§ 01Overview
What the IPC3618LE-ADF28K-H is
The Uniview IPC3618LE-ADF28K-H belongs to the Easy series, the range Uniview positions for homes and small retail, and it is an infrared turret rather than a colour-night one. Its 1/2.8" backside-illuminated sensor sits behind an F1.6 lens with U-ISP processing, which is what EasyStar means in practice: colour holds down to 0.005 Lux with AGC on, and with the infrared on it works at 0 Lux, the IR-cut filter switching between the two automatically.
The 4K frame is the point of the camera. At 8 MP (3840 × 2160) it runs at up to 20 fps, and where smoother movement matters more than pixels it steps down to 5 MP, 4 MP or 1080P at up to 30 fps. 120 dB WDR keeps a figure readable against a bright sky, HLC pulls back headlights and BLC lifts a subject standing against the light.
The 2.8 mm lens sees 98.7° across and 53.9° vertically, a wide frame for a door, a porch or a carport rather than a long driveway. It is rated to detect at 86.9 m, observe at 34.8 m, recognise at 17.4 m and identify at 8.7 m, and the identify figure is the one to mount a doorway camera around.
What it does not do is as useful to know. There is a built-in microphone but no speaker, no two-way audio and no alarm or audio input or output, so it records sound and cannot talk back or sound a siren. Its only supplemental light is infrared, so footage of a dark yard is black and white. Detection is cross line and intrusion based on human body detection, with motion, ultra motion, tampering and audio detection alongside; it works with ONVIF Profile S, G and T recorders as well as Uniview's own.

§ 04Why choose this
Built for the way you actually use the IPC3618LE-ADF28K-H
Colour lasts longer into the evening
EasyStar pairs a backside-illuminated 1/2.8" sensor with an F1.6 iris and U-ISP processing, and holds colour to 0.005 Lux with AGC on. A porch or street light is often enough to keep dusk footage in colour before the infrared is needed.
Infrared that does not blind up close
Smart IR reaches 30 m and adjusts its output for a subject close to the lens, so a face at the door is not washed out while the fence line stays lit. Control is automatic or manual.
Faces survive a bright background
120 dB WDR holds the gap between a dark porch and the sky behind it, HLC pulls back headlights and BLC lifts a subject standing against the light. These are the three situations that ruin a doorway shot.
Detection that looks for people
Cross line and intrusion are both based on human body detection, so a line across a path or an area over a doorway responds to a person rather than to any movement. Motion, ultra motion, tampering and audio detection run alongside for the rest.
Recording survives a dropout
A microSD card of up to 512 GB sits in the camera, and ANR caches to it when the link to the recorder fails, transferring the footage back afterwards. On its own the camera can record to that card alone.
§ 05Where it fits
Right at home in these scenarios
Front door or porch
The Uniview IPC3618LE-ADF28K-H under an eave puts a caller inside its 8.7 m identify distance before they reach the door, and the 98.7° view holds the path either side. After dark the picture is black and white under infrared, so a porch light is worth leaving on if colour at the door matters.
Driveway or carport
Looking along a driveway, the camera's 30 m infrared reach and 86.9 m detect distance set how far out a figure or a car shows up, with identification inside 8.7 m. Mount it high enough that headlights do not sit on the lens, and let HLC handle the rest.
Shopfront or small business entry
Above the entry it records who comes and goes with sound from the built-in microphone, and a cross line drawn across the doorway raises an alert when a person crosses it after hours. There is no speaker, so it watches and records rather than warning anyone off.
§ 06Setup
Installation & setup
Mounting
The Uniview IPC3618LE-ADF28K-H mounts straight to an eave or ceiling. For a wall, pole or pendant run, the compatible accessories are TR-JB03-I-IN, TR-A01-IN, TR-SE24-IN, TR-SE24-A-IN, TR-CM24-IN, TR-JB07/WM03-G-IN-V2, TR-WM03-D-IN-V2, TR-UC08-C-V2, TR-WM07P-B and TR-UP06-C-IN-V2; pick the one made for the surface you have.
Cabling and power
Run one Cat5e or Cat6 cable per camera and keep each run under 100 m to the switch or recorder. Power is PoE 802.3af on the same cable at no more than 5.0 W, or 12 V DC to the Ø5.5 mm coaxial plug where there is no PoE.
Keeping water out of the joint
The cable joint on the tail must not be left exposed: it belongs in an integral waterproof space such as a rod chamber, a waterproof junction box, or corrugated or PVC pipe, and a junction box is never mounted horizontally because water pools in it. A taped joint uses self-adhesive rubber tape stretched to about twice its length and half-overlapped.
Aiming and recording
The camera pans through 360°, tilts to 75° and rotates through 360° in its base, so the picture can be squared up after the bracket is fixed. Fit a microSD card of up to 512 GB for edge storage, or add it to a network video recorder that has its own surveillance drive and a monitor on its video output, placed in a ventilated indoor spot near the router rather than a sealed roof space.
App setup
Turn on EZCloud under Setup on the camera's web interface and connect the camera to the router with an address on the router's network segment. Then scan the QR code from the EZCloud page in the app under Devices, Add, Scan, and allow a couple of minutes for it to connect before live view starts.
When you need an electrician
Only for a new power point or for cabling inside a wall cavity, and that work is for a licensed electrician. The camera itself runs on PoE or low-voltage DC and needs no mains work.

Is your Hikvision, Dahua, HiLook and TP-Link VIGI stock genuine Australian stock?
Yes, 100%. Every Hikvision, Dahua, HiLook and TP-Link VIGI product we sell is a genuine Australian-market model sourced through Australian supply chains — never grey imports. That means factory-sealed units, Australian-region firmware that works with the official apps out of the box, and a full 3-year local warranty.
How long does delivery take?

Standard shipping is free on all orders over $300 AUD, Australia-wide. Orders under $300 ship at a flat rate of $25, calculated at checkout. Tracking is included on every order.
What warranty do you offer?
All cameras, NVRs and DVRs come with a 3-year back-to-base manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, in addition to your rights under Australian Consumer Law. Hard drives and accessories are covered as set out in our Warranty Policy.
What is your return policy?
You have 30 days from the day you receive your order to request a change-of-mind return. Items must be unopened, factory-sealed and in resalable condition. A 15% restocking fee applies and return postage is at your cost. Faulty or incorrectly supplied items are different: we cover the return shipping and refund or replace at no charge. Read the full Return & Refund Policy.

We can connect you with licensed installers in Sydney and Melbourne. Installation typically starts from around $200 per camera depending on cable runs and site conditions. Email sales@smarket.com.au with your address and camera count for a quote.

Add a PoE recorder or switch
The Uniview IPC3618LE-ADF28K-H takes power and video over one cable using PoE 802.3af at no more than 5.0 W. Check that the recorder or switch supports 802.3af and has a spare port before ordering.
Add a microSD card
A card of up to 512 GB gives the camera edge storage and lets ANR fill a gap if the network to the recorder drops. Order one per camera, because the slot takes a single card.
Add the right bracket
Where the camera cannot go straight onto an eave or ceiling, pick a mount from its compatible accessories, and give an exposed cable joint a waterproof junction box or conduit. Choose it with the camera so the install is not held up.
