Uniview IPC3234EA-AHDZK-I1 4MP IR Dome Camera with 4X Zoom

The Uniview IPC3234EA-AHDZK-I1 is a 4MP outdoor network dome with a 2.8-12 mm lens and 4X optical zoom that keeps color down to 0.0003 lux and adds 40 m of IR. It suits car parks, warehouses and open yards that need clear night coverage plus two-way audio.

====

The Uniview IPC3234EA-AHDZK-I1 is a 4MP outdoor IR dome camera with a 2.8-12 mm varifocal lens and 4X optical zoom, made for wide areas with poor lighting. Its 1/1.8-inch sensor and F1.2 aperture hold color down to 0.0003 lux, and 850 nm infrared covers up to 40 m when the lights go out completely. Typical spots: loading bays in Dammam, compound car parks in Riyadh, school courtyards in Jeddah.

Key specs at a glance

The numbers that matter:

• 4MP (2688 × 1520) main stream at up to 60 fps, plus a 1080P sub stream and a D1 third stream.
• 140 dB WDR for gates and doors facing direct sun.
• Horizontal field of view from 106.6° at the wide end to 51.3° at full zoom.
• Ultra 265, H.265, H.264 and MJPEG compression, 128 Kbps to 16 Mbps.
• Gigabit Ethernet, powered by PoE or 12 V DC, drawing 17 W.

4X zoom for wide or tight framing

Pull back to 2.8 mm and you cover a full yard; push to 12 mm and the picture tightens on one gate or counter. DORI distances are 6.8 to 16.6 m for identifying a person and 68 to 166.2 m for detecting one, depending on zoom position.

Analytics that cut nuisance alerts

Alarms are classified as human, motor vehicle or non-motor vehicle, with false alarm filtering on top, so a swaying tree should not light up your phone at 2 a.m. Functions include:

• Line crossing, intrusion, enter area and leave area detection.
• People flow counting and crowd density monitoring.
• Object left behind, object removed, scene change and defocus alerts.

Two-way audio and alarm wiring

Two built-in microphones and a speaker let you listen in at the entrance and talk back to a visitor or warn someone loitering. Installers also get 2 audio inputs and 1 output, 3 alarm inputs and 2 outputs, an RS485 port and a 12 V DC output for a small accessory.

Ready for Saudi outdoor sites

The housing is rated IP67 against dust and rain and IK10 against impact. It runs from -30°C to 60°C, has a built-in heater and 6 kV surge protection, which suits exposed walls and parking poles across the Kingdom.

Recording and compatibility

Pair it with a Uniview NVR or any recorder supporting ONVIF Profiles S, G, T and M. A MicroSD slot takes cards up to 512 GB, and ANR keeps footage on the card if the link to the recorder drops, then fills the gap later. Live view runs in UNV-Link on your phone or EZStation on a PC.

IPC3234EA-AHDZK-I1 vs IPC3238EA-AHDZK-I1

Both share the same housing and 2.8-12 mm lens. The IPC3238EA-AHDZK-I1 steps up to 8MP (3840 × 2160) and identifies people out to 18 m. The IPC3234EA-AHDZK-I1 sees better in the dark (0.0003 lux color versus 0.001 lux), is slightly wider (106.6° versus 102.5°) and draws less power (17 W versus 19 W). Go 4MP for large, dim areas; go 8MP when faces and plates need fine detail.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the IPC3234EA-AHDZK-I1 need a separate power adapter?

No. It runs on PoE from a switch or NVR over one network cable, or on 12 V DC. It draws 17 W.

How far can it see at night?

Infrared reaches 40 m at 850 nm. Before switching to IR, it keeps a color image down to 0.0003 lux.

Does it record audio?

Yes. It has two built-in microphones and a speaker, and supports two-way audio from the app.
