The IPC6854ER-X40G-VF is a 4MP 40× optical-zoom PTZ dome camera built on Uniview's LightHunter low-light technology, pairing a 1/1.8" CMOS sensor (2688×1520 @30fps) with a 5.7-228 mm motorized lens that sweeps from a 59.5° wide overview down to a 2.2° telephoto pinpoint. Smart IR reaches 250 m, EIS gyroscopic stabilization keeps the long zoom steady, and a built-in SFP optical port runs alongside the RJ45 port so the unit can be linked over fiber where copper cable runs fall short. Housed to IP66 with a -40°C to 70°C rating, a heater and 6 kV surge protection, it also carries smart intrusion prevention (cross line / area entry-leave with human, non-motor and motor vehicle classification) and people-flow / crowd-density counting.
Is this the right camera for you?
Plain-language guide for buyers and installers — based only on what this camera actually does.
Border lines & remote perimetersSmart intrusion prevention with cross-line and area entry/leave detection, plus human / non-motor / motor-vehicle classification, watches a long straight boundary while the 40× zoom reaches out to 3330.6 m for Detect-level DORI at full telephoto.
Fiber-linked watchtowers & remote polesA built-in SFP optical port runs alongside the standard RJ45 port, so the camera can be linked back to the control room over fiber on remote poles and towers where a copper Ethernet run is impractical.
Dusk-to-dawn low-light monitoringLightHunter processing keeps color detail down to 0.0005 Lux (F1.2, AGC ON), and Smart IR extends visibility to 250 m once it turns fully dark — useful for wide, unlit rural stretches.
Harsh, unmanned outdoor sitesIP66 sealing, a -40°C to 70°C working range, a built-in heater and 6 kV surge protection are built for the pole nobody visits often — desert heat, winter cold or lightning-prone terrain.
High masts & swaying towersEIS gyroscopic image stabilization keeps the 40× telephoto image steady even when the mounting mast sways in the wind, so long-range detail stays usable instead of blurring out.
Long rural roads & checkpointsPeople counting with flow statistics and crowd-density monitoring, plus a 360° endless pan and 0.1°/s to 180°/s speed, cover long visibility stretches from a single mounting point.
Not the right pick if you need…
- No PoE on this unit — it needs a dedicated AC 24 V or DC 24 V supply (max. 61 W). Plan power cabling before ordering.
- No built-in microphone or speaker — the audio I/O is line-level (1 in / 1 out) only, so two-way audio needs your own external mic and speaker equipment.
- No Wi-Fi (N/A in the datasheet) — connect via wired RJ45 or the SFP fiber port only.
- Protection is rated IP66 only in this datasheet — no IK-series impact/vandal rating is listed, so it is not documented as vandal-resistant.

One Lens, Two Extremes: Wide Overview to 40× Telephoto
The 5.7-228 mm motorized lens covers both ends of the job from a single mount.
WIDE END · 5.7 mm
59.5° horizontal field of view for full-scene overview
Detect-level DORI at this end is 107.2 m — a wide, steady overview of the whole area from one pole.
TELE END · 228 mm (40×)
2.2° telephoto pinpoint for long-range identification
Detect-level DORI at full telephoto reaches 3330.6 m (10927.2 ft.) — the reach that makes 40× worth choosing.
How far can it see? (DORI)
DORI is the industry standard for what a camera can do at distance. Values shown are at full 40× telephoto (5.7-228 mm lens, tele end); the wide end (5.7 mm) gives shorter distances — see the lens card above.

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 | 59.5° wide | 2.2° tele |
|---|---|---|
| 5 m16 ft | 5.7 m18.8 ft | 0.2 m0.6 ft |
| 10 m33 ft | 11.4 m37.5 ft | 0.4 m1.3 ft |

| 30 m98 ft | 34.3 m113 ft | 1.2 m3.8 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 IPC6854ER-X40G-VF from its own datasheet: 4 MP (2688×1520), 40x optical zoom (5.7–228 mm), 250 m Smart IR, a 100/1000 Mbps SFP fibre port next to a 10/100 Mbps RJ45 port, AC/DC 24 V power only (max. 61 W), IP66 with a heater for -40 °C to 70 °C.
