UNIVIEW PTZ Mini 2MP 2.8~12mm Active Defence Camera
The UNIVIEW PTZ Mini 2MP 2.8~12mm Active Defence camera, article number IPC6312LFW-AX4C-VG, is a pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) security camera for professional CCTV installations. PTZ means the camera can be moved horizontally and vertically and its zoom changed, so a single device can watch a large area or follow activity in a specific spot.
Compared with a fixed camera, a PTZ camera reduces the number of devices needed to cover a site. This can simplify cabling, mounting and monitoring, particularly in buildings and outdoor areas where the view needs to change throughout the day.

Lens and image coverage
The 2.8~12mm lens range gives the installer flexibility. At the 2.8mm setting the view is wider, which helps when covering a room, a loading bay or a car park. At 12mm the view narrows, which is useful for reading detail at a greater distance, such as an entrance or a gate. The 2MP resolution gives a clear image for general surveillance and for identifying people and vehicles at practical distances.
Active Defence model
The Active Defence designation refers to this model within the UNIVIEW range. Sites that need a camera capable of responding to events, rather than only recording, can look at this model when comparing options. Confirm the exact functions and settings with the manufacturer documentation before planning a deployment.
Typical uses
- Monitoring entrances, reception areas and corridors in offices
- Covering retail floors, stockrooms and shop fronts
- Watching yards, loading areas and car parks
- Supplementing fixed cameras where a wider or adjustable view is needed
- Expanding an existing UNIVIEW network video system
Installation considerations
Plan the mounting position so the camera has a clear view of the area it needs to cover, and check that the power and network connection suit the installation. Because the camera is controlled by pan, tilt and zoom movements, setting presets or patrol routes can help keep coverage consistent. A qualified installer should confirm the mounting method, cabling and configuration for each site.
Who it is for
This camera suits system integrators, security installers and businesses that want a flexible, moveable camera for general surveillance. It is a good fit where one camera must cover several areas or where the view needs adjusting after installation.
