable for harsh outdoor environments.
Q: How do I store footage and what if connection is lost?
A: You can store video locally on a microSD card (up to 512 GB). If integrated with systems supporting ANR (Automatic Network Reconnection / Recovery), the camera can cache when the network is down and upload once reconnected. Also supports network storage/NAS.
Q: What about integration with existing surveillance systems / standards?
A: The camera supports ONVIF (Profile S, G, T), common network protocols (RTSP, HTTP/S, etc.), and is compatible with Uniview’s own management software (e.g. EZView, EZStation). This allows it to integrate with many NVRs / VMS stations that adhere to these standards.
