The IPC6858ER-X40-VF is an 8MP network PTZ dome camera built around a 1/1.8-inch CMOS sensor and a 40x optical zoom lens (5.7 to 228 mm, F1.2 to F4.6), with a 16x digital zoom extending reach further. LightHunter low-light technology delivers 0.003 Lux color imaging (F1.2, AGC on), while Smart IR reaches up to 250 m and works alongside gyroscopic EIS image stabilization and heat-haze reduction to keep long-zoom footage steady and clear. The camera runs smart intrusion prevention (cross line, intrusion, enter/leave area with human / non-motor / motor-vehicle classification and false-alarm filtering) and people counting with crowd-density monitoring, and is housed to IP66 for -40 °C to 70 °C outdoor operation, powered by AC 24 V, DC 24 V or PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt).
Is this the right camera for you?
Plain-language guide for buyers and installers — based only on what this camera actually does.
Perimeter & wide-area patrol360° endless pan and -15° to 90° tilt cover the whole site; 1024 presets and 16 route patrols (up to 32 actions each) keep the 40x lens cycling through fixed checkpoints automatically.
Long-range identification40x optical zoom (5.7-228 mm) plus 16x digital zoom lets an operator push in on a distant subject, while LightHunter's 0.003 Lux color sensitivity keeps detail visible well after dusk.
Mixed traffic & pedestrian zonesSmart intrusion prevention classifies human, non-motor and motor-vehicle targets across cross-line, intrusion and enter/leave-area rules with false-alarm filtering, plus people-flow counting and crowd-density monitoring.
Harsh outdoor mountsGyroscopic EIS stabilization and heat-haze reduction keep the long-zoom image steady on a swaying pole, IP66 sealing plus a -40 °C to 70 °C rating and 6 kV surge protection handle exposed outdoor sites.
Flexible power at the poleAccepts AC 24 V, DC 24 V or PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt) at up to 61 W, so it can run from a local mains drop, a DC power supply, or a single PoE++ switch port depending on what's already at the site.
Networked, multi-site monitoringTriple streams, ONVIF Profile S/G/T/M compliance, up to 32 users and TLS 1.3 / RTSP-HTTP digest authentication make it straightforward to add into an existing VMS alongside other network cameras.
Not the right pick if you need…
- Gigabit network uplink — this camera's network interface is 1× RJ45 10M/100M Base-TX, not Gigabit Ethernet; plan bandwidth for triple-stream operation accordingly.
- Built-in WiFi, microphone or speaker — the datasheet lists WIFI, built-in mic and built-in speaker as N/A on this model; audio in/out is via external wired interfaces only.
- A panoramic overview channel — this is a single-channel classic zoom PTZ, not a dual-sensor panoramic-linkage unit; it has one lens and one field of view at a time.
- An IK-rated vandal-resistant housing — the datasheet lists IP66 ingress protection only, with no IK impact rating; choose a fixed IK10 dome for high-vandalism sites.

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.

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 IPC6858ER-X40-VF from its own datasheet: 8 MP (3840×2160) on a 1/1.8" sensor, 40x optical zoom (5.7–228 mm), 250 m Smart IR, color down to 0.003 Lux, IP66 with a heater for -40 °C to 70 °C, AC 24 V / DC 24 V / PoE++ 802.3bt (max. 61 W).
Who it is for
- Sites where evidence must hold up at distance — 8 MP is the highest resolution in this 40x/45x family: at 228 mm a person is identifiable up to 482.9 m in daylight, against 333.1 m for the 4 MP IPC6854ER-X40-VF with the same lens.
- Large yards, plazas and city squares — In the wide view the 3840-pixel image lets operators zoom into recorded footage afterwards; people flow counting and crowd density monitoring run in the camera.
- Perimeters watched on a schedule — 1024 presets, 16 preset patrols of up to 64 presets each and smart intrusion prevention with human, non-motor vehicle and vehicle classification; 250 m IR for night presets.
