The IPC7628EL-L-X41-VH1 is an 8MP intelligent network positioning system PTZ camera with a 41× optical zoom lens (6-246 mm, F1.2(W)-F4.6(T)) and a 3840×2160 main stream at up to 30 fps, plus 1080P sub stream and D1 third stream. LightHunter low-light processing keeps color images usable down to 0.0002 Lux, Smart IR extends night viewing up to 1000 m, and onboard analytics cover smart intrusion prevention (cross line, intrusion, enter/leave area) with human/vehicle classification and false-alarm filtering, plus people counting and crowd-density monitoring. Housed in a metal enclosure rated IP66 and -40 °C to 70 °C with a rain-sensing auto wiper and 6 kV surge protection, it is built for long-range perimeter and area monitoring in harsh outdoor conditions.
Is this the right camera for you?
Plain-language guide for buyers and installers — based only on what this camera actually does.
Long-range perimeter & border lines41× optical zoom (6-246 mm) reaches out where a fixed lens can't, and DORI Detect distance runs up to 4829.4 m at full telephoto — smart intrusion prevention with cross-line, area entry/exit detection and person/vehicle classification watches the line.
Industrial sites & extreme climatesA metal housing rated -40 °C to 70 °C and IP66, with 6 kV surge protection and a rain-sensing auto wiper, keeps working through desert heat, arctic cold and driving rain without a heated enclosure.
Road intersections & mixed trafficSmart intrusion prevention classifies motor vehicles, non-motor vehicles and pedestrians with false-alarm filtering, while 120 dB WDR and BLC/HLC handle strong backlight from headlights and low sun.
Public squares & crowd monitoringPeople-flow counting and crowd-density monitoring run alongside the 41× zoom, so operators can watch overall occupancy and still zoom in on a specific person or incident.
Night operation, long distanceLightHunter processing keeps color images usable to 0.0002 Lux, and once it gets fully dark, Smart IR takes over out to 1000 m — with 0 Lux color-to-IR (ICR) switching so the view never drops out.
Rainy & coastal climatesA rain-sensing auto wiper clears the lens window automatically in downpours, and the IP66-rated metal housing resists dust and driving rain without needing a separate hood.
Not the right pick if you need…
- No PoE on this class of machine — it needs dedicated DC±48 V±25%, DC 24 V±15% (DC 20 V to DC 60 V), or AC 24 V±25% power (max. 114 W). Plan power cabling and a suitable outdoor PSU before ordering.
- 15.42 kg: a heavy-duty unit that ships with a dedicated explosion-proof pan-tilt wall bracket (TR-WM08-B) and needs a rigid wall or pole — not a light camera arm.
- A single fixed-zoom PTZ channel with no separate wide-angle overview channel — if you need simultaneous 360° overview plus zoomed detail from one unit, a panoramic-linkage model is a better fit.

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 IPC7628EL-L-X41-VH1 from its own datasheet: 8 MP (3840 × 2160) at up to 30 fps, 41x optical zoom (6–246 mm), 1000 m laser IR, RJ45 plus SFP fibre port, DC 48 V / DC 24 V / AC 24 V power (max. 114 W, no PoE).
Who it is for
- Borders, pipelines and very long perimeters — The laser illuminator reaches 1000 m in darkness, and at 246 mm the datasheet gives identify up to 482.9 m and detect up to 4829.4 m, so one tower covers a long stretch day and night.
- Operators who need 8 MP detail on distant targets — The 3840 × 2160 main stream puts about 1023 pixels on each meter at 100 m at full zoom, and 3D positioning lets the operator drag a box on the image to zoom straight to a target.
- Remote towers on a fibre network — Besides the gigabit RJ45 it has a 100 M/1000 M SFP port, so the fibre can plug straight into the camera without a separate media converter at the top of the tower.
- Integrators upgrading older positioning units — DC 48 V, DC 24 V (DC 20 V to DC 60 V) or AC 24 V input, 7 alarm inputs / 2 outputs, audio in/out and RS485 let it reuse the existing power, beams and sirens; ONVIF Profile S, G, T and M is listed for third-party platforms.
Where and how to install
- A rigid mount for a 15.42 kg unit — The datasheet lists the TR-WM08-B wall mounting bracket for explosion-proof pan-tilt as its accessory. Fix it to concrete, steel or a thick-walled pole with anchors rated well above the weight; for pole or tower adapters, confirm with us before ordering.
- High, stiff and with a clear view — Towers of 10 m or more are common for this class, so the long views clear trees, buildings and terrain. At 246 mm the view is only 2.15° wide, so pole sway is magnified many times: use a thick steel pole or guyed tower, not a thin light pole.
- Power: plan for 114 W, no PoE — Max. 114 W is about 4.75 A at 24 V or about 2.4 A at 48 V. The power leads are wires with cold-pressed terminals; make the joint in a weatherproof junction box and size the cable so the voltage at the camera stays inside the stated tolerance.
- Weather, lightning and earthing — The metal housing is IP66 and rated -40 °C to 70 °C, with a rain-sensing wiper and a snow removal mode. Built-in surge protection is 6 kV; on towers add external surge protectors on power, network and alarm lines and bond the pole and bracket to earth.
- Keep the laser path clear — Make sure no tower steel, cabinet, wall or branch enters the picture at any pan or tilt position you use: a strong illuminator reflects from near objects and washes out the night image. Check every preset after dark.
