UNV CCTV Dubai – UNIVIEW CCTV

Uniview is one of the largest Chinese video surveillance manufacturers (behind Hikvision and Dahua) now expanding internationally, focusing on mid to high end IP cameras. UNV is a huge manufacturer with some very cheap stuff at the moment. They have a reasonably strong market in Aus so warranty should be no issue & their phone app has regular updates. In the security world they are seen as a good brand & like all others, they are currently overshadowed by Hik flooding the market.

Uniview is a pioneer and leader of IP video surveillance. Originally a division of one of Chinas largest IT companies, Uniview Technologies Co Ltd. was created in 2011 with the help of one of USA’s largest venture capital companies. Uniview has applied for more than 600 patents relating to CCTV with more innovative ideas being created every day. Feel safe in your home with the UNV CCTV Security Kit.

UNIVIEW’S IPC542E-DUG Starlight full body day/night camera, distributed locally by C.R. Kennedy, is the first Uniview camera we’ve tested. Uniview is the third of China’s big CCTV camera manufacturers and the company makes a full suite of CCTV gear. Quality is good, judging by the build of this metal-bodied camera and others we saw at Security 2015 in Melbourne. There’s nothing rough here – Uniview’s Starlight is a handsome and well-made piece of hardware.

Remote Monitoring

Central Monitoring System: Have more than one location? Well accessing each of them on a different IP address is a thing of the past with our standard CMS software that allows you to painlessly link an almost unlimited number of recorders and cameras all to the same IP address.

Playback and Recording

Multiple Playback and Recording Options: The multiple recording options allow you to set your Universal DVR/NVR to record on a set schedule, continuously around-the-clock, or to further conserve hard drive space: only when motion is detected. You can also select the number of cameras to view on one screen or hide certain ones from other users, using the multiple playback features.

H.264 Compression

H.264 Real-time Recording and Playback: Its H.264 compression greatly reduces the size of your digital video files without compromising the image quality (compared to other compression standards, such as M-JPEG and MPEG-4). H.264 is a stable, proven compression technology, which offers unbeatable recording picture quality while at the same time saving you valuable hard drive storage space.

H.265 Compression

H.265 Real-time Recording and Playback: H.265 is a step above H.264. In the world of technology, we all strive to move forward and advance–so here is our next offer in the world of saving space and slow internet speeds. H.265 can transfer HD video data (~720p) at half of the bandwidth then that of H.264 so that you can enjoy 2K and 4K videos even if you have slow internet(1~2Mbs). You get the same data quality as H.264 and the others but compared you save 70~80% in bandwidth sources.

The detail this function provides is essential in saving time and the hassle of repositioning your cameras to achieve the desired viewing space.

Conclusion

UNV CCTV Cameras are well-made camera with particular strengths in colour in street scenes between 2-10 lux and very strong colour rendition. The camera has an excellent performance against backlight and delivers its performance at reasonably economical bit rates and a comparatively economical price. Even after it has been running for days on end there’s no particular warmth detectable in the camera body at all – this is a nice quality that suggests the potential for processor longevity.
