Dahua DH-IPC-HFW4230MP-4G-AS-I2-0360B-HW120-V2 - 2MP 4G IR Bullet Network Camera

Dahua DH-IPC-HFW4230MP-4G-AS-I2-0360B-HW120-V2 — 2MP Bullet IP Camera

The DH-IPC-HFW4230MP-4G-AS-I2-0360B-HW120-V2 is a 2MP IR bullet network camera from Dahua, built around a 1/2.9" progressive CMOS sensor with H.265 and H.264 dual-stream encoding. A 3.6mm fixed lens combines with IR illumination rated to 40m for reliable day/night image capture, and the IP67-rated housing is built to handle outdoor conditions.

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. This model additionally includes built-in 4G connectivity, so it can send footage over a mobile network where running network cable back to a recorder isn't practical — a temporary site, a remote gate, or a location without existing infrastructure. At 2MP it suits general perimeter and entrance monitoring rather than number-plate or face-detail capture at distance.

Key specification

What you will need

• A PoE NVR with matching 2MP resolution support to record and manage footage
• Cat5e/Cat6 cabling to the camera location if using the wired network connection (a 4G SIM card is required to use the built-in cellular option)
• A PoE switch where a run is long or branches to multiple 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 the ONVIF standard, so it can be added to most third-party NVR and VMS systems as well as Dahua recorders.

Does the camera need a separate power supply?

No — it's powered over the same Ethernet cable as its data connection (PoE) when used on a wired network. It does not need a separate power adapter for that connection.

How much storage will I need?

Storage depends on frame rate, compression and how many hours of footage you keep; H.265 encoding on this model roughly halves the storage needed compared with H.264 at the same quality.

Can it be used purely over 4G with no network cable at all?

Yes, with a suitable data SIM installed the camera can operate over the mobile network, making it useful for temporary or hard-to-cable locations.
