Dahua DH-IPC-HFW5541EP-ZE-ATC-S3: 5MP WizMind Vari-focal Bullet Camera
The Dahua DH-IPC-HFW5541EP-ZE-ATC-S3 (listed by Dahua as the IPC-HFW5541E-ZE, S3 generation) is a 5MP motorised vari-focal bullet camera from Dahua's WizMind 5 Series. Deep-learning analytics give perimeter protection that classifies people, vehicles and animals, plus face detection, people counting and video metadata, while AI-ISP and Dahua's IR keep the picture clear at night. The motorised zoom lets you frame the scene remotely after installation, and the housing is rated IP67 and IK10.

| Version | Lens | Horizontal view | IR distance | Identify (DORI) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DH-IPC-HFW5541EP-ZE-27135-ATC-S3 | 2.7mm-13.5mm | 114°-32° | Up to 60m | 6.4m (wide) to 21.0m (tele) |
| DH-IPC-HFW5541EP-ZE-735-ATC-S3 | 7mm-35mm | 31°-11° | Up to 120m | 21.4m (wide) to 57.3m (tele) |
Who is it for?
The 2.7mm-13.5mm version suits car parks, yards, shop fronts and building perimeters where you want anything from a wide overview to a tighter view of a gate or entrance. The 7mm-35mm version is built for long views: driveways, long fence lines, loading bays and site entrances where you need to identify people well away from the camera. Both suit commercial sites that want accurate alarms from people and vehicles rather than from rain, leaves and headlights.

DORI distances
From Dahua's datasheets (EN 62676-4), at the wide (W) and tele (T) ends of each lens:
| Lens | Detect | Observe | Recognise | Identify |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.7-13.5mm (W) | 64.0m | 25.6m | 12.8m | 6.4m |

Mounting accessories (from Dahua's datasheet)
- PFA121 water-proof junction box
- DH-PFM900-E integrated mount tester for installers
- Dahua also lists the PFA156 pole mount, a 12V DC 1A power adapter and a TF-P100 Micro SD card
What you will need
- A PoE switch or PoE NVR port (802.3af), or a 12V DC supply
- An NVR to record, ideally a Dahua WizMind or AI NVR to use smart search on metadata and perimeter events
- Cat5e or Cat6 cable; ePoE allows longer runs with compatible Dahua switches
Frequently asked questions
Which lens should I choose?
Choose 2.7mm-13.5mm for general site coverage: it zooms from a wide 114° view to 32°. Choose 7mm-35mm when the area you need to identify people in is 20m to 55m or more from the camera, such as a long driveway or fence line.
Can I adjust the zoom after it is installed?
Yes. Both lenses are motorised, so zoom and focus are set from the web interface, the NVR or the app without going back up the ladder.
Will it work with a non-Dahua NVR?
Yes. It supports ONVIF Profile S, G, T and M. The advanced AI search features work best with a Dahua recorder.
Does it have alarm and audio connections?
Yes. Dahua's datasheet lists alarm 2 in / 1 out and audio 1 in / 1 out, plus a built-in microphone, so you can connect a siren, strobe, detector or external speaker.
