Dahua DH-IPC-HDW21249TP-S-IL-0280B - 12MP WizSense AI IR Night Vision PoE Smart Dual Light Turret IP CCTV Camera

The Dahua DH-IPC-HDW21249TP-S-IL-0280B (listed by Dahua as the IPC-HDW21249T-S-IL) is a 12MP WizSense AI IR turret IP CCTV camera, which Dahua calls a fixed-focal eyeball camera, from Dahua's WizSense 2 Series. Its 1/2.5" sensor records up to 4480 x 2512, giving more pixels on target than a 4K camera, and the 2.8mm lens covers a wide 112 degrees. Smart Dual Light keeps the camera in IR until a target appears, then switches to warm light for colour video, up to 30m.

Also listed as IPC-HDW21249TP-S-IL-0280B.

Common questions

Why choose 12MP over 8MP?

12MP (4480 x 2512) gives more pixels across the same wide scene, so you can zoom further into a recording. Full 12MP runs at up to 15fps; at 3072 x 1728 it runs at up to 25/30fps.

Does it record in colour at night?

Yes. Smart Dual Light uses IR until a target appears, then turns on warm light for colour video up to 30m. See our Smart Dual Light guide.

What does WizSense mean?

WizSense is Dahua's AI range, which focuses on humans and vehicles. Read more in our WizSense guide.

Does it record sound?

Yes. It has a built-in microphone, so it records sound with the video.

Is it a waterproof outdoor security camera?

Yes. Dahua rates it IP67 with an operating range of -40 to +60 degrees C, so it can be mounted outdoors.

Can it record without an NVR?

Dahua lists a microSD slot (up to 256GB) as well as FTP, SFTP and NAS storage.

Will it work with a non-Dahua recorder?

It supports ONVIF Profile S, G and T, so it can be added to compatible third-party recorders. Smart search works together with a Dahua Smart NVR.

How far can it see?

Dahua's DORI figures for the 2.8mm lens are above: 98.9m to detect a person and 9.9m to identify one.
