The Dahua DH-IPC-HFW5442EP-ZE-2712-ATC-S (IPC-HFW5442EP-ZE-2712-ATC-S without the DH- prefix) is a 4MP 2K WizMind AI PoE IP CCTV bullet camera with a 2.7-12mm motorised varifocal lens and IR up to 60m. Dahua's datasheet for the family, DH-IPC-HFW5442E-ZE, describes it as a 4MP IR vari-focal bullet WizMind network camera from the WizMind 5 Series. It pairs a 1/1.8-inch sensor with AI-ISP and 140 dB WDR with deep learning for perimeter protection, face detection, people counting, heat map and video metadata. With an IP67 and IK10 housing and an operating temperature of -30°C to +60°C it can be mounted outdoors.

Optional accessories from Dahua's datasheet that Zenith lists:
For recording, see our Dahua WizMind NVR range; Dahua says Smart Search works together with a Smart NVR. Related Dahua cameras: DH-IPC-HFW5241EP-ZE-27135 and the heater version DH-IPC-HFW5442HP-ZHE-2712F-DC12AC24V-ATC-S3.
Yes. The 2.7-12mm lens is a motorised vari-focal lens, so zoom and focus are adjustable without changing the lens.
Dahua describes WizMind as a full portfolio of project-oriented AI products that use deep learning algorithms. This camera adds video metadata, face detection, perimeter protection and people counting. See our WizMind guide.
Perimeter protection (intrusion, tripwire) classifies humans, vehicles and animals, and AcuPick can search recordings for people, animals and motor vehicles.
Yes. It supports tripwire people counting, people counting in an area and queue management, and reports can be generated and exported.
Micro SD cards up to 1TB. FTP, SFTP and NAS storage are also listed.
From 12 VDC, PoE (802.3af) or ePoE. Dahua advises disconnecting one source if the adapter and PoE are connected at the same time. Basic power use is 3.7 W on 12 VDC and 4.9 W on PoE.
Yes. Dahua lists an IP67 and IK10 housing and an operating temperature of -30°C to +60°C, and it runs from 12 VDC, PoE (802.3af) or ePoE.
The housing is rated IP67, with IK10 impact protection, in Dahua's listing.
Yes. It has 4 IR LEDs reaching up to 60m, and minimum illumination is 0 lux with the illuminator on.
