Uniview UAC-T125-AF28LM 5MP LightHunter Analog Turret, 40 m IR

The Uniview UAC-T125-AF28LM is a Whale Series LightHunter turret: 5MP, 0.005 lux sensitivity and two IR LEDs reaching 40 m. It suits warehouses, schools and car parks that need longer night range than an entry-level analog camera offers.

====

The Uniview UAC-T125-AF28LM is aimed at sites where the night is long and the distances are bigger than a small doorway. It is a 5MP turret from Uniview's Whale Series with LightHunter low-light technology and two infrared LEDs that reach 40 m. If your current cameras only see half of a warehouse yard after dark, this model is built to cover the rest.

Why the Uniview UAC-T125-AF28LM

Range is the first difference: 40 m from two LEDs, versus 20 m from one LED on the entry-level UAC-T115-AF28. Sensitivity is the second: LightHunter and an F1.6 lens let the camera produce an image at 0.005 lux, very dim light, before infrared is even needed.

• Resolution: 5MP at 25 fps in CVI, 20 fps in TVI and AHD.
• Sensor: 1/2.7-inch CMOS.
• Lens: 2.8 mm, 109.1° horizontal and 126.7° diagonal.
• LED lifetime: 60,000 hours or more.

A tougher housing for outdoor sites

The body combines graphene, metal and plastic, weighs 334 g and measures 111 mm across by 98 mm high, noticeably heavier and sturdier than all-plastic entry models. It is IP67 rated, runs from -30°C to 60°C at up to 95% humidity, and both power and video ports have 4 kV surge protection. In a Saudi summer, that tolerance matters on sun-baked walls and rooftops.

Video and audio over coax

A single BNC connector outputs TVI, AHD, CVI or CVBS, so the camera works with most DVRs and XVRs. The built-in mic carries audio on the same cable in TVI and CVI modes. Power is 12 V DC with a maximum draw of 3.4 W, so even a multi-camera install does not call for oversized power supplies.

Use cases in Saudi Arabia

• Warehouse yards in Dammam and Riyadh: 40 m of night vision from a single camera.
• School corridors and courtyards: cover a long corridor end to end.
• Small compound and apartment car parks: the 109° view spans a full row of cars.
• Farms and istirahas: watch gates and yards far from street lighting.

Settings and compatibility

Exposure modes include BLC, HLC and DWDR, with 2D noise reduction and 180° horizontal or vertical flip, all set from an 11-language OSD menu. For full quality, pair it with a Uniview recorder such as the XVR301-04Q3, which takes 5MP at 20 fps on AHD and 25 fps on CVI. Wall, pole, corner and pendant mounting are possible with Uniview accessories such as the TR-JB03-G-IN junction box.

UAC-T125-AF28LM or UAC-T128-ADF28MS?

Both sit in the same series, share a near-identical 111×98 mm body and the same 40 m IR range. The UAC-T128-ADF28MS steps up to 8MP (4K at 15 fps), adds 120 dB true WDR and 3D noise reduction, and uses an all-metal 417 g housing drawing 4.8 W. Choose the UAC-T125-AF28LM when your recorder tops out at 5MP; choose the T128 for finer detail on an 8MP-capable recorder.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far can the UAC-T125-AF28LM see at night?

Up to 40 m using two IR LEDs, with black-and-white night video.

What does LightHunter mean on this camera?

It is Uniview's low-light technology; here it shows up as 0.005 lux sensitivity with an F1.6 lens for clearer images before IR turns on.

Will it work with a standard 5MP DVR?

Yes. Its maximum resolution is 5MP and it outputs TVI, AHD, CVI and CVBS, so any DVR or XVR that accepts 5MP on one of those formats will work.
