Dahua DH-IPC-HDW5442TMP-AS-LED-0280B - 4MP WizMind Turret Network Camera

Dahua DH-IPC-HDW5442TMP-AS-LED-0280B — 4MP Turret IP Camera

The DH-IPC-HDW5442TMP-AS-LED-0280B is part of Dahua's WizMind range, a 4MP turret-style network camera built around a 1/1.8" progressive scan CMOS sensor with a fixed 2.8mm lens for wide-angle coverage. It records up to 2688 x 1520 at 25/30fps (or 1080P at 50/60fps), with 140dB WDR, electronic day/night switching, 3D DNR, AWB, AGC and BLC to keep footage usable as light changes. A built-in white light LED illuminator, microphone and Micro SD card slot are built into the IP67-rated housing.

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 a fixed 2.8mm lens, this turret suits general-purpose coverage of entrances, car parks, yards and retail floors, where a compact, vandal-resistant dome-style unit with built-in white light illumination is preferred over a bullet camera. The Micro SD slot also allows it to record locally on smaller sites that don't yet run a full NVR.

Key specification

What you will need

• A PoE NVR that supports 4MP recording — see our NVRs
• Cat5e/Cat6 cable run from the camera to the NVR (or switch) — this carries both video and PoE power on one cable
• For long runs, multiple cameras, or branching cable runs, add a PoE switch to power and connect this camera to the network
• Appropriate GDPR/CCTV signage where this camera covers a public or shared area

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 as a generic ONVIF camera, though you get the fullest feature set pairing it with a Dahua NVR.

Does this camera need a separate power supply?

No — powered over PoE from a compatible NVR or switch it needs no separate power supply; without PoE you would need a 12V DC power supply instead.

How much storage will I need?

This depends on frame rate, compression and how many cameras record continuously; as a guide, a single 4MP camera on H.265+ typically needs a few GB per day, and we can help size an NVR and hard drive for your channel count.

Can I use the built-in Micro SD card instead of an NVR?

Yes, the Micro SD slot allows local recording without an NVR, though an NVR is recommended for multi-camera systems, longer retention and remote viewing.
