CHOOSE YOUR LENS — TWO MODELS ON THIS PAGE
AHDZK (2.8-12 mm, up to 106.6° view) is a motorized 4X zoom lens that covers a wide area up close and can tighten in for moderate reach — lobbies, retail floors, driveways. AHDX4K (8-32 mm, up to 42.6° view) is a motorized 4X telephoto zoom built for long-range identification — parking lot entrances, perimeters, distant gates. Highlighted rows in the spec table below show every difference.

The Uniview IPC3234EA is a 4MP LightHunter WDR network dome camera built around a 1/1.8" CMOS sensor and a motorized 4X zoom lens. It combines up to 140 dB optical WDR, Smart IR night vision to 40 m, and metadata analysis (human/vehicle attributes, face recognition, intrusion prevention, people counting) in an IP67/IK10 body powered over PoE+. It is offered with two lens options: AHDZK (2.8-12 mm, wide coverage) or AHDX4K (8-32 mm, long-range reach).
Is this the right camera for you?
Plain-language guide for buyers and installers — based only on what this camera actually does.
Parking lots & vehicle gatesAHDX4K's 8-32 mm zoom reaches license plates and faces at distance; metadata analysis tags vehicle attributes automatically.
Retail & access verificationFace recognition can match against up to 100,000 faces across 16 libraries — flag known staff or blocklisted visitors on arrival.
Perimeters & warehouse yardsSmart intrusion prevention (cross line, intrusion, enter/leave area) filters false alarms by classifying human, vehicle and non-motor vehicle.
Malls & transit hubsPeople counting tracks flow and crowd density for different statistical scenarios — occupancy trends without a separate sensor.
Dusk corridors & mixed lightingLightHunter sensor plus 140 dB WDR keep color detail readable in near-dark and harsh backlight scenes.
Harsh or vandal-prone sitesIP67 + IK10 body shrugs off rain, dust and impact; PoE+ does power and video over one cable.
Not the right pick if you need…
- A simple fixed-focus lens — this is a motorized 4X zoom lens (2.8-12 mm or 8-32 mm), not a fixed 2.8/4 mm lens
- Wi-Fi — this is a wired RJ45 camera
- A visible warm-light deterrent — this model uses invisible 850 nm Smart IR only, no white-light illuminator
- Battery or solar power — PoE+ / DC 12V wired power only
- 8MP/4K resolution — this camera is 4MP (2688 × 1520)

How far can it see? (DORI)
DORI (EN 62676-4) is the industry standard for what a camera can do at distance. Because each lens is a motorized 4X zoom, every value spans a range from wide to full telephoto. Switch the lens buttons above to compare.

4MP LightHunter Zoom Dome FAQ — IPC3234EA-AHDZK(X4K)-I1
What is the difference between the AHDZK and AHDX4K lens versions?
Both are 4X motorized zooms. The ZK covers 2.8–12 mm with a 106.6°–51.3° view for close and mid-range scenes; the X4K covers 8–32 mm with 42.6°–15.2°, detecting people from 124 m up to 496.6 m at full zoom — pick it for long perimeters and wide yards.
How good is the IPC3234EA in low light?
The 1/1.8-inch LightHunter sensor holds color down to 0.0003 Lux on the F1.2 ZK lens (0.0005 Lux on the F1.6 X4K), and 140 dB optical WDR balances headlights against dark backgrounds. When there is no light at all, Smart IR takes over out to 40 m.
Does it do face recognition on the camera itself?
Yes. Edge face recognition supports up to 16 face libraries with up to 100,000 faces total, so allow/alert lists run without a server. Metadata analysis also captures human body, face, motor vehicle and non-motor vehicle attributes for faster searches, plus people counting and crowd density monitoring.
Can I record on the camera and talk to people on site?
Yes to both. The microSD slot takes cards up to 512 GB for edge recording or NVR backup, and two-way audio is supported with G.711U/G.711A at 128 Kbps and a 16 kHz sampling rate, with noise suppression — connect audio in/out to challenge intruders or assist visitors.
What power and frame rate does the IPC3234EA deliver?
It is powered over PoE+, so one cable handles power and data from a PoE+ switch port. The main stream delivers 4 MP (2688×1520) at up to 60 fps — double the usual 30 fps, useful for fast-moving vehicles — with triple streams and a bit rate of 128 Kbps to 16 Mbps.
Is it protected for outdoor and high-risk locations?
Yes — the body is rated IP67 against dust and water and IK10 against impact, suited to gates, fuel stations and street poles. Smart Intrusion Prevention adds cross-line, intrusion, and enter/leave-area detection with false alarm filtering, plus object removed, object left behind and scene change alerts.
