Uniview 5MP HD Mini IR Fixed Bullet Network Camera (IPC2125LE-ADF28KM-G)

The Uniview IPC2125LE-ADF28KM-G is a 5-megapixel (5MP) fixed-lens “Mini Bullet” style IP network camera. It belongs to Uniview’s EasyStar series, which is specifically designed to deliver high-quality, clear images even in extremely low-light conditions, making it a robust and cost-effective solution for various outdoor and indoor surveillance needs.

Key Features and Specifications:

5 Megapixel High Resolution: Equipped with a 1/2.7″ progressive scan CMOS sensor, this camera captures highly detailed 5MP (2880 x 1620) video at up to 25/20 frames per second. It can also support lower resolutions like 4MP (25/20fps), 3MP (30/25fps), and 1080P (30/25fps) for broader compatibility.
EasyStar Technology for Low-Light Performance: This is a standout feature. EasyStar technology enables the camera to produce excellent color images in very low illumination environments (as low as 0.003 lux at F1.6). This means it can often maintain color video at night or in dimly lit areas where conventional cameras would switch to black and white, providing more visual information.
Fixed 2.8mm Lens: Offers a wide horizontal field of view of approximately 112.9°, making it ideal for comprehensive coverage of areas like building exteriors, parking lots, hallways, or large rooms.
Smart IR Illumination: Features powerful built-in Smart IR LEDs that provide clear black-and-white night vision up to 50 meters (164 feet) in complete darkness (0 Lux). Smart IR automatically adjusts the intensity of the infrared light to prevent overexposure of objects closer to the camera.
Built-in Microphone: Includes an integrated microphone, allowing for audio monitoring alongside video. This provides additional context and can be vital for incident review.
Efficient Video Compression: Supports Uniview’s advanced Ultra 265 compression, along with H.265, H.264, and MJPEG. Ultra 265 is a deep compression technology that significantly reduces bandwidth and storage requirements (up to 95% savings compared to H.264) without sacrificing image quality, leading to lower operating costs.
True Wide Dynamic Range (WDR): Features 120dB True WDR, which ensures clear image capture in challenging lighting conditions where both very bright and very dark areas exist simultaneously (e.g., strong backlight from a window or doorway).
IP67 Weatherproof Rating: Designed for robust outdoor and indoor use, the camera is IP67-rated, providing full protection against dust and water immersion.
Power over Ethernet (PoE): Supports PoE (IEEE 802.3af), allowing power and data to be transmitted over a single Ethernet cable, which simplifies installation and reduces cabling costs. It also supports DC 12V power input.
Edge Storage: Features a Micro SD card slot that supports cards up to 256GB for local video storage. This provides a valuable backup in case of network outages (ANR – Automatic Network Replenishment).
Corridor Mode (9:16 Format): Optimizes the video stream for vertically oriented scenes (e.g., long hallways, aisles), maximizing usable resolution and reducing wasted bandwidth.
3-Axis Adjustment: Offers flexible installation with 3-axis (Pan: 0° ~ 360°, Tilt: 0° ~ 90°, Rotate: 0° ~ 360°) adjustment capabilities for precise aiming.
Basic Intelligent Functions: Includes smart detection features to enhance surveillance efficiency:
- Motion Detection (including Ultra Motion Detection – UMD, which uses AI to filter false alarms caused by environmental factors, focusing on human and vehicle movement)
- Intrusion Detection (based on human body detection)
- Cross Line Detection (based on human body detection)
- Audio Detection
- Tampering Alarm
Remote Access: Accessible via web browsers, Uniview’s EZStation VMS (Video Management Software), and mobile apps like EZView/UNV-Link, providing convenient remote viewing and management.
ONVIF Compliance: Supports ONVIF (Profile S, G, T) for broad compatibility with other ONVIF-compliant NVRs and VMS platforms.

The Uniview IPC2125LE-ADF28KM-G is an excellent choice for those seeking a high-resolution IP bullet camera with superior low-light capabilities, efficient video compression, integrated audio, and robust outdoor durability, all at a competitive price point.
