Night Just Got a Lot More Colorful.

The UNV IPC3614LB-AF28K-DL is a 4-megapixel ColorHunter dual-light turret camera from Uniview’s EasyBasic Series — engineered to deliver full-color night vision without the grainy green-tinted footage that makes most security recordings useless when it counts. Standard IR cameras see darkness in black and white. ColorHunter cameras see it in color. Faces. Clothing. Vehicle colors. Details that actually hold up when you need to identify who was there and what they were wearing. That’s the difference between footage that solves problems and footage that gets filed and forgotten.

Powered by dual illumination — 850nm infrared and warm white light, both reaching 30 meters — the IPC3614LB-AF28K-DL switches between stealth IR mode and vivid full-color warm light mode automatically based on your configuration. The result is a compact, budget-accessible PoE turret that delivers color night vision previously reserved for higher-tier systems. At max 2.8W power consumption, it runs cooler and draws less from your PoE switch than most comparable cameras on the market.

Core Features at a Glance

ColorHunter: What Full-Color Night Vision Actually Means

Traditional security cameras rely on infrared illumination for night vision. IR works — but it renders everything in black and white. You can see shapes and movement. You cannot see the color of a jacket, the shade of a vehicle, the distinguishing features that matter most for identification and prosecution. ColorHunter changes this. By combining a high-sensitivity sensor with the onboard warm white light, the IPC3614LB-AF28K-DL captures vivid, full-color footage in complete darkness — the kind of footage where the difference between a red hoodie and a grey one is visible, where car colors match what witnesses described, where the recording means something beyond confirming someone was there.

The warm white light operates on Auto or Manual control. In Auto mode, the camera manages illumination activation based on ambient light levels. In Manual, you set exactly when each light type engages. The 850nm IR light operates simultaneously for hybrid coverage or independently for discreet, attention-free monitoring. Both reach 30 meters.

4MP Resolution: More Than Enough for What You Need to See

At 4MP (2560 × 1440), the IPC3614LB-AF28K-DL delivers approximately 3.7 megapixels of usable image area — roughly 70% more detail than 1080P. In practice this means you can digitally zoom into recorded footage and still extract readable license plate characters, facial details, or clothing textures that a 1080P recording would blur into irrelevance. The camera also supports 3MP (2304 × 1296) and 1080P recording modes, and includes 9:16 corridor mode for stairwells, hallways, and narrow passages where standard horizontal framing wastes the useful field of view.

Dual simultaneous streams allow you to record full-resolution footage to the NVR or MicroSD while streaming a compressed sub-stream for remote mobile viewing — without degrading either feed. Video bit rate is configurable from 128 Kbps to 6144 Kbps to match your storage and bandwidth constraints.

Built-In Microphone: Context That Video Alone Misses

The integrated microphone captures ambient audio continuously alongside video recording. In incidents where verbal exchanges, breaking glass, or other audio events precede or accompany visual activity, having synchronized audio evidence dramatically strengthens the record. Audio compression runs at G.711U / G.711A at 64 Kbps with echo suppression enabled. Note: this model includes a microphone only — it does not have a built-in speaker or two-way audio capability. For active voice deterrence, see the UNV IPC3615SB series.

Motion Detection and Event Alerting

The IPC3614LB-AF28K-DL supports motion detection, Ultra Motion Detection (UMD), tampering alarm, and audio detection as its core event triggers. Ultra Motion Detection provides more refined motion analysis than basic pixel-change detection, reducing false alerts from minor environmental movement while still catching genuine activity. Tamper alarm triggers if the camera housing is covered, moved, or redirected. All events can be linked to recording triggers, FTP upload, SMTP email notification, and ANR backup to NAS storage.

Installation: Lightweight, Flexible, PoE-Ready

At 0.29 kg and Ø118 × 98mm, the IPC3614LB-AF28K-DL is one of the lightest outdoor turret cameras in its class. The compact form factor installs directly to ceiling, wall, or eave with the included mounting hardware, and the full 3-axis adjustment range — 360° pan, 80° tilt, 360° rotate — means you can dial in the exact angle after mounting without relocating the camera. PoE (802.3af) over standard Cat5e or Cat6 eliminates the separate power run entirely. With a max consumption of only 2.8W, a single mid-range PoE switch can comfortably power 8 or more of these cameras simultaneously without hitting power budget limits.

Full Technical Specifications

Compatible Software and Client Access

The IPC3614LB-AF28K-DL integrates natively with UNV’s EZStation VMS and the EZView mobile app for iOS and Android. ONVIF Profile S, G, and T compatibility ensures seamless integration with all major third-party NVR and VMS platforms. Up to 32 simultaneous users can access the camera, with two permission tiers: administrator and common user. Security hardening includes HTTPS encryption, TLS 1.2, password protection with strong password enforcement, and RTSP/ONVIF digest authentication.

Ideal Applications

The IPC3614LB-AF28K-DL targets deployments where color night vision matters but budget demands a cost-effective solution. Residential properties, small businesses, retail storefronts, and multi-camera residential systems where every camera needs to pull its weight without pulling the NVR’s power budget. It pairs naturally with UNV PoE NVRs in any 4-camera or 8-camera residential or light commercial system. For deployments requiring Smart Intrusion Prevention, active deterrence, or two-way audio, consider pairing or upgrading to the UNV IPC3615SB series.
