The Uniview IPC325LB-SF28(40)-A is a 5MP fixed IR dome network camera with a metal and plastic IK10 vandal-resistant body and an IP67 outdoor rating for -30 °C to 60 °C environments. Smart IR reaches up to 30 m for night vision, and video is compressed with Ultra 265, H.265, H.264 or MJPEG to reduce bandwidth and storage. It is offered with two fixed lenses: 2.8 mm (SF28, wider view) or 4.0 mm (SF40, longer reach), and powers over a single PoE cable or DC 12 V.
Is this the right camera for you?
Plain-language guide for buyers and installers — based only on what this camera actually does.
Lobbies & reception areasThe low-profile dome blends into ceilings while covering the room from corner to corner.
Parking garages & stairwellsIK10 vandal-resistant housing survives impacts, kicks and tampering attempts in high-traffic public areas.
Building perimeters & loading docksIP67 body and −30 to 60 °C rating handle rain, dust and heat outdoors; Smart IR sees 30 m into the dark.
Warehouses & corridors2-axis adjustment lets you aim the lens after ceiling mounting, without taking the dome back down.
ATMs & cash pointsTampering alarm flags anyone messing with the housing, on top of motion detection.
Small offices & receptionUltra 265 compression keeps recordings small — more days of footage on the same NVR disk.
Not the right pick if you need…
- Any audio — no mic, no speaker, no audio input/output 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
- Warm-light or color night vision — this model is Smart IR only, with no visible-light illuminator

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 |
| 10 m33 ft | 22.6 m74.2 ft | 16.5 m54.1 ft |

| 30 m98 ft | 67.8 m222 ft | 49.5 m162 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 IPC325LB-SF28(40)-A from its own specifications: 5 MP 1/3.0" sensor, 2.8 mm or 4.0 mm fixed lens, 30 m Smart IR, IK10 and IP67 dome, PoE (802.3af).
Who it is for
- Installers on NVR-based multi-camera jobs — Max. 5.0 W on any 802.3af PoE port, ONVIF Profile S/T and Ultra 265 to save NVR disk. There is no microSD slot and no audio, so it fits jobs where an NVR records everything anyway.
- Stairwells, car parks and public corridors — The IK10 metal-and-plastic dome resists kicks and thrown objects, and the tampering alarm reports when someone covers or knocks the camera.
- Lobbies, shops and offices — The 2.8 mm version (97.0°) covers about 11.3 m of width from 5 m away, so one ceiling dome in a corner sees most of a reception area or small shop.
- Building perimeters and loading docks — IP67 and −30 °C to 60 °C for outdoor walls and soffits; the 4.0 mm version identifies a face up to 9.0 m and the 850 nm IR reaches 30 m in the dark.
Where and how to install
- Height and angle — Mount at about 2.5–3.5 m and keep the downward tilt shallow. Lower is easier to tamper with; much higher shows the top of heads instead of faces.
- Ceiling first, wall with a bracket — The dome is made for a flat ceiling or soffit. On a wall use TR-WM03-D-IN-V2 or TR-JB07/WM03-G-IN-V2, on an outside corner TR-UC08-C-V2, on a sloped surface TR-UM06-E-IN, and in a suspended ceiling TR-FM116. TR-SE24-IN (200 mm) or TR-SE24-A-IN (500 mm) hangs it below a high ceiling.
- Keep the bubble clean for night IR — The IR LEDs shine through the same clear cover as the lens. Fingerprints, dust or a scratch on the bubble glow white at night, so handle it by the edge, leave the protective film on until the end and wipe it at handover.
- Nothing bright close to the dome — A wall, beam or gutter inside the picture within a meter or so reflects the 30 m IR straight back and washes out the night image. Tilt the lens away from nearby surfaces and do not aim it at a lamp or the setting sun: this model has DWDR (digital), not true WDR.
- Cable entry, weather and surge — The body is IP67, but the RJ45 and 12 V tail are not: run them into TR-JB03-G-IN (rear wiring) or through a TR-A01-IN 3/4" cable gland. HS-205S shades it from direct sun and rain. Surge protection is 4 kV; add a surge protector on long outdoor runs.
2.8 mm or 4.0 mm: what you actually see
Same 5 MP sensor (2592 × 1944), different lens. The 4.0 mm identifies a face about 1.4× farther (9.0 m vs 6.3 m) but covers about a quarter less width. At 10 m it puts about 157 pixels on every meter of the scene versus about 115 for the 2.8 mm.
| 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 | ~115 px/m | ~157 px/m |
| 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 2.8 mm for a room, lobby or shop seen from a ceiling corner: from 5 m away it covers 11.3 m of width.
- Pick 4.0 mm for a corridor, entrance or driveway where people are 7–9 m away: a face is still identifiable at 9.0 m.
Widths are calculated from the horizontal view angle (width = 2 × distance × tan(angle ÷ 2)); pixels per meter = 2592 ÷ width at 10 m; face distances are the manufacturer's DORI figures.

