The IPC96342EFW-X25-E8-W-VH3 is a panoramic-linkage PTZ camera combining an 8-sensor stitched 16MP panorama channel (8192×1800 @30fps, 360° horizontal, 110° vertical) with a 4MP 25× optical-zoom detail channel (2688×1520 @60fps) in one housing with single-IP dual-stream output. Select a target in the panoramic view and the detail channel links, zooms and auto-tracks it — with handover tracking, classification filtering (person / motor / non-motor), face detection with up to 16 databases and 100,000 faces, and people counting. A ±0.04° high-precision encoder, gyroscopic stabilization, heat-haze reduction, wiper, IR 200 m plus 100 m warm light, and an IP67 / IK10 housing rated -40 °C to 70 °C complete the package.
Is this the right camera for you?
Plain-language guide for buyers and installers — based only on what this camera actually does.
City squares & plazasOne pole, whole square: the 16MP panorama covers 360° with a 110° vertical field — no blind spot even at a 6 m mounting height — while multi-zone people counting and crowd-density detection watch the flow.
Perimeter with auto-trackingPerimeter intrusion on both channels with person/vehicle classification; when something crosses the line, the 25× detail channel locks on and tracks it automatically — and hands over tracking beyond the panorama's edge.
Road intersectionsMixed-traffic detection classifies cars, two-wheelers and pedestrians; adaptive glare suppression tames headlights at night and heat-haze reduction keeps summer asphalt from smearing the image.
Stadiums & scenic areasDraw a box anywhere in the panorama and the detail channel zooms there instantly; gyroscopic stabilization keeps the long-zoom image steady on a swaying pole in the wind.
Night, long rangeStarlight sensors (0.0003 lux panorama / 0.0005 lux detail) keep color late into the night; when it gets truly dark, 200 m IR and a 100 m warm light take over — the warm light also feeds full-color capture for face and plate evidence.
Harsh outdoor mountsIP67 sealing, IK10 vandal resistance, -40 °C to 70 °C operation, 6 kV surge protection, a wiper for rain and a snow-removal mode — built for the pole nobody wants to climb twice.
Not the right pick if you need…
- No PoE on this class of machine — it needs a dedicated DC 24 V or DC 36 V supply (max. 135 W). Plan power cabling and a suitable outdoor PSU at the pole before ordering.
- 12.5 kg and Φ380 mm: this is a heavy-duty unit that needs the dedicated Tiangong brackets (pole / pendant / wall) and a rigid pole — not a light camera arm.
- The panorama channel has no WDR and no zoom — harsh backlight scenes and distant detail are the detail channel's job. If all you need is simple zoom patrol, a classic single-lens PTZ costs far less.

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 | MAL · 59.9° | 3.9° |
|---|---|---|
| 5 m16 ft | 5.8 m18.9 ft | 0.3 m1.1 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 IPC96342EFW-X25-E8-W-VH3 from its own datasheet: 16 MP 8-sensor 360° panorama plus a 4 MP 25× detail PTZ, 200 m IR and 100 m warm light, DC 24 V / 36 V at max. 135 W, 12.5 kg.
Who it is for
- City squares, plazas and transport hubs — One pole replaces several fixed cameras: the 8192×1800 panorama watches the full 360° while people counting and crowd density run on both channels, and the 25× channel zooms on any spot you box in the panorama.
- Industrial, logistics and utility perimeters — Intrusion, cross-line and enter/leave-area rules with person/vehicle classification cut false alarms; the detail channel then auto-tracks the target and keeps following it after it leaves the panorama (handover tracking).
- Road junctions and traffic operators — The detail channel's mixed-traffic detection separates cars, non-motor vehicles and pedestrians; adaptive glare suppression handles headlights at night and heat-haze reduction keeps hot asphalt from blurring the 25× image.
- Campuses, stadiums and scenic areas — On-device face detection with up to 16 databases and 100,000 faces on the detail channel, two built-in speakers and a strobe for voice warnings, and gyroscopic stabilization for tall, wind-exposed poles.
Where and how to install
- Height and position — Put it near the centre of the area at about 6 m or higher: with a 110° vertical panorama the datasheet states no blind spot at a 6 m mounting height. On a building edge or wall, set the stitching to 180° or 270° so the image does not waste pixels on the wall.
- Pole and bracket — The unit is 12.5 kg and Φ380 mm. Use the matching Tiangong bracket: TR-UP08M-A-IN (pole), TR-CE45-S-IN (pendant) or TR-WE45-S-IN (wall), on a rigid steel pole. At the 3.89° tele end any sway is magnified; gyroscopic stabilization helps but does not replace a stiff pole.
- Power at the pole — No PoE: it needs DC 24 V or DC 36 V (±25%) and draws up to 135 W, about 5.6 A at 24 V or 3.75 A at 36 V. Mount an outdoor PSU in a weatherproof box at the pole, keep the DC run short, and connect the cold-pressed terminal wires inside a junction box.
- Network link — The single RJ45 port is 1000M; both channels share it. Copper Ethernet is limited to 100 m per run, so for longer pole distances put a fibre media converter in the pole box and bring fibre back to the switch.
- Weather and surge — IP67, IK10 (except the front window) and -40 °C to 70 °C cover open outdoor sites. Built-in surge protection is 6 kV; on a tall metal pole still earth the pole and add surge protectors on the power and network lines.
- Calibrate after mounting — Run the one-click panoramic-detail calibration once the unit is fixed and level, so a click in the panorama lands the detail channel on the right spot. Keep pole arms, signs and branches away from the lenses: close objects reflect the IR and break the stitched view.
Panorama vs detail channel: what each one actually sees
The panorama is for seeing everything at once, not for detail: it identifies a face only up to 3.1 m. The detail channel does the long-range work: at 25× (150.0 mm) its view is only 6.8 m wide at 100 m, about 396 pixels per meter, and identification reaches 232.8 m. At night the usable range is set by the 200 m IR, not by the DORI figure.
| Panorama · 8 × 2 mm | Detail · 6.0 mm (wide) | Detail · 150.0 mm (25×) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Horizontal view angle | 360° (180°/270° selectable) | 59.91° | 3.89° |

