The IPC98344ER-GX42-E8-W-VH3 is a panoramic-linkage PTZ camera combining an 8-sensor stitched 32MP panorama channel (11520×2700 @30fps, 360° horizontal, 110° vertical) with a 4MP 42× 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 500 m, optical + digital dehazing, 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 42× 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 and optical dehazing keep summer asphalt and morning fog 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; in full darkness the 500 m smart IR takes over — far enough to follow a vehicle along the whole approach road.
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. 124 W). Plan power cabling and a suitable outdoor PSU at the pole before ordering.
- 13.5 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.

Who uses it, where it goes and how to install it
Written for the IPC98344ER-GX42-E8-W-VH3 from its own datasheet: 32 MP 8-sensor 360° panorama (11520×2700) plus a 4 MP 42× detail PTZ (6.0–252.0 mm), 500 m IR, RJ45 + SFP fibre port, DC 24 V / 36 V at ≤ 124 W, 13.5 kg.
Who it is for
- Large open sites watched from one pole — Plazas, stations, yards and campuses: the 11520×2700 panorama covers 360° with a 110° vertical view, and people counting and crowd density run across the whole scene while the 42× channel zooms on any boxed area.
- Long-range perimeters and approach roads — Intrusion rules with classification trigger the 42× (252.0 mm) channel to auto-track, with handover beyond the panorama's edge; identification reaches 372.4 m by DORI and the IR lights up to 500 m at night.
- Highways, ports and borders on fibre — The 100M/1000M SFP port takes fibre straight into the camera, so a remote pole needs no separate media converter; optical defog and heat-haze reduction help on long views over water and hot roads.
- Operators who need faces on record — The detail channel detects and captures faces and bodies with face-body association and matches against up to 16 databases with 100,000 faces on the device, without a separate server.
Where and how to install
- Height and position — Mount near the centre of the area at about 6 m or higher; the 110° vertical panorama gives no blind spot at a 6 m mounting height per the datasheet. Against a wall or roof edge, switch the stitching to 180° or 270° so no pixels are spent on the building.
- Pole and bracket for 13.5 kg — Φ380 mm × 475.9 mm and 13.5 kg: use TR-UP08M-A-IN (pole), TR-CE45-S-IN (pendant) or TR-WE45-S-IN (wall) on a rigid steel pole. At the 2.20° tele end a small sway becomes a large image shift; gyroscopic stabilization reduces but does not remove it.
- DC power at the pole — No PoE: feed DC 24 V or DC 36 V (±25%) through the cold-pressed terminal wires; consumption is ≤ 124 W, about 5.2 A at 24 V or 3.4 A at 36 V. Put an outdoor PSU rated above 124 W in a weatherproof box at the pole and keep the DC cable short.
- Copper or fibre — Within 100 m of the switch use the 10/100/1000M RJ45 port with Cat5e/Cat6. For longer runs plug an SFP module (100M or 1000M, matching the fibre type and the switch end) into the camera's SFP port. Seal both inside a junction box.
- Weather, surge and calibration — IP67, IK10 (except the front window), -40 °C to 70 °C and 6 KV surge protection; earth the pole and protect the DC line. After mounting, run the one-click panoramic-detail calibration and keep pole arms and branches away from the 8 lenses so IR does not reflect into the panorama.
Panorama vs detail channel: what each one actually sees
The 32 MP panorama has about 1.4× the horizontal pixels of a 16 MP 8192×1800 panorama, but it is still an overview: identification is 3.1 m. The 42× detail channel does the distance work: at 252.0 mm the view is 3.8 m wide at 100 m (about 700 pixels per meter) and identification reaches 372.4 m. In darkness, plan for the 500 m IR as the limit.
| Panorama · 8 × 2 mm | Detail · 6.0 mm (wide) | Detail · 252.0 mm (42×) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Horizontal view angle | 360° (180°/270° selectable) | 59.47° | 2.20° |
| Vertical view angle | 110° | 35.62° | 1.24° |
| Resolution | 11520×2700 @30fps | 2688×1520 @60fps | 2688×1520 @60fps |
| Width covered at 10 m | 360° panorama | 11.4 m | 0.4 m |
| Width covered at 50 m | 360° panorama | 57.1 m | 1.9 m |
| Width covered at 100 m | 360° panorama | 114.2 m | 3.8 m |
| Pixels per meter at 100 m | — | 24 | 700 |
| IR distance | — (no illuminator) | 500 m | 500 m |
| Detect that something is there up to | 31.0 m | 93.1 m | 3724.1 m |
| Observe what is happening up to | 12.4 m | 37.2 m | 1489.7 m |
| Recognize someone you know up to | 6.2 m | 18.6 m | 744.8 m |
| Identify a stranger's face up to | 3.1 m | 9.3 m | 372.4 m |
- Use the panorama for overview, counting and intrusion triggers across 360°; do not rely on it for faces beyond 3.1 m.
