Uniview IPC6858ER-X40-VF 8MP PTZ Dome Camera, 40x Zoom, 250 m IR

The Uniview IPC6858ER-X40-VF is a Pro Series 8MP PTZ dome with 40x optical zoom, 250 m smart IR and 7 alarm inputs. It suits logistics hubs, large car parks and stadiums that need more reach than the Prime models.

====

The Uniview IPC6858ER-X40-VF is a Pro Series PTZ dome that pairs 8MP resolution with 40x optical zoom and smart IR out to 250 m. Its 5.7-228 mm lens starts at roughly 58° horizontal to take in a full yard, then narrows to about 2° to bring a distant target close. It is aimed at sites that need wide coverage and more reach than the Prime models, and some price lists call it UNV IPC6858ER-X40-VF.

Uniview IPC6858ER-X40-VF main specifications

• 1/1.8" sensor, 3840 × 2160 at 30 fps.
• 40x optical and 16x digital zoom.
• Smart IR up to 250 m at 850 nm.
• Color video at 0.003 lux with LightHunter.
• Optical and digital defog, built-in heater.
• 7 alarm inputs and 2 outputs.
• IP66 housing, 6 kV surge protection.

What 40x means in practice

Optical zoom moves the lens instead of enlarging pixels, so you keep the full 8MP picture at maximum zoom. Need more? 16x digital zoom sits on top. The camera pans 360° endlessly and tilts from -15° to 90° at up to 180°/s, storing 1024 presets, 16 preset patrols and 16 recorded patrols, with a stay time of 15 seconds to 30 minutes at each point.

Intrusion rules and people counting

Cross line, intrusion, area entry and area exit rules tell people from vehicles and bikes, so you get the alerts that matter instead of one for every movement. People counting, crowd density, best-snapshot capture and basic detection for motion, tampering and left or removed objects are built in. With 7 alarm inputs, fence and door sensors can wire straight into the camera, and the 2 outputs can drive a siren or floodlight.

Power and installation

Power options are 24 V AC, 24 V DC or PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt), with a 61 W maximum. The housing measures 270 mm across and 497 mm tall and weighs 9.69 kg, so check the bracket and pole load before you mount it. You also get a 10/100 network port, RS485, audio in/out and a microSD slot that keeps recording through network drops and back-fills via ANR.

Typical uses in Saudi Arabia

• Large logistics warehouses and container yards in Dammam and Jeddah.
• Car parks at towers and major hospitals in Riyadh.
• Fuel stations and service centers on intercity highways.
• Stadiums and large university grounds.

Recorder compatibility

ONVIF Profiles S, G, T and M with API and SDK access let it work with Uniview NVRs and compliant VMS software, and Ultra 265 cuts hard disk usage.

IPC6858ER-X40-VF, IPC6658SR-X25-VF or IPC6828EL-X42-W-VH1?

Against the Prime Series IPC6658SR-X25-VF, the IPC6858ER-X40-VF raises zoom from 25x to 40x, IR range from 200 m to 250 m and alarm inputs from 2 to 7. If you need 500 m illumination, a window wiper and IP67 protection, pick the IPC6828EL-X42-W-VH1.
