The IPC68188EFW-X25-F40G-VH is a dual-lens Panorama+PTZ network camera that pairs a fixed 8MP panorama channel (1/1.8" CMOS, 4 mm lens) with an 8MP 25× optical-zoom PTZ detail channel (1/1.2" CMOS, 10-250 mm, P-iris) in one housing under a single IP with triple-stream output. Metadata analyse captures human body, face, motor and non-motor vehicle attributes, smart intrusion prevention filters false alarms by target classification, and multi-zone people counting reports flow and crowd density on the detail channel. Gyroscopic stabilization and heat-haze reduction keep the long zoom steady, IR reaches 250 m on the detail channel (plus 30 m warm light on the panorama channel), and the IP66/IK10 housing runs on AC/DC 24 V across -40 °C to 70 °C.
Is this the right camera for you?
Plain-language guide for buyers and installers — based only on what this camera actually does.
Overview + zoom in one shotThe fixed 8MP panorama channel keeps the whole scene in view while the 8MP 25× optical-zoom detail channel closes in on a target — parking lots, yards and wide approaches covered by one pole.
Perimeter with target classificationCross line, intrusion, enter-area and leave-area detection run with false-alarm filtering by classification (human, motor vehicle, non-motor vehicle) — fewer nuisance alerts at fence lines and gates.
Crowd flow & density monitoringThe detail channel's multi-zone people counting reports flow and crowd density — useful at entrances, plazas and transit points where the panorama channel alone can't quantify how busy a scene is.
Low-light, full-color at nightLightHunter sensors hold color down to 0.0005 lux; once it's truly dark, 250 m IR on the detail channel and 30 m warm light on the panorama channel take over — the warm light also keeps evidence shots in full color.
Harsh outdoor mounting pointsIP66 sealing, IK10 vandal resistance, -40 °C to 70 °C operation and 6 kV surge protection are built for poles that see storms, dust and freezing winters without a service visit.
Attribute capture for investigationsMetadata analyse captures human body, face, motor and non-motor vehicle attributes with best-snapshot selection, plus two-way audio and an audio-visual alarm (strobe + voice) for on-site deterrence.
Not the right pick if you need…
- No PoE on this class of machine — it needs a dedicated AC 24 V or DC 24 V supply (±25%, max. 63 W). Plan power cabling and a suitable outdoor PSU at the pole before ordering.
- 10.08 kg and Φ270×497 mm: this is a heavy-duty dome unit that needs the matching pole/ceiling/wall/pendant brackets listed below and a rigid pole — not a light camera arm.
- No built-in mic or speaker — the audio I/O ports connect external devices. If you need out-of-the-box two-way audio, plan for an external mic/speaker or choose a different model.
- The panorama channel is a fixed 4 mm lens with no optical zoom, and the datasheet does not list a panoramic field-of-view or stitching angle — don't assume 360° coverage from this channel alone.

Who uses it, where it goes and how to install it
Written for the IPC68188EFW-X25-F40G-VH from its own datasheet: two 8 MP channels on one IP (fixed 4 mm panorama + 10–250 mm 25x PTZ detail), 250 m IR plus 30 m warm light, gigabit RJ45 + SFP, IP66/IK10, AC/DC 24 V only (max. 63 W).
Who it is for
- Sites where the overview must never be lost — With a single PTZ, the scene is unwatched while the operator zooms in. Here the fixed 4 mm panorama channel keeps recording the whole area while the 25x detail channel (10–250 mm) zooms onto a gate, plate or person.
- Campuses, ports and industrial parks on fibre — Besides the gigabit RJ45 port it has a 100/1000 M SFP slot, so a pole far from the control room can connect directly by fibre instead of needing a switch at the pole.
- Investigations and access control — Metadata analyse captures human body, face, motor vehicle and non-motor vehicle images with attributes, with best-snapshot selection and blocklist/allowlist comparison, so footage can be searched by target instead of scrolled through.
- Integrators wiring alarms and gates — Alarm I/O 7/2 is much more than most PTZs offer: up to seven detectors, beams or door contacts in, and two outputs for a siren, strobe or barrier, plus an RS485 port and audio I/O 1/1.
Where and how to install
- Height and aim — Mount high, typically 5–8 m on a pole or roof corner. The fixed 4 mm panorama cannot be re-aimed once installed, so point the dome so the panorama covers the main area of interest, and use the PTZ (360° pan, -15° to 90° tilt) for everything else.
- Brackets for a 10.08 kg dome — Pole: TR-UP08-A-IN or aluminium TR-UP08-B-IN on a thick, well-anchored pole. Corner: TR-UC08-A-IN or TR-UC08-B-IN. Wall: TR-WE45-A-IN (long arm) or TR-WE45-B-IN (gooseneck); the short TR-WE45-IN is not in this model's accessory list. Ceiling: TR-CE45-IN, TR-UF45-A-IN, TR-SE45-IN (200), TR-SE45-A-IN (500). At 250 mm any sway shows as shaking; the gyroscope stabilization helps but does not replace a rigid mount.
- Power: 24 V only, no PoE — It runs on AC 24 V or DC 24 V (±25%) only, up to 63 W, about 2.6 A at 24 V. Put the 24 V supply in a weatherproof box near the pole so the low-voltage run is short, and connect the cold-pressed power wires, network and alarm wiring inside the TR-JB12-IN junction box.
- Network: copper or fibre — Use the gigabit RJ45 port with Cat5e/Cat6 for runs up to 100 m. For longer runs, fit a 100 M or 1000 M SFP module in the SFP slot that matches the module at the other end (same wavelength, fibre type and connector).
- Lightning, weather and lights — IP66, IK10 (except the front window) and 6 kV surge protection; on tall metal poles add surge protectors on power and copper network lines and earth the pole (fibre needs none). Keep eaves and walls out of the 250 m IR and 30 m warm-light path to avoid glare, and keep the front window clean.
Panorama channel vs detail channel
The two channels are two different cameras in one housing. The panorama channel is a fixed 4 mm lens with its own warm light for color at night; the detail channel has a larger 1/1.2" sensor, 25x optical zoom, P-iris and 250 m IR, and is the one that does presets, patrols and people counting. Both run smart intrusion prevention and metadata analyse.

