The Uniarch IPC-D124-PF28K is a 4MP fixed dome network camera with a metal vandal-resistant body (IK10) and IP67 outdoor rating. It provides up to 30 m of smart infrared night vision, MicroSD edge storage, and powers over a single PoE cable or DC 12V, with a −30 °C to 60 °C working range. It carries a fixed 2.8 mm lens only — there is no alternate lens option for this model.
Is this the right camera for you?
Plain-language guide for buyers and installers — based only on what this camera actually does.
Hallways & corridorsThe low-profile dome shape sits flush on a ceiling and blends into the surroundings — less obtrusive than a bullet camera in indoor spaces.
Schools & transit stationsIK10 vandal-resistant housing withstands impact and tampering in high-traffic public areas.
Loading docks & site entrancesIP67 body and −30 to 60 °C rating survive rain, dust and heat outdoors, day after day.
Sites needing local backupA built-in MicroSD slot keeps footage on the camera itself — useful as a backup even where an NVR is also recording.
Small offices & receptionUltra 265 compression keeps recordings small — more days of footage on the same NVR disk.
Quick retrofits & pole/ceiling installsOne PoE cable does power + video — no electrician needed on site, quick to install.
Not the right pick if you need…
- Full-color night vision — this is IR-only, night video is black & white, not color
- Audio recording or two-way talk — no built-in mic or speaker on this model
- Wi-Fi — this is a wired RJ45 camera
- Zoom or an alternate lens option — this model has a fixed 2.8 mm lens only
- Alarm in/out wiring for sirens or sensors

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 | 97.0° |
|---|---|
| 5 m16 ft | 11.3 m37.1 ft |
| 10 m33 ft | 22.6 m74.2 ft |
| 15 m49 ft | 33.9 m111 ft |
| 20 m66 ft | 45.2 m148 ft |
| 30 m98 ft | 67.8 m222 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 Uniarch IPC-D124-PF28K from its own specifications: 4 MP fixed dome, 2.8 mm lens (97.0°), 30 m Smart IR, IK10 and IP67 metal body, MicroSD, PoE or 12 V DC.
Who it is for
- Schools, stairwells and public corridors — Where a camera can be hit or pulled at: the metal + plastic body is rated IK10 against impact, and a ceiling dome is harder to knock off aim than a bullet or turret.
- Shops, offices and receptions — The 2.8 mm lens covers 11.3 m of width from 5 m away, so one dome on the ceiling sees a whole sales floor or reception. It has no microphone, which suits sites where recording sound is not wanted.
- Covered outdoor areas: entrances, car parks, loading docks — IP67, −30 °C to 60 °C and 4 kV surge protection let it work under canopies and soffits outdoors, with 850 nm IR up to 30 m at night.
- Installers upgrading from 2 MP domes — Same IK10 dome body family as the 2 MP IPC-D122-PF28K, but 2560 × 1440 identifies faces to 6.3 m instead of 4.5 m, and it adds Ultra motion detection and a tampering alarm.
Where and how to install
- Ceiling height and position — Mount at about 2.5–3.5 m, ideally on the ceiling just inside the door looking toward it. The tilt range is 0–68°, so on a ceiling the lens can be aimed down the room; on a high ceiling faces are seen from above and become hard to identify.
- Faces need a choke point — The 2.8 mm lens identifies a stranger's face only up to 6.3 m. Aim one dome at the door or till where people pass within that distance, and use the wide view for the overview.
- Dome cover and night glare — IR light can reflect inside the clear cover and haze the night picture. Keep the cover clean and free of fingerprints, peel off any protective film after fitting it, and do not mount where a wall or soffit edge sits close in front of the lens.
- Brackets for each surface — Ceiling: direct, or TR-JB03-G-IN junction box when the cable comes from behind; false ceiling: TR-FM116; wall: TR-WM03-D-IN-V2 or TR-WM07P-B; high ceilings: TR-CM24-IN with the TR-SE24-IN (200 mm) or TR-SE24-A-IN (500 mm) pole; sloped surface: TR-UM06-E-IN; corners: TR-UC08-C-V2.
- Outdoors: cable joint, sun and surge — The body is IP67, but the RJ45 and 12 V tail is not: put it in the TR-JB03-G-IN box and seal the entry with the TR-A01-IN gland. The HS-205S sunshade helps against direct sun and rain on the cover. On long outdoor runs add a surge protector and earthing beyond the built-in 4 kV.
- Power and cable — Max. 3.4 W over IEEE 802.3af PoE, so any PoE switch or PoE NVR port is enough. Use Cat5e or Cat6 copper up to 100 m per run; where there is no PoE, use a 12 V DC adapter with a Ø5.5 mm plug.
2.8 mm fixed lens: what you actually see
This model has one lens only: 2.8 mm, 97.0° wide. From 5 m it covers 11.3 m of width and at 10 m it puts about 113 pixels on each meter, enough to recognize someone you know up to 12.6 m. Compared with the 2 MP IPC-D122-PF28K (101.1°, about 79 px/m at 10 m) the view is a little narrower but every distance figure is about 1.4× longer. For faces farther than 6.3 m, use a varifocal dome such as the IPC-D314-ADZK instead.
| PF28K · 2.8 mm | |
|---|---|
| Horizontal view angle | 97.0° |
| Vertical view angle | 52.2° |
| Width covered at 5 m | 11.3 m |
| Width covered at 10 m | 22.6 m |
| Pixels per meter at 10 m | 113 px/m |
| Identify a stranger's face up to | 6.3 m |
| Recognize someone you know up to | 12.6 m |
| Observe what is happening up to | 25.2 m |
| Detect that something is there up to | 63.0 m |
- Use it for rooms, shop floors and entrances seen from close: from 5 m it covers 11.3 m of width.
