The Uniview IPC2122LB-SF28(40)-A is a 2MP mini fixed bullet network camera with Smart IR night vision up to 30 m, single-cable PoE installation, and an IP67 outdoor-rated body for −30 °C to 60 °C operation. It ships with two fixed lens options: 2.8 mm (SF28, 101.1° wide view) or 4.0 mm (SF40, 82.5° longer-reach view). It supports Ultra 265 compression to reduce NVR storage and bandwidth, and is NDAA compliant.
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 exits. SF28's 101.1° view covers the whole shop floor from a corner; Ultra 265 keeps the recordings small.
Home gates & drivewaysSmart IR sees up to 30 m at night in black & white. SF40's narrower 82.5° view watches the full length of a gate or driveway.
Warehouse & site perimetersIP67 body and −30 °C to 60 °C rating survive rain, dust and heat. PoE single-cable install simplifies mounting on poles and walls.
Government & critical-infrastructure projectsThe camera is NDAA compliant, relevant for procurement that requires equipment from non-restricted sources.
Small offices & multi-camera sitesUltra 265 compression and dual video streams keep bandwidth and NVR storage use low across many cameras.
Network-security-conscious deploymentsHTTPS encryption, RTSP/HTTP/ONVIF authentication, ARP protection and watermarking harden the camera against common network attacks.
Not the right pick if you need…
- Two-way talk — no built-in microphone or speaker at all
- Wi-Fi — this is a wired RJ45 camera
- Zoom — the lens is fixed (2.8 or 4.0 mm, chosen at purchase)
- MicroSD card recording — it records to an NVR, no local storage slot
- Color night vision — this camera has Smart IR (black & white) only, no warm-light illuminator
- 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 | SF28 · 2.8 mm · 101.1° | SF40 · 4.0 mm · 82.5° |
|---|---|---|
| 5 m16 ft | 12.2 m39.9 ft | 8.8 m28.8 ft |
| 10 m33 ft | 24.3 m79.7 ft | 17.5 m57.5 ft |
| 15 m49 ft | 36.5 m120 ft | 26.3 m86.3 ft |

| 30 m98 ft | 72.9 m239 ft | 52.6 m173 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 IPC2122LB-SF28(40)-A from its own specifications: 2 MP, 2.8 mm or 4.0 mm fixed lens, Smart IR 30 m, PoE 5.5 W, IP67, NDAA compliant, no mic or microSD.
Who it is for
- Government and tender projects — NDAA compliant, with CE, FCC, CB, UL/CUL, RoHS and WEEE listed, and no microphone, which helps where audio recording is not allowed.
- Multi-camera sites on one NVR — A video-only camera: Ultra 265 and dual streams keep bandwidth and disk use low, one IEEE 802.3af PoE cable per camera at max. 5.5 W.
- Shops, gates and driveways — The 2.8 mm version covers 12.2 m of width from 5 m away for a shop floor; the 4.0 mm version identifies a face at 6.2 m at a gate.
- Security-conscious IT networks — HTTPS encryption, digest authentication for RTSP, HTTP and ONVIF, IP address filtering and ARP protection, with up to 32 user accounts.
Where and how to install
- Height and angle — Mount at about 2.5–3.5 m with a shallow downward tilt. Lower is easy to tamper with; much higher shows the top of heads instead of faces.
- Faces need a choke point — Aim at a door or gate where people walk toward the camera, within the identify distance: 4.5 m with the 2.8 mm lens, 6.2 m with the 4.0 mm lens.
- Keep the IR clear — Do not mount tight under eaves, close to a wall that is in the picture, or behind window glass: the 850 nm IR reflects back and the night image turns white or foggy.
- Protect the recording path — There is no microSD slot, so every second of video depends on the cable, PoE switch and NVR. Use solid copper Cat5e/Cat6 up to 100 m per run, crimp and test every RJ45, and put the switch and NVR on a UPS.
- Weather, cable and surge — The body is IP67, but the RJ45 and 12 V tail are not: put them in the TR-JB05-A-IN junction box and seal the conduit entry with the TR-A01-IN NPT 3/4" gland. Surge protection is 4 kV; on poles or long outdoor runs add a surge protector and earthing.
- Brackets — Pole: TR-UP06-B-IN, or TR-UP06-C-IN-V2 when you use the junction box (it fits the box only); building corner: TR-UC08-C-V2.
2.8 mm or 4.0 mm: what you actually see
Same 2 MP sensor, different lens. The 4.0 mm sees about 1.4× farther (identify 6.2 m vs 4.5 m) but covers about 70% of the width. At 10 m it puts about 110 pixels on every meter of the scene versus about 79 for the 2.8 mm.
| SF28 · 2.8 mm | SF40 · 4.0 mm | |
|---|---|---|
| Horizontal view angle | 101.1° | 82.5° |
| Width covered at 5 m | 12.2 m | 8.8 m |
| Width covered at 10 m | 24.3 m | 17.5 m |
| Pixels per meter at 10 m | 79 | 110 |
| Identify a stranger's face up to | 4.5 m | 6.2 m |
| Recognize someone you know up to | 9.0 m | 12.4 m |
| Detect that something is there up to (daytime) | 45.0 m | 64.3 m |
| IR range at night | 30 m | 30 m |
- Pick 2.8 mm for a shop floor, reception or small yard seen from a corner: from 5 m away it covers 12.2 m of width.
