It is available in two motorized 4X zoom variants: AHDZK covers 2.8-12mm with 60m smart IR, while AHDX4K covers 8-32mm for telephoto reach with 120m smart IR and a detection range beyond 640 m. Both variants share PoE+ (802.3at) power, an IP67/IK10 outdoor-rated body, a built-in heater, and face recognition with up to 16 libraries.
Is this the right camera for you?
Plain-language guide for buyers and installers — based only on what this camera actually does.
Perimeters & long-range sitesPorts, highways and large compounds — AHDX4K's telephoto end detects objects out to roughly 644 m.
Access control & watchlistsFace recognition against up to 16 libraries and 100,000 faces, with blocklist/allowlist comparison.
Traffic & vehicle monitoringMetadata analysis captures and classifies human bodies, faces, motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles.
Retail & transit crowd analyticsBuilt-in people flow counting and crowd density monitoring for footfall reporting.
Cold or harsh outdoor sitesBuilt-in heater plus -40°C to 60°C rating, IK10 impact resistance, and IP67 keep it running through rain, dust and cold.
Sites needing on-site audioBuilt-in mic and speaker support two-way audio — warn or talk to visitors directly from the camera.
Not the right pick if you need…
- Wi-Fi — this is a wired RJ45 Gigabit camera, no wireless radio
- Battery or solar-only power — it needs DC 12V or PoE+ (802.3at) wired power
- One lens covering ultra-wide and super-telephoto at once — pick AHDZK (2.8-12mm) or AHDX4K (8-32mm), not both together
- Discreet or compact mounting — this is a full-size 406mm bullet body, not a mini/covert form factor

Who uses it, where it goes and how to install it
Written for the IPC268EA-AHDZK-I1 / AHDX4K-I1 from its own specifications: 8 MP at 60 fps, 1/1.8" sensor, motorized 4X zoom (2.8–12 mm or 8–32 mm), 60 m or 120 m IR, PoE+.
Who it is for
- Large yards, depots and car parks — The AHDZK puts 3840 × 2160 on a wide scene and still identifies faces at 10.8 m at 2.8 mm, so one camera can replace two lower-resolution ones on a broad area.
- Perimeters, ports and road approaches — The AHDX4K at 32 mm identifies a face at 64.4 m and detects out to 644.4 m in daylight, with 120 m IR for night coverage along a fence or quay.
- Gated sites with watchlists — Face recognition on the camera with up to 16 libraries and 100000 faces, blocklist and allowlist comparison, and alarm outputs to trigger a siren or relay.
- Cold, dusty or exposed locations — Built-in heater, -40 °C to 60 °C operation, IP67 and IK10 body and 6 KV surge protection suit mines, farms and mountain or desert sites.
Where and how to install
- Match the variant to the night distance — The AHDZK has 60 m IR, the AHDX4K 120 m. If the area you must see in the dark ends within about 60 m, the AHDZK fits; for fence lines or roads out to 120 m, take the AHDX4K or add site lighting.
- Height and angle — For faces, mount at about 2.5–3.5 m with a shallow tilt and aim at a gate or door people walk toward. For long perimeter views, a higher position is fine because the camera looks along the area, not down at people.
- Brackets and rigid mounting — The body is 406 mm long and weighs 1.92 kg. Corner: TR-UC08-C; pole: TR-UP06-C-IN-V2, which is used together with the bullet junction box. At the 32 mm end, any pole sway shows as a shaking picture, so use a thick or guyed pole.
- Keep the IR path clear — Eaves, walls, branches or fence wire close to the lens reflect the 850 nm IR and wash the night image white or pull the focus to the foreground. Leave the first few meters in front of the camera empty.
- Weather, cable and surge — The body is IP67, but the tail cable (RJ45, Ø5.5 mm power, audio, alarm and RS485 wires) must sit in a junction box. Surge protection is 6 KV; on poles and long outdoor runs add a surge protector and a proper earth.
- Backlight and headlights — 140 dB WDR and HLC handle bright doorways and headlights, but placement matters more: do not aim straight into the rising or setting sun, and aim slightly across a driveway rather than head-on into the lights.
AHDZK or AHDX4K: how far each end of the zoom reaches
Both variants have the same 8 MP sensor and 4X zoom; they cover different focal ranges. Even fully zoomed, the AHDZK identifies faces to 18.0 m, while the AHDX4K starts at 24.0 m and reaches 64.4 m. By day the lenses see far beyond the IR; at night plan on 60 m (AHDZK) or 120 m (AHDX4K) unless the site is lit.

| Power consumption | 16 W | 16 W | 19 W | 19 W |
- Pick the AHDZK for yards, car parks and building fronts where people pass within about 18 m and the night area ends within 60 m.
- Pick the AHDX4K for gates, roads and fence lines 25–65 m away where faces matter, or 100–120 m away where you need to recognize people and see them at night.
- Zoom narrows the view: the closer you zoom toward the tele end, the less width you cover, so mixed sites often use an AHDZK for the overview and an AHDX4K for the one entrance that matters.
Face and detection distances are the manufacturer's DORI figures, measured in daylight. This page's specifications do not list the field-of-view angles, so scene widths are not calculated here; ask us for the angles if you need to plan coverage width.

