The Uniarch IPC-T124-APF28K is a 4MP fixed eyeball network camera with an IP67 outdoor-rated body and a built-in microphone. 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.
Shops & storefrontsSee who enters, and the built-in mic picks up what is said at the counter — the low-profile eyeball shape blends into a ceiling or corner.
Home gates & yardsSmart IR turns on at night for discreet black-and-white night vision — the camera watches without lighting up the scene.
Warehouse & site perimetersIP67 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.
Kiosks & quick retrofitsOne PoE cable does power + video — no electrician needed on site, quick to install and move.
Not the right pick if you need…
- Full-color night vision — this is IR-only, night video is black & white, not color
- Two-way talk — it has a built-in mic but no speaker
- Wi-Fi — this is a wired RJ45 camera
- Zoom or an alternate lens option — this model has a fixed 2.8 mm lens only
- Vandal-resistant IK rating — this model's datasheet lists no IK protection rating (IP67 dust/water rating 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 IPC-T124-APF28K from its own datasheet: 4 MP (2560 × 1440), fixed 2.8 mm lens with a 97.0° view, Smart IR up to 30 m, built-in mic, microSD slot, PoE or DC 12 V, IP67.
Who it is for
- Shops, pharmacies and counters — With 2560 pixels across, faces are identifiable up to 6.3 m even with the wide 2.8 mm lens, so one camera can cover the counter and the door, and the built-in mic records what is said.
- Homes and villas — IP67 and -30 °C to 60 °C allow outdoor use under an eave at the front door, garage or yard; the 30 m Smart IR gives black-and-white night video without lighting up the area.
- Small offices and clinics — A tampering alarm reports if the lens is covered, and the microSD slot (up to 512 GB) with ANR keeps recording on the camera if the network to the NVR drops.
- Integrators on mixed systems — ONVIF Profile S, G and T, MJPEG besides Ultra 265/H.265/H.264, and a choice of 802.3af PoE or DC 12 V make it easy to add to an existing third-party NVR or VMS.
Where and how to install
- Height and aim — Mount at about 2.5–3 m with a gentle downward tilt, and aim it so people walk toward it within 6.3 m, the face identification distance. Higher mounting shows the top of heads; lower is easy to tamper with.
- Ceiling, wall or corner — The 3-axis mount (pan 0–360°, tilt 0–80°, rotate 0–360°) works on a ceiling or flat on a wall; rotate the module to level the image. Use TR-WM03-D-IN-V2 or TR-JB07/WM03-G-IN-V2 to stand off a wall, TR-UC08-C-V2 for a corner, and TR-SE24-IN (200 mm) or TR-SE24-A-IN (500 mm) to drop below a high ceiling.
- Keep joints dry — Outdoors, hide the RJ45 joint and the DC plug in the TR-JB03-I-IN junction box (rear wiring) and seal conduit with the TR-A01-IN gland. The camera is IP67, but water that gets into an exposed RJ45 joint is the most common outdoor failure.
- Power and cable — Maximum draw is 3.3 W, far below the 15.4 W of an 802.3af PoE port, so PoE budget is rarely the limit. Keep each Ethernet run under 100 m; if you use DC 12 V instead, size the adapter for the cable length so the voltage stays within ±25%.
- What to avoid — Do not place the lens close to a wall, eave edge or gutter that reflects the 850 nm IR back, and avoid aiming into strong backlight such as a glass door with daylight behind it: WDR is digital (DWDR), so use BLC or HLC and frame the bright area small.
Fixed 2.8 mm at 4 MP: what you actually see
This model comes only with a 2.8 mm lens. The 97.0° view covers about 22.6 m of width at 10 m, and the 2560-pixel sensor still puts about 113 pixels on each meter there, about 1.4× the detail of the 2 MP IPC-T122-APF28K in the same housing. That is why its face identification distance is 6.3 m instead of 4.5 m.
| APF28 · 2.8 mm | |
|---|---|
| Horizontal view angle | 97.0° |
| Width covered at 5 m | 11.3 m |
| Width covered at 10 m | 22.6 m |
| Pixels per meter at 10 m | 113 |
| 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 |
- Good fit: an entrance, shop floor or driveway where people pass within 6.3 m and you also want the wider scene; at 5 m it covers 11.3 m of width.
