Name: IPC6828EL-X42-W-VH1
Brand: Uniview

A classic 8MP PTZ dome camera built for long-range patrol: 42× optical zoom (6.0-252mm) reaches deep into the scene, LightHunter low-light technology keeps color detail after dark, and auto tracking locks onto people and vehicles automatically — with a wiper and -40 to 70 °C housing for outdoor poles.

Is this the right camera for you?

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

Perimeter & long-range patrol42× optical zoom (6.0-252mm) reaches deep into a plant boundary or highway shoulder; smart intrusion prevention covers cross-line, intrusion, area-enter and area-leave detection with human/vehicle classification filtering to cut false alarms.

Auto-tracking on people & vehiclesAuto tracking classifies and follows human, non-motor and motor-vehicle targets automatically, so one operator doesn't need to manually pan-tilt-zoom to keep a moving target in frame.

Low-light & night operationLightHunter imaging keeps color detail down to 0.0005 Lux; once it's fully dark, 850 nm IR reaches 500 m so the zoom lens still has something to work with at range.

People counting & crowd densityBuilt-in people-flow counting and crowd-density monitoring run alongside the patrol/tracking functions — useful at gates, entrances or transit points without a separate analytics camera.

Rain, snow & dusty polesA wiper keeps the lens window clear in rain, and gyroscope stabilization (EIS) steadies the long-zoom image on a pole that sways in the wind — both useful where the camera can't be cleaned often.

Harsh outdoor & wide-temperature sitesIP67 sealing, a built-in heater and -40 °C to 70 °C operation cover cold-winter or hot-summer poles; 6 kV surge protection guards against lightning-prone lines.

Not the right pick if you need…

No PoE listed on the datasheet — power is AC 24 V±25%, DC 24 V±25% or PoE (IEEE 802.3bt). If you plan a PoE-only run, confirm 802.3bt (PoE++) switch/injector support and max. 67 W budget before ordering.
6.9 kg, Ø226.7 mm × 440.3 mm: this is a full-size PTZ dome, not a light mini-PTZ — plan a mounting bracket and pole rated for the weight (bracket options listed below).
The datasheet lists IR illumination only (850 nm, 500 m) — no separate laser or warm-light distance figure is given, despite the product name. If a confirmed laser-illuminator distance is required for your spec sheet, check with us before quoting.

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.
