Dahua DH-HAC-HDBW2501EP-0280B-S2 - 5MP 3K Pro Starlight HDCVI CCTV Dome Camera

Dahua DH-HAC-HDBW2501EP-0280B-S2 — 5MP Pro Starlight HDCVI Dome Camera, 2.8mm Lens

The Dahua DH-HAC-HDBW2501EP-0280B-S2 (Dahua lists the model as HAC-HDBW2501E in its HDCVI Pro Series) is a 5MP Starlight dome camera with a fixed 2.8mm lens giving a wide 132° diagonal field of view. 120dB true WDR and Smart IR out to 30m make it suited to entrances, corridors and general area coverage on an existing coax system. As an infrared camera with a Pro Starlight sensor (0.001 lux at F1.6, 0 lux with IR on), it also works as a low light camera.

Also listed as HAC-HDBW2501EP-0280B-S2.

Who is it for?

Straightforward wide-angle coverage — shop entrances, reception areas, small yards — where a fixed lens is all that is needed and a motorised zoom lens would be an unnecessary cost.

Key specification

What you will need

• A Dahua XVR recorder with a spare HDCVI channel
• RG59 coax and 12V power to the camera location
• A multi-way 12V power supply if running several cameras from one point

Frequently asked questions

What area does the 2.8mm lens cover?

A wide 132° diagonal field of view — good for general area coverage rather than reading detail at distance.

Will this work with my existing analogue recorder?

This is an HD analogue CCTV camera using Dahua's HDCVI technology, so it needs an HDCVI-capable recorder. Dahua's Penta-brid XVRs auto-detect the signal type per channel.

Is it suitable for outdoor use?

Yes — it is IP67 rated against water ingress and IK10 rated against impact, so it can be mounted outdoors.
