The Uniarch IPC-P222-AF40C is a 2MP pan-tilt network camera from the ColorHunter line. It combines auto tracking, two-way audio with sound-and-light warning, and equal-reach 30 m infrared plus 30 m warm-light illumination, and records locally to a MicroSD card up to 512 GB. It carries a fixed 4.0 mm lens (74° view) and moves on a 345° pan / 90° tilt head with 20 presets.
Is this the right camera for you?
Plain-language guide for buyers and installers — based only on what this camera actually does.
Yards & drivewaysAuto tracking follows a moving person or vehicle across the pan/tilt range, instead of leaving them at the frame edge.
Gates & front doorsTwo-way audio lets you speak to a visitor or warn off an intruder directly through the camera, with a sound-and-light alarm to back it up.
Warehouse & site perimetersIR and warm light both reach 30 m, and 20 saved presets let one camera patrol several fixed points in sequence.
Remote sites without easy NVR accessMicroSD recording up to 512 GB keeps footage on the camera itself when running a full NVR to the site isn't practical.
Small offices & shopfrontsOne camera covers a wider area than a fixed lens by panning and tilting, useful where budget only allows a single camera.
Sites already wired for PoEPowers over PoE (802.3af) or a DC 12V adapter — pick whichever matches the wiring already on site.
Not the right pick if you need…
- Optical zoom — the lens is fixed at 4.0 mm; only the pan/tilt head moves, the lens itself does not zoom
- Wi-Fi — this is a wired RJ45 camera
- Large multi-user deployments — only 6 user accounts (2 access levels), fewer than the 32-user fixed-camera models
- Third-party VMS via ONVIF — this model connects through Uniarch's own SDK/API, no ONVIF profile is listed
- 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 | 74.3° |
|---|---|
| 5 m16 ft | 7.6 m24.9 ft |
| 10 m33 ft | 15.2 m49.7 ft |
| 15 m49 ft | 22.7 m74.6 ft |
| 20 m66 ft | 30.3 m99.4 ft |
| 30 m98 ft | 45.5 m149 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-P222-AF40C from its own specifications: 2 MP pan-tilt camera, 4.0 mm lens (74.3°), 345° pan and 90° tilt with auto tracking, 30 m IR plus 30 m warm light, two-way audio, IP66.
Who it is for
- Homes and villas with one camera for the whole yard — Mounted on a corner of the house, the 345° pan and 20 presets let one camera cover gate, driveway and back yard in turn, and auto tracking follows a person or vehicle that walks across.
- Shops, kiosks and small sites that want to speak to visitors — Built-in mic and speaker for two-way audio from the app, plus a sound-and-light warning when a person or vehicle is detected.
- Sites without an NVR — Records on a MicroSD card up to 512 GB and is viewed through the Uniarch app, so a single camera on a PoE injector or 12 V adapter is a complete system.
- Installers who want a budget pan-tilt rather than a full PTZ — Fixed 4.0 mm lens with no optical zoom, 7.3 W on IEEE 802.3af PoE, 2 MP: a simple way to point one camera in many directions without a full PTZ. For more face distance, the 4 MP IPC-P224-AF40C uses the same body.
Where and how to install
- Height and position — Mount at about 2.5–3.5 m on a wall or under an eave, upright and level so the pan stays horizontal. A building corner gives the widest sweep. Faces are identifiable only within 6.7 m, so place it where people pass reasonably close.
- Put the 15° gap toward the wall — Pan is 0–345°, so a 15° slice can never be reached. Before tightening the base, turn it so that slice points at the wall behind the camera, not at the gate or door.
- Keep light from bouncing back — When the head turns toward a nearby wall, gutter or plant, the IR or warm light reflects and the picture whites out, and auto tracking can lose its target. Mount it a little away from walls and trim plants inside the 30 m light range.
- Weather and cable joint — The body is IP66: fine in rain, but not meant to sit in standing water, and an eave keeps the window cleaner. The RJ45 and 12 V tail is not waterproof: seal it in an outdoor junction box or waterproof RJ45 cap. Surge protection is 4 kV; add a surge protector and earthing on long outdoor runs.
- Power and cable — 7.3 W on IEEE 802.3af PoE or 12 V DC (Ø5.5 mm plug). The motors draw more than a fixed camera, so count 7.3 W per camera on the switch budget. Use Cat5e or Cat6 copper up to 100 m per run.
4.0 mm fixed lens on a moving head: what you actually see
The lens does not zoom: at any moment the camera sees a 74.3° slice, about 15.2 m wide at 10 m, and the pan-tilt head moves that slice around 345°. At 10 m it puts about 127 pixels on each meter, so faces are identifiable to 6.7 m and known people recognizable to 13.3 m. The 4 MP IPC-P224-AF40C has practically the same view (74.5°) but identifies faces to 9.0 m.

