Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need a black 8MP turret camera with Starlight imaging, human-based filtering, 30m IR, built-in microphone, PoE and IP67 protection.
- Choose the white version if: The installation uses light-coloured ceilings, walls or standard white camera hardware.
- Choose a varifocal camera if: The installation requires adjustable framing or a narrower view of a more distant target.
- Check audio requirements: The built-in microphone records audio, but the camera does not include a speaker for two-way talk.
- Check recorder compatibility: Confirm the NVR supports 8MP recording, Ultra 265 compression and the required smart detection events.
FAQs
- What is the Uniarch IPC-T1E8-AF28K-B used for?
The Uniarch IPC-T1E8-AF28K-B is used for high-resolution IP surveillance in homes, shops, offices and small commercial sites. Its black housing, wide fixed lens, 8MP video, Starlight imaging, infrared night vision and human-based intrusion filtering make it suitable for discreet indoor and outdoor monitoring. - What resolution does this camera record?
The camera records up to 8MP resolution at 3840 × 2160 and 20fps. It also supports 5MP, 4MP and 2MP resolutions at up to 30/25fps, allowing the system to balance video detail, storage capacity and network bandwidth. - Does the IPC-T1E8-AF28K-B support AI detection?
Yes. The camera supports intrusion detection with human-based filtering. This helps the system focus on human activity and can reduce alerts caused by irrelevant movement, depending on the camera settings and connected recorder. - How far can the camera see at night?
The IPC-T1E8-AF28K-B includes Smart IR illumination with a range of up to 30m. Actual night visibility depends on the installation angle, surrounding surfaces, weather conditions and the size and reflectivity of the target. - Does this camera record audio?
Yes. The camera includes a built-in microphone for recording ambient audio with video. It does not include a built-in speaker, so two-way audio is not available through the camera alone. Audio recording should only be enabled where legally permitted. - Can the camera record without an NVR?
The camera supports a MicroSD card up to 256GB, allowing local edge recording when configured correctly. An NVR is still recommended for centralised recording, longer retention, easier playback and multi-camera management. - Is the black IPC-T1E8-AF28K-B suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. The camera has an IP67 protection rating and can be installed in suitable outdoor locations when correctly mounted and sealed. Appropriate junction boxes, waterproof cable connections and surge protection should be considered for exposed installations. - What should I check before buying the IPC-T1E8-AF28K-B?
Before buying, confirm the black finish, 2.8mm viewing angle, 30m night range, PoE availability, NVR 8MP support, storage requirements, audio policy and mounting location. Security Wholesalers can supply this Uniarch camera for compatible CCTV systems.
