The Uniview IPC568EB-DGK-I0 is an 8 MP (4K Ultra-HD) LightHunter WDR network box camera built around a C/CS lens mount instead of a built-in lens — it ships as a bare camera body, and you choose and purchase a compatible C-mount or CS-mount lens separately to match the focal length and field of view your project needs. Auto back focus (ABF) and support for high-precision motorized lenses make it straightforward to fine-tune sharpness once your chosen lens is attached, while up to 120 dB optical WDR and LightHunter low-light performance keep footage usable in difficult lighting. Power is flexible (PoE, DC 12 V or AC 24 V) and the camera adds triple video streams, smart intrusion detection and people counting — note that the bare body itself carries no weatherproof rating, so outdoor installations need one of the separate outdoor housings listed under Accessories.
Is this the right camera for you?
Plain-language guide for buyers and installers — based only on what this camera actually does.
Bank & ATM lobbiesPair it with a precise telephoto lens for reliable face capture at the counter — a fixed-lens camera can't be tuned this specifically for one spot.
Retail entrances & queuesBuilt-in people counting and crowd density monitoring track footfall and queue buildup without a separate sensor.
Perimeter & tripwire linesSmart intrusion prevention (cross line, intrusion, enter/leave area) filters out false alarms by classifying human, vehicle and non-motor traffic.
Parking & vehicle lanesTraffic monitoring captures a license plate image as a car crosses a tripwire, across up to 4 lanes in high- or low-pole mounting.
Integrator & OEM projectsA bare C/CS-mount body is easy to build into a third-party housing, existing enclosure, or a custom-branded product.
Low-light critical areasLightHunter sensor performance plus up to 120 dB optical WDR keep detail visible in dim rooms and high-contrast doorways alike.
Not the right pick if you need…
- Ready to install out of the box — you must buy, attach and focus a compatible C/CS lens before it can capture any image
- Outdoor weatherproofing built into the body — the bare camera has no IP rating; outdoor sites need one of the separate outdoor housings
- Built-in microphone or speaker — audio in/out are terminal connections for external mic/speaker, nothing is built into the body
- Wi-Fi — this is a wired camera (RJ45 + SFP fiber option), no wireless connectivity
- A compact, discreet form factor — the box body plus lens plus housing is bulkier than a bullet or dome camera

Lens Mount & Focus Control
What's built into the body — the lens itself is chosen and purchased separately.
LENS MOUNT
C/CS mount with auto back focus (ABF)
Fits industry-standard C-mount and CS-mount lenses, sold separately. Attach the focal length and aperture your project needs, then let ABF handle precise back-focus adjustment automatically.
IRIS CONTROL
DC-iris / P-iris lens support
Works with DC-iris and P-iris auto-iris lenses to hold steady exposure as light changes through the day. Pair it with a high-precision motorized lens for remote zoom and focus.
Who uses it, where it goes and how to install it
Written for the IPC568EB-DGK-I0 from its own specifications: 8 MP (3840 × 2160) box body, C/CS lens mount with ABF, 120 dB WDR, RJ45 plus SFP fibre port, PoE / DC 12 V / AC 24 V.
Who it is for
- Banks, ATM lobbies and cash counters — You fit exactly the lens the spot needs, so a face at the counter fills the frame at 8 MP; best-snapshot selection and 120 dB WDR help at bright glass entrances.
- Parking, gates and vehicle lanes — Traffic monitoring captures a plate picture when a car crosses a tripwire, up to 4 lanes, in high-pole or low-pole mode; a telephoto lens and short shutter (down to 1/100000 s) keep plates sharp.
- Retail, malls and transport halls — People flow counting and crowd density monitoring run on the camera, and the 8 MP picture with a wide lens covers a large entrance or concourse from one point.
- Integrators on large or fibre-linked sites — RJ45 plus a 100/1000 M SFP port lets you chain cameras over fibre, RS485, 2 alarm inputs / 1 output and ONVIF Profile S/G/T/M fit existing VMS and access-control projects.
Where and how to install
- Indoors bare, outdoors only in a housing — The body has no IP rating. Outdoors use HS-217S-B-NB, HS-217SHB-B-NB (with sunshade) or HS-217SHB-IR-B-NB (with IR). Measure the camera (152 mm long, excluding the lens) plus your lens length before choosing the housing.
- Focus with the BNC output — The BNC video output is for debugging: plug a small test monitor into it on the ladder to set the lens zoom and iris, then let ABF fine-tune the back focus and check again in the web client.
- Height and aiming — For faces, mount at about 2.5–3.5 m and aim along the walking direction at a door or counter. For plates, choose high-pole or low-pole mode to match the mounting and keep the vertical and horizontal angle to the plate small.
- Power and cabling — Use one 802.3af PoE port (the camera draws max. 8 W) or DC 12 V / AC 24 V on the two-core terminal block. Copper runs stay within 100 m; beyond that use the SFP port with fibre and local power.
- Heat, surge and brackets — Working range is -20 °C to 60 °C, and a closed housing in direct sun runs hotter than the air, so use the sunshade versions in hot climates. Surge protection is 6 kV; on poles add an SPD and earthing. Brackets listed: TR-WM06-I-IN, TR-WM06-C-IN, TR-UP06-IN, TR-UV06-A-IN, TR-UM06-A-IN — confirm the match with your housing.
