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.
Sample quantities are welcome — testing one or two units first is the normal way to start.
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.
Plain-language guide for buyers and installers — based only on what this camera actually does.
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.
For small and mid-size orders, we deliver directly to your designated forwarder's warehouse in China (EXW / FOB Guangzhou). From hand-over onward, international shipping and destination-side arrangements are handled by your forwarder — the way you already work.

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.
