IP67·IK10Wide-temp outdoor housing

The IPC6824EL-X42-W-VH1 is a 4MP network PTZ camera (2688×1520 @60fps) built around a 1/1.8" CMOS sensor and a 6.0–252 mm, 42× optical zoom lens (16× digital), giving a horizontal field of view from 59.47° down to 2.20°. An 850nm laser illuminator reaches up to 500 m — with range scaling to the current zoom level — while LightHunter low-light processing keeps color visible at 0.0003 Lux. Auto tracking classifies human, vehicle and non-motor-vehicle targets with handover across smart intrusion detection (cross line / intrusion / enter area / leave area), and people-flow counting with crowd density detection runs alongside it. Gyroscope-based EIS keeps the long zoom steady, a wiper clears the front window, and the IP67 / IK10 housing runs from -40 °C to 70 °C on AC 24 V, DC 24 V or PoE (IEEE 802.3bt).

Is this the right camera for you?

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

Open perimeters & long approaches42× optical zoom plus an 850nm laser illuminator reaching 500 m at full telephoto — the DORI Identify distance runs up to about 333 m, useful for border fences, large yards or airport approach roads.

Roads & mixed trafficAuto tracking classifies human, vehicle and non-motor-vehicle targets; smart intrusion prevention (cross line, area entry/exit) filters false alarms by the same classification.

Low-light & night sitesLightHunter processing holds color down to 0.0003 Lux (F1.2, AGC on); when it gets fully dark, the 850nm laser illuminator brings the scene to 0 Lux equivalent instead of switching to grainy IR-only video.

Harsh weather & exposed polesA wiper keeps the front window clear in rain and dust, gyroscope EIS steadies the image at full 42× zoom on a swaying pole, and the IP67/IK10 housing runs -40 °C to 70 °C with a built-in heater.

Plazas & entry pointsPeople-flow counting and crowd-density detection run alongside pan/tilt patrol, useful for gate counts or crowd-load monitoring at entrances, stadiums or transit hubs.

Flexible power sitesPowered by AC 24 V, DC 24 V or PoE (IEEE 802.3bt), so the same unit fits a site with an existing PoE switch or one wired for AC/DC power — max. consumption 67 W.

Not the right pick if you need…

Not a panoramic-linkage camera — this is a classic single-sensor 42× PTZ. If you need a fixed 360° overview channel plus a zoomed detail channel in one housing, look at a panoramic-linkage model instead.
The 500 m laser figure is the maximum at full telephoto — laser reach is proportional to optical zoom, so it is noticeably shorter at wide-angle settings.
Audio I/O is 1 input / 1 output only, with no built-in speaker or microphone listed on the datasheet — plan an external mic/speaker if two-way audio is required at the pole.
6.9 kg and Ø226.7 mm: this dome needs the dedicated Uniview bracket family (pole / wall / ceiling / corner / gooseneck) and a rigid mounting point, not a lightweight universal arm.

4MP 42x Laser PTZ Camera FAQ — IPC6824EL-X42-W-VH1

How far can the IPC6824EL-X42-W-VH1 see at night?

Per the product data the laser IR reaches 500 m at 850 nm, and the LightHunter 1/1.8-inch sensor works down to 0.0003 lux in color (F1.2, AGC on), 0 lux with IR. That combination covers fence lines and approach roads that have no lighting at all.

What detection range does the 42x zoom give?

The 6–252 mm lens gives 42x optical plus 16x digital zoom. DORI figures at full telephoto: detect 3330.6 m, observe 1332.2 m, recognize 666.1 m and identify 333.1 m. At the wide end the 59.47° horizontal field of view keeps the whole perimeter in frame.

Can it track intruders on its own?

Yes. Auto tracking filters targets by human, vehicle and non-motor vehicle, and multi-target detection is supported. Smart intrusion prevention runs cross-line, intrusion and enter/leave-area rules with false alarm filtering, plus people flow counting and crowd density detection for busier sites.

How does it stay clear in rain, dust and wind?

A built-in wiper clears the front glass, and per the product data the housing is IP67/IK10 rated for -40 to 70 °C service. Gyroscope EIS damps pole sway at long zoom, while both optical and digital defog cut through haze and dust.

What frame rate does it record for fast-moving targets?

The main stream runs 4MP (2688x1520) at up to 60 fps, with 1080p sub and D1 third streams also at 60 fps. Bit rate spans 128 Kbps to 16 Mbps with Ultra 265 and U-code compression, so highway or gate traffic stays sharp without flooding the network.