5MP PoE Dome Camera FAQ — IPC325LB-SF28(40)-A
Is 5 MP noticeably better than 1080p for identifying people?
Yes — the main stream records 2592×1944, about 2.4 times the pixels of 1080p, so digital zoom into a recording keeps more facial and clothing detail. DORI figures: with the 2.8 mm lens you detect a person at 63 m and identify at 6.3 m; the 4.0 mm reaches 90 m and 9 m.
The 5 MP mode runs at 20 fps — is that enough for surveillance?
For entrances, shops and perimeters, 20 fps is fluid enough to capture walking and running subjects clearly; broadcast-style 30 fps mainly matters for fast vehicles. If you prefer higher frame rate over resolution, set the main stream to 1080p at 30 fps instead.
Does it work with non-Uniview recorders?
Yes. ONVIF Profile S and Profile T support plus API and SDK let it register on most third-party NVRs and VMS software. The protocol stack includes RTSP, RTMP, HTTPS, SMTP, QoS, SSL/TLS and SNMP, and up to 32 user accounts with two permission levels manage access.
How does it see at night and in the rain?
Smart IR at 850 nm covers up to 30 m in the dark with automatic ICR switching to black and white; color mode works down to 0.01 Lux. The IP67 housing shrugs off heavy rain and dust, and digital defog plus 2D/3D noise reduction keep wet-season images usable.
What does a distributor get in terms of install flexibility?
One SKU covers many jobs: PoE power over a single cable, two lens options (2.8 mm wide or 4.0 mm reach), IK10 vandal resistance for low mounting, IP67 for outdoors, and Ultra 265 compression with a 128–6144 Kbps bit rate window to fit tight bandwidth budgets.
The IPC325LB-SF28(40)-A has no microSD slot. How much NVR storage do I need?
Plan on the NVR disk only. At the maximum bit rate of 6144 Kbps with 24 h continuous recording one camera writes about 66.4 GB per day, so 30 days need about 2.0 TB per camera; at 2048 Kbps it is about 22.1 GB per day, or about 0.66 TB for 30 days. For 8 cameras at 2048 Kbps that is about 5.3 TB for 30 days. Ultra 265 and motion-only recording cut this further.
What PoE switch and cable do I need for the IPC325LB-SF28(40)-A?
Any IEEE 802.3af port is enough: the camera draws at most 5.0 W, well under the 15.4 W an af port supplies. Its network port is 10/100 Mbps, so a Fast Ethernet PoE switch works; 8 cameras at the 6144 Kbps maximum add up to about 49 Mbps, but use a gigabit uplink to the NVR on larger jobs. Use Cat5e or Cat6 copper up to 100 m per run, or a DC 12 V adapter (Ø5.5 mm plug) where there is no PoE.
Does the IPC325LB-SF28(40)-A have human or vehicle detection to cut false alarms?
No. Its events are plain motion detection and tampering alarm only, so rain, moving shadows, headlights and insects drawn to the IR can trigger it. Set motion areas tightly, lower the sensitivity outdoors and use it mainly for recording rather than push alerts. If you need cross-line or intrusion alarms based on human body detection, the IPC325LE-ADF28(40)K-H dome lists them.
What is the difference between the IPC325LB-SF28(40)-A and the IPC325LE-ADF28(40)K-H?
Both are 5 MP IK10/IP67 domes with 30 m Smart IR and the same DORI distances. The IPC325LB is the basic version: 1/3.0" sensor at 2592 × 1944 and 20 fps, F2.1, DWDR, no audio, no microSD, motion and tampering only, English web interface. The IPC325LE adds a 1/2.7" sensor (2880 × 1620 at 25 fps), F1.6 and 0.003 lux, 120 dB true WDR, a built-in mic, microSD up to 512 GB and human-based cross-line and intrusion alarms. Choose the LB when an NVR records everything and the scene has no strong backlight.
Why is the night image of my IPC325LB-SF28(40)-A hazy or white, and how do I fix it?
On an IR dome this is almost always reflection, not a faulty camera. Check three things: the clear bubble is clean and unscratched (wipe with a soft cloth, never solvent), the cover is fully seated so the inner light seal sits against it, and there is no wall, eave or ceiling surface close to the lens inside the picture. Re-aim to show less nearby surface; Smart IR already lowers IR power on close objects.
