TIC3612SA-F2-4F3AC-I1

Thermal & optical bi-spectrum network dome camera — dual video (thermal + 4MP colour) over a single IP address. Radiometric temperature reading, fire alarm and smart intrusion prevention on both channels. Three thermal lens options: 2.1mm (F2), 3.0mm (F3), 7.0mm (F7).

CHOOSE YOUR THERMAL LENS — THREE MODELS ON THIS PAGE
Same dome body and electronics — only the thermal lens (and its paired optical lens) changes. F2 (2.1mm) covers the widest area up close: doorways, small yards. F3 (3.0mm) is the balanced middle choice for most perimeters. F7 (7.0mm) trades field of view for reach — long fence lines and open yards. Highlighted rows and badges below show every difference between the three.

The Uniview TIC3612SA is a thermal & optical bi-spectrum dome camera built around a 1/2.8" colour sensor paired with an uncooled 256×192 vanadium-oxide thermal core, streaming both channels from one IP address. The thermal channel reads absolute temperature (±8°C or ±8% accuracy) for fire and hot-spot alarms even in total darkness, smoke or glare, while the optical channel delivers 4MP colour video with smog recognition to confirm what the thermal channel sees. This page covers three lens options that share the same body: F2 (2.1mm thermal), F3 (3.0mm) and F7 (7.0mm) — pick the shortest for wide near-field coverage or the longest for long perimeter reach.

Is this the right camera for you?

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

Warehouses & fire-risk sitesThe thermal channel spots hot spots and flags a fire alarm before smoke is visible to the eye — the optical channel's smog recognition reconfirms it.
Fence lines & open perimetersThermal detection works in total darkness with no illuminator needed. Pick F7 for the longest reach along a straight fence line.
Substations & equipment yardsRadiometric readout (±8°C or ±8%) tracks equipment temperature continuously and alarms on abnormal hot or cold spots automatically.
Ports, yards & logistics areasSmart intrusion prevention classifies people and vehicles on both channels at once, cutting false alarms from stray animals or moving shadows.
Smoke-obscured or glare conditionsWhen smoke, fog or backlight blind a normal lens, the thermal channel keeps working because it senses heat, not visible light.
Unmanned low-light sitesBuilt-in mic and speaker allow live two-way talk-down over the same PoE cable that already carries power and video.
Not the right pick if you need…
  • Motorized PTZ / zoom — this is a fixed-lens turret; pick your thermal focal length (F2/F3/F7) at purchase
  • Wi-Fi — this is a wired RJ45 camera
  • 8MP/4K optical video — the optical channel tops out at 4MP (2688×1520)
  • Battery or solar operation — needs PoE (802.3af) or DC12V wired power
  • Coverage well beyond ~140 m — step up to a longer thermal lens or a PTZ thermal camera instead

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.

Two channels, one camera

Thermal and optical run at the same time, from the same IP address — numbers below follow the lens selected above.

THERMAL CHANNEL

Radiometric temperature reading, day or night

256×192 vanadium-oxide sensor (NETD <50mK) reads absolute temperature at ±8°C or ±8% accuracy across two selectable ranges (-20 to 150°C / 100 to 550°C), tracking hot & cold spots automatically. At this lens, it flags a person at 21 m and a vehicle at 42 m; a 0.1×0.1 m fire or hot-spot event is caught at 9 m / 3.5 m.

OPTICAL CHANNEL

4MP full-colour video with smog recognition

1/2.8" CMOS records true-colour 2688×1520 video at up to 30fps with 120dB WDR, and its smog recognition helps reconfirm a thermal fire alert. Picture-in-picture overlays both views on one live feed. At this lens, optical DORI identify range is 5.9 m (19.2 ft.), recognize 11.7 m (38.4 ft.).

How far can the optical channel see? (DORI)

DORI (EN 62676-4) is the industry standard for what a camera can do at distance — these figures are for the optical (visible-light) channel only; the thermal channel's detection range is shown in the next section. Switch the lens buttons above to compare.

Thermal detection & recognition range (Johnson's Criteria)

Theoretical maximum ranges for the thermal channel, calculated per Johnson's Criteria for a 4.0×1.4 m vehicle and a 1.8×0.5 m person — one row per lens on this page. Real-world smart-alarm trigger distances are the smaller, conservative figures shown in the stat bar and channel cards above.
