About the CP Plus CP-UNP-28W-O
The CP Plus CP-UNP-28W-O is a pan-tilt-zoom platform giving operators the ability to follow targets, scan large areas on auto-tour, and zoom in for identification. 720p HD resolution captures enough detail for basic identification only at close range: on the same lens it reaches about two thirds of the distance a 1080p camera does, and loses face detail beyond that. An IR reach above 80 m is unusual for the format and is intended for highway monitoring, large industrial sites, and airport perimeters where conventional cameras would simply lose the target after dark. A standard 50-80° horizontal FOV mimics how a person sees a scene and works well for general-purpose monitoring of rooms, parking spaces, and perimeter walls without distortion.
Best use cases for this camera
Large area patrol & target tracking
PTZ control enables operator-initiated tracking of suspicious activity, scheduled tours of preset positions overnight, and forensic zoom into recorded footage. Best paired with a wide-angle "overview" camera that triggers the PTZ via analytics.
Strengths
- •100m IR range eliminates the need for external night-time illuminators
- •PTZ control enables operator-driven tracking and pre-set tours
Considerations
- •Resolution limits forensic digital zoom; recorded faces beyond ~12m may not be identifiable
- •PTZ cameras only see one direction at a time; pair with a fixed overview camera to avoid blind spots

Field of View Visualization
Night Vision Performance
Daytime
Full 1.2MP (1280×960) resolution at 54.1° field of view. Effective identification range up to 6m in good lighting conditions.
Nighttime (IR)
Built-in IR LEDs illuminate up to 100m in complete darkness. Switches to B/W mode for clear night footage.
Installation tips for the CP-UNP-28W-O
Mount above 4 m on a rigid pole or wall bracket. PTZ vibrations are amplified at low mounting heights and degrade image quality during pan operations.
Avoid mounting under direct ceiling lights or behind glass: both reflect IR back into the lens and create severe glare in the image.
Coverage geometry & DORI distances
At a 5-metre standoff the CP Plus CP-UNP-28W-O covers about 5.1 m of scene width; at 10 m that grows to 10.2 m, and at 20 m to 20.4 m. Translating those numbers through EN 62676-4 pixel-density thresholds, the camera can detect a person up to 50 m, observe up to 20 m, recognise up to 10 m, and produce Identify-level detail (250 px/m in the EN 62676-4 DORI scale) up to 5 m. Effective range above the identify threshold relies on supplementary lighting or a longer-focal-length optic; the geometry above assumes the 4.7-94mm lens declared by the manufacturer.
Power & cabling
The CP Plus CP-UNP-28W-O draws an estimated 60.0 W under typical load (with the IR illuminator engaged where applicable), placing it in the 802.3bt Type 3 (Class 5-6, ≤60 W) budget. A single switch port supplies enough power without an injector. Cabling: stick to Cat6 STP for runs up to 80 m end-to-end; beyond that, add an inline PoE extender or move to fibre with a media converter at the camera end. On outdoor runs, route through ø25 PVC or PE conduit to keep the cable shielded from UV and rodents.
Privacy & legal (GDPR / RODO)
Any camera operating in a publicly accessible area falls under GDPR (RODO in Poland). Art. 13 obliges the data controller to post an information sign at every entry point with controller name, DPO contact, lawful basis (typically Art. 6(1)(f) legitimate interest for property protection), purpose, and retention period. The CP Plus CP-UNP-28W-O's PTZ pan range can sweep into neighbouring properties or public roads; document allowed pan limits in the installation record and configure privacy masks (see CP Plus's web-UI under "Privacy Mask") for any window or doorway you cannot legally surveil.
Installer time & cost (rough estimate)
A typical EU installer quotes 5-6 h of labour per ptz camera of this class (approximately €225-€275 excluding hardware), broken down as bracket mounting, cable termination at both ends, on-site commissioning, and a brief operator handover. Allow extra time for high mounts (>4 m), exterior installations requiring scaffolding, or sites where cable routing demands wall penetrations or conduit work.
Indicative EU pricing at 2024-2025 rates; actual quotes vary by region, mounting height, and site conditions. Excludes hardware, transport, permits, and VAT.
Frequently asked questions
Is the CP Plus CP-UNP-28W-O suitable for outdoor installation?
CP Plus PTZ models are generally designed for outdoor use with IP66 ingress rating and -30°C to +60°C operating range. Mount on a rigid pole at ≥ 4 m to dampen wind-driven vibration that would degrade the live image during pan operations.
What PoE class powers the CP Plus CP-UNP-28W-O?
The camera draws roughly 60.0 W in steady-state operation, requiring an 802.3bt Type 3 (Class 5-6, ≤60 W) switch port. A single Cat6 STP cable carries both data and power up to 80 m; beyond that, add an inline extender or convert to fibre near the camera.
How much storage does the CP Plus CP-UNP-28W-O consume per day?
At 1.2MP (1280×960) resolution, 15 fps H.265 continuous recording, the CP-UNP-28W-O produces approximately 5 GB per day, about 150 GB per month. Motion-only or event-triggered recording typically cuts that by 40-70 % depending on scene activity. Plan NVR HDD capacity for the longest retention period required by your privacy policy or insurance contract.
Up to what distance can the CP Plus CP-UNP-28W-O identify a person?
By the DORI thresholds of EN 62676-4 (Identify at 250 px/m on the target, a density the 2025 edition calls Characterise), this camera reaches Identify level up to about 5 m, recognises a person up to 10 m, observes general activity up to 20 m, and detects motion up to 50 m. Identification distance assumes daylight or full IR illumination on the target; at the limits of the IR cone the effective identify distance shrinks roughly 30 %.
What network bandwidth does CP Plus CP-UNP-28W-O use?
Typical ingest is 2 Mbps for the main stream (H.265, medium scene complexity, 15 fps) plus ~0.5 Mbps for a low-resolution sub-stream used by mobile clients. For a 16-camera installation of this class, plan a 50-100 Mbps NVR uplink and a dedicated VLAN for camera traffic.