8MP LightHunter Zoom Bullet FAQ — IPC268EA-AHDZK/AHDX4K-I1
Will it work with my existing third-party NVR?
Yes — it is ONVIF conformant with Profile S, G, T and M, plus API and SDK integration, so it registers with ONVIF-compatible recorders and VMS platforms. Protocol support includes RTSP, RTMP, HTTP, HTTPS, IPv4/IPv6, DHCP and NTP for varied network setups.
AHDZK or AHDX4K — which lens variant do I need?
Both are 8MP with 4X motorized zoom and P-iris. AHDZK covers 2.8–12 mm at F1.2 for wide scenes, identifying at 10.8–18.0 m. AHDX4K is an 8–32 mm F1.6 telephoto, identifying at 24.0–64.4 m and detecting out to 644.4 m for long roads and perimeters.
What image quality does 8MP at 60 fps give?
The main stream records 3840×2160 (4K) at up to 60 fps — high detail and smooth motion together, useful for plates and faces at speed. 140 dB WDR handles severe backlight, and the 1/1.8-inch sensor rates down to 0.001 lux color on the AHDZK variant.
What AI features run on board?
Face recognition with up to 16 libraries and 100,000 faces, metadata capture for human bodies, motor and non-motor vehicles, Smart Intrusion Prevention with false-alarm filtering, and people flow counting with crowd density monitoring — all processed on the camera itself.
Does it support local storage and two-way audio?
Yes — MicroSD up to 512 GB with ANR, which bridges recordings through network outages, plus NAS (NFS) network storage. Two-way audio is supported with echo suppression, G.711U/G.711A at 128 Kbps and 16 kHz sampling, so guards can speak through the camera.
What are the night range and power requirements?
Smart IR runs at 850 nm with Auto/Manual control — up to 60 m on this variant — using a single IR illuminator with no warm-light module. Power is PoE+ over one cable, and the IP67/IK10 housing resists weather, impact and vandalism.
How much NVR hard disk do I need for 30 days of recording with the IPC268EA?
It depends on the bit rate you set; the camera allows 128 Kbps to 16 Mbps. At the 16 Mbps maximum with continuous recording one camera writes about 172.8 GB per day, so 30 days need about 5.2 TB per camera; at 8 Mbps it is about 86.4 GB per day and 2.6 TB for 30 days. An 8 TB disk therefore holds about 46 days at 16 Mbps or about 93 days at 8 Mbps for one camera. Ultra 265 and event-based recording cut this further.
The IPC268EA-AHDX4K-I1 is sharp by day but soft at night when zoomed in. How do I fix it?
Infrared light focuses at a slightly different point than daylight, and the effect is strongest at the long end of the zoom; at 8 MP small focus errors are easier to see. After setting the zoom, check the image after dark with IR on, refocus from the web interface if needed, then confirm the day image again. Also clean the front glass and remove spider webs: IR lights them up and the lens may focus on them instead of the far scene.
What can I connect to the alarm inputs and outputs of the IPC268EA?
There are 3 alarm inputs and 2 alarm outputs. Inputs take dry contacts such as a door contact, PIR or beam detector; outputs can switch a siren, strobe or gate relay through an external relay sized for the load, for example when a blocklisted face or a crossline event is detected. The RS485 port is also listed; tell us which device you want to connect to it and we will confirm support before you order.
What network and switch do I need for several IPC268EA cameras, and how do I view them on a phone?
Each camera needs a PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) port, since it draws 16 W (AHDZK) or 19 W (AHDX4K), and the camera port is gigabit. Plan the uplink to the NVR as a gigabit link: 10 cameras at the 16 Mbps maximum add up to 160 Mbps. For phones, use the UNV-Link app and let it play the 1080P or D1 sub stream, which loads much faster over mobile data than the 8 MP main stream.
Which bracket do I need to mount the IPC268EA on a pole or a building corner?
On a flat wall the camera mounts directly. For an outside building corner use TR-UC08-C. For a pole use TR-UP06-C-IN-V2, which is a pole adapter for the bullet junction box only, so order the junction box together with it; the box also keeps the RJ45 and power tail dry. The camera is 406 mm long and weighs 1.92 kg, so use a pole that does not sway in wind, especially for the AHDX4K at 32 mm. Tell us the pole diameter and we will confirm the parts before you order.