| Width covered at 50 m | 360° panorama | 57.6 m | 3.4 m |

| IR / warm light | — (no illuminator) | IR 200 m · warm 100 m | IR 200 m · warm 100 m |
| Detect that something is there up to | 31.0 m | 93.1 m | 2327.6 m |
| Observe what is happening up to | 12.4 m | 37.2 m | 931.0 m |
| Recognize someone you know up to | 6.2 m | 18.6 m | 465.5 m |
| Identify a stranger's face up to | 3.1 m | 9.3 m | 232.8 m |
- Use the panorama for overview, counting and intrusion rules across the whole site; do not expect faces from it beyond 3.1 m.
- Use the detail channel for faces and plates: set presets on gates and entrances, and let auto-tracking follow targets the panorama rules pick up.
- For targets beyond 200 m at night, add site lighting: the DORI distances assume a lit scene, and the IR reaches 200 m.
Detail-channel widths are calculated from the horizontal view angle (width = 2 × distance × tan(angle ÷ 2)); pixels per meter = 2688 ÷ width. DORI distances are from the official Uniview datasheet. The panorama is a 360° stitched view, so a width figure does not apply.

360° Panoramic PTZ FAQ — IPC96342EFW-X25-E8-W-VH3
How does the 360° panorama work?
Eight 1/1.8-inch high-sensitivity sensors stitch a seamless 16MP image of 8192×1800 at 30 fps, covering 360° horizontally and 110° vertically. One unit on a mast replaces a ring of fixed cameras around a plaza, port yard or interchange.
Can it zoom in without losing the full view?
Yes — box-select any spot in the panorama and the separate 4MP 25x detail channel (6–150 mm) zooms, centres and tracks it at up to 60 fps, with one-click calibration and handover tracking. Auto tracking classifies person, motor and non-motor targets and returns home after a set duration.
Does it do face recognition on the device?
Yes. The detail channel supports face detection, capture and attribute analysis with face-body association, and stores up to 16 face libraries with 100,000 faces on-device — matching runs at the edge without a separate server.
What is night performance like?
The panorama sensors work in colour down to 0.0003 lux; the detail channel reaches 0.0005 lux with IR to 200 m and a 100 m warm light. Gyroscopic stabilization, heat-haze reduction and adaptive glare suppression keep long-range images steady and readable.
Can it warn intruders directly?
Yes — the audio-visual alarm links a strobe with customizable voice messages played through two built-in speakers, and there are 2 audio inputs and 2 outputs. Smart intrusion prevention with classification and multi-zone people counting decide when it fires.
How rugged is it, and how many viewers can connect?
The housing is IP67 and IK10 rated and operates from -40 to 70 °C. Max live bandwidth is 50 Mbps with up to 20 simultaneous bitstreams, both channels come from a single IP with triple streams each, and plugin-free live view works in the browser.
What power supply does the IPC96342EFW-X25-E8-W-VH3 need — can I run it from a PoE switch?
No, PoE is not supported. It takes DC 24 V or DC 36 V (±25%) through wires with cold-pressed terminals and draws up to 135 W, which is about 5.6 A at 24 V or 3.75 A at 36 V. Choose an outdoor-rated PSU with headroom above 135 W and mount it at the pole; 36 V carries less current, so it loses less voltage over the same cable.
How far can the IPC96342EFW-X25-E8-W-VH3 identify a face or read detail with the 25× channel?
By the datasheet DORI figures, the detail channel identifies a person from 9.3 m at the wide end up to 232.8 m at full 25× zoom, and recognizes someone known up to 465.5 m. The 360° panorama identifies only up to 3.1 m, so faces always come from the detail channel. At night, plan around the 200 m IR and 100 m warm light range.
Will the IPC96342EFW-X25-E8-W-VH3 work with a non-Uniview NVR or VMS?
Usually yes for video: it supports ONVIF Profile S, G, T and M plus RTSP, and the panorama and detail channels appear as two video sources from one IP address, so it uses two NVR channels. The recorder must accept and decode the 8192×1800 panorama stream. Linkage, auto-tracking and face libraries run in the camera and are set up in its web interface; on third-party systems smart events and PTZ control may be limited, so tell us your NVR model before ordering.
How much bandwidth and storage does the IPC96342EFW-X25-E8-W-VH3 need for 30 days of recording?
Plan for two main streams. Assuming both channels at the 16 Mbps maximum bit rate, that is 32 Mbps, about 345.6 GB per day or about 10.4 TB for 30 days of continuous recording. The 512 GB microSD slot would hold only about 1.5 days at that rate, so use it as ANR backup and record on an NVR or NAS; Ultra 265 and lower bit rates reduce the totals. Run it on a gigabit switch port.
Should I choose the IPC96342EFW-X25-E8-W-VH3 or the IPC98344ER-GX42-E8-W-VH3?
Both are Tiangong panoramic-linkage units. The IPC98344ER-GX42-E8-W-VH3 is listed as a 32MP+4MP Tiangong Pro model with 42× auto-tracking, so it suits sites that need more panorama detail and longer reach. This model's 25× detail channel already identifies faces up to 232.8 m, and it adds a 100 m warm light for color at night. Send us your site distances and we will compare both on its own datasheet before you order.
