    Verdict

    Uniview IPC252ERA-X22DUG captures more pixel detail (2.1 MP vs 0.1 MP), useful for license-plate or face identification at distance. Vivotek TB9301-E reaches further (250 m vs 200 m) — better for perimeter and parking-lot wide shots. Uniview IPC252ERA-X22DUG has stronger IR illumination (200 m vs 0 m) — better for unlit corridors and night perimeter. Uniview IPC252ERA-X22DUG ships a low-light / ColorVu sensor — better in mixed-light retail or city-street scenes.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is Uniview IPC252ERA-X22DUG better than Vivotek TB9301-E?

    Uniview IPC252ERA-X22DUG captures more pixel detail (2.1 MP vs 0.1 MP), useful for license-plate or face identification at distance. Vivotek TB9301-E reaches further (250 m vs 200 m) — better for perimeter and parking-lot wide shots. Uniview IPC252ERA-X22DUG has stronger IR illumination (200 m vs 0 m) — better for unlit corridors and night perimeter. Uniview IPC252ERA-X22DUG ships a low-light / ColorVu sensor — better in mixed-light retail or city-street scenes. For installation-specific advice — mounting height, tilt, obstacle shadowing, BOM and PoE budget — drop both cameras into CCTVplanner and the FOV cones, DORI rings (per EN 62676-4) and cable schedule render in real time on a satellite map or imported floor plan.

    What is the field of view of Uniview IPC252ERA-X22DUG vs Vivotek TB9301-E?

    Uniview IPC252ERA-X22DUG has a 60° horizontal FOV at 6.5-143mm. Vivotek TB9301-E has a 14° horizontal FOV at 35mm. Uniview covers a wider scene at the same distance; the FOV calculator on CCTVplanner converts these into linear meters of coverage at any chosen target distance.

    Which camera has stronger IR illumination?

    Uniview IPC252ERA-X22DUG reaches 200 m of IR illumination versus no IR for Vivotek TB9301-E. The further-reaching IR camera is the better fit for unlit yards, parking perimeters and warehouses without permanent lighting.

    Can I plan a project mixing Uniview and Vivotek cameras?

    Yes. CCTVplanner is multi-vendor by design — drop Uniview and Vivotek cameras on the same canvas, share the same EN 62676-4 lens math and DORI ring overlays, and consolidate them into one BOM with cable schedule and PoE budget. Vendor design tools (Axis Site Designer, Hikvision HiTools, Dahua Project Design Tool, i-PRO SDT) cannot do this because each speaks only its own catalog.