- For a gate or fence 10–20 m away, a fixed 2.8 mm lens is too wide for faces; consider the varifocal IPC-T314-ADZK instead.
Widths are calculated from the horizontal view angle (width = 2 × distance × tan(angle ÷ 2)); pixels per meter = 2560 horizontal pixels ÷ width at 10 m; face distances are the manufacturer's DORI figures.

4MP PoE Eyeball Camera FAQ — IPC-T124-APF28K
How far does the IPC-T124-APF28K see at night?
The 850 nm Smart IR reaches up to 30 m, with the IR-cut filter switching to black-and-white automatically. In color the sensor works down to 0.02 lux at F2.1. Smart IR adjusts intensity so faces close to the lens are not washed out.
What extra detail do I get from 4 MP resolution?
Main stream records 2560×1440 at up to 20 fps, or 1080P at 30 fps if you prefer smoother motion. With the 2.8 mm lens and 97° horizontal view, DORI distances are: detect 63 m, observe 25.2 m, recognize 12.6 m and identify 6.3 m.
Does it record sound?
Yes, a built-in microphone records G.711U/G.711A audio at 64 Kbps, and audio detection can raise alerts on loud sounds. Two-way audio is not supported on this model, so it captures sound but cannot be used as an intercom.
What alarm functions does it have besides motion detection?
Basic detection covers motion detection, ultra motion detection, audio detection and tampering alarm — the last one warns you if someone covers or blocks the lens. Alerts reach you through the recorder or platform the camera is connected to.
How is it powered and does it survive rain and dust?
PoE power means one network cable carries video and electricity from your PoE switch or NVR — no separate power adapter at the camera point. The IP67-rated housing is sealed against dust and heavy rain, and a MicroSD slot handles local backup recording.
The IPC-T124-APF28K records 4 MP at only 20 fps. Is that enough?
For security recording, yes: 20 fps shows walking people and passing cars smoothly, and many installers record at 15–20 fps anyway to save disk. Sharpness of moving people depends more on shutter speed than frame rate; in the image settings you can set the shutter manually (1 to 1/100000 s). If you need 30 fps, switch the main stream to 1080P, which runs at up to 30 fps on this model.
How many days will the IPC-T124-APF28K record on a microSD card or NVR disk?
At the maximum bit rate of 6144 Kbps with continuous recording it writes about 66.4 GB per day: about 3.9 days on a 256 GB card, about 7.7 days on the maximum 512 GB card, and about 2 TB of NVR disk per camera for 30 days. At an assumed 4 Mbps it is about 43.2 GB per day, so the 512 GB card lasts about 11.9 days. Ultra 265 and motion-only recording stretch this further.
What is the difference between the IPC-T124-APF28K and the IPC-T134-AF28-ECO?
Both are 4 MP turrets with a 2.8 mm lens, a 97° view, 30 m IR, a mic and the same DORI distances. This model adds a microSD slot, a DC 12 V input besides PoE, an IP67 rating, ONVIF Profile G and MJPEG. The ECO model is PoE-only with no card slot and no IP rating in its datasheet, but adds Human body detection 2.0 and records 4 MP at up to 25 fps. Choose this one outdoors or where edge recording matters, the ECO indoors on an NVR when people-only alerts matter.
Will the IPC-T124-APF28K work with a Hikvision, Dahua or other non-Uniview NVR?
Usually yes for video: it supports ONVIF Profile S, G and T and RTSP, which most third-party NVRs and VMS use to add cameras. Set the stream to H.265 or H.264 rather than Ultra 265 on another brand, and expect tampering, audio and motion events to be fully supported only on Uniview/Uniarch recorders. Send us your NVR model and we will confirm before you order.
Will spiders and insects cause false alarms on the IPC-T124-APF28K at night?
They can: the 850 nm IR LEDs sit next to the lens, insects flying close to it look large and bright, and webs across the lens move in the wind. The datasheet lists motion, Ultra motion, audio and tampering detection but no human/vehicle classification, so draw the detection area tightly, lower the sensitivity, keep the camera away from lamps and plants, and clean webs off the cover regularly. Where IR is not needed all night, the IR On/Off control can be set to manual.
