The Uniarch IPC-B232-AF40-DL-ECO is a 2MP fixed bullet network camera from the Entry Series dual-light line, built in a larger IP67 outdoor housing. It combines 30 m infrared and 15 m warm-light illumination for discreet or full-color night vision, PoE single-cable power, and an NDAA-compliant build rated for −30 °C to 60 °C. It carries a fixed 4.0 mm lens (67° view) for medium-range coverage.
Is this the right camera for you?
Plain-language guide for buyers and installers — based only on what this camera actually does.
Shops & storefrontsSee who enters, and the built-in mic records what is said at the counter. The 4.0 mm lens covers a full shop floor from a corner.
Home gates & yardsThe warm light turns on at night — visitors are visible in color and intruders know they are seen.
Warehouse & site perimetersIP67 body and −30 to 60 °C rating survive rain, dust and heat. The larger housing detects movement up to 73.5 m away along fence lines.
Residential compoundsHuman body detection 2.0 raises alerts for people, not for stray animals or moving branches.
Procurement-sensitive sitesNDAA-compliant build for buyers with government or institutional procurement rules. Ultra 265 compression keeps recordings small on the NVR.
Kiosks & fuel stationsOne PoE cable does power + video — no electrician needed at the pole, quick to install and move.
Not the right pick if you need…
- Two-way talk — it has a mic but no speaker
- Wi-Fi — this is a wired RJ45 camera
- Zoom — the lens is fixed at 4.0 mm, no optical zoom
- MicroSD card recording — Edge Storage is N/A, it records to an NVR instead
- Alarm in/out wiring for sirens or sensors

IR MODE
Invisible infrared — discreet black & white night vision
Smart IR up to 30 m (98.4 ft.) at 850 nm. The camera watches without lighting up the scene — nothing shows it is recording.
WARM LIGHT MODE
Visible warm light — full-time color and active deterrence
Warm white light up to 15 m (49.2 ft.) keeps faces and clothing colors visible at night — and tells intruders the area is watched.

How wide a view at each distance
Scene width covered at typical mounting distances — the number you need to work out how many cameras a wall, yard or aisle takes.
| Distance | 67.3° |
|---|---|
| 5 m16 ft | 6.7 m21.8 ft |
| 10 m33 ft | 13.3 m43.7 ft |
| 15 m49 ft | 20.0 m65.5 ft |
| 20 m66 ft | 26.6 m87.4 ft |
| 30 m98 ft | 39.9 m131 ft |
Calculated from the horizontal field of view in the specifications below: width = 2 × distance × tan(FOV ÷ 2). Lens distortion and mounting angle are not included.
Who uses it, where it goes and how to install it
Written for the IPC-B232-AF40-DL-ECO from its official datasheet: 2 MP (1080P), fixed 4.0 mm lens, dual light (IR 30 m, warm light 15 m), built-in mic, PoE (802.3af) at max. 3.5 W, IP67.
Who it is for
- Shops and small businesses that want color at night — Within 15 m the warm light keeps clothing and vehicle colors in the recording, which matters for evidence; the built-in mic adds sound at the counter or door.
- Homes, gates and driveways — A visible light at the gate shows the property is watched; where you want to stay discreet, IR mode gives black-and-white video up to 30 m without lighting the area.
- Installers on 2 MP budget projects — ECO value line with 1080P video: smaller recordings than 4 MP on the same NVR disk, only 3.5 W per camera on PoE, and one cable for power and video.
- Car parks, yards and building sides — The larger IP67 B2xx housing is rated for −30 °C to 60 °C, and the sodium-lamp white balance keeps colors natural under orange street lights.
Where and how to install
- Height and angle — Mount at about 2.5–3.5 m with a shallow downward tilt. Lower is easier to tamper with; much higher shows the top of heads instead of faces.
- Faces inside 7.3 m, color inside 15 m — Aim at the door or gate so people approach within 7.3 m, the identify distance. For color at night, the area that matters must be within the 15 m reach of the warm light; beyond that use IR mode or add site lighting.
- Keep the light cone clear — Do not mount tight under eaves or beside a wall that sits inside the picture: both IR and warm light reflect back and wash out the image. Do not point the warm light at a neighbor's windows.
- Bright backgrounds — WDR is digital (DWDR), with BLC and HLC. Avoid aiming from inside at a bright glass door, or straight at the sun or at headlights entering a gate; place it so the light comes from behind or beside the camera.
- Weather, cable and surge — The body is IP67, the RJ45 joint is not: put it in the TR-JB05-A-IN junction box with a TR-A01-IN cable gland, or seal it. Surge protection is 4 KV; on poles or long outdoor runs add a PoE surge protector and earthing.
- Brackets — Wall: directly or on the TR-JB05-A-IN box. Pole: TR-UP06-B-IN, or TR-UP06-C-IN-V2 with the junction box. Building corner: TR-UC08-C-V2. The 3-axis mount (pan 0–360°, tilt 0–90°) levels the picture on uneven walls.
The 4.0 mm lens: what you actually see
This model comes only with a 4.0 mm lens (67.3°). From 5 m it covers 6.7 m of width and from 10 m about 13.3 m, with about 144 pixels per meter at 10 m on its 1920-pixel-wide image. If you need a wider view, the B1xx mini IPC-B132-AF28(40)-DL-ECO is also offered with 2.8 mm; for more detail in the same housing, the 4 MP IPC-B234-AF40-DL-ECO.
| AF40 · 4.0 mm | |
|---|---|
| Horizontal view angle | 67.3° |
| Width covered at 5 m | 6.7 m |
| Width covered at 10 m | 13.3 m |
| Pixels per meter at 10 m | 144 px/m |
| Identify a stranger's face up to | 7.3 m |
| Recognize someone you know up to | 14.7 m |
| Observe what is happening up to | 29.4 m |
| Detect that something is there up to | 73.5 m |
| Night range in warm-light mode (color) | 15 m |
| Night range in IR mode (black and white) | 30 m |
- Good fit: a gate, door or driveway where people come within 7.3 m, and an area up to about 13 m wide at 10 m distance.
- For color evidence at night, keep the key spot within 15 m; for watching a longer fence in the dark, IR mode reaches 30 m.
- Not enough width for a whole shop floor from close up? Use a 2.8 mm camera for the room and this one on the entrance.
Widths are calculated from the horizontal view angle (width = 2 × distance × tan(angle ÷ 2)); pixels per meter = horizontal pixels ÷ width at 10 m; face distances are the manufacturer's DORI figures.

