IPC98246EFW-X42-W-VH1

Three lenses, two channels, one IP: a pair of spliced lenses outputs a single 200° panorama while the 42× detail channel tracks whatever the panorama detects — drag on the wide view and the zoom lens centers there instantly.

The IPC98246EFW-X42-W-VH1 is a panoramic linkage PTZ camera with a three-lens, dual-channel design: two lenses are stitched into one 6MP 200°×78° panorama (3680 × 1656 @30 fps), while a third 42× lens (6–252 mm) delivers 4MP close-up detail. When the panorama channel detects intrusion, line crossing or area entry/exit, the detail channel automatically tracks the target and captures snapshots — and drag-to-zoom lets an operator magnify any spot of the panorama in the detail view. Both channels use 1/1.8" Wise-ISP sensors rated to 0.0005 lux, backed by 30 m warm light on the panorama and 350 m vari-focal laser IR on the detail side, in an IP67/IK10 housing rated -40 to 70 °C.

Is this the right camera for you?

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

City squares & transit hubsOne pole covers a 200° sweep of the plaza while the 42× channel pulls close-ups at distance. After hours, panoramic linkage tracks intruders automatically on intrusion, cross-line and enter/leave-area events.
Stadiums & event crowdsPeople flow counting and crowd density detection run right on the panorama channel; at the gates, the detail channel classifies and snapshots motor vehicles, non-motor vehicles and pedestrians.
Ports & logistics yardsThe 350 m laser IR on the detail channel patrols container rows at night — 1024 presets and 16 patrol routes with recording — while the 200° panorama keeps the whole apron in one frame.
Riverbanks & reservoir damsIP67 sealing, -40 to 70 °C rating, snow removal mode and optical defog keep both channels usable in fog, frost and spray; 6 KV surge protection suits exposed pole mounts far from the equipment room.
Ring roads & interchangesAdaptive highlight compensation tames headlight glare at night; multi-target detection extracts metadata of motor vehicles, non-motor vehicles, faces and bodies while the panorama watches every approach lane at once.
Control-room investigationDrag a box on the 200° panorama and the 42× lens centers there instantly (drag-to-zoom); 3D positioning, 35 concurrent streams and 50 Mbps of bandwidth serve several operators at the same time.
Not the right pick if you need…
  • Max. 74 W: PoE needs an IEEE 802.3bt (Hi-PoE) port or a 24 V AC/DC feed — a standard 802.3af/at switch port will not power this camera.
  • The panorama is fixed at 200° with motorized 0–30° vertical adjustment only — if you need a full 360° stitched panorama, the 16MP IPC96342 flagship is the right pick.
  • The detail channel tops out at 4MP / 42× (DORI Identify 333 m at telephoto) — for ultra-long-range work with a 32MP panorama and 500 m IR, see the IPC98344.
  • 8.4 kg dome body: mount it on the dome-series brackets from the accessory list (wall / pole / corner / gooseneck) — light-duty camera brackets are not rated for this weight.
  • No built-in microphone — two-way audio works through the external audio input (1 kΩ); a speaker is built in, the mic is not.

Key Features

Complete list from the official datasheet.

Three-lens design: two lenses splice into one seamless 200° (H) × 78° (V) panorama — 260° diagonal — while the third lens zooms 42×
Panoramic linkage: intrusion, cross-line and enter/leave-area events on the panorama automatically trigger detail-channel tracking and snapshots
Drag-to-zoom: drag on the panoramic image and the detail channel centers on that area at once
Wise-ISP low-light processing on both 1/1.8" sensors: 0.0005 lux in color, 0 lux with IR, 120 dB WDR
Full-spectrum illumination: 30 m warm light for the panorama, 350 m vari-focal laser IR for the detail channel
Deep-learning VCA: smart intrusion prevention and people flow counting on the panorama; SIP, people counting, multi-target detection and auto tracking on the detail channel
Metadata extraction for motor vehicles, non-motor vehicles, faces and human bodies — attributes collected at capture time
Hard-scene toolkit: optical defog and heatwave reduction on the detail lens, adaptive highlight compensation for night traffic, motorized 0–30° panorama tilt

One Body: 200° Panorama + 42× Detail

Both channels stream simultaneously from a single IP address.

PANORAMA

Two spliced lenses output one 6MP 200° image with 30 m warm light — smart intrusion prevention and people counting run on the wide view, with motorized 0–30° vertical trim

DETAIL CHANNEL

42× zoom with full 360° pan at up to 180°/s, 350 m vari-focal laser IR, auto tracking with human/vehicle filtering, manual wiper and optical defog — the chase camera of the pair

How far can it see? (DORI — Optical Channel)

DORI (EN 62676-4) is the industry yardstick for what a camera can resolve at distance. The Panorama column is the fixed 2.2 mm 200° stitched view; the Detail column shows the 42× channel at full telephoto — its wide-end figures (Detect from 107.2 m) are kept in the spec table below.
