It records up to 3840×2160 at 15 fps with Smart IR night vision to 30 m, and stores footage locally on a MicroSD card up to 512 GB or over the network. The camera is powered by PoE or 12V DC, carries an IP67 outdoor rating, and works 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 & storefronts8MP catches fine detail — price tags, product labels, faces at the register. 3-axis adjustment aims the lens without moving the ceiling mount.
Home gates & entrancesSmart IR sees clearly at night up to 30m without lighting up the scene — a discreet way to watch a gate or doorway after dark.
Warehouses & indoor/outdoor thresholds120dB WDR keeps both a bright doorway and a dark interior visible in the same frame; IP67 and −30 to 60 °C rating handle outdoor mounting.
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 coverage107° horizontal field of view from a single ceiling-mounted eyeball covers a wide room or corridor.
Sites needing audio alongside videoBuilt-in mic records audio with the footage (listen-only — there is no speaker for two-way talk).
Not the right pick if you need…
- Full-color night vision — this is IR-only, night video is black & white, not color
- 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 | 107.0° |
|---|---|
| 5 m16 ft | 13.5 m44.3 ft |
| 10 m33 ft | 27.0 m88.7 ft |
| 15 m49 ft | 40.5 m133 ft |
| 20 m66 ft | 54.1 m177 ft |
| 30 m98 ft | 81.1 m266 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 IPC3618LB-ADF28K-G from its own specifications: 8 MP (3840 × 2160 at 15 fps), fixed 2.8 mm lens (107.0°), 120 dB WDR, Smart IR 30 m, built-in mic, PoE 4.0 W, MicroSD up to 512 GB.
Who it is for
- Shops, counters and stock rooms — 8 MP over a 107.0° view puts about 142 pixels on every meter at 10 m, so you can zoom into recorded video to read a label or see a hand at the till; the built-in mic records counter audio (listen only).
- Small sites without an NVR — A MicroSD card up to 512 GB records inside the camera, and the EZStation client or the app gives live view and playback, so one or two cameras can run without a recorder.
- Homes, gates and compounds — Cross-line and intrusion detection are based on human body detection, so alerts come from people rather than pets or branches; Smart IR covers up to 30 m without visible light.
- Installers who want one wide camera per room — From a corner, the 107.0° view covers 13.5 m of width at 5 m; ONVIF Profile S/G/T lets it join Uniview or third-party NVRs at 4.0 W per PoE port.
Where and how to install
- Height and angle — Mount at about 2.5–3.5 m on a wall or ceiling; the 3-axis bracket tilts 0–75°. Keep the downward angle shallow so the frame shows faces, not the tops of heads.
- Faces need a close choke point — Even with 8 MP, the manufacturer rates face identification at 6.3 m and recognition at 12.6 m with this 2.8 mm lens. Aim it at a door or counter within that distance; use it for the wide overview beyond.
- Avoid IR reflections — At 107.0° the picture easily includes an eave, gutter or nearby wall, which bounces the IR back and makes the night image white or hazy. Keep the frame edges clear, never mount it behind glass, and check the night picture before leaving.
- Backlight at doors and windows — 120 dB WDR keeps a bright doorway and a dark interior visible together, but do not aim straight at the sun or at headlights through a gate; turn the camera slightly off the light source.
- Weather, cable and surge — The body is IP67 and works from -30 °C to 60 °C, but protect the RJ45 and 12 V tail in the TR-JB03-I-IN junction box (wiring from behind) or with 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, TR-WM07P-B or the TR-JB07/WM03-G-IN-V2 assembly; 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.
The 2.8 mm lens: what you actually see
This model has one fixed 2.8 mm lens. Its strength is width with detail: 13.5 m of scene at 5 m and about 142 pixels per meter at 10 m, enough to zoom into a recording. For a longer view, the IPC3618LE-ADF28(40)K-H is the 8 MP eyeball offered with a 4.0 mm option.
| ADF28K · 2.8 mm | |
|---|---|
| Horizontal view angle | 107.0° |
| Width covered at 5 m | 13.5 m |
| Width covered at 10 m | 27.0 m |
| Pixels per meter at 10 m (8 MP) | ≈ 142 px/m |
| Identify a stranger's face up to | 6.3 m |
| Recognize someone you know up to | 12.6 m |
| Observe what is happening up to | 25.2 m |
| Detect that something is there up to | 63 m |
| IR distance | 30 m |
- Use it from a corner of a shop, office or yard: at 5 m it covers 13.5 m of width.
- For faces, keep the entrance within 6.3 m of the camera.
- For a gate or driveway farther away, choose a model with a 4.0 mm lens such as the IPC3618LE-ADF28(40)K-H.