|---|---|
| Horizontal view angle | 74.3° |
| Vertical view angle | 39.3° |

| Width covered at 10 m | 15.2 m |
| Pixels per meter at 10 m | 127 px/m |
| Identify a stranger's face up to | 6.7 m |
| Recognize someone you know up to | 13.3 m |
| Observe what is happening up to | 26.7 m |
| Detect that something is there up to | 66.7 m |
- Use presets for the spots that matter: aim one at the gate or door within 6.7 m for faces, and others at the driveway and yard for overview.
- Remember it records only where it is pointing: while it tracks someone in the yard, the gate is not in view. Where both must be watched all the time, add a fixed camera.
- IR and warm light both reach 30 m, so at night plan on 30 m, not the 66.7 m detect figure.
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 Pan-Tilt Camera FAQ — IPC-P222-AF40C
Does the IPC-P222-AF40C follow people automatically?
Yes — it is a pan-tilt camera with auto tracking: when ultra motion detection, which is based on human body and vehicle detection, picks up a target, the head turns to keep it in frame. Note the 4.0 mm lens is fixed, so it tracks by moving, not by optical zoom.
How does it see at night — color or black and white?
Both, your choice. Invisible 850 nm IR covers 30 m for discreet black-and-white monitoring, while the warm white light also reaches 30 m and keeps faces and clothing colors visible — this is the ColorHunter mode with 0.003 lux sensitivity at F1.6.
Can I talk to visitors through the camera?
Yes — two-way audio is supported with G.711U/G.711A at 64 Kbps and echo suppression, so you can warn off an intruder or guide a delivery from your phone or monitoring desk. High-decibel detection also raises an event when it hears unusually loud sound.
Does it deter intruders, not just record them?
It has an active side: the visible 30 m warm light shows the area is watched, and the sound-and-light alarm backs it up when a human or vehicle target is detected. Combined with auto tracking and two-way talk-down, it acts before the incident becomes a loss.
Can it record without an NVR, and does it survive outdoors?
Yes — a MicroSD card up to 512 GB records on the camera itself, so small sites can run without a recorder, and footage survives network drops. The IP66 housing handles rain and dust outdoors. Streams are H.265/H.264 dual streams at 1080p up to 25 fps, 128–6144 Kbps.
IPC-P222-AF40C or IPC-P224-AF40C: is the 4 MP version worth it?
Both have the same 4.0 mm view (74.3° against 74.5°), 345°/90° head, 20 presets, auto tracking, 30 m IR + 30 m warm light, two-way audio, IP66 and 7.3 W. The P224 identifies faces to 9.0 m instead of 6.7 m and recognizes known people to 18.0 m instead of 13.3 m, and adds Ultra 265 compression and a tampering alarm. Choose the P222 for close yards and doors where 6.7 m is enough and storage is tight.
Will the IPC-P222-AF40C work with a Hikvision, Dahua or other third-party NVR?
Plan on a Uniarch or Uniview NVR, or the Uniarch app on its own. The datasheet lists only SDK and API under compatible integration, with no ONVIF profile, although its security section mentions ONVIF authentication. A third-party NVR may get video over ONVIF or RTSP, but pan-tilt control, auto tracking, the warm light and two-way audio are unlikely to work there. Tell us your NVR model and we will confirm before you order.
Can the IPC-P222-AF40C patrol between several spots automatically?
It stores 20 presets and moves between them at 40°/s pan and 30°/s tilt, so a turn across the yard takes only a few seconds. Keep in mind that while it points at one preset the others are not recorded, and auto tracking takes the camera off its preset when someone walks through. For the one spot that must never be missed, such as the gate, use a fixed camera and let the P222 cover the rest.
How many days can the IPC-P222-AF40C record on a MicroSD card?
At the maximum 6144 Kbps with continuous recording it writes about 66.4 GB per day: about 1.9 days on a 128 GB card and 7.7 days on the maximum 512 GB card. At 2048 Kbps a 512 GB card lasts about 23 days. This model lists H.265 and H.264 but not Ultra 265, so recording only on human/vehicle events is the main way to stretch the card.
How many IPC-P222-AF40C cameras can one PoE switch power?
Count 7.3 W per camera, within one IEEE 802.3af port (15.4 W at the switch). Four cameras need 29.2 W and eight need 58.4 W, so the Uniarch SW-2106-LP (4 PoE ports, 60 W) is comfortable, while 8 cameras on the SW-2110-LP (8 PoE ports, 60 W) use almost all of its budget. If you will also power other devices from the same switch, choose one with a larger budget.
How do I view and control the IPC-P222-AF40C from my phone or PC?
Use the Uniarch app on the phone and the Uniarch client on a PC; both let you pan and tilt, call presets, talk through the speaker and play back the card. The web interface needs a plug-in for live view (IE 10+, Chrome 45+, Firefox 52+, Edge 79+), so the app or client is easier day to day. Up to 6 user accounts can be created, with administrator or common-user rights.