- Use the 42× channel for faces, plates and far targets: set presets on gates and approach roads, and let linkage and auto-tracking take it from there.
- Colour at night is not this model's job: it has IR only. If you need warm-light colour at the gate, look at the IPC96342EFW-X25-E8-W-VH3.
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.

32MP 360° Panoramic PTZ FAQ — IPC98344ER-GX42-E8-W-VH3
What resolution is the 360° panorama?
Eight 1/1.8-inch high-sensitivity sensors stitch a 32MP image of 11520×2700 at 30 fps covering 360° horizontally and 110° vertically. That pixel density lets operators zoom digitally inside the panorama itself while the separate detail channel handles optical zoom.
How far can the detail channel see at night?
The 4MP detail channel has a 6–252 mm 42x optical zoom with 8x digital and IR illumination to 500 m, running at up to 60 fps. Minimum illumination is 0.0003 lux under IR, so long perimeters stay covered in total darkness.
How does target tracking work across 360°?
Box-select a target in the panorama and the detail channel zooms, centres and tracks it, with one-click calibration and handover tracking between targets. Auto tracking classifies person, motor and non-motor vehicles and returns to position after a set duration.
Can it match faces without a server?
Yes — face detection, capture and attribute analysis with face-body association run on the camera, and up to 16 face libraries holding 100,000 faces are stored on-device, so watchlist matching happens at the edge even on sites with no server room.
We have dust and heat haze — will image quality hold?
The detail channel combines optical plus digital dehazing with heat-haze reduction, gyroscopic stabilization and adaptive glare suppression — important at 42x zoom where atmospheric shimmer is magnified. White balance modes include sodium lamp and area WB for mixed lighting.
What conditions is it built for?
IP67 and IK10 rated, operating from -40 to 70 °C, with strobe and customizable voice alarm through two built-in speakers, 2 audio inputs and outputs, 50 Mbps max live bandwidth and up to 20 concurrent bitstreams from a single IP address.
Can I connect the IPC98344ER-GX42-E8-W-VH3 directly to fibre?
Yes. Besides the 10/100/1000M RJ45 port it has 1 × 100M/1000M SFP port, so you can run fibre from the switch straight into the camera with no media converter at the pole. Choose an SFP module that matches your fibre (single-mode or multi-mode, connector) and the module at the switch end; a module is not listed as included, so tell us your fibre type and we will quote a matching pair.
What power supply does the IPC98344ER-GX42-E8-W-VH3 need?
A DC 24 V or DC 36 V (±25%) supply; there is no PoE input. Power consumption is ≤ 124 W, which means about 5.2 A at 24 V or 3.4 A at 36 V, so pick an outdoor-rated PSU with margin above 124 W. Fit it at the pole: 36 V draws less current and loses less voltage on the same cable, which helps when the PSU cannot sit right next to the camera.
Can my NVR record the 32 MP panorama of the IPC98344ER-GX42-E8-W-VH3?
Only if it accepts an 11520×2700 stream; many recorders have a per-channel resolution limit, so check yours. If it does not, the panorama main stream can be set to 16 MP (8192×1800), 6144×1200 or 4096×900 at max. 30 fps. The camera supports ONVIF Profile S, G, T and M plus RTSP and outputs two channels from one IP, so it takes two NVR channels; tell us your NVR model and we will confirm before ordering.
How much storage does the IPC98344ER-GX42-E8-W-VH3 need for 30 days?
Plan for two main streams; the bit rate range is 128 Kbps to 16 Mbps per stream. Assuming both channels at 16 Mbps continuous, that is 32 Mbps, about 345.6 GB per day or about 10.4 TB for 30 days; at 8 Mbps per channel it halves to about 5.2 TB. The 512 GB microSD is best kept for ANR backup, with the main recording on an NVR or NAS (NFS).
Should I choose the IPC98344ER-GX42-E8-W-VH3 or the IPC96342EFW-X25-E8-W-VH3?
Choose this model for reach and fibre: 32 MP panorama, 42× detail lens with identification up to 372.4 m, 500 m IR and an SFP port. The IPC96342EFW-X25-E8-W-VH3 has a 16 MP panorama and a 25× lens (identification up to 232.8 m) with 200 m IR plus a 100 m warm light and two built-in speakers for voice warnings, which this model's datasheet does not list. Both need DC 24 V/36 V and the same Tiangong brackets.