Widths are calculated from the horizontal view angle (width = 2 × distance × tan(angle ÷ 2)); pixels per meter = 3840 ÷ width; DORI distances are the manufacturer's figures.

8MP PoE Security Camera FAQ — IPC3618LB-ADF28K-G
What resolution and frame rate does it record?
The main stream delivers 8 MP (3840×2160) at 15 fps. If you need smoother motion, drop to 5 MP (2880×1620) or 4 MP (2560×1440) at 25/20 fps. Bit rate is adjustable from 128 Kbps up to 16 Mbps, with dual streams for recording plus remote view.
How far does the night vision reach?
Smart IR at 850 nm reaches 30 m (98.4 ft.), invisible to the eye. With the 2.8 mm lens, DORI gives detection at 63 m, observation at 25.2 m, recognition at 12.6 m and identification at 6.3 m. Color works down to 0.01 lux before IR takes over.
Can it record without an NVR?
Yes — it takes a MicroSD card up to 512 GB for on-camera recording. With Ultra 265 compression and the bit rate tuned toward the low end of the 128 Kbps–16 Mbps range, a large card holds days of footage, useful for kiosks and standalone gates.
How do I power it on site?
Through PoE: the same network cable that carries video also delivers power from your PoE switch, so a single Cat5e/Cat6 run per camera is all the infrastructure you pull. The IP67 body is built for outdoor mounting on walls, eaves and poles.
How wide is the 2.8 mm fixed lens view?
The fixed 2.8 mm lens covers 107.0° horizontally and 59.7° vertically. One camera can take in a whole small forecourt, shop interior or compound entrance, and the 8 MP sensor keeps enough pixel density to zoom into recordings afterwards for detail.
Does it have audio and people detection?
A built-in microphone records G.711U/G.711A audio at 64 Kbps (no talk-back on this model). For analytics, cross line and intrusion detection run on human body detection, alongside motion detection and tampering alarm — so fence-line rules trigger on people, not shadows.
Will the IPC3618LB-ADF28K-G work with a Hikvision, Dahua or other non-Uniview NVR?
Usually yes for video: it supports ONVIF Profile S, G and T plus RTSP. Check two things on the NVR: that it accepts 8 MP (3840 × 2160) cameras with H.265, and that its incoming bandwidth covers your cameras at up to 16 Mbps each. The human-body-based cross-line and intrusion events are fully supported on Uniview NVRs and may be limited on other brands; Ultra 265 is a Uniview format, so set H.265 or H.264 for third-party recorders. Tell us your NVR model and we will confirm before you order.
How many days will a 512 GB MicroSD card or an NVR disk hold from the IPC3618LB-ADF28K-G?
At the maximum bit rate of 16 Mbps with continuous recording it writes about 172.8 GB per day, so a 512 GB card holds only about 3 days and 30 days on an NVR needs about 5.2 TB per camera. At 6144 Kbps (an assumed setting with Ultra 265 for a mostly static indoor scene) it is about 66.4 GB per day: about 7.7 days on 512 GB, or about 2 TB for 30 days. Recording only on cross-line or intrusion events stretches this much further.
What switch and uplink do I need for several IPC3618LB-ADF28K-G cameras?
Power is easy: the camera draws at most 4.0 W on IEEE 802.3af, so 8 cameras need about 32 W and 16 cameras about 64 W of PoE budget. Bandwidth is the point to check: the camera port is 10/100 Mbps, but at the 16 Mbps maximum 8 cameras already send about 128 Mbps, more than a 100 Mbps uplink can carry. Use a PoE switch with a gigabit uplink to the NVR, and keep each Cat5e/Cat6 copper run within 100 m.
IPC3618LB-ADF28K-G or IPC3615LE-ADF28(40)K-H: more pixels or better low light?
Both use a 1/2.7" sensor with an F1.6 lens, 120 dB WDR, 30 m IR, built-in mic and MicroSD up to 512 GB, and the manufacturer gives both 2.8 mm versions the same 6.3 m identify distance. This 8 MP model puts more pixels on the scene (3840 vs 2880 across) but runs 15 fps at full resolution and is rated 0.01 Lux in color, while the 5 MP IPC3615LE is rated 0.003 Lux and runs 25 fps. Choose this one for detail in well-lit shops and offices; choose the IPC3615LE for dim outdoor areas, faster movement or when you also want a 4.0 mm lens.
The IPC3618LB-ADF28K-G has no reset button: what if the password is lost?
The datasheet lists the reset button as N/A, so you cannot clear the camera by pressing a button on site. Set a strong admin password when you activate it, write it on the handover sheet together with the IP address, and let the NVR or EZStation manage the camera so the end user rarely needs the camera password. If it is lost anyway, contact us with the device serial number before taking the camera down.
