Uniview IPC815SB-ADF14K-I0 5MP Fisheye Camera with Two-Way Audio

The Uniview IPC815SB-ADF14K-I0 is a slim 5MP fisheye with a 1.4 mm lens covering 180° horizontally and vertically, so one ceiling unit shows an entire room. Dual microphones, two-way audio and alarm I/O make it a good fit for shops, pharmacies and open-plan offices.

====

The Uniview IPC815SB-ADF14K-I0 goes in the middle of a ceiling and captures the entire room, 180° horizontally and vertically, at 5MP through a 1.4 mm lens. Instead of four cameras in four corners, one unit can cover a grocery store, a pharmacy or an open-plan office, and your viewing software splits its image into separate windows for each corner.

Why pick the IPC815SB-ADF14K-I0

It is a flat fisheye only 43.7 mm thick and 125 mm across, so it sits almost flush with the ceiling. The metal and plastic housing is IK10 rated against impact.

• 1/2.8" 5MP sensor, main stream 2592×1944 at 30 fps.
• 120 dB WDR and color imaging down to 0.01 lux.
• IR night vision up to 10 m, enough for typical ceiling heights and room sizes.
• IP66 rating for covered outdoor areas and semi-open walkways.

One image, many ways to view it

The raw image is a circle, and the viewing software flattens it depending on how the camera is mounted. Ceiling or table mounting gives you a full fisheye view, a 360° panorama, a 180° panorama, fisheye plus 3, 4 or 8 virtual PTZ windows, or a 360° panorama plus 6 windows. Wall mounting offers a 180° panorama with up to 8 windows.

Note that dewarping on this model happens in the client software (software decoding), not inside the camera.

Two-way audio and alerts

Two built-in microphones pick up sound from every direction, and the audio input and output let you add an external speaker so you can talk to staff or customers from your phone. One alarm input and one alarm output connect a door contact or a siren.

The camera detects motion, tampering and sound, and it supports heat maps when paired with Uniview's management platform, showing which shelves draw the most attention.

Power, storage and integration

Power comes from 802.3af PoE or a 12 V DC supply, with an 8.5 W maximum draw. It has a 10/100 network port, a microSD slot up to 512 GB and ANR to backfill recordings after a network drop. ONVIF Profiles S, G, T and M are supported.

Typical Saudi installations

• Grocery stores and pharmacies: one ceiling unit watches the counter and every aisle.
• Open-plan offices and call centers: full floor coverage with no blind spots.
• Clinic waiting rooms: see and hear what happens in the room.
• Hotel and residential building lobbies: mounted in the center of the ceiling above the entrance.

IPC815SB-ADF14K-I0 or IPC86CEB-AF18KC-I0?

The IPC86CEB-AF18KC-I0 is a larger 12MP fisheye with a 1/1.7" sensor, 15 m IR, IP67, a built-in speaker, two alarm inputs, RS485, BNC video out, line crossing and intrusion detection, and in-camera hardware decoding. Pick the IPC815SB-ADF14K-I0 for small and medium shops and offices: it is slimmer (43.7 mm vs 55 mm) and draws less power (8.5 W vs 12 W). Go with the 12MP model for large halls where edge detail matters.

Installation tips

Mount it dead center on the ceiling so the image is evenly spread, and set the mounting mode (ceiling, wall or table) in the settings so the correct view options appear.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many fisheye cameras does a medium shop need?

Usually one IPC815SB-ADF14K-I0 in the middle of the ceiling covers an open room, since it sees 180° both ways. Its identify distance is 3.2 m, so add a standard camera at the till or door if you need face detail.

Does the camera dewarp the image itself?

No. Dewarping is done by the viewing software, where you choose 360° or 180° panorama or virtual PTZ windows.

Can I talk through the camera?

Yes. It supports two-way audio with dual built-in mics; connect an external speaker to the audio output, as there is no built-in speaker.