- Projects already standardised on Uniview 8 MP — Same Ø270 × 497 mm housing, brackets and 61 W power budget as the 2 MP and 4 MP siblings, so a site can mix resolutions without changing mounts or power design.
Where and how to install
- Height and view — Mount high, typically 6–10 m on a pole, mast or roof corner, so the long views pass over vehicles and fences. Tilt runs -15° to 90° with auto reverse.
- Watch the backlight: DWDR only — Unlike the 2 MP and 4 MP siblings with 120 dB WDR, this model lists digital WDR (DWDR). Avoid presets that look straight into the rising or setting sun, bright sky or oncoming headlights; use HLC for headlights and BLC for dark subjects in front of a bright background.
- A rigid mount for 9.69 kg at 228 mm — At the tele end the view is 2.14° wide, so pole sway shows as shaking even with gyroscope EIS. Prefer the pole bracket TR-UP08-A-IN or aluminium TR-UP08-B-IN on a thick pole; corner: TR-UC08-A-IN / TR-UC08-B-IN; wall: TR-WE45-A-IN or gooseneck TR-WE45-B-IN; ceiling: TR-CE45-IN, TR-UF45-A-IN, TR-SE45-IN (200) or TR-SE45-A-IN (500).
- Power and the junction box — Maximum draw is 61 W with heater and IR on. 802.3at (30 W) ports are not enough and an 802.3bt Type 3 port (60 W at the switch) is marginal, so use a Type 4 (90 W) PoE++ port or injector, or a 24 V AC/DC supply above 61 W. Make the power, RJ45, RS485, alarm and audio joints in the TR-JB12-IN junction box.
- Lightning, earthing and the IR path — Built-in surge protection is 6 kV and the housing is IP66; add surge protectors on power, network and RS485 and earth the pole. Keep the dome clear of walls, eaves and branches so the 850 nm IR does not reflect back and wash out night presets.
Wide or zoomed in: what you actually see
At 5.7 mm the IPC6858ER-X40-VF covers about 55.4 m of width at 50 m. At 228 mm the view is about 3.7 m wide at 100 m, which puts roughly 1030 pixels on each metre of the scene (3840 ÷ 3.74), about 1.5 times the 4 MP model at the same zoom. The IR reaches 250 m, so DORI distances beyond that need daylight or a lit scene.
| Wide · 5.7 mm | Tele · 228 mm | |
|---|---|---|
| Horizontal view angle | 57.95° | 2.14° |
| Width covered at 10 m | 11.1 m | 0.4 m |
| Width covered at 50 m | 55.4 m | 1.9 m |
| Width covered at 100 m | 110.7 m | 3.7 m |
| Identify a stranger's face up to | 15.5 m | 482.9 m |
| Recognize someone you know up to | 31.1 m | 965.9 m |
| See what a person is doing up to | 62.2 m | 1931.8 m |
| Detect that something is there up to | 155.5 m | 4829.4 m |
| IR night distance | 250 m | 250 m |
- Even at the wide end a face is identifiable up to 15.5 m, so a home position over a gate area close to the pole is useful on its own.
- Save tele presets on distant gates and roads: at 228 mm a person is identifiable up to 482.9 m in daylight.
- At night, keep important presets within 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 (EN 62676-4) from the datasheet.

8MP 40x PTZ Camera FAQ — IPC6858ER-X40-VF
Can the IPC6858ER-X40-VF run on PoE?
Yes — the product data lists PoE++ support, so a PoE++ switch port or injector powers the dome through the same cable that carries video. Ordinary 802.3af ports on a basic cctv poe switch are not enough for a PTZ of this class, so specify PoE++ when ordering switches.
What image quality does the 8MP sensor deliver at distance?
