Dahua DH-IPC-HDW2849TMP-S-IL-0280B-G - 8MP WizSense Eyeball Network Camera

Dahua DH-IPC-HDW2849TMP-S-IL-0280B-G — 8MP Eyeball IP Camera

The Dahua DH-IPC-HDW2849TMP-S-IL-0280B-G is an 8MP fixed-lens eyeball network camera from Dahua's WizSense range, built around Smart Dual Light illumination and on-board deep-learning analytics. With a 2.8mm lens for a wide general-purpose field of view, a built-in microphone and support for up to 256GB of onboard microSD storage, it is a compact all-rounder for entrances, retail floors and residential perimeters.

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 and analytics beyond what coax-based systems offer. Eyeball cameras like this one sit flush and low-profile, making them a good fit for shop entrances, reception areas, corridors and smaller residential installs where a discreet dome-style camera is preferred over a bullet. At 8MP it captures enough detail for wider-angle scenes such as a shop floor or driveway, while the built-in human and vehicle classification helps cut down false alerts from pets, shadows or moving foliage.

Key specification

What you will need

• A PoE NVR that supports 8MP recording — see our range of NVRs.
• Cat5e or Cat6 cabling to carry both power and video from the camera to the NVR.
• For longer runs or where you need to add several cameras on one cable route, a PoE switch extends your options.
• If installing in a public-facing or customer area, appropriate CCTV/GDPR signage.

Frequently asked questions

Will this camera work with a non-Dahua NVR?

Yes — it supports the ONVIF standard, so it can be added to most third-party NVR/VMS systems that support ONVIF, though for full access to Dahua-specific analytics we'd recommend pairing it with a Dahua NVR.

Does the camera need a separate power supply?

No — as a PoE camera it draws both power and data from a single Ethernet cable run to a PoE NVR or PoE switch, so no extra power supply is normally needed at the camera end.

How much storage will I need?

That depends on your recording settings, frame rate and number of cameras; the camera itself also accepts a microSD card of up to 256GB for local edge storage as a backup or standalone option.

What is WizSense?

WizSense is Dahua's range of cameras with built-in AI analytics such as human and vehicle classification, helping reduce false alerts from irrelevant motion.
