UNIVIEW Turret 2MP 20M IR 2.8mm Lens Camera
The UNIVIEW Turret 2MP 20M IR 2.8mm Lens is a turret camera for CCTV and video surveillance. It is built for general monitoring tasks where you need a clear picture of an area and the ability to keep recording after dark. The name describes its main features: a 2 megapixel sensor, infrared illumination with a 20 metre range, and a 2.8 mm lens.
Surveillance cameras are often chosen by how well they match the space they cover. A 2 megapixel resolution gives a sharp enough image for general identification of people, vehicles and activity at typical distances. The 2.8 mm focal length provides a fixed, reasonably wide view, which is useful for covering doorways, walkways and open areas without needing several cameras.
Key Features
- 2 megapixel (2MP) image resolution
- Infrared (IR) night illumination with a range of 20 metres (20M)
- Fixed 2.8 mm lens for a set field of view
- Turret camera housing for wall and ceiling mounting
- Part of the UNIVIEW range of CCTV products
Lens and Field of View
The 2.8 mm lens is a fixed focal length, so the viewing angle does not change once the camera is installed. Before buying, plan the mounting height and distance to the area you want to cover. A wider lens shows more of a room but gives less detail at long range, while a narrower lens does the opposite. The 2.8 mm option is a balanced choice for many indoor and outdoor locations.
Night Viewing and Infrared
The built-in infrared lighting allows the camera to produce a black and white image in low light or darkness. The stated 20 metre range refers to how far the infrared light reaches. Objects further away may still appear, but detail will depend on the scene, lighting and mounting position. Test the camera in its final position at night to confirm the view meets your needs.
Typical Uses
This turret camera is suitable for a wide range of security applications, including:
- Monitoring building entrances, exits and reception areas
- Covering corridors, stairwells and internal walkways
- Watching car parks, loading bays and yards
- General perimeter and outdoor observation under shelter
- Home and small business surveillance
Installation Considerations
Mount the camera where it can view the target area clearly and is protected from obvious tampering. Avoid pointing it directly at strong light sources, which can reduce image quality. Check that the cable route, power supply and recording equipment are planned before installation. Because this is a fixed camera, the position and angle should be set carefully at the start.
Who It Is For
The UNIVIEW Turret 2MP 20M IR 2.8mm Lens suits installers, system integrators and property owners who want a straightforward camera for everyday surveillance. It is a practical option for upgrading an existing system or building a new one where a fixed, infrared-capable turret camera is required.
