The Uniview IPC3612LB-AF28K-DL is a 2MP fixed eyeball network camera from the ColorHunter dual-light line, built around a single fixed 2.8 mm lens (101.1° horizontal field of view). It combines Smart IR and warm-light illumination, both rated up to 30 m and switchable Auto/Manual, so the same camera can watch discreetly in black & white or stay in full color at night. It records locally to a MicroSD card up to 512 GB, is powered by PoE or DC 12V, and carries an IP67 rating for a −30 °C to 60 °C working range.
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 day and night, and the built-in mic records what is said at the counter. 101.1° field of view covers a wide shop floor from a corner.
Home gates & entrancesSwitch to warm light at night and visitors show up in full color — intruders know they are seen. Switch to IR for discreet, unlit monitoring instead.
Warehouse & site perimetersIP67 body and −30 to 60 °C rating survive rain, dust and heat outdoors.
Single-camera sites without an NVRMicroSD edge storage up to 512GB records locally — no separate recorder needed for a small site.
Ceiling-mounted wide-area coverage101.1° horizontal field of view from a single ceiling-mounted eyeball covers a wide room or corridor.
Sites that need both discreet and visible modesAuto/Manual control over IR and warm light lets the same camera be set discreet for one customer and visibly deterring for another, on the same install.
Not the right pick if you need…
- Two-way talk — it has a mic but no speaker
- Wi-Fi — this is a wired RJ45 camera
- Zoom or an alternate lens option — this model has a fixed 2.8 mm lens only
- Alarm in/out wiring for sirens or sensors
- Motorized remote pan/tilt/zoom — adjustment is manual, set once at install (Pan/Tilt/Rotate)

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 | 101.1° |
|---|---|
| 5 m16 ft | 12.2 m39.9 ft |
| 10 m33 ft | 24.3 m79.7 ft |
| 15 m49 ft | 36.5 m120 ft |
| 20 m66 ft | 48.6 m159 ft |
| 30 m98 ft | 72.9 m239 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 IPC3612LB-AF28K-DL from its own specifications: 2 MP, fixed 2.8 mm lens (101.1°), Smart IR 30 m plus warm light 30 m, built-in mic, PoE 4.5 W, MicroSD up to 512 GB.
Who it is for
- Installers doing many small jobs — One PoE cable per camera at only 4.5 W, ONVIF Profile S/G/T for Uniview or third-party NVRs, and Ultra 265 to keep bandwidth and disk use low.
- Shops, counters and small offices — The 101.1° view covers a shop floor from a corner, and the built-in mic records what is said at the counter (listen only, there is no speaker).
- Homes, gates and entrances — Choose per site: warm light (30 m) for full-color night video that shows the area is watched, or Smart IR (30 m, 850 nm) for discreet black-and-white monitoring.
- Single-camera sites without a recorder — A MicroSD card up to 512 GB records in the camera itself, and ANR fills recording gaps back to the NVR after a network drop if an NVR is added later.
Where and how to install
- Height and angle — Mount at about 2.5–3.5 m on a wall or ceiling and use the 3-axis adjustment (tilt 0–80°) to keep the downward angle shallow. Too high and you see the tops of heads instead of faces.
- Faces need to be close — The wide 2.8 mm lens identifies a face only up to 4.5 m and recognizes a known person up to 9 m. Put the camera close to the door or counter that people walk toward, not across a large yard.
- Avoid reflections at night — With a 101.1° view, a nearby eave, wall or ceiling edge easily enters the picture and reflects the IR or warm light back as a white glare. Keep at least the camera body's width of clear space in front and do not mount it behind window glass.
- Backlight at doorways — This model has digital WDR (DWDR) plus BLC and HLC, not true 120 dB WDR. Do not aim from inside straight out through a bright doorway; mount it outside facing in, or at an angle to the opening.
- Weather, cable and surge — The body is IP67 and works from -30 °C to 60 °C, but the RJ45 and 12 V tail must be protected: use the TR-JB03-I-IN junction box (wiring from behind) or a TR-A01-IN cable gland. Surge protection is 4 kV; on poles or long outdoor runs add a surge protector and earthing.
- Brackets — Wall: TR-WM03-D-IN-V2 or the TR-JB07/WM03-G-IN-V2 assembly; pole: TR-UP06-IN; building corner: TR-UC08-C-V2; high indoor ceilings: TR-CM24-IN with a TR-SE24-IN (200 mm) or TR-SE24-A-IN (500 mm) pendant pole.
