Dahua DH-HAC-HDW1239TP-A-LED-S3 - 2MP 1080p Full-Colour HDCVI CCTV Eyeball Turret Camera

The Dahua DH-HAC-HDW1239TP-A-LED-S3 (listed by Dahua as the HAC-HDW1239T(-A)-LED, S3 version) is a 2MP 1080p full-colour HDCVI analogue CCTV eyeball camera, also called a turret camera, from Dahua's HDCVI Lite Series. An F1.0 aperture and four warm lights covering up to 40 m keep the picture in colour 24 hours a day, while Smart Light+ concentrates the light within the lens's field of view to reduce stray-light interference. This version has a 2.8 mm lens and a built-in microphone, with audio sent back to the recorder over the same coax cable.

Also listed as DH-HAC-HDW1239TP-A-LED-0280-S3 and HAC-HDW1239TP-A-LED-0280-S3.

Who is it for?

Dahua positions the Lite Series for residential areas and SMB (small and medium business) solutions. The camera gives 24/7 colour imaging, which Dahua says increases the reliability of the human and vehicle images collected as evidence, so it suits sites where you want colour detail at night, whether as a home CCTV camera or in a small business.

Common questions

Does it record in colour at night?

Dahua lists 24/7 colour imaging, an F1.0 aperture and four warm lights with a 40 m illumination distance, and gives the day/night mode as colour.

Does it record sound?

Yes. The camera has a one channel built-in microphone with an 8 m pick-up distance, and Dahua says HDCVI supports audio signal transmission over coaxial cable. See our HDCVI guide.

Will it work with my existing DVR?

The output can be switched between CVI, TVI, AHD and CVBS, so it can work with other HD analogue recorders. If you are not sure whether your recorder supports audio over coax, send us the recorder model and we will check.

How far can it see?

For the 2.8 mm lens Dahua lists a horizontal field of view of 101° and DORI distances of 47.1 m detect, 18.9 m observe, 9.4 m recognise and 4.7 m identify.

Is it suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, it is a waterproof outdoor CCTV camera. Dahua lists IP67 protection (dust-proof, and tested after a 1 m soak for 30 minutes), a metal casing and an operating temperature of -40 °C to +60 °C.

What does the S3 mean?

Dahua's datasheet says its parameters apply to the 1239-S3 series, and the specifications on this page come from that S3 datasheet.