2MP Dual-Light Bullet Camera FAQ — IPC-B232-AF40-DL-ECO
How far can the IPC-B232-AF40-DL-ECO see at night?
It carries two light sources: invisible 850 nm smart IR reaches 30 m in black and white, while the warm white light keeps faces and clothing in color up to 15 m. DORI figures are 73.5 m to detect and 14.7 m to recognize a person — enough for gates, shopfronts and compound walls.
When does the camera use warm light instead of IR?
IR mode is discreet: the 850 nm illuminator is invisible, so the camera watches up to 30 m without showing it is recording. Warm-light mode lights the scene up to 15 m so colors stay visible at night — and the visible light itself tells intruders the area is monitored.
Can it detect people and record sound?
Yes. Human body detection 2.0 filters people from moving leaves or animals, alongside standard motion detection. A microphone is built in, so recordings include audio without extra wiring, and audio detection can trigger an event on loud noise. Up to 4 privacy masks protect neighboring areas.
Is it waterproof and how do I power it?
The housing is IP67 rated, so dust and heavy rain are no problem on walls or poles. Power and video travel over one network cable via PoE — no separate power run needed. The bracket adjusts 360° pan and 90° tilt, and the model is NDAA compliant for projects that require it.
Will it work with my NVR and how much bandwidth does it need?
It encodes Ultra 265, H.265 and H.264 with dual streams — a 1080p/30 fps main stream for recording plus a lighter sub stream for live view. Bit rate is adjustable from 128 to 6144 Kbps, so you can balance picture quality against bandwidth and storage on each channel.
Is there a 2.8 mm version of the IPC-B232-AF40-DL-ECO?
No. The official datasheet lists only one model, IPC-B232-AF40-DL-ECO, with a 4.0 mm lens and a 67.3° horizontal view. If you need a wider 2.8 mm view with the same 2 MP dual light, look at the smaller B1xx model IPC-B132-AF28(40)-DL-ECO, which is offered in 2.8 mm and 4.0 mm.
Does the IPC-B232-AF40-DL-ECO record to a microSD card, and how much NVR disk does it need?
No: Edge Storage is N/A in the datasheet, so it records to an NVR or VMS. At the maximum 6144 Kbps continuous recording uses about 66.4 GB per day, about 2 TB per camera for 30 days. A 1080P stream is usually set lower; assuming 2048 Kbps it is about 22.1 GB per day, or about 0.66 TB per camera for 30 days, and Ultra 265 or event-only recording reduces it further.
Will the warm light on the IPC-B232-AF40-DL-ECO attract insects or bother the neighbors?
Any light at night attracts some insects, and a lit bulb near the lens means more webs and more false motion. Where that is a problem, use IR mode, which does not light up the scene and still reaches 30 m, and set alerts on human body detection 2.0 instead of plain motion. Angle the camera so the 15 m warm-light beam stays on your own property and away from neighbors' windows.
IPC-B232-AF40-DL-ECO (2 MP) or the 4 MP IPC-B234-AF40-DL-ECO: which should I buy?
Both are 4.0 mm dual-light bullets in the same B2xx housing. Pick this 2 MP model when faces come within 7.3 m and you want smaller recordings per camera on the NVR. Pick the 4 MP sibling when you need more detail at the same distance or longer identification range, and accept larger recordings.
What language is the IPC-B232-AF40-DL-ECO web interface, and how do I view it without an NVR?
The web client is in English only (1 language in the datasheet), so plan to hand over in English or through the NVR or app. Without an NVR you can open the camera's IP address in Chrome 57+, Firefox 58+ or Edge 16+ for plug-in-free live view, or use the Uniarch APP or Uniarch client listed in the datasheet; there is no microSD, so nothing is recorded without an NVR or VMS. Up to 32 users can be created with two levels, administrator and common user.
