Dahua DH-IPC-HDBW5442HP-ZHE-2712F-DC12AC24V-ATC-S3 - 4MP AI Vandal-Proof Dome Network Camera

Dahua DH-IPC-HDBW5442HP-ZHE-2712F-DC12AC24V-ATC-S3 — 4MP Dome IP Camera

The DH-IPC-HDBW5442HP-ZHE-2712F-DC12AC24V-ATC-S3 is a 4MP dome IP camera from Dahua with a 2.7-12mm motorized varifocal lens, AI-ISP image processing and AcuPick 2.0 for fast human, vehicle and animal detection across more than 8 AI functions. A built-in microphone adds real-time audio, and the IP67/IK10-rated housing is built to withstand harsh outdoor environments.

Who is it for?

IP cameras carry video and PoE power over one Cat5e/Cat6 cable to a PoE NVR — ideal when cabling from scratch or wanting resolutions/analytics beyond coax. At 4MP with AI-based detection, this dome suits retail, warehouse, car park and perimeter installations where accurate human/vehicle alerts matter, and the vandal-resistant IK10 housing makes it a solid choice for publicly accessible or exposed mounting points.

Key specification

What you will need

• A PoE NVR with matching resolution support — see our NVRs range.
• Cat5e/Cat6 cabling to run video and power to the camera.
• A PoE switch if you are running long cable lengths or branching to several cameras.
• Clear GDPR signage where the camera covers areas accessible to the public.

Frequently asked questions

Will this camera work with a non-Dahua NVR?

Yes — it supports ONVIF, so it can be added to most third-party NVRs, though you get the full feature set, including AcuPick 2.0 AI search, when paired with a Dahua NVR.

Does it need a separate power supply?

This model is rated for DC12V or AC24V power. If your NVR or switch does not provide PoE compatible with this camera, you will need a separate 12V DC or 24V AC power supply at the camera location — contact us for advice on cabling your install.

How much storage will I need?

Storage depends on resolution, frame rate and how many channels record continuously — as a guide, a single 4MP camera recording continuously typically needs several hundred GB per month. Contact us for help sizing a hard drive for your system.

Is this camera suitable for outdoor use?

Yes — the IP67 weatherproof and IK10 vandal-resistant rating make it suitable for exposed outdoor and publicly accessible mounting points.
