The Uniarch IPC-B234-AF40-DL-ECO is a 4MP 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, accurate human body detection 2.0, PoE single-cable power, and an NDAA-compliant build rated for −30 °C to 60 °C. It carries a fixed 4.0 mm lens (77° 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 in sharp 4MP detail, 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 90 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, plus 3 user roles (administrator, common user, operator) to split access across staff.
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

Switchable Auto/Manual — set it per site, per customer.
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 far can it see? (DORI)
DORI (EN 62676-4) is the industry standard for what a camera can do at distance.

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 | 77.4° |
|---|---|
| 5 m16 ft | 8.0 m26.3 ft |
| 10 m33 ft | 16.0 m52.6 ft |
| 15 m49 ft | 24.0 m78.9 ft |
| 20 m66 ft | 32.0 m105 ft |
| 30 m98 ft | 48.1 m158 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-B234-AF40-DL-ECO from its official datasheet: 4 MP, fixed 4.0 mm lens with a 77.4° view, dual light (IR 30 m, warm light 15 m), built-in mic, PoE (802.3af) at max. 3.1 W, IP67.
Who it is for
- Shops and businesses that need color evidence at night — Within 15 m the warm light keeps clothing and vehicle colors in 4 MP recordings, faces are identifiable up to 9.0 m, and the built-in mic adds sound at the door or counter.
- 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 handing over to Spanish or Russian speaking clients — The web interface has 4 languages (English, Russian, Spanish, Vietnamese), and 3 user levels (administrator, operator, common user) let you keep admin rights while staff only view.
- Car parks, yards and building sides — The larger IP67 B2xx housing works from −30 °C to 60 °C, detects movement up to 90.0 m, 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 9.0 m, color inside 15 m — Aim at the door or gate so people approach within 9.0 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 for the camera, or TR-UP06-C-IN when you use the junction box (as listed in the datasheet). 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, and the datasheet gives it a 77.4° horizontal view. From 5 m it covers 8.0 m of width and from 10 m about 16.0 m, with about 160 pixels per meter at 10 m on its 2560-pixel-wide image, enough to identify a face up to 9.0 m. For a wider 2.8 mm view, the smaller B1xx IPC-B134-AF28(40)-DL-ECO is offered with both lenses; the 2 MP IPC-B232-AF40-DL-ECO uses the same housing.
| AF40 · 4.0 mm | |
|---|---|
| Horizontal view angle | 77.4° |
| Width covered at 5 m | 8.0 m |
| Width covered at 10 m | 16.0 m |
| Pixels per meter at 10 m | 160 px/m |
| Identify a stranger's face up to | 9.0 m |
| Recognize someone you know up to | 18.0 m |
| Observe what is happening up to | 36.0 m |
| Detect that something is there up to | 90.0 m |
| Night range in warm-light mode (color) | 15 m |
| Night range in IR mode (black and white) | 30 m |
- Good fit: a gate, entrance or driveway where people come within 9.0 m, and a scene up to about 16 m wide at 10 m distance.
- For color evidence at night keep the key spot within 15 m; for a longer fence in the dark, IR mode reaches 30 m.
- Covering a whole room from a corner close up? A 2.8 mm camera inside plus this one on the entrance works better.
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.

4MP Dual-Light Bullet Camera FAQ — IPC-B234-AF40-DL-ECO
How far can the IPC-B234-AF40-DL-ECO see at night?
Two light sources cover the night: invisible 850 nm smart IR reaches 30 m in black and white, and warm white light keeps faces and clothing in color up to 15 m. With 4MP resolution the DORI figures reach 90 m to detect and 18 m to recognize a person.
What does 4MP give me over a 2MP camera?
The main stream records 2560×1440 at up to 25 fps — roughly double the pixels of 1080p — so you can crop into faces or plates further away. The fixed 4.0 mm lens covers a 77.4° horizontal field of view, and DORI identify distance is 9 m.
Can it detect people and record sound?
Yes. Human body detection 2.0 separates people from moving branches or animals, cutting false alarms versus plain motion detection. A built-in microphone captures audio with the video, and audio detection can trigger an event on loud noise. Up to 4 privacy mask areas are configurable.
Is it waterproof and how do I power it?
The IP67 housing handles dust and heavy rain on walls and poles. PoE carries power and video on one network cable, so no separate power line is needed at the gate. 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 4MP (2560×1440) main stream at up to 25 fps for recording plus a lighter sub stream for live view. Bit rate is adjustable from 128 to 6144 Kbps, so each channel can be tuned for bandwidth and storage.
Is there a 2.8 mm version of the IPC-B234-AF40-DL-ECO?
No. The official datasheet lists only IPC-B234-AF40-DL-ECO with a 4.0 mm lens, which already has a fairly wide 77.4° horizontal view. If you need 2.8 mm with the same 4 MP dual light, look at the smaller B1xx model IPC-B134-AF28(40)-DL-ECO, offered in 2.8 mm and 4.0 mm.
Does the IPC-B234-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. Assuming 4096 Kbps with Ultra 265 it is about 44.2 GB per day, or about 1.33 TB per camera for 30 days; event-only recording reduces it further.
Will the warm light on the IPC-B234-AF40-DL-ECO attract insects or bother the neighbors?
Any light at night attracts some insects, and a lit lamp next to 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-B234-AF40-DL-ECO or the IR-only IPC-B234-AF40-ECO: which should I choose?
Both are 4 MP, 4.0 mm bullets in the same B2xx housing with human body detection 2.0. Choose this DL-ECO when you want color at night within 15 m and a visible light that deters, helped by its brighter F1.6 lens (0.003 Lux in color). Choose the IR-only model when the camera must stay discreet at night, for example facing neighbors or bedrooms, and black-and-white video is enough.
Can I give the owner's staff limited access to the IPC-B234-AF40-DL-ECO and view it securely from outside?
Yes. It supports up to 32 users in 3 levels: administrator, operator and common user, so the installer can keep the admin account and give staff view-only or operator access. HTTPS and SSL/TLS are listed for the web interface, plus strong-password enforcement and exportable operation logs. For remote viewing, use the Uniarch app or Uniarch client, ideally through the NVR, rather than opening the camera's ports directly to the internet.
