The Uniview IPC324LB-SF28(40)-A is a 4MP fixed IR dome network camera with Smart IR night vision up to 30 m, single-cable PoE installation, and an IP67 + IK10 vandal-resistant body rated for −30 °C to 60 °C operation. It ships with two fixed lens options: 2.8 mm (SF28, 97.0° wide view) or 4.0 mm (SF40, 79.0° 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.
Retail ceilings & corridorsDome housing blends into ceilings and hallways. SF28's 97.0° view covers a whole aisle or corridor from one mounting point; Ultra 265 keeps the recordings small.
Entrances & lobbiesSmart IR sees up to 30 m at night in black & white. SF40's narrower 79.0° view watches the full depth of an entrance or lobby.
Warehouses & exposed perimetersIP67 + IK10 vandal-resistant body survives rain, dust, heat and deliberate knocks — built for exposed mounting points.
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 · 97.0° | SF40 · 79.0° |
|---|---|---|
| 5 m16 ft | 11.3 m37.1 ft | 8.2 m27.0 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 IPC324LB-SF28(40)-A from its own specifications: 4 MP, 2.8 mm or 4.0 mm fixed lens, 30 m Smart IR, PoE (802.3af, max. 5.0 W), IP67/IK10, records to an NVR.
Who it is for
- Projects with an NVR doing the recording — No card slot, mic or alarm wiring to configure: the camera sends video, the NVR stores it. ONVIF Profile S/T and RTSP make it addable to Uniview and most third-party NVRs.
- Government and NDAA-sensitive buyers — Listed as NDAA compliant, with HTTPS, RTSP/HTTP/ONVIF authentication and ARP protection for tenders that check cyber settings.
- Shops, corridors and lobbies — The SF28 (97.0°) covers 11.3 m of width from 5 m; the SF40 (79.0°) looks deeper into an entrance or lobby and identifies faces up to 9.0 m.
- Warehouses, schools and exposed walls — IP67 and IK10 with a −30 °C to 60 °C range handle rain, dust and knocks at reachable heights.
Where and how to install
- Height and angle — Mount at about 2.5–3.5 m with a shallow tilt. Adjustment is 2-axis only (pan 3–360°, tilt 0–68°), so for views along a wall use a wall bracket instead of a steep tilt from the ceiling.
- Faces need a choke point — Aim at a door or corridor where people walk toward the camera, within the identify distance: 6.3 m with the SF28, 9.0 m with the SF40.
- Brackets and mounts — Wall: TR-WM03-D-IN-V2 (metal) or TR-WM07P-B (plastic); with a cable box: TR-JB07/WM03-G-IN-V2. Ceiling with rear wiring: TR-JB03-G-IN; suspended ceiling: TR-FM116; high indoor ceilings: TR-CM24-IN with a TR-SE24-IN (200 mm) or TR-SE24-A-IN (500 mm) pole; corner: TR-UC08-C-V2; sloped surface: TR-UM06-E-IN.
- Backlight and IR glare — WDR is digital (DWDR), so avoid aiming at a bright glass door or window; shoot across the entrance from the inside wall instead, and use BLC/HLC if needed. At night keep eaves and close walls out of the frame so the 30 m IR does not reflect back.
- Weather, cable and surge — The body is IP67, but the RJ45 and 12 V tail need a junction box (TR-JB03-G-IN) or the TR-A01-IN NPT 3/4" gland. Surge protection is 4 kV; on long outdoor runs add a surge protector and earthing. Keep each Cat5e/Cat6 run within 100 m; the HS-205S sunshade helps on sun-exposed walls.
SF28 (2.8 mm) or SF40 (4.0 mm): what you actually see
Same 4 MP sensor, different lens. The SF40 sees about 1.4× farther (identify 9.0 m vs 6.3 m) but covers about 27% less width. At 10 m it puts about 155 pixels on every meter of the scene versus about 113 for the SF28.
| SF28 · 2.8 mm | SF40 · 4.0 mm | |
|---|---|---|
| Horizontal view angle | 97.0° | 79.0° |
| Width covered at 5 m | 11.3 m | 8.2 m |
| Width covered at 10 m | 22.6 m | 16.5 m |
| Pixels per meter at 10 m | ≈113 | ≈155 |
| Identify a stranger's face up to | 6.3 m | 9.0 m |
| Recognize someone you know up to | 12.6 m | 18.0 m |
| Detect that something is there up to | 63.0 m | 90.0 m |
- Pick SF28 for small shops, offices and rooms seen from a corner: from 5 m away it covers 11.3 m of width.