The main stream records 8MP (3840x2160) at up to 30 fps through a 5.7–228 mm, 40x optical zoom lens with 16x digital zoom. The LightHunter 1/1.8-inch sensor works at 0.003 lux in color, and DWDR balances mixed day lighting across large yards.
How far does it see at night?
IR illumination at 850 nm reaches 250 m (820 ft) with auto or manual control, and the sensor drops to 0 lux with IR active. That covers a full truck yard or a city intersection from one corner pole without any additional lighting.
Does it work with third-party NVRs and VMS?
Yes. ONVIF Profile S, G, T and M plus API and SDK let ONVIF-compliant recorders and platforms pull its streams, alongside Uniview EZStation, UNV-Link and UNV-Link Pro. Security features include TLS 1.3, HTTPS encryption, strong passwords and operation log export.
How many presets and patrol routes can I program?
It stores 1024 presets, 16 route patrols with up to 32 actions each, and 16 recorded patrols with up to 128 actions each. Smart intrusion prevention with false alarm filtering plus people flow counting and crowd density monitoring run during patrols.
What storage does it offer, and is it weatherproof?
A MicroSD slot takes cards up to 512 GB with ANR refill after outages, and NAS (NFS) is supported. Per the product data the housing is IP66 rated for -40 to 70 °C operation. Ultra 265 keeps the 4K bit rate between 128 Kbps and 16 Mbps.
IPC6858ER-X40-VF (8 MP) or IPC6854ER-X40-VF (4 MP): what do I gain and lose?
Both use the same 5.7–228 mm lens and 250 m IR. The 8 MP model gains detail: identify distance at full zoom is 482.9 m versus 333.1 m. It gives up some low-light and backlight performance: color minimum illumination is 0.003 Lux versus 0.0005 Lux, it has digital WDR instead of 120 dB WDR, and its sub stream is 720P instead of 1080P. Choose 8 MP for daytime evidence at long range, and 4 MP for dusk, poorly lit or strongly backlit scenes.
Is the 16 Mbps maximum bit rate and 10/100 Mbps port of the IPC6858ER-X40-VF a problem for 8 MP?
No for the camera link: even at 16 Mbps on the main stream plus the 720P and D1 streams, the total stays far below 100 Mbps. With Ultra 265 or H.265, 16 Mbps is normally enough for 8 MP at 30 fps; if fast pan and zoom make the picture blocky, raise the bit rate toward the maximum rather than lowering the frame rate. Plan the switch uplink and NVR for the total: eight of these at 16 Mbps add up to 128 Mbps, so use a gigabit uplink.
How do I view the IPC6858ER-X40-VF smoothly on a phone or over a slow internet link?
Use the UNV-Link or UNV-Link Pro app (or EZStation on a PC) and select the sub stream for remote live view: on this model it is 720P (1280×720), and the third stream is D1 (720×576), both far lighter than the 8 MP main stream. Switch to the main stream only when you need full detail, for example when playing back a recording. If your NVR records only one stream, make sure it records the main stream so the 8 MP detail is kept.
Will the IPC6858ER-X40-VF give a clear picture at dusk or under weak street lights?
It stays in color down to 0.003 Lux at F1.2; below that it switches to black and white with the 850 nm IR, which reaches 250 m. Note that the iris closes to F4.6 at the tele end, so a zoomed-in preset gathers much less light than the wide view and switches to IR earlier. For long zoomed presets at night, add lighting at the target or accept black and white IR images inside 250 m; the sodium lamp white balance mode helps keep colors natural under orange street lights.
Does the IPC6858ER-X40-VF follow moving people or vehicles automatically?
No, auto-tracking is not listed in its datasheet. It raises smart intrusion alarms (cross line, intrusion, enter/leave area) with human and vehicle classification, counts people and runs patrols, and its 7 alarm inputs can call presets from external detectors. For an operator, the 0.1°/s minimum pan and tilt speed allows smooth manual following at full zoom. If automatic tracking is a must, ask us for a model that lists it.
