IPC3238EA-AHDX4K(ZK)-I1

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).

CHOOSE YOUR ZOOM RANGE — TWO MODELS ON THIS PAGE
Both ZK and X4K are motorized 4X zoom lenses adjustable on site after installation — they cover different ranges, not a single continuous zoom. ZK (2.8–12 mm) suits wide rooms, entrances and shop floors. X4K (8–32 mm) trades width for reach — parking lanes, gates and long fence lines. Highlighted rows in the spec table below show every difference, including a slightly narrower exception-detection list on X4K.
In-stock models: 3 days to your designated warehouse after payment · Out-of-stock or insufficient stock: 7–15 working days

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.

Is this the right camera for you?

Plain-language guide for buyers and installers — based only on what this camera actually does.

Retail & storefrontsLightHunter and up to 140dB WDR keep detail against window backlight and glare. ZK's wider view covers a whole shop floor from one dome mount.
Building entrances & lobbiesFace recognition comparison against up to 16 face libraries (100,000 faces) flags known or unknown visitors at the door.
Parking lots & vehicle lanesMotor vehicle attribute capture plus X4K's 8–32mm reach cover gates and lanes at distance in clear detail.
Perimeters & fence linesSmart intrusion prevention (cross line, intrusion, enter/leave area with human/vehicle classification), IP67+IK10 rugged body, −40 to 60 °C.
Malls, stations & high-traffic areasPeople counting supports both people-flow counting and crowd density monitoring for occupancy management.
Warehouses & control roomsBuilt-in mic and speaker support two-way audio challenge; MicroSD edge storage to 512 GB backs up recordings if the network drops.
Not the right pick if you need…
  • Wi-Fi — this is a wired RJ45 camera
  • Full-color night vision — this is IR-only, night video is black & white, not color
  • Standard 802.3af PoE power — this model needs PoE+ (802.3at, up to 19 W) or DC 12 V; a plain 802.3af injector may not supply enough power
  • One camera covering both close-wide and far-tele in a single continuous zoom — pick ZK (2.8–12mm) or X4K (8–32mm) at purchase; each is still adjustable on site, but only within its own range

Worried about counterfeits? Order under your own company name.

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.

Night Vision: Smart Infrared

Same IR illuminator on both zoom models — switchable Auto/Manual.

IR MODE

Invisible infrared — discreet black & white night vision

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.

How far can it see? (DORI)

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.