- Pick SF40 for an entrance or lobby 7–9 m deep, a driveway or a fence line: faces are still identifiable at 9.0 m.
- Not sure? Use an SF28 for the room overview and an SF40 aimed at the door where faces matter.
Widths are calculated from the horizontal view angle (width = 2 × distance × tan(angle ÷ 2)); pixels per meter = 2560 ÷ width at 10 m; face distances are the manufacturer's DORI figures.

4MP ONVIF PoE Dome FAQ — IPC324LB-SF28(40)-A
Can I add the IPC324LB-SF28(40)-A to a third-party NVR or VMS?
Yes. It supports ONVIF Profile S and Profile T plus API and SDK, so mixed-brand projects can pull its 4 MP stream into most recorders and VMS platforms. RTSP, RTMP, HTTPS, QoS and SSL/TLS are in the protocol list for custom or cloud integrations.
Why does NDAA compliance matter when buying cameras?
Many government, embassy, bank and multinational tenders now require NDAA-compliant video equipment. This model is NDAA compliant, so distributors and integrators can quote it on those projects without substitutions later — one SKU that passes procurement checks in regulated accounts.
What is the difference between the SF28 and SF40 versions?
Only the lens. SF28 has a 2.8 mm lens with a 97.0° horizontal view and 63 m person detection; SF40 has a 4.0 mm lens with 79.0° but 90 m detection and 9 m identification. Wide scene close up — SF28; longer reach down a corridor or driveway — SF40.
How much bandwidth does the 4 MP stream use?
You set the bit rate anywhere from 128 Kbps to 6144 Kbps. With Ultra 265 compression and U-code on the main stream, a 4 MP/25 fps feed typically sits far below the H.264 equivalent, so a standard switch uplink carries dozens of cameras and your recorder disks last longer.
How is it powered and how tough is the housing?
Power comes over PoE — one network cable from your PoE switch for both power and video. The dome is IP67 rated against dust and rain and IK10 rated against impact, so it handles outdoor gates, walkways and low-mounted positions where people can reach the camera.
How much NVR disk do I need for IPC324LB-SF28(40)-A cameras?
At the maximum bit rate of 6144 Kbps with continuous recording, one camera needs about 66.4 GB per day, or about 2 TB for 30 days. A more typical 2048 Kbps with Ultra 265 needs about 22.1 GB per day, so 8 cameras for 30 days take about 5.3 TB. Motion-only recording reduces this further.
What happens to recordings if the network or NVR goes down with the IPC324LB-SF28(40)-A?
That period is not recorded. This model has no MicroSD slot and no ANR backup, so all recording happens on the NVR. Put the NVR and the PoE switch on a UPS, and protect outdoor cable runs against surges. If you need local backup at the camera, look at the IPC324LB-ADF28(40)K-H, which has MicroSD up to 512 GB and ANR.
Does the IPC324LB-SF28(40)-A have human detection, or only motion?
Only motion detection is listed. Cars, animals, shadows, rain, insects near the IR and moving branches can all trigger it. Draw the motion area only where people walk, lower the sensitivity, and keep trees and roads out of the zone. If your NVR offers its own human/vehicle filtering on camera streams, that can help; ask us to check your NVR model.
Can the IPC324LB-SF28(40)-A record sound?
No. It has no built-in microphone, no speaker and no audio input, so it cannot record sound or be fitted with an external mic. If you need audio at a counter or entrance, the IPC324LB-ADF28(40)K-H and IPC324LB-ASF28K-A on our site have a built-in mic. Also check local law before recording audio, as many countries restrict it.
How many IPC324LB-SF28(40)-A cameras can one PoE switch run?
Power is rarely the limit: each camera draws at most 5.0 W on 802.3af, so 8 cameras need about 40 W and 16 cameras about 80 W of PoE budget; check that figure on the switch datasheet. The camera port is 10/100 Mbps, so Fast Ethernet PoE ports are enough, but use a gigabit uplink to the NVR: 16 cameras at the 6144 Kbps maximum total about 98 Mbps.
