Details

4MP Imaging with Motorized Varifocal Coverage

The Dahua IPC-HFW5442E-ZE is a 4MP IR varifocal bullet WizMind network camera designed for detailed monitoring in commercial, industrial, and outdoor surveillance environments. Its 1/1.8-inch CMOS sensor produces images up to 2688 × 1520 at 25/30 fps. The motorized 2.7–12 mm varifocal lens allows installers to adjust the viewing angle according to the monitoring scene, with a horizontal field of view from 115° to 47°.

AI-Based Perimeter and Target Analysis

Built-in intelligent functions support intrusion, tripwire, fast-moving detection, loitering detection, people gathering, and parking detection. The camera can also perform face detection, people counting, video metadata analysis, smart object detection, and smart sound detection. AcuPick technology uses deep learning to help search for people, vehicles, animals, and other target types through live and recorded video when used with compatible systems.

Reliable Performance for Outdoor Deployment

The camera provides up to 60 m of IR illumination and supports Smart H.265+, Smart H.264+, AI H.265, and AI H.264 encoding for flexible bandwidth and storage management. WDR up to 140 dB, 3D noise reduction, scene self-adaptation, BLC, and HLC help maintain usable images in challenging lighting conditions.
