I tested these as well and found the build quality to be so cheap that i feel that customers would have complained about it.

As a sales person for a distributor of Uniview, I didn't even know the LR3 existed. We have always sold the SR3. At one point the SR3 was plastic but too many of our clients complained and we brought in the SR3-M. The new IPC3615 is starlight with IP67.

Claiming they're IP67 with visible circuitry in the back should be a red flag big time.

Though these are ONVIF compliant and testing results are mentioned in this blog, I could not find these cameras in Genetec supported device list. Instead I found IPC3612SR3-PF28

We're also getting much better results with u-code than these results show.

For future reference I have tested the IPC3612ER3-PF28M-B.
It is the 2 megapixel version of this camera with an aluminum design and no exposed boards. Same image quality as above just lower resolution. Works in both Exacq and Nx Witness.

Uniview has informed us that the IPC3614LR3-PF28 is discontinued and replaced with the IPC3614LR3-PF28D, which uses a sealed IP67 housing, which was the data sheet which listed IP rating linked in the report.
We've updated the link to the correct older model. The IPC3614LR3 non -D model correctly listed no IP rating on its specs.

They have already released their 5mp range, we phasing these out. FYI- they are excellent for cost effective common indoor application.
Quite an anti-Chinese theme to IPVM, and it shows.
