Uniview 5MP HD IR Fixed Eyeball Network Camera (IPC3615LE-ADF28K-G)

The Uniview IPC3615LE-ADF28K-G is a 5-megapixel (5MP) fixed-lens “Eyeball” or “Turret” style IP network camera. It’s part of Uniview’s EasyStar series, known for its strong performance in low-light conditions and excellent value for entry-level surveillance applications. The “-ADF28K-G” in the model number indicates its specific features, including the lens type and technology.

Key Features and Specifications:

5 Megapixel Resolution: Captures high-quality video at a maximum resolution of 2880 x 1620 (5MP), providing crisp and detailed images for effective surveillance.
EasyStar Technology: This is a key highlight. Uniview’s EasyStar technology enables the camera to deliver excellent color images in extremely low light conditions (as low as 0.003 Lux in color with F1.6 aperture). This means it can often produce color video at night where standard cameras would switch to black and white, offering better contextual information.
Fixed 2.8mm Lens: Provides a wide field of view, typically around 112.9° horizontally, making it suitable for covering broad areas such as rooms, entrances, or outdoor perimeters.
Infrared (IR) Illumination: Equipped with Smart IR LEDs, providing clear black-and-white night vision up to 30 meters (98 feet) in complete darkness (0 Lux). Smart IR dynamically adjusts the intensity of the infrared light to prevent overexposure of objects closer to the camera.
Built-in Microphone: Features an integrated microphone for audio monitoring, allowing you to capture sound along with video. This can be crucial for recording conversations or identifying unusual noises.
Efficient Video Compression: Supports Ultra 265, H.265, H.264, and MJPEG compression formats. Ultra 265 is Uniview’s proprietary technology that drastically reduces bandwidth and storage requirements, saving on storage costs and network load without compromising video quality.
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR): Features 120dB True WDR, which helps the camera capture clear images in scenes with both very bright and very dark areas (e.g., a brightly lit doorway leading to a dark room).
IP67 Weatherproof Rating: Designed for both indoor and outdoor use, the camera has an IP67 rating, making it highly resistant to dust and water ingress.
Power over Ethernet (PoE): Supports PoE (IEEE 802.3af), allowing power and data to be transmitted over a single Ethernet cable, simplifying installation and reducing wiring complexity. It can also be powered by a 12V DC adapter.
Edge Storage: Includes a Micro SD card slot that supports cards up to 256GB for local video storage, providing a backup in case of network outages (ANR – Automatic Network Replenishment).
Corridor Mode (9:16 Format): Optimizes the video stream for vertically oriented scenes like hallways or corridors, maximizing coverage efficiency.
3-Axis Adjustment: Offers flexible installation options with 3-axis (Pan: 0° ~ 360°, Tilt: 0° ~ 80°, Rotate: 0° ~ 360°) adjustment capabilities, allowing for precise aiming and coverage.
Smart Functions: Includes basic detection features like:
- Motion Detection (with human/vehicle detection for reduced false alarms)
- 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) for PC, 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 IPC3615LE-ADF28K-G is a strong choice for users seeking a high-resolution, low-light capable IP camera with basic intelligent features and robust outdoor durability, all within a cost-effective package.