Choosing the lens: how wide a scene 8 MP can cover
No lens is included, so the view angle depends on the lens you buy. Plan backwards from the detail you need: the picture is 3840 pixels wide, and dividing 3840 by the pixel density for each task gives the widest scene the lens may show at the target distance. Then pick the focal length whose horizontal view covers no more than that width.
| IPC568EB-DGK-I0 · 3840 px wide | |
|---|---|
| Identify a stranger's face (250 px/m): scene width up to | 15.4 m |
| Recognize someone you know (125 px/m): scene width up to | 30.7 m |
| Observe what a person is doing (62 px/m): scene width up to | 61.9 m |
| Detect that someone is there (25 px/m): scene width up to | 153.6 m |
- Bank counter or entrance: choose a focal length that shows no more than about 15.4 m of width where the faces are; a narrower view gives more margin.
- Hall, car park or yard overview: a wide lens is fine while the scene stays under about 61.9 m wide.
- Buy a lens rated for at least a 1/1.8" sensor and 8 MP/4K, with DC-iris or P-iris, and IR-corrected if the scene is lit by IR at night.
Widths are 3840 pixels divided by the pixel density for each task; the densities 250 / 125 / 62 / 25 px/m follow the common IEC 62676-4 DORI guideline. To check a lens, take its horizontal view angle for a 1/1.8" sensor from the lens maker: width = 2 × distance × tan(angle ÷ 2).

4K LightHunter Box Camera FAQ — IPC568EB-DGK-I0
Does it come with a lens?
No — the lens is sold separately. The body takes industry-standard C-mount and CS-mount lenses and supports DC-iris and P-iris auto-iris types, so you pick the exact focal length and aperture your project needs. Auto Back Focus (ABF) then handles precise back-focus electronically.
What power options does it accept?
Three: PoE over the network cable, DC12V, or AC24V. That covers new IP installs from a PoE switch as well as retrofits reusing existing 12 V or 24 V supplies in kiosks, toll booths and industrial cabinets — no rewiring of the whole power path.
Will it integrate with third-party VMS platforms?
Yes — it supports ONVIF Profile S, Profile G, Profile T and Profile M, plus API and SDK. Triple streams serve recorder, wall and mobile at once, and security includes TLS 1.3, HTTPS encryption and digest authentication. Uniview's EZStation, UNV-Link and UNV-Link Pro clients are also supported.
What analytics does it run on board?
Smart Intrusion Prevention with cross line, intrusion, enter and leave area detection with false-alarm filtering; people flow counting and crowd density monitoring; and traffic monitoring that captures a car's license picture at a tripwire across up to 4 lanes. Exception detection adds object removed, object left behind and scene change.
What are the storage options?
Edge storage on a MicroSD card up to 512 GB, plus network storage to NAS over NFS. ANR (automatic network replenishment) refills the recorder with the SD-card footage after a network outage, so a cut cable does not mean a gap in the archive.
How does it perform in low light and strong backlight?
The LightHunter 1/1.8" sensor reaches 0.002 lux in color and 0.0002 lux in black-and-white at F1.2, while optical WDR up to 120 dB tames doorway and window backlight. The 8 MP main stream holds 3840×2160 at a full 30 fps, with optical defog for hazy scenes.
Which lens should I buy for the IPC568EB-DGK-I0?
Any C-mount or CS-mount lens that covers at least a 1/1.8" sensor and is rated for 8 MP/4K; a lens made for smaller sensors gives dark corners, and a low-resolution lens wastes the 8 MP. Choose DC-iris or P-iris for outdoor scenes with changing light, and an IR-corrected lens if you light the scene with IR at night. For remote zoom and focus the camera supports high-precision motorized lenses; tell us the lens model and we will confirm compatibility before you order.
Does the IPC568EB-DGK-I0 have built-in IR, and how do I see at night in total darkness?
No IR illuminator is built into the body. It has an IR-cut filter with auto switch and reaches 0.0002 Lux in black-and-white (F1.2, AGC ON), so it needs some light source: existing site lighting, a separate IR illuminator, or the HS-217SHB-IR-B-NB housing, which is an outdoor housing with integrated IR. With IR light, use an IR-corrected lens so the picture stays in focus after the day/night switch.
Can I connect the IPC568EB-DGK-I0 by fibre and chain several cameras on one line?
Yes. Besides the 10/100/1000 M RJ45 port it has a 100/1000 M SFP port, and the datasheet lists optical-plus-network serial connection to reduce wiring cost, so cameras along a road or fence can be chained instead of each running back to a switch. Fibre carries no power, so each camera on fibre needs local DC 12 V or AC 24 V. An SFP module is not listed as included; tell us the fibre type and distance and we will quote a matching module.
How do I set up license plate capture on the IPC568EB-DGK-I0?
Use the Traffic Monitoring function: draw a tripwire across the lanes (up to 4 lanes) and choose High-pole or Low-pole mode to match the mounting; the camera saves a plate picture when a car crosses the line. Fit a telephoto lens so the plate is large in the frame, and use a short manual shutter so moving plates are not blurred (the shutter goes down to 1/100000 s). At night the plate needs light, so add an IR or white-light illuminator aimed at the lane.
How much NVR disk and network bandwidth does one IPC568EB-DGK-I0 need?
At the maximum bit rate of 16 Mbps with continuous recording it writes about 172.8 GB per day, so 30 days need about 5.2 TB per camera; at an assumed 8 Mbps it is about 86.4 GB per day or 2.6 TB for 30 days. Ultra 265 and event recording reduce this. On the network, 16 cameras at 16 Mbps add up to 256 Mbps, so use gigabit switch uplinks to the NVR.
