4MP 42X LightHunter Laser Wiper Network PTZ Camera

IPC6824EL-X42-W-VH1

Name: IPC6824EL-X42-W-VH1
Brand: Uniview

A classic laser PTZ dome camera: 4MP resolution with 42× optical zoom, an 850nm laser illuminator reaching 500 m, and LightHunter low-light processing that keeps color images usable long after dusk.

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.

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.
