Dahua DH-IPC-HDW2449TMP-S-IL-0280B-Grey - 4MP Smart Dual Light Eyeball Network Camera

Dahua DH-IPC-HDW2449TMP-S-IL-0280B-Grey — 4MP Eyeball IP Camera

The Dahua DH-IPC-HDW2449TMP-S-IL-0280B-Grey is a 4MP eyeball-style network camera fitted with a 2.80mm fixed lens. It uses Dahua's Smart Dual Light system, combining built-in IR and white LED illumination across three selectable modes, along with deep learning-based human and vehicle classification to help cut down on false alerts.

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. The DH-IPC-HDW2449TMP-S-IL-0280B-Grey suits general-purpose coverage indoors or out where clear 4MP detail, smart illumination and basic AI classification are wanted without stepping up to a larger multi-sensor or PTZ camera — a compact eyeball body that's easy to mount on a wall or ceiling.

Key specification

What you will need

• A PoE NVR that supports 4MP recording, with enough channels and storage for this camera
• Cat5e or Cat6 cable to carry both video and power from the camera to the NVR
• For longer runs or when splitting power to several cameras, a dedicated PoE switch between the camera and NVR
• If recording people in a public or work area, appropriate GDPR signage notifying that CCTV is in operation

Frequently asked questions

Will this camera work with a non-Dahua NVR?

Yes — the DH-IPC-HDW2449TMP-S-IL-0280B-Grey supports ONVIF, so it can be added to most third-party NVR and VMS systems, though some Dahua-specific features may only be available on a Dahua recorder.

Does it need a separate power supply?

No — as a PoE camera it draws power over the same Cat5e/Cat6 cable as the video signal when connected to a PoE NVR or PoE switch, so no separate power adapter is needed at the camera.

How much storage will I need?

Storage depends on recording settings, number of cameras and retention period. As a rough guide, higher resolution and continuous (rather than motion-only) recording will use more storage, so size your NVR's hard drive accordingly, or use the camera's own micro SD slot for local backup.

Can I use this camera outdoors?

Check the enclosure rating supplied with the unit before mounting outdoors in exposed locations; contact us if you need confirmation for this specific model.
