The Uniview IPC6828EL-X42-W-VH1 is a high-performance 8MP laser PTZ camera designed for long-range surveillance across large commercial, industrial and critical infrastructure sites. Its 1/1.8-inch CMOS sensor, 42X optical zoom and 6–252mm motorised lens allow operators to move from broad situational awareness to detailed observation over very long distances, while 4K resolution at up to 30fps provides strong image detail for live monitoring and recorded investigation. LightHunter low-light technology, 500m IR illumination, optical defog, gyroscope-based image stabilisation and an integrated wiper make the camera particularly suitable for demanding outdoor environments. Smart analytics including auto tracking, intrusion prevention, multi-target detection, people counting and object classification further support perimeter protection, traffic monitoring and large-area security applications.
