The Uniview IPC3612LB-AF28K-WL is a 2MP fixed eyeball ColorHunter network camera with a single fixed 2.8 mm lens. Instead of infrared, it uses a warm white light up to 30 m to deliver full-color video around the clock — this model has no infrared illuminator and no black-and-white night vision mode. It powers over a single PoE cable, stores footage locally on a MicroSD card up to 512 GB, and carries an IP67 rating for outdoor use from −30 °C to 60 °C.
Is this the right camera for you?
Plain-language guide for buyers and installers — based only on what this camera actually does.
Shops & storefrontsSee customers and staff in full color day and night — warm light keeps faces and clothing colors visible at the counter even after dark. Built-in mic records what is said.
Home gates & entrancesThe warm light turns on automatically at night — visitors and intruders are seen in color, not grainy black-and-white IR footage, and everyone can tell the camera is active.
Warehouse & site perimetersIP67 body and −30 to 60 °C rating survive rain, dust and heat; MicroSD edge storage up to 512 GB records locally without a separate NVR.
Residential compounds24-hour full-color video makes it easier to describe a person's clothing or a vehicle's color to security — something black-and-white IR footage cannot do.
Small offices & receptionUltra 265 compression keeps recordings small — more days of full-color footage on the same storage.
Kiosks & small retail pointsOne PoE cable does power + video — quick to install at a small point without extra wiring for lighting.
Not the right pick if you need…
- Covert/invisible night vision — this camera has no infrared illuminator; its warm light is visible, so it cannot be used for discreet monitoring
- 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

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-WL from its own specifications: 2 MP, fixed 2.8 mm lens (101.1°), warm light only (30 m, no IR), built-in mic, PoE max 7.3 W, MicroSD up to 512 GB.
Who it is for
- Installers and integrators — One PoE cable per camera (max 7.3 W), ONVIF Profile S/G/T for Uniview or third-party NVRs, and Ultra 265 to keep bandwidth low. Note the web interface is English only, so set it up for customers who need another language.
- Shops, kiosks and reception desks — Faces and clothing stay in color after dark under the 30 m warm light, the 101.1° view covers a small shop from a corner, and the built-in mic records what is said (no speaker).
- Homes and residential compounds — Color night video lets you tell security the color of a shirt or a car, and the visible light shows that the gate or parking area is watched.
- Small sites without a recorder — A MicroSD card up to 512 GB records inside the camera, so one or two cameras can run with just a PoE switch or injector and the app.
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.
- Keep the light cone clear — With a 101.1° view, a nearby eave, wall or ceiling edge easily enters the picture and reflects the warm light back as a white glare. Leave clear space in front of the camera, do not mount it behind window glass, and do not point it at a neighbor's windows.
- 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 or the TR-JB07/WM03-G-IN assembly; pole: TR-UP06-IN; 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 shop, entrance or small yard and keep faces within 4.5 m. The warm light reaches 30 m, but beyond about 18 m you only see that something is happening.
| AF28K-WL · 2.8 mm | |

| Horizontal view angle | 101.1° |
| Width covered at 5 m | 12.2 m |
| Width covered at 10 m | 24.3 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 |
| Warm light distance | 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.
- Need the camera to stay dark and discreet at night? This model cannot: pick the IPC3612LB-AF28K-DL, which also has Smart IR.
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 Full-Color Warm Light Camera FAQ — IPC3612LB-AF28K-WL
Does the IPC3612LB-AF28K-WL have infrared night vision?
No — and that is by design. This ColorHunter model has no IR illuminator at all. Night vision comes from a warm white light reaching 30 m, so footage stays in full color 24 hours a day, with no black-and-white covert mode.
Why choose warm light instead of IR for a shop or gate?
Color at night records what IR cannot: skin tone, clothing color, vehicle color — details police and insurers ask for. The visible light also deters intruders and doubles as courtesy lighting. Control is Auto or Manual, with Smart Illumination support.
What image quality does it deliver in low light?
The 1/2.9-inch CMOS sensor with an F1.6 lens works down to 0.005 lux in color with AGC on. Main stream is 1080p at up to 30 fps with DWDR, 2D/3D noise reduction, HLC and BLC to steady the picture under mixed lighting.
How do I power and connect it?
PoE only needs one network cable from your PoE switch for both power and video, which keeps gate and storefront installs simple. Dual streams — 1080p main plus a lighter sub stream — let you record locally and still view smoothly on mobile data.
Does it record sound, and can it handle outdoor weather?
Yes on both. A built-in microphone records G.711 audio at an 8 kHz sampling rate with noise suppression, and audio detection can trigger alarms; note there is no two-way talk. The IP67 housing seals against dust and heavy rain for year-round outdoor duty.
Will the IPC3612LB-AF28K-WL 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; motion events and warm-light control 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-WL?
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 motion events extends it further.
Will the IPC3612LB-AF28K-WL send false alarms from insects, rain or car headlights?
It can, because its detection is plain motion detection (plus audio detection); there is no human body detection on this model, and a visible light next to the lens draws insects at night. Reduce it by drawing the detection area only over the walkway or gate, lowering sensitivity, keeping the camera away from other lamps, and cleaning webs during maintenance. If people-only alerts matter, the IPC3612LB-AF28K-DL lists human body detection, or let a Uniview NVR with smart analysis handle the alarms.
What happens at night if I switch the warm light off on the IPC3612LB-AF28K-WL?
The light control is Auto/Manual, so you can turn it off, but this model has no infrared to fall back on. Its minimum illumination is 0.005 lux in color at F1.6, so it still gives a usable color image where there is street or yard lighting, but in a fully dark spot the picture will be dark. Smart Illumination is supported to avoid overexposing close objects, so in most cases leave the light on Auto and fix glare or neighbor complaints by changing the aim.
What PoE switch and cable do I need for the IPC3612LB-AF28K-WL?
Any IEEE 802.3af (or 802.3at) PoE port works. Plan the budget on the 7.3 W maximum, reached at night with the warm light on: 8 cameras need about 58.4 W, so check the switch's total PoE budget, not just the port count. The network port is 10/100 Mbps, so a Fast Ethernet PoE switch is enough, with a gigabit uplink to the NVR for larger systems. 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.
