The Uniview IPC3614LB-SF28(40)-A is a 4MP fixed IR eyeball network camera with Smart IR night vision up to 30 m, single-cable PoE installation, and an IP67 outdoor-rated body 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.
Is this the right camera for you?
Plain-language guide for buyers and installers — based only on what this camera actually does.
Retail ceilings & aislesThe low-profile eyeball body with 3-axis adjustment mounts flush to any ceiling. SF28 covers a wide aisle from one corner.
Reception desks & entryways4MP resolution keeps faces recognizable even when cropped in for later review.
Warehouses & long corridorsIP67 body and −30 to 60 °C rating survive rain, dust and heat. SF40 watches long, narrow corridors.
Small offices & hallwaysUltra 265 compression keeps recordings small — more days of footage on the same NVR disk.
Upgrading from 1080P4MP detail on the same single-cable PoE wiring — no rewiring needed to move up in resolution.
Multi-camera projects needing both wide & narrow viewsOne order code family, two lens choices — SF28 for wide rooms, SF40 for reach, same body and mount.
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 |
| 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 IPC3614LB-SF28(40)-A from its own specifications: 4 MP, fixed 2.8 mm (97.0°) or 4.0 mm (79.0°) lens, Smart IR 30 m, PoE 5.0 W, IP67, records to an NVR.
Who it is for
- Installers on NVR-based projects — One PoE cable per camera at 5.0 W, ONVIF Profile S/T for Uniview or third-party NVRs, and one body with two lens choices, so a whole site can be quoted from one model family.
- Shops, offices and receptions — The SF28 (97.0°) covers a room or sales floor from a corner; 4 MP gives more detail than 1080P on the same cable when upgrading an older system.
- Warehouses, corridors and entrances — The SF40 (79.0°) identifies a face up to 9.0 m instead of 6.3 m, which suits long aisles, gates and doors seen from farther away.
- Sites that want discreet night monitoring — Smart IR at 850 nm lights the scene up to 30 m without visible light, so nothing glows to disturb neighbors or show where the camera points; night video is black and white.
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.
- Place it for faces — Aim at a door, gate or counter that people walk toward, within the identify distance: 6.3 m with the SF28, 9.0 m with the SF40. Beyond that you see people, not who they are.
- Avoid IR reflections — An eave, gutter, wall or ceiling edge close to the lens reflects the IR back and turns the night image white or hazy. Keep the space in front of the camera clear, do not mount it behind window glass, and check the night picture before leaving the site.
- Backlight and corridors — It has digital WDR (DWDR) plus BLC and HLC, not true 120 dB WDR, so do not aim from inside straight out through a bright doorway. Image flip is limited to normal, vertical, horizontal and 180°, with no 90° corridor mode; for long aisles use the SF40 aimed along the aisle.
- 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-WM07P-B plastic bracket or TR-WM03-D-IN-V2; 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. Order them with the cameras so the job is not held up on site.
2.8 mm or 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 a quarter 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 px/m | ≈ 155 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 |
| Observe what is happening up to | 25.2 m | 36.0 m |
| Detect that something is there up to | 63 m | 90 m |
| IR distance | 30 m | 30 m |
- Pick SF28 for a room, shop floor or small yard seen from a corner: from 5 m away it covers 11.3 m of width.
- Pick SF40 for a gate, door or aisle 7–9 m away: a face is still identifiable at 9.0 m.
- The IR reaches 30 m on both, so at night the lens choice, not the light, decides how much detail you get.
Widths are calculated from the horizontal view angle (width = 2 × distance × tan(angle ÷ 2)); pixels per meter = 2560 ÷ width; DORI distances are the manufacturer's figures.

4MP ONVIF Eyeball Camera FAQ — IPC3614LB-SF28(40)-A
Will the IPC3614LB-SF28(40)-A work with my existing third-party NVR?