Who it is for
- Borders, pipelines and remote perimeters — Poles far more than 100 m from the nearest switch: the SFP port connects straight to a fibre network, so no media converter or intermediate switch is needed at the pole.
- Watchtowers and masts with their own power — Power is 24 V AC or DC only (no PoE), which suits towers that already have mains or a local supply; 40x zoom identifies a person up to 333.1 m in daylight.
- Lightning-prone open ground — Glass fibre does not conduct, so a fibre link keeps surges on the pole from travelling down the data cable into the control room; the camera itself has 6 kV surge protection.
- Unlit rural roads and checkpoints — 250 m of 850 nm Smart IR, color down to 0.0005 Lux, and smart intrusion prevention that tells human, non-motor vehicle and vehicle apart.
Where and how to install
- Height and a rigid mount — Mount high, typically 6–10 m, on a thick, well-founded pole. The camera weighs 9.5 kg and the tele view is only 2.2° wide, so use the pole bracket TR-UP08-A-IN or the aluminium TR-UP08-B-IN; the long arm TR-WE45-A-IN and the gooseneck TR-WE45-B-IN are for walls and move more in wind.
- Power: 24 V only, no PoE — Maximum draw is 61 W (about 2.5 A at 24 V) with heater and IR on. Put a 24 V AC or DC supply rated above 61 W in a weatherproof box on the pole and feed it from mains; the camera accepts 24 V ±25%, about 18–30 V at its terminals. Long low-voltage runs from a building lose too much voltage.
- Fibre and junction box — Terminate the outdoor fibre in a small splice or termination box on the pole and use a short patch cord to the SFP module. Make the power wires (cold-pressed terminals), RS485, alarm and audio joints in the TR-JB12-IN dome junction box, and do not bend the fibre tighter than its cable allows.
- Other mounts — Corner: TR-UC08-A-IN or aluminium TR-UC08-B-IN. Ceiling: TR-CE45-IN or TR-UF45-A-IN (indoor), or pendant poles TR-SE45-IN (200) and TR-SE45-A-IN (500).
- Earthing and the IR path — Fibre removes the data cable as a surge path, but the 24 V power line and the pole still need surge protection and a proper earth. Keep the IP66 dome clear of walls, eaves and branches, where the 850 nm IR would reflect and wash out the night image.
Wide or zoomed in: what you actually see
At 5.7 mm the IPC6854ER-X40G-VF shows about 57.2 m of width at 50 m, enough to see a road junction or a stretch of fence. At 228 mm the view narrows to about 3.8 m at 100 m, roughly 700 pixels per metre (2688 ÷ 3.84). The IR covers 250 m, so presets farther out need daylight or lighting.
| Wide · 5.7 mm | Tele · 228 mm | |
|---|---|---|
| Horizontal view angle | 59.5° | 2.2° |
| Width covered at 10 m | 11.4 m | 0.4 m |
| Width covered at 50 m | 57.2 m | 1.9 m |
| Width covered at 100 m | 114.3 m | 3.8 m |
| Identify a stranger's face up to | 10.7 m | 333.1 m |
| Recognize someone you know up to | 21.4 m | 666.1 m |
| See what a person is doing up to | 42.9 m | 1332.2 m |
| Detect that something is there up to | 107.2 m | 3330.6 m |
| IR night distance | 250 m | 250 m |
- Use the wide end as the home position on a junction or gate area: at 50 m it still covers about 57.2 m of width.
- Save tele presets along the fence or road: at 228 mm a person is identifiable up to 333.1 m and detectable up to 3330.6 m in daylight.
- For night patrols, keep presets inside the 250 m IR range.
Widths are calculated from the horizontal view angle (width = 2 × distance × tan(angle ÷ 2)); identify/recognize/observe/detect distances are the manufacturer's DORI figures from the datasheet.

