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.
True colour through the night
ColorHunter with Wise-ISP and an F1.0 aperture capture vivid full-colour footage down to 0.0005 lux, so number plates, clothing and vehicle colours stay readable after dark.
Active deterrence + AI
Tri-Guard warm light plus on-camera human and vehicle classification, intrusion prevention, people counting and crowd density cut false alarms from trees, rain and shadows.
One-cable install
PoE (IEEE 802.3af) carries power and data over a single Cat6 run to your NVR or PoE switch — no separate power supply at the camera. A 12V DC option is also supported.
Built tough for the outdoors
IP67 sealing, an IK10 vandal-resistant metal body and NEMA 4X protection shrug off Australian sun, dust and downpours, with built-in dual mic and speaker for two-way audio.
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.
Is the IPC3638SE-ADF28KMC-WP-I1 NDAA compliant?Yes. Uniview UNV OwlView Plus cameras are NDAA Section 889 compliant, making them suitable for government, commercial and security-sensitive sites in Australia.
What lens and coverage does it have?A fixed 2.8 mm F1.0 lens gives a wide ~108° horizontal field of view — ideal for entries, forecourts, car parks and shopfronts.
Does it have active deterrence?Yes. Tri-Guard combines warm light, a built-in speaker and two-way audio so you can warn off intruders, while AI intrusion prevention triggers alerts on people and vehicles.
How is it powered?Single-cable PoE (IEEE 802.3af) over Cat6 to a PoE NVR or switch. A 12V DC option is also supported.
Does it support two-way audio?Yes — a built-in dual microphone and speaker with Audio I/O 1/1 enable two-way audio (check local laws before recording audio).
Which NVRs work with it?It works with Uniview UNV NVRs via plug-and-play and with most ONVIF-compatible recorders for video and AI events.
Can it record without an NVR?Yes — a MicroSD card (up to 512 GB) enables on-camera recording, with ANR to fill gaps if the network drops.
What warranty applies?This camera ships with a 3-year Australian warranty and local CCTV Guru tech support.
