Uniview IPC2B16SE-ADF28/40-KMC-WP-I1 6MP OwlView Plus Dual-Light AI Bullet Camera with Tri-Guard Active Deterrence

Product SKU: IPC2B16SE-ADF28/40-KMC-WP-I1

Product Overview

The Uniview IPC2B16SE-ADF28/40-KMC-WP-I1 is a 6MP OwlView Plus Dual-Light AI bullet camera designed to deliver sharp, reliable monitoring with smarter event detection and proactive deterrence. With 3072 × 2048 resolution and human/vehicle classification, it helps reduce nuisance alerts and improves the quality of evidence captured day or night. Dual-light night vision supports IR monitoring and colour assistance using white light, while Tri-Guard active deterrence adds a flashing light and audible warning to discourage unwanted behaviour. With PoE power, IP66 weather protection, and ONVIF support, it suits a wide range of professional installations.

Why Choose the IPC2B16SE-ADF28/40-KMC-WP-I1

The IPC2B16SE-ADF28/40-KMC-WP-I1 is ideal when you want more than basic recording—its OwlView Plus AI focuses alerts on people and vehicles, helping you respond faster and spend less time reviewing irrelevant motion. The dual-light design gives you flexible night performance, using IR for discreet coverage or white light when colour detail is beneficial. Tri-Guard deterrence turns the camera into an active security device by adding a visible warning light and configurable audio alert that can help prevent incidents before they escalate. With PoE for simpler installs, IP66 weather resistance for outdoor reliability, and ONVIF interoperability for broader system compatibility, it’s a strong option for modern sites that need dependable detection and deterrence in one camera.

Key Capabilities

Key Features

• 6MP High-Resolution Imaging: Capture crisp, highly detailed footage at 3072 × 2048, helping you recognise key visual details such as faces, number plates (where scene conditions allow), and object movement. The extra resolution supports better playback review and improved clarity when digitally zooming into recorded footage.

• OwlView Plus AI Human & Vehicle Classification: Built-in analytics classify people and vehicles to reduce nuisance alerts from non-relevant motion. This improves event accuracy, keeps notifications meaningful, and helps teams respond faster—particularly in outdoor areas where shadows, weather, or vegetation can otherwise trigger frequent false alarms.

• Dual-Light Night Vision (IR + White Light): Dual-light operation provides flexible low-light performance. Use IR for discreet black-and-white night monitoring, or enable white light to support colour footage when you want more identifying detail. This adaptability makes the camera suitable for sites with changing lighting conditions throughout the night.

• Tri-Guard Active Deterrence: Tri-Guard can trigger a white light flash and a configurable audible warning when defined events occur, helping deter intruders before an incident escalates. This proactive approach can reduce risk, support on-site awareness, and add an extra layer of security beyond passive recording alone.

• Fixed Lens Options (2.8mm or 4.0mm): Choose the best lens for your scene. The 2.8mm option provides a wider field of view for open spaces, while the 4.0mm option offers a narrower view that can improve detail concentration on entrances and longer corridors. This helps you optimise coverage without changing camera position.

• Wide Dynamic Range (120 dB WDR): WDR helps balance bright and dark areas in the same scene, improving visibility when monitoring entrances, sunlit forecourts, or areas with strong backlighting. This results in more usable images where standard cameras may produce washed-out highlights or overly dark shadow regions.

• Built-In Microphone & Speaker (Two-Way Audio): Integrated audio supports improved situational awareness and enables two-way communication, which can be used to speak to visitors, challenge suspicious behaviour, or provide verbal instructions. Combined with deterrence features, audio adds another practical layer to perimeter and entry monitoring.

• H.265/H.264 Smart Compression: Efficient video compression helps reduce bandwidth and storage requirements while maintaining strong image quality. This supports longer retention times on the same storage capacity and improves remote viewing performance, especially when multiple cameras are streaming or when internet bandwidth is limited.

• PoE Powered (IEEE 802.3af): Power and data travel over one Ethernet cable when used with a PoE switch or PoE-capable NVR, simplifying cabling and speeding up installation. This is especially useful for outdoor mounting locations where power access may be limited and a clean, reliable connection is required.

• IP66 Weather-Resistant Metal Housing: The IP66-rated housing is built for outdoor use and helps protect against dust and heavy rain. With an operating temperature range of approximately –30°C to +60°C, it is suitable for demanding external environments when installed with correct sealing, mounting, and cable protection practices.

• ONVIF & RTSP Support: ONVIF and RTSP compatibility improves integration options with many third-party VMS and NVR platforms for standard streaming and recording. For the best experience with advanced AI and deterrence workflows, pairing with supported Uniview AI-capable recorders and software is recommended.

Specifications Summary

Actual field of view, detection distance, and coverage will vary by lens, installation height, and environmental conditions.

Ideal Use Cases

• Residential Perimeters – Monitor driveways, side access paths, and boundary lines with more meaningful alerts and optional deterrence actions.
• Retail Fronts & Service Stations – Improve after-hours monitoring with human/vehicle classification and stronger evidence detail.
• Office Entrances & Walkways – Support entry monitoring where backlighting and variable lighting are common challenges.
• Warehouses & Loading Docks – Cover yards and access points, using deterrence features to help discourage unauthorised entry.
• Car Parks & Strata Sites – Provide perimeter coverage with clearer identification detail and flexible lens options.

Choosing Between the 2.8mm and 4mm Lens

Tip:
Choose 2.8mm for wider areas.
Choose 4.0mm for more detail on key points.

FAQs

1. Does this camera record in colour at night?
   Yes. The camera supports dual-light night operation, which can use white light to assist with colour footage in suitable conditions. If you prefer discreet monitoring or the scene is very dark, IR illumination can provide black-and-white night vision. Real-world colour performance will vary depending on ambient lighting, distance, and the reflectivity of the scene.
2. What does OwlView Plus AI do?
   OwlView Plus AI provides human and vehicle classification so alerts are based on meaningful targets rather than general motion. This helps reduce false alarms caused by environmental movement like trees, shadows, weather, or insects. The result is cleaner notifications, faster response, and less time wasted checking irrelevant events, especially in outdoor installations.
3. How does Tri-Guard active deterrence work?
   Tri-Guard can trigger a visible white light flash and a configurable audible warning when defined events occur in your detection zones. This can help discourage potential intruders early, before they reach doors, gates, or sensitive areas. Deterrence behaviour and alert rules depend on system configuration, and supported Uniview recorders typically provide the best overall feature integration.
4. Is this camera suitable for outdoor installations?
   Yes. The camera is rated IP66 for weather resistance and uses a metal bullet-style housing designed for outdoor reliability. It also supports an operating temperature range of approximately –30°C to +60°C. For best long-term results, ensure correct mounting, weatherproofing of cable terminations, and stable PoE/network connectivity.
5. Can I use this camera with third-party NVRs or VMS?
   Yes. ONVIF and RTSP support enables standard streaming and recording with many compatible third-party platforms. However, advanced features—particularly AI analytics tuning and deterrence workflows—are generally best supported when used within compatible Uniview systems. If you’re mixing brands, confirm ONVIF profiles and feature support in your recorder/VMS.
6. Does it support local recording without an NVR?
   Yes. The camera supports microSD card storage (up to 256GB, optional), which can be used for local recording or as a redundancy option. Local storage can be useful where an NVR is not available or where you want backup footage in case of network interruption. For longer retention and multi-camera management, an NVR is typically recommended.