Wide or zoomed in: what you actually see
At 6 mm the IPC7628EL-L-X41-VH1 covers about 55.4 m of width at 50 m, an overview of a whole yard or junction. At 246 mm the view narrows to 2.15°, about 3.8 m wide at 100 m, with about 1023 pixels per meter. DORI distances beyond 1000 m apply in daylight; in full darkness the laser IR reaches 1000 m.
| Wide · 6 mm | Tele · 246 mm | |
|---|---|---|
| Horizontal view angle | 57.96° | 2.15° |
| 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 | 110.8 m | 3.8 m |
| Pixels per meter at 100 m | 35 px/m | 1023 px/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 |
| Laser IR night distance | 1000 m | 1000 m |
- Use the wide end (6 mm) as the home position: at 100 m it covers about 110.8 m of width, and the 8 MP image still gives about 35 pixels per meter there.
- Save zoomed presets for distant gates, roads or shorelines: at full zoom a face is identifiable up to 482.9 m in good light.
- At night, plan presets that must work in darkness within the 1000 m laser IR range.
Widths are calculated from the horizontal view angle (width = 2 × distance × tan(angle ÷ 2)); pixels per meter = 3840 ÷ width; identify/recognize/observe/detect distances are the manufacturer's DORI figures (EN 62676-4) from the datasheet.

Long-Range PTZ Camera FAQ — IPC7628EL-L-X41-VH1
How far can the IPC7628EL-L-X41-VH1 actually see?
DORI figures at full 41x zoom: detect a target at up to 4,829 m, observe at 1,931 m, recognize at 965 m and identify at 482 m. Smart IR reaches 1,000 m, so the camera keeps working at night on borders, ports and large perimeters.
What zoom and lens does it have?
A 6–246 mm motorized lens with 41x optical zoom plus 16x digital, aperture F1.2 at wide end. Field of view runs from 57.96° wide down to 2.15° at full telephoto, so one positioning system covers a wide scene and still pulls in detail kilometres away.
Is it usable at night without street lighting?
Yes. The 1/1.8-inch sensor works in colour down to 0.0002 lux, and Smart IR illuminates up to 1,000 m in total darkness. 120 dB WDR handles headlights and gate lighting, and defog plus 2D/3D noise reduction keep the long-range image clean.
Can it record without an NVR?
It takes a MicroSD card up to 512 GB for edge recording and supports NAS (NFS) network storage. ANR automatically backfills recording gaps after a network outage — useful on long wireless links to remote perimeter and border sites.
What analytics does it run on the edge?
Cross line, intrusion, enter and leave area detection with false alarm filtering, multi-target detection, plus people flow counting and crowd density monitoring. Basic events include motion, ultra motion, tampering, audio detection and object removed or left behind — all inside the camera.
Will it survive heat, dust and storms?
The housing is rated IP66 against dust and driving rain and operates from -40 to 70 °C, so desert, coastal and highland sites are covered. Ultra 265/H.265 compression at 128 Kbps–16 Mbps keeps bandwidth low on radio links.
What power supply does the IPC7628EL-L-X41-VH1 need, and is 24 V or 48 V better?
It has no PoE and needs a dedicated supply of DC 48 V (±25%), DC 24 V (±15%, DC 20 V to DC 60 V) or AC 24 V (±25%) rated above its max. 114 W; with the usual 30% headroom that is about 148 W. At 48 V the current is about 2.4 A instead of about 4.75 A at 24 V, so on long cable runs up a tower 48 V loses much less voltage. Check the voltage at the camera with the laser, heater and wiper running.
Can I connect fibre directly to the IPC7628EL-L-X41-VH1?
Yes. Besides the 10/100/1000 M RJ45 it has 1 × 100 M/1000 M SFP port, so fibre can run from the control room to the camera without a converter on the tower; copper alone is limited to 100 m. The datasheet does not say whether an SFP module is included, so plan one that matches the switch at the other end (single-mode or multi-mode, wavelength, 1000 M) and confirm with us before ordering.
How much NVR storage and bandwidth does the 8 MP IPC7628EL-L-X41-VH1 need?
At the maximum bit rate of 16384 Kbps with continuous recording it writes about 176.9 GB per day, so 30 days need about 5.3 TB per camera and a 512 GB microSD card holds about 2.9 days. Plan the link for at least about 16.4 Mbps per recorded stream plus any live view; the datasheet lists a live-view maximum of 50 Mbps. Ultra 265 or H.265, a lower bit rate and event-based recording reduce disk use a lot.
Will the IPC7628EL-L-X41-VH1 work with a non-Uniview NVR or VMS?
Usually yes for live view, recording and basic PTZ control: it supports ONVIF Profile S, G, T and M, plus RTSP, API and SDK. Check that your recorder accepts 8 MP (3840 × 2160) streams at your chosen bit rate. Laser, wiper and smart-rule settings are made in the camera's web interface or in Uniview clients (EZStation, UNV-Link, UNV-Link Pro); tell us your platform and we will confirm before you order.
Should I choose the IPC7628EL-L-X41-VH1 or the 4 MP IPC7624ER-X41-VH1?
Both are 41x positioning systems in our range. Choose the IPC7628EL-L-X41-VH1 when you need the most detail and the longest night reach: 8 MP, 1000 m laser IR and an SFP fibre port. The IPC7624ER-X41-VH1 is listed as the 4 MP 41x version; compare its frame rate, IR distance and power on its own page. Send us the distance to your farthest target and we will recommend one.