- Pick 4.0 mm for a gate, driveway or corridor where faces matter at 5–6 m: it identifies a face at 6.2 m.
- For a fence line at night, space cameras at 30 m or less whichever lens you choose: that is the IR limit.
Widths are calculated from the horizontal view angle (width = 2 × distance × tan(angle ÷ 2)); pixels per meter = 1920 ÷ width at 10 m; face and detect distances are the manufacturer's DORI figures.

2MP PoE Bullet Camera FAQ — IPC2122LB-SF28(40)-A
How far can the IPC2122LB-SF28(40)-A see at night?
Smart IR reaches up to 30 m (98.4 ft) at 850 nm — invisible light, so nothing shows the camera is recording. Night images are black and white, and the camera keeps working down to 0 lux with IR on. Smart IR also stops close objects from over-exposing.
Should I order the 2.8 mm or the 4.0 mm lens?
The 2.8 mm gives a 101.1° horizontal view for entrances and small yards, detecting people up to 45 m. The 4.0 mm narrows to 82.5° but reaches farther: 64.3 m detection and 6.2 m identification, versus 4.5 m on the 2.8 mm. Pick by distance to your target.
Will it work with my existing NVR or VMS?
Yes. It integrates over ONVIF Profile S and Profile T, plus API and SDK. Standard protocols include RTSP, RTMP, HTTP, DHCP and NTP, so most third-party recorders and VMS platforms can pull the stream directly. Up to 32 user accounts are supported on two permission levels.
How is the camera powered and can it stay outdoors?
It runs on PoE, so a single network cable carries both power and video — practical when mains sockets are far from the mounting point. The IP67-rated housing handles rain and dust, and the bracket adjusts 360° pan, 90° tilt and 360° rotation for wall or eave mounting.
How much bandwidth and storage does the 2MP stream use?
The main stream runs 1080p at up to 30 fps, with bit rate adjustable from 128 Kbps to 6144 Kbps. Ultra 265 with U-code on the main stream cuts bandwidth well below H.264 levels, and dual streams let the NVR record full quality while phones view a lighter sub stream.
Is this model suitable for NDAA or government projects?
Yes, the IPC2122LB-SF28(40)-A is NDAA compliant. Security functions include HTTPS encryption, strong password enforcement, RTSP and HTTP authentication, IP address filtering, ARP protection and operation-log export — the checklist items many public tenders ask installers to document before approval.
What happens to recording on the IPC2122LB-SF28(40)-A if the network or NVR goes down?
That period is lost. This model has no microSD slot and no edge storage, so it cannot buffer video and send it later. Protect the path instead: a UPS for the PoE switch and NVR, tested Cat5e/Cat6 runs under 100 m, and surge protection on outdoor cables. If local backup matters, the IPC2122LB-ASF28(40)K-A has a microSD slot.
Can I add audio to the IPC2122LB-SF28(40)-A?
No. It has no built-in mic, no speaker and no audio input or output terminal, so an external microphone cannot be connected to the camera. If you need sound at a counter or entrance, choose the IPC2122LB-ASF28(40)K-A, which has a built-in mic, or record audio through a separate device on the NVR if your NVR supports it.
How do I reduce false motion alarms on the IPC2122LB-SF28(40)-A?
Its only event is plain motion detection, with no human or vehicle filter, so tune it by placement and settings: draw the detection area away from trees, roads, flags and reflective surfaces, lower the sensitivity, and test at night when insects fly through the IR beam. Keep spider webs off the front glass during maintenance. If people-only alarms are required, the IPC2122LB-ADF28(40)KM-H offers cross line and intrusion based on human body detection.
How many IPC2122LB-SF28(40)-A cameras can one PoE switch power?
Count 5.5 W per camera (its maximum) and compare with the switch's total PoE budget: 8 cameras need about 44 W and 16 cameras about 88 W, plus some margin. Any IEEE 802.3af port is enough per camera, since 802.3af supplies up to 15.4 W at the switch port. The camera port is 10/100 Mbps, so a Fast Ethernet PoE switch works; use a gigabit uplink to the NVR when you connect many cameras.
Is the IPC2122LB-SF28(40)-A web interface available in languages other than English?
No, the web client language is listed as English only, and live view in the browser is plug-in free in Chrome 57+, Firefox 58+ or Edge 16+. Usually the installer sets the camera up once in English and the end user then works through the NVR, the EZStation PC client or the phone APP. If the customer must configure the camera itself in Spanish or Russian, the IPC2122LB-ADF28(40)KM-H has a 4-language web interface.
