Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need an 8MP Pro Series PTZ with 42X optical zoom, 500m IR, LightHunter imaging, optical defog, wiper, auto tracking, 7/2 alarm I/O and IP67 protection.
- Choose a lower-zoom PTZ if: The site only needs short-to-medium range monitoring and does not require 42X zoom or 500m IR reach.
- Choose a fixed camera if: The viewing direction never changes and the site does not need presets, patrols, tracking or remote pan/tilt/zoom control.
- Check power requirements: Confirm PoE IEEE 802.3bt, AC 24V or DC 24V supply capacity because this PTZ can draw up to 67W.
- Check mounting accessories: Confirm wall, pole, corner, ceiling or junction box requirements, plus total camera weight, wind exposure and cable route before installation.
FAQs
- What is the Uniview IPC6828EL-X42-W-VH1 used for?
The Uniview IPC6828EL-X42-W-VH1 is used for long-range PTZ surveillance where high resolution, powerful optical zoom and strong night visibility are required. It suits industrial sites, large perimeters, car parks, logistics yards, campuses, city monitoring and other wide-area applications.
- What resolution does this PTZ camera record?
The camera records up to 8MP resolution at 3840 × 2160 in the main stream, with a maximum frame rate of 30fps. It also supports 1080P sub stream and D1 third stream options for flexible viewing and bandwidth management.
- How far can the IPC6828EL-X42-W-VH1 see at night?
The camera supports IR illumination up to 500m, with the IR distance proportional to the optical zoom of the camera module. This makes it suitable for long-distance night monitoring when correctly mounted and configured.
- What zoom range does this camera provide?
This model uses a 6.0–252mm lens with 42X optical zoom and 16X digital zoom. The horizontal field of view ranges from 57.96° at the wide end to 2.15° at the telephoto end for long-distance detail.
- Does this PTZ support auto tracking?
Yes. The camera supports auto tracking with target filtering for human, non-motor vehicle and vehicle targets. It also supports smart intrusion prevention, multi-target detection and people counting, depending on system configuration.
- Does the camera include a wiper?
Yes. The IPC6828EL-X42-W-VH1 supports a wiper, which helps maintain visibility on the camera window in challenging outdoor environments when correctly maintained.
- What power options does it support?
The camera supports AC 24V ±25%, DC 24V ±25% and PoE IEEE 802.3bt power. Because maximum power consumption is 67W, the power supply, PoE switch or injector must be sized correctly for this PTZ.
- What should I check before buying the IPC6828EL-X42-W-VH1?
Before buying, confirm viewing distance, mounting height, PTZ bracket selection, 500m IR suitability, power supply design, NVR compatibility, storage needs, alarm integration and network capacity. Security Wholesalers can supply this Uniview PTZ camera for compatible long-range CCTV systems.
