Prefer IR-only night vision?
This camera supports IR-only night lighting: select Infrared in Smart Illumination. The night image is black and white; warm-white lighting is optional. Leave Day/Night on Auto for colour in daylight and IR at night.
Smart Dual-Light can turn the warm light on during a detection event. If you want the warm light to stay off, use Infrared and disable any separately configured visible-light alarm linkage. Menu labels can vary by firmware and app.
4K detail, full colour
8 MP 4K resolution with ColorHunter, Wise-ISP and an F1.0 lens captures licence plates and faces in true colour, with dual-light to 40 m across fence lines and carparks.
Smarter AI, fewer false alarms
AI smart intrusion prevention classifies humans, vehicles and non-motor vehicles, plus people-flow counting and crowd-density monitoring for retail and logistics.
Active deterrence & audio
Built-in dual microphones and speaker enable two-way audio and warning messages, with Alarm I/O and Audio I/O for integration with other systems.
Tough in any weather
IK10 vandal resistance, IP67 weatherproofing, NEMA 4X protection and a −40 °C to 60 °C range handle the harshest Australian sites.
Can I use IR-only night vision and keep the warm light off?Yes. Select Infrared in Smart Illumination to use IR night vision without the warm-white illuminator for night lighting. Night footage is black and white. Leave Day/Night on Auto if you want colour video in daylight and automatic black-and-white IR video at night. If you also want no visible warning light during detections, disable any separately configured light/alarm-light linkage.
What is the difference between Infrared, White Light and Smart Dual-Light?Infrared provides black-and-white night video without warm-white night illumination. White Light uses visible warm-white illumination for colour video in darkness. Smart Dual-Light normally uses IR at night, then switches on white light when a supported detection event occurs. To keep the warm light off, choose Infrared rather than Smart Dual-Light. Setting names and availability in the app or NVR can vary with camera firmware.
Does it record in colour at night?Colour night video is an option, not a requirement. ColorHunter/Wise-ISP supports colour imaging with sufficient ambient light or warm-white illumination. For night monitoring without the warm light, select Infrared; the night image will be black and white.
What does Tri-Guard mean?Tri-Guard combines dual-light illumination, AI analytics and active deterrence — warm-light and audio warnings paired with smart classification to deter intruders, not just record them.
Is the IPC2B18SE-ADF28KMC-WP-I1 NDAA compliant?Yes. It is NDAA Section 889 compliant, making it suitable for government, commercial and security-sensitive sites in Australia.
What resolution does it capture?True 8 MP 4K at 3840×2160 @ 30fps — ideal for identifying faces and licence plates over wider perimeters.
Does it have two-way audio?Yes — built-in dual microphones and a speaker support two-way audio and live warning messages, plus Audio I/O 1/1 for external devices (check local laws before recording audio).
Can it count people?Yes. On-camera people-flow counting and crowd-density monitoring make it well suited to retail, shopping centres and logistics sites.
How is it powered?Single-cable PoE (IEEE 802.3af) over Cat6, or DC 12V. Maximum draw is about 6.2 W.
Is it suitable for harsh sites?Absolutely — IK10 vandal resistance, IP67, NEMA 4X and a −40 °C to 60 °C range suit demanding commercial, industrial and perimeter installs.
What warranty applies?This camera ships with a 3-year Australian warranty and local CCTV Guru tech support.
