The Uniarch IPC-T244-ADF28(40)K-WP is a 4MP fixed turret network camera from the Halo Series ColorHunter Wise-ISP line. Its F1.0 large-aperture lens and warm-light illuminator (up to 30 m) keep video in full color at night instead of switching to black-and-white IR, and Wise-ISP processing optimizes color, detail and smear in very low light. It supports MicroSD edge storage up to 512 GB, 120 dB true WDR, an NDAA-compliant build, and dual power (PoE or DC 12V). It is offered with two fixed lenses: 2.8 mm (AF28, wider view) or 4.0 mm (AF40, longer reach).
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 full color, day or night, and the built-in mic records what is said at the counter. The compact ceiling or wall-mounted turret body blends into the shop interior. AF28 covers the whole shop floor from a corner.
Home gates & yardsThe warm light turns on at night — visitors are visible in full color and intruders know they are seen, no black-and-white IR switch needed.
Warehouse & site perimetersIP67 body and −30 to 60 °C rating survive rain, dust and heat. 120dB true WDR keeps license plates and faces readable against bright headlights or sky glare.
Residential compoundsUltra motion detection tells vehicles apart from people, cutting false alerts from passing cars or blowing leaves.
Sites needing local backupA MicroSD card up to 512 GB keeps footage on the camera itself — useful as a backup even where an NVR is also recording.
Kiosks & fuel stationsWorks on PoE or a local DC 12V adapter — pick whichever power source is already run to the site.
Not the right pick if you need…
- Invisible/covert night vision — the warm light is clearly visible, unlike IR
- Two-way talk — it has a mic but no speaker
- Wi-Fi — this is a wired RJ45 camera
- Zoom — the lens is fixed (2.8 or 4.0 mm, chosen at purchase)
- Alarm in/out wiring for sirens or sensors

Who uses it, where it goes and how to install it
Written for the Uniarch IPC-T244-ADF28(40)K-WP from its official datasheet: 4 MP ColorHunter turret with a 1/1.8" sensor, F1.0 lens in 2.8 mm or 4.0 mm, 30 m warm light, 120 dB WDR, MicroSD up to 512 GB, PoE or 12 V DC.
Who it is for
- Shops, showrooms and restaurants — The 2.8 mm version covers about 13.7 m of width from 5 m away, so one turret sees a whole room, in color day and night, with the built-in mic recording at the counter.
- Gates, driveways and building entrances — The 4.0 mm version identifies a face up to 6.2 m and the 30 m warm light keeps it in color, while the visible light deters before anything happens.
- Car parks and yards with mixed lighting — 120 dB true WDR handles headlights and bright sky, Smart Illumination keeps near objects from overexposing, and the sodium-lamp white balance keeps colors natural under orange street lamps.
- Integrators adding color cameras to an existing system — ONVIF Profile S, G and T, a 13-language web interface, PoE or 12 V DC at max. 3.5 W, and ANR to a MicroSD card make it easy to drop into mixed sites.
Where and how to install
- Height and face distance — Mount at about 2.5–3.5 m (tilt range 0° to 75°) and aim at a door or gate where people walk toward the camera: within 4.3 m with the 2.8 mm lens, 6.2 m with the 4.0 mm lens.
- Keep the light cone clear — The 2.8 mm view is very wide (107.6°), so walls and eaves at the edge of the picture are easy to catch: move the turret away from them or the warm light will reflect and wash out the image. Aim it away from neighbors' windows.
- Hallways: use corridor mode — For corridors and aisles, rotate the camera 90° on its 3-axis mount and select the 9:16 corridor mode (90° clockwise or anti-clockwise flip).
- Power, cable joint and surge — Use IEEE 802.3af PoE over one Cat5e/Cat6 cable up to 100 m, or the Ø5.5 mm 12 V DC input (12 V ±25%). The body is IP67 but the cable tail is not: put the joints in the TR-JB03-I-IN junction box, with the TR-A01-IN gland for conduit. Surge protection is 4 kV; add a surge protector and earthing on long outdoor runs.
- Brackets — Wall: TR-WM03-D-IN-V2 or TR-JB07/WM03-G-IN-V2; outside corner: TR-UC08-C-V2; indoor high ceilings: TR-CM24-IN with the 200 mm TR-SE24-IN or 500 mm TR-SE24-A-IN pole.
2.8 mm or 4.0 mm: what you actually see
Same 4 MP sensor and F1.0 aperture, different lens. On this model the 2.8 mm is unusually wide (107.6°), so it covers a lot of width but identifies faces only to 4.3 m. The 4.0 mm reaches about 1.4× farther (6.2 m for faces) and covers about 76% of the width; at 10 m it puts about 123 pixels on each meter of scene versus about 94 for the 2.8 mm.

|---|---|---|
| Horizontal view angle | 107.6° | 92.1° |
| Width covered at 5 m | 13.7 m | 10.4 m |
| Width covered at 10 m | 27.3 m | 20.7 m |
| Pixels per meter at 10 m | ≈94 px/m | ≈123 px/m |
| Identify a stranger's face up to | 4.3 m | 6.2 m |
| Recognize someone you know up to | 8.7 m | 12.4 m |
| Observe what is happening up to | 17.4 m | 24.8 m |
| Detect that something is there up to | 43.4 m | 62.1 m |
- Pick 2.8 mm to cover a whole room, shop floor or yard from a corner: 13.7 m of width at 5 m.
- Pick 4.0 mm for a gate, door or driveway where faces matter beyond 4.3 m: it identifies to 6.2 m and recognizes to 12.4 m.
- A common pair: 2.8 mm for the overview and 4.0 mm aimed at 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; distances are the manufacturer's DORI figures from the official datasheet.