Yes — it supports ONVIF Profile S and Profile T plus API and SDK integration, so it registers with ONVIF-compatible recorders and VMS platforms. It also speaks RTSP, RTMP, HTTP/HTTPS and more, and the EZStation client and mobile app are available.
Which lens version covers more distance, SF28 or SF40?
SF40 (4.0 mm) reaches further: DORI detection 90 m, recognition 18 m, identification 9 m, with a 79-degree view for driveways and fence lines. SF28 (2.8 mm) trades reach for width — 97 degrees horizontal, detection 63 m, identification 6.3 m.
What video quality and night vision does it offer?
The main stream runs 4 MP at 2560x1440 up to 25 fps, with 1080p at 30 fps available. Smart IR lights 30 m for 0 lux recording in darkness, color mode works to 0.01 lux, and DWDR with HLC/BLC steadies contrasty scenes.
How much bandwidth does it need for remote viewing?
Bit rate is adjustable from 128 kbps to 6144 kbps, and Ultra 265 compression on the main stream keeps 4 MP recording lean. For remote checks over mobile data, pull the sub stream instead of the main one — dual streams run simultaneously.
Is it secure enough to expose on a company network?
It ships with password protection, strong-password enforcement, HTTPS encryption, basic and digest authentication for RTSP, ARP protection, IP address filtering and exportable operation logs. User management supports up to 32 users on two levels.
Can it stay outdoors all year?
Yes — the IP67 body is sealed against dust and water, built for tropical rain and dry-season dust alike. Power arrives over PoE on the same network cable as video, and the mount adjusts pan 0-360, tilt 0-80 and rotate 0-360 degrees.
Can the IPC3614LB-SF28(40)-A record without an NVR?
Not on its own. It has no MicroSD slot and no network storage (NAS) is listed, so plan for an NVR, Uniview or any NVR that adds cameras by ONVIF Profile S/T. Without a recorder you can only watch live, through the web browser, EZStation or the mobile app. If the site needs one camera that records by itself, choose a model with a MicroSD slot, such as the IPC3614LB-AF28K-DL2.
How many days of recording do I get on the NVR with IPC3614LB-SF28(40)-A cameras?
At the maximum bit rate of 6144 Kbps with continuous recording each camera writes about 66.4 GB per day, so 30 days needs about 2 TB of disk per camera. Example: 8 cameras on a 4 TB disk last about 7.5 days at 6144 Kbps, or about 22.6 days at 2048 Kbps (assumed Ultra 265 setting for a mostly static scene). Recording on motion events only stretches this further.
What PoE switch and cable do I need for the IPC3614LB-SF28(40)-A?
Any IEEE 802.3af (or 802.3at) PoE port works: the camera draws at most 5.0 W, so 8 cameras need about 40 W of PoE budget (8 × 5.0 W). Its network port is 10/100 Mbps, so a Fast Ethernet PoE switch is enough for the cameras; use a gigabit uplink to the NVR when you have many cameras. 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.
Why does the IPC3614LB-SF28(40)-A send motion alarms at night with nobody there?
This model's only event is basic motion detection, which reacts to any change in the picture: insects and spider webs lit by the IR, rain drops, moving leaves, headlights. Lower the sensitivity, limit the detection area to the ground and doors you care about, keep the front cover clean and avoid aiming at trees or a busy road. If you need alerts filtered for people or vehicles, ask us for a model or NVR with smart detection before ordering.
IPC3614LB-SF28(40)-A or IPC3614LB-AF28K-DL2: which should I choose?
Both are 4 MP PoE eyeball/turret cameras with 30 m night range. This SF-A has IR only (black-and-white at night), no mic, no MicroSD slot and only basic motion detection, but offers a 4.0 mm lens for longer reach. The IPC3614LB-AF28K-DL2 adds warm light for color night video, a built-in mic, a MicroSD slot up to 512 GB and ultra motion detection, with a 2.8 mm lens only. Choose the SF-A for NVR projects where IR is enough; choose the DL2 for color at night, audio or recording in the camera.
