IPC98344ER-GX42-E8-W-VH3
One unit watches everything and zooms into anything: an 8-sensor 32MP panorama covers 360° with no blind spot, while the 42× detail PTZ automatically locks onto and tracks people and vehicles — day, night, rain or heat shimmer.

The IPC98344ER-GX42-E8-W-VH3 is a panoramic-linkage PTZ camera combining an 8-sensor stitched 32MP panorama channel (11520×2700 @30fps, 360° horizontal, 110° vertical) with a 4MP 42× optical-zoom detail channel (2688×1520 @60fps) in one housing with single-IP dual-stream output. Select a target in the panoramic view and the detail channel links, zooms and auto-tracks it — with handover tracking, classification filtering (person / motor / non-motor), face detection with up to 16 databases and 100,000 faces, and people counting. A ±0.04° high-precision encoder, gyroscopic stabilization, heat-haze reduction, wiper, IR 500 m, optical + digital dehazing, and an IP67 / IK10 housing rated -40 °C to 70 °C complete the package.
Is this the right camera for you?
Plain-language guide for buyers and installers — based only on what this camera actually does.
- No PoE on this class of machine — it needs a dedicated DC 24 V or DC 36 V supply (max. 124 W). Plan power cabling and a suitable outdoor PSU at the pole before ordering.
- 13.5 kg and Φ380 mm: this is a heavy-duty unit that needs the dedicated Tiangong brackets (pole / pendant / wall) and a rigid pole — not a light camera arm.
- The panorama channel has no WDR and no zoom — harsh backlight scenes and distant detail are the detail channel's job. If all you need is simple zoom patrol, a classic single-lens PTZ costs far less.
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.
Using your own freight forwarder? No problem.
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.

How far can it see? (DORI — Optical Channel)
DORI (EN 62676-4) is the industry standard for what a camera can do at distance. Panorama bars show the fixed 360° channel; Detail bars show the 42× channel at full telephoto.
How wide a view at each distance
Scene width covered at typical mounting distances — the number you need to work out how many cameras a wall, yard or aisle takes.
| Distance | MAL · 59.5° | 2.2° |
|---|---|---|
| 5 m16 ft | 5.7 m18.7 ft | 0.2 m0.6 ft |
| 10 m33 ft | 11.4 m37.5 ft | 0.4 m1.3 ft |

| 20 m66 ft | 22.8 m75.0 ft | 0.8 m2.5 ft |
| 30 m98 ft | 34.3 m112 ft | 1.2 m3.8 ft |
Calculated from the horizontal field of view in the specifications below: width = 2 × distance × tan(FOV ÷ 2). Lens distortion and mounting angle are not included.