Fixed 2.8 mm: what you actually see
There is only one lens on this model. It is a wide view: at 10 m it covers about 24.3 m of width, so each meter of the scene gets only about 79 pixels of the 1920-pixel image. Use it for overview of a room, shop or yard, and keep faces within 4.5 m. If you need faces farther away, look at the IPC3612LE-ADF28(40)KC-DL, which is offered with a 4.0 mm lens.
| AF28K · 2.8 mm | |
|---|---|
| Horizontal view angle | 101.1° |
| Width covered at 5 m | 12.2 m |
| Width covered at 10 m | 24.3 m |
| Pixels per meter at 10 m | ≈ 79 px/m |
| Identify a stranger's face up to | 4.5 m |
| Recognize someone you know up to | 9 m |
| Observe what is happening up to | 18 m |
| Detect that something is there up to | 45 m |
| IR / warm light distance | 30 m / 30 m |
- Good fit: a shop floor, office, garage or small yard seen from a corner. From 5 m away it already covers 12.2 m of width.
- For faces at a door or till, mount within about 4.5 m of where people stop or walk in.
- The light reaches 30 m, but beyond about 18 m you only see that something is happening, not who it is.
Widths are calculated from the horizontal view angle (width = 2 × distance × tan(angle ÷ 2)); pixels per meter = 1920 ÷ width; DORI distances are the manufacturer's figures.

2MP Dual Light Camera FAQ — IPC3612LB-AF28K-DL
Can the IPC3612LB-AF28K-DL show color video at night?
Yes. Its warm white light reaches 30 m, keeping faces and clothing colors visible after dark — useful evidence detail that black-and-white IR cannot give. The visible light also tells intruders the area is actively watched.
What if I want discreet surveillance instead of visible light?
Switch to the IR side of the dual light system: Smart IR at 850 nm also covers 30 m but is invisible, so the camera records black-and-white night video without revealing itself. You choose the mode that fits each mounting spot.
Does it detect people rather than every movement?
It runs human body detection alongside standard motion and audio detection, so alerts focus on people entering the scene instead of rain, headlights or stray animals. That cuts nuisance notifications when you monitor from a phone.
How is it powered and can it record without an NVR?
Power is PoE — one network cable from the switch carries electricity and video. For recording, a MicroSD card up to 512 GB stores footage inside the camera, so a kiosk or small shop can run it standalone and add an NVR later.
What area does the 2.8 mm lens cover and at what distance can I recognize someone?
The fixed 2.8 mm lens gives a 101.1-degree horizontal view — wide enough for a shop floor, porch or small yard from one corner. DORI figures: detect at 45 m, observe at 18 m, recognize at 9 m and identify at 4.5 m.
Is it OK outdoors in heavy rain and dust?
Yes — the housing is IP67 rated, sealed against dust and temporary immersion, so tropical downpours and dusty dry seasons are within spec. The built-in microphone still captures audio, and Ultra 265 compression keeps recordings small.
Will the IPC3612LB-AF28K-DL work with a Hikvision, Dahua or other non-Uniview NVR?
Usually yes for video: it supports ONVIF Profile S, G and T plus RTSP, which most third-party NVRs and VMS software use to add cameras. Live view and recording work over ONVIF; human body detection events and switching between IR and warm light are fully handled on Uniview NVRs and the camera's own web page, and may be limited on other brands. Tell us your NVR model and we will confirm before you order.
How many days will a MicroSD card or NVR disk record from the IPC3612LB-AF28K-DL?
At the maximum bit rate of 6144 Kbps with continuous recording it writes about 66.4 GB per day: about 3.9 days on a 256 GB card or 7.7 days on the maximum 512 GB card, and about 2 TB of NVR disk per camera for 30 days. At 2048 Kbps, a common setting for 1080P with H.265 or Ultra 265, the same 512 GB card lasts about 23 days. Recording only on human body detection extends it further.
What PoE switch and cable do I need for the IPC3612LB-AF28K-DL?
Any IEEE 802.3af (or 802.3at) PoE port works: the camera draws at most 4.5 W, so even an 8-port switch with a small PoE budget runs 8 cameras (8 × 4.5 W = 36 W). Its network port is 10/100 Mbps, so a Fast Ethernet PoE switch is enough; with many cameras use a gigabit uplink to the NVR (16 cameras at the 6144 Kbps maximum add up to about 98 Mbps). Use Cat5e or Cat6 copper cable up to 100 m per run, or a 12 V DC adapter (Ø5.5 mm plug) where there is no PoE.
Can I hear and talk through the IPC3612LB-AF28K-DL?
You can hear, but not talk back. The built-in mic records G.711 audio at 64 Kbps with noise suppression, and audio detection can trigger an event on a loud noise. There is no speaker and two-way audio is N/A, so for talk-back choose a model with a built-in speaker. Audio recording rules differ by country, so check local requirements before enabling it in workplaces.
IPC3612LB-AF28K-DL or IPC3612LB-AF28K-WL: which one should I buy?
Both are 2 MP eyeballs with a fixed 2.8 mm lens. The -DL (this one) has two light sources, Smart IR and warm light, both 30 m and switchable Auto/Manual, so you can choose discreet black-and-white or visible color at night. The -WL has warm light only (no IR, so no discreet mode), and its page lists motion and audio detection but not the human body detection this -DL has. Pick the -DL if you are not sure what the end customer wants, or if one site needs both modes; check the -WL page for its own figures.