- Place the door or till within 6.3 m if you need to identify faces; between 6.3 m and 12.6 m you recognize people you already know.
- At night the IR reaches 30 m, so the 63.0 m detect figure applies only where there is other lighting.
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 PoE Dome Camera FAQ — IPC-D124-PF28K
How far does the IPC-D124-PF28K see at night?
Its 850 nm smart IR reaches up to 30 m in full darkness. Thanks to the 4MP sensor behind the 97° wide 2.8 mm lens, DORI distances stretch to 63 m detect, 25.2 m observe, 12.6 m recognize and 6.3 m identify — a step up from 2MP domes at the same mounting points.
Will it register on a third-party NVR or VMS?
Yes — it implements ONVIF Profile S, Profile G and Profile T plus an API, so most third-party recorders and VMS platforms discover it directly. The stack also covers RTSP, RTMP, HTTP/HTTPS, NTP, DDNS and QoS, with video in Ultra 265, H.265, H.264 or MJPEG.
Does it record when the network is down?
Yes — footage keeps writing to a MicroSD card up to 512 GB, and ANR backfills the recorder automatically once the link returns, so the NVR timeline stays continuous. That makes it a solid pick for sites with unstable network or frequent power cuts.
Can it take abuse in public areas?
The dome is IK10 rated against deliberate impact and IP67 sealed against dust and rain, so it works at bus stops, school corridors and building entrances. A tampering alarm fires if someone blocks or repaints the view, and ultra motion detection covers scene changes.
How is it powered and what bandwidth does 4MP use?
PoE feeds power and video through one network cable — nothing else to wire at the ceiling. The main stream records 4MP (2560×1440) at up to 20 fps, or 1080p at 30 fps, with bit rate adjustable from 128 to 6144 Kbps; Ultra 265/H.265 keeps per-channel load low.
IPC-D124-PF28K or IPC-D122-PF28K: which Uniarch dome should I buy?
Pick the D124 when detail matters: 4 MP (2560 × 1440) identifies a face up to 6.3 m and recognizes a known person up to 12.6 m, against 4.5 m and 9.0 m for the 2 MP D122. The D124 also adds Ultra motion detection and a tampering alarm, while the D122 lists plain motion detection. The D122 is slightly wider (101.1° against 97.0°) and uses less recording space. Both have the IK10 + IP67 body, 30 m IR, MicroSD up to 512 GB and no microphone.
IPC-D124-PF28K dome or IPC-T124-APF28K turret: what is the difference?
The picture is the same: both are 4 MP with a 2.8 mm lens at 97.0° and the same DORI distances (identify 6.3 m), with 30 m IR. The D124 dome is rated IK10 against impact and has no microphone; the T124 turret has a built-in mic with audio detection but its datasheet lists IP67 only, without an IK rating. Choose the D124 where people can reach or hit the camera, and the T124 where you want sound and vandalism is not a concern.
Why is the night picture of my IPC-D124-PF28K hazy or glowing white?
On a dome this is almost always the 850 nm IR reflecting back into the lens. Check that the protective film is removed, that the cover is clean and dry, and that the light-blocking ring around the lens sits flat against the cover after you close it. Also look for a nearby wall, soffit, gutter or cobweb in front of the lens: the IR lights it up and the auto exposure darkens everything else. Smart IR reduces overexposure of close objects but cannot fix a reflection.
How many days can the IPC-D124-PF28K record on a MicroSD card?
At the maximum 6144 Kbps with continuous recording it writes about 66.4 GB per day, so a 128 GB card lasts about 1.9 days and the maximum 512 GB card about 7.7 days. At 2048 Kbps, a 512 GB card lasts about 23 days. Ultra 265 and event-only recording stretch this further, and ANR refills the NVR from the card after a network break.
Does the IPC-D124-PF28K tell people from cars, insects or moving trees?
Its datasheet lists Ultra motion detection and a tampering alarm, but no human or vehicle classification, so treat it as motion-based: insects in the IR, spider webs, headlights and swaying plants can trigger it. Draw tight detection areas, lower the sensitivity, keep plants out of the frame and clean the cover regularly. If you need human/vehicle filtering on a dome, the IPC-D314-ADZK lists it.
Can I mount the IPC-D124-PF28K on a wall instead of a ceiling?
Yes, but use a wall bracket rather than fixing the base flat to the wall: the TR-WM03-D-IN-V2 (or TR-JB07/WM03-G-IN-V2 with a built-in box for the cable joint) or the plastic TR-WM07P-B. Flat on a wall, the 0–68° tilt range is designed for ceilings and the dome housing tends to appear in the picture. On an outside corner use the TR-UC08-C-V2, and on a sloped soffit the TR-UM06-E-IN slant bracket.