- Aim the dome so the fixed panorama covers the area you must always see, such as the main yard or entrance; it cannot be turned later.
- Use detail-channel presets for distant gates, roads and fence corners; at night keep them within the 250 m IR range.
- For color evidence at night near the pole, rely on the panorama's 30 m warm light or existing site lighting.
All values are from the datasheet. The datasheet gives no field-of-view angles or DORI distances for either channel, so widths at 10/50/100 m cannot be calculated; ask us if you need a coverage check for your site.

Dual-Lens Panorama + PTZ Camera FAQ — IPC68188EFW-X25-F40G-VH
How do the two lenses of the IPC68188EFW work together?
The panorama channel uses a fixed 4 mm lens on an 8MP 1/1.8-inch sensor to hold the whole scene, while the detail channel pairs an 8MP 1/1.2-inch sensor with a 10–250 mm, 25x optical zoom and P-iris to pull close-ups. One mount point replaces two separate cameras.
What is the night vision setup on each channel?
The detail channel carries IR reaching 250 m (820 ft) with Smart IR, while the panorama channel uses a 30 m warm light so the near field stays in color. Both sensors reach 0.0005 lux (F1.6, AGC on) and 0 lux with the illuminators, with 120 dB WDR.
Can it capture vehicle and person attributes for search?
Yes. Metadata analysis captures human body, human face, motor vehicle and non-motor vehicle images with attribute collection. Smart intrusion prevention adds cross-line, intrusion and enter/leave-area detection with false alarm filtering, and the detail channel supports people flow counting and crowd density monitoring.
What resolution and bandwidth should I plan for?
Both channels record up to 8MP (3840x2160) at 30 fps on the main stream, with 1080p/720p sub and D1 third streams. Bit rate is adjustable from 128 Kbps to 16 Mbps, and Ultra 265 with U-code keeps 4K storage and bandwidth manageable.
Does it store video locally, and is the housing outdoor-rated?
Edge storage takes a MicroSD card up to 512 GB with ANR refill after network drops, plus NAS (NFS). Per the product data the housing is IP66 and IK10 rated and works from -40 to 70 °C; the detail channel adds optical defog and heatwave reduction for long-range clarity.
Can the IPC68188EFW-X25-F40G-VH be powered by PoE?
No. The datasheet lists only DC 24 V or AC 24 V (±25%), with a maximum of 63 W, about 2.6 A at 24 V. Plan a 24 V supply rated above 63 W at the pole, in a weatherproof box, and check that the voltage at the camera stays within the tolerance (about 18–30 V) with IR and lights on. The network cable or fibre then carries data only.
Can I connect the IPC68188EFW-X25-F40G-VH directly by fibre?
Yes. Besides the 10/100/1000 M RJ45 port it has one 100 M/1000 M SFP slot. Fit an SFP module that matches the one in your switch (same speed, wavelength, single-mode or multi-mode fibre and connector); the reachable distance depends on that module, not on the camera. The SFP module is not listed as included, so order it with the camera if you need it.
How many NVR channels does the IPC68188EFW-X25-F40G-VH use, and does it work with third-party NVRs?
Plan two channels: it has one IP address but two video channels, and on Uniview NVRs it is added as two devices with the same IP, one per lens. For third-party recorders, the panorama channel lists ONVIF Profile S, G, T and M and the detail channel Profile S, G and T, so live view, recording and PTZ control usually work; metadata, people-counting and intrusion events may not. Also check the recorder accepts 8 MP streams on both channels. Tell us your NVR model and we will confirm before you order.
What can I connect to the 7 alarm inputs and 2 outputs of the IPC68188EFW-X25-F40G-VH?
Inputs take dry-contact devices such as PIR detectors, IR beams, door or gate contacts and panic buttons, so an event at a fence section can trigger an alarm in the camera and its recording. The 2 outputs can drive a siren, strobe or barrier relay; check the load of the device and use an external relay for anything powered by mains. The audio I/O 1/1 adds an external pickup and an amplified speaker, since there is no built-in mic or speaker.
IPC68188EFW-X25-F40G-VH or the single-lens IPC6658SR-X25-VF: which should I choose?
Both are 8 MP 25x PTZ domes. The IPC68188EFW-X25-F40G-VH adds a fixed panorama channel with 30 m warm light, a longer 10–250 mm zoom on a larger 1/1.2" sensor, 250 m IR, gyroscope stabilization, metadata analyse, IK10, alarm I/O 7/2 and gigabit RJ45 + SFP, but needs 24 V (max. 63 W) and weighs 10.08 kg. The IPC6658SR-X25-VF (6–150 mm, 200 m IR, 10/100 M port, IP66, 5.61 kg) can also run on high-power PoE and is simpler to install. Choose the dual-lens when the overview must keep recording while you zoom.