4MP 40x Fiber PTZ Camera FAQ — IPC6854ER-X40G-VF
What does the SFP fiber uplink on the X40G give me?
The SFP slot accepts a fiber module so the camera connects to the network over optical fiber instead of copper — the practical choice when the PTZ sits on a far perimeter pole, a port breakwater or a mine boundary well away from the nearest switch cabinet.
How far can it see, wide and at full zoom?
At the 59.5° wide end DORI Detect is 107.2 m for full-scene overview; at 2.2° full telephoto (40x, 5.7–228 mm) detection reaches 3330.6 m (10,927 ft). Smart IR at 250 m and 0.0005 lux LightHunter sensitivity carry that reach into the night.
Can it patrol checkpoints automatically overnight?
Yes. Route patrol supports 16 patrols with up to 32 actions each, and recorded patrol stores 16 patrols with up to 128 actions, replaying an operator's joystick sweep exactly. Smart intrusion prevention with false alarm filtering and people counting run during the patrols.
How does it handle heat shimmer and pole vibration at 40x?
Heatwave reduction cuts the shimmer that hot ground creates at long telephoto, and EIS steadies the frame against wind and traffic vibration. Optical plus digital defog, HLC, BLC and 120 dB WDR keep distant targets readable through haze and glare.
What storage and climate ratings does it have?
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 rated and operates from -40 to 70 °C. The main stream records 4MP (2688x1520) at up to 30 fps with Ultra 265.
Which SFP module do I need for the IPC6854ER-X40G-VF, and how far can the fibre run?
The datasheet specifies the port as 100 M/1000 M Base-FX SFP; it does not say whether a module is included or which wavelength and distance it supports. The fibre distance is set by the module pair, not by the camera, so choose modules that match each other and the fibre type (single-mode or multi-mode), the connector and the speed of the switch port at the other end. Tell us the distance and your switch model and we will confirm a matching pair before you order.
Can I connect another camera or device to the RJ45 port of the IPC6854ER-X40G-VF and share the fibre?
The datasheet lists 'serial connection of optical and electrical interface', which indicates the RJ45 and SFP ports can be used in series, for example fibre back to the control room and copper on to a nearby device. The RJ45 port is 10/100 Mbps and does not supply PoE, so the second device needs its own power. The datasheet gives no further detail, so tell us what you want to connect and we will confirm the setup before you design around it.
IPC6854ER-X40G-VF or IPC6854ER-X40-VF: when is the fibre version worth it?
The image, zoom, IR and analytics are the same; the X40G adds the SFP port but drops PoE. Pick the X40G when the pole is beyond the 100 m copper limit, when fibre already runs along the fence or road, or where lightning makes a copper data line risky, and when there is local power for the 24 V supply. Pick the X40-VF when the pole is within 100 m of a switch and you want power and data on one PoE++ cable.
Will the IPC6854ER-X40G-VF work with a Hikvision, Dahua or other third-party NVR over fibre?
Yes in the usual way: the fibre is just the network link, and the NVR sees an ordinary IP camera. It supports ONVIF Profile S, G, T and M plus RTSP for live view, recording and PTZ control on most recorders; the NVR must accept 2688×1520, or it can record the 1080P sub stream. Smart intrusion and people-counting events are fully handled on Uniview NVRs and the EZStation, UNV-Link or UNV-Link Pro clients and may be limited on other brands, so tell us your NVR model and we will confirm.
The IPC6854ER-X40G-VF has no mic or speaker. How do I add a voice warning at a remote pole?
Connect an amplified horn speaker to the line-level audio output (impedance 600 Ω, 2.5 V p-p) and, if you want to listen, an external pickup to the input (1 kΩ). Two-way audio uses G.711U/G.711A and travels over the same fibre link as the video. For a siren or strobe, use one of the 2 alarm outputs through a relay, and power the amplifier and siren from the same 24 V box on the pole.
