8MP motorized-zoom (4X) LightHunter WDR network dome camera — up to 140dB optical WDR, PoE+/DC12V power, built-in mic & speaker, IP67 outdoor + IK10 vandal-resistant body. Two zoom-range models: 2.8–12mm (ZK) or 8–32mm (X4K).
Sample quantities are welcome — testing one or two units first is the normal way to start.
The Uniview IPC3238EA-AHDX4K(ZK)-I1 is an 8MP LightHunter WDR network dome camera built around a motorized 4X zoom lens, sold as two models: 2.8–12 mm (ZK) for wider-area coverage, or 8–32 mm (X4K) for longer-range detail. LightHunter low-light imaging and up to 140 dB optical WDR keep detail in dark and high-contrast scenes, backed by Smart IR to 40 m, a built-in mic and speaker, and MicroSD edge storage up to 512 GB. It powers over PoE+ (802.3at) or DC 12 V, and carries an IP67 + IK10 outdoor/vandal-resistant body rated −40 °C to 60 °C.
Plain-language guide for buyers and installers — based only on what this camera actually does.
For corporate buyers: we support submitting the purchase order to Uniview under your company's real name — your company appears on the official order, so the origin of the goods can be verified directly with the manufacturer. Just provide your company name and pay by corporate bank transfer. Models carrying the anti-counterfeit label can also be self-verified on Uniview's official Anti-Counterfeiting Query page — enter the unit's SN plus the scratch-off code.
For small and mid-size orders, we deliver directly to your designated forwarder's warehouse in China (EXW / FOB Guangzhou). From hand-over onward, international shipping and destination-side arrangements are handled by your forwarder — the way you already work.
Complete list from the official datasheet.
Same IR illuminator on both zoom models — switchable Auto/Manual.
Smart IR up to 40 m (131.2 ft.) at 850 nm, Auto/Manual control. The camera watches without lighting up the scene. This model has a single IR illuminator only, no warm-light module, and the illumination distance is the same on both ZK and X4K.
DORI (EN 62676-4) is the industry standard for what a camera can do at distance. Both models are motorized zoom lenses, so each capability spans a range from the widest zoom setting to full telephoto — switch the model buttons above to compare ZK and X4K.