4MP Color Night Vision Turret FAQ — IPC-T244-ADF28(40)K-WP
Why does the IPC-T244-ADF28(40)K-WP see color in the dark?
Three things combine: a large 1/1.8-inch 4 MP sensor, an F1.0 aperture rated down to 0.0003 lux in color, and Wise-ISP processing. When the scene is truly black, the built-in warm white light reaching 30 m keeps the image in full color instead of switching to IR black-and-white.
Which lens should I choose, 2.8 mm or 4.0 mm?
The 2.8 mm (ADF28) covers 107.6° horizontally, detects at 43.4 m and identifies at 4.3 m — suited to wide courtyards and shop fronts. The 4.0 mm (ADF40) covers 92.1°, detects at 62.1 m and identifies at 6.2 m, suiting driveways, corridors and fence lines.
How does it perform against headlights and harsh sun?
True 120 dB WDR balances bright and dark zones in one frame, so a person in front of a sunlit entrance keeps facial detail. HLC cuts headlight glare on night driveways, BLC recovers backlit subjects, and digital defog improves hazy or dusty scenes.
Can it work without an NVR using an SD card?
Yes — it accepts a MicroSD card up to 512 GB for edge recording, which suits kiosks, small shops and remote gates that have no recorder. Ultra 265 compression stretches card capacity, and footage stays safe locally even if the network link drops.
Is it NDAA compliant and rated for outdoor use?
Yes to both. NDAA compliance qualifies it for government, banking and contractor tenders that exclude non-compliant brands, and the IP67 housing handles dust and heavy rain. The bracket gives 0–360° pan, 0–75° tilt and 0–360° rotation for precise aiming on walls or eaves.
What resolution and bandwidth does it deliver?
Main stream runs 4 MP (2560×1440) at up to 25 fps, with 3 MP and 1080P modes at 30 fps for smoother motion. Compression options are Ultra 265, H.265, H.264 and MJPEG at 128–6144 Kbps, in dual streams so recording and mobile viewing do not compete.
Can I turn off or reduce the warm light on the IPC-T244-ADF28(40)K-WP?
Yes. The light control is Auto/Manual, and the datasheet lists Smart Illumination, which adjusts the light so near objects are not overexposed. With the light off, the F1.0 lens and large 1/1.8" sensor still give color down to 0.0003 lux where there is some street or yard lighting; in full darkness the picture goes dark, because there is no IR. Lights near a lens draw insects, so use ultra motion detection and clean the cover regularly to avoid web-triggered alerts.
Why does the 2.8 mm IPC-T244-ADF28(40)K-WP identify faces only to 4.3 m?
Because its view is very wide: 107.6° spreads the 2560 pixels over about 27.3 m of width at 10 m, about 94 pixels per meter. That is good for overview but leaves fewer pixels on each face. If faces at a door 5–6 m away matter, choose the 4.0 mm version (identify 6.2 m), or move the 2.8 mm camera closer to the entrance.
Will the IPC-T244-ADF28(40)K-WP work with a Hikvision, Dahua or other third-party NVR?
For video, usually yes: it supports ONVIF Profile S, G and T plus RTSP, which most third-party NVRs and VMS use. Live view and 4 MP recording work over ONVIF; ultra motion detection, tampering alarm and light control are fully supported on Uniarch/Uniview recorders and may be limited on other brands. Tell us your NVR model and we will confirm before you order.
What happens to recordings if the network to the NVR goes down?
Fit a MicroSD card (up to 512 GB) and enable ANR, listed under the IPC-T244-ADF28(40)K-WP's network storage. During the outage the camera records to the card, and a compatible Uniarch/Uniview NVR can fill the gap from it when the link returns. At the 6144 Kbps maximum a 512 GB card holds about 7.7 days of continuous 4 MP video, so even a long outage is covered; with a third-party NVR the card still works as a separate backup.
IPC-T244-ADF28(40)K-WP or the 2 MP IPC-T242-ADF28(40)K-WP: is 4 MP worth it?
Usually yes when faces or plates matter. This model uses a 4 MP (2560 × 1440) sensor of 1/1.8", and its datasheet publishes face identification distances (4.3 m and 6.2 m), which the 2 MP version's datasheet does not. Both share the F1.0 ColorHunter design, 30 m warm light, MicroSD and PoE or 12 V; the 2 MP IPC-T242-ADF28(40)K-WP saves disk space and suits overview scenes.
