Uniview 8MP ColorHunter Turret with 4K Full-Color Night Vision, F1.0 Lens, and Active Deterrence
The Uniview 8MP ColorHunter turret camera captures 3840 x 2160 video at up to 30 fps through a 1/1.8-inch CMOS sensor and fixed 2.8mm F1.0 lens that delivers full-color footage around the clock, even in near-total darkness down to 0.0005 lux. The F1.0 aperture pulls in four times more light than an F2.0 lens, and the 30-meter warm light illuminator maintains vivid color detail where standard IR cameras drop to black-and-white. A 113.5-degree horizontal field of view covers wide areas from a single mounting position, and 120dB wide dynamic range handles high-contrast scenes at building entrances and mixed-lighting environments. This security camera connects through Power over Ethernet (802.3af, max 11W) and carries IP67 weatherproofing with IK10 vandal resistance in a metal housing rated for -30 to 60 degrees Celsius.
Smart intrusion prevention classifies human and vehicle targets for line crossing, intrusion zones, and area entry/exit detection, while people counting tracks flow and crowd density for retail and facility management. Two-way audio through the built-in microphone and audio I/O terminals supports live communication and active deterrence with voice warnings through an external speaker, and the alarm I/O terminals connect door contacts and sensors for event-driven recording. Ultra 265 compression reduces storage requirements beyond standard H.265, onboard microSD supports cards up to 512GB with ANR failover, and ONVIF Profile S, G, T, and M compatibility ensures integration with third-party NVR and VMS platforms.
Where the ColorHunter Turret Fits
- Parking lots, gas stations, and outdoor commercial perimeters where the F1.0 aperture and warm light illumination maintain full-color 4K footage through the night for vehicle identification by color and make, the 113.5-degree field of view covers wide lots from a single camera position, and active deterrence through the audio output delivers voice warnings to trespassers
- Retail entrances, shopping centers, and high-traffic facilities where people counting tracks customer flow and crowd density for capacity management, smart intrusion prevention classifies human and vehicle targets to reduce false alerts from non-threat motion, and 4K resolution provides identification detail across wide storefronts and lobbies
- Warehouse yards, construction sites, and critical infrastructure where the IK10 vandal-resistant metal housing withstands impact in exposed mounting locations, the alarm I/O terminals integrate with perimeter sensors for event-triggered recording and alerts, and 512GB onboard storage with ANR failover provides continuous recording independent of network availability

Is Uniview a Good Camera?
Uniview is one of the top three global manufacturers of IP video surveillance equipment and holds over 5,000 patents in network camera technology. The ColorHunter series represents Uniview's full-color night vision line, using oversized sensors and F1.0 aperture lenses to capture color footage in lighting conditions where most cameras switch to black-and-white infrared. This 8MP model pairs a 1/1.8-inch sensor with 4K resolution, smart analytics, and IK10 vandal resistance at a price point that positions it as a strong alternative to comparable Hikvision ColorVu and Dahua Full-Color models for commercial and residential deployments.
