The Dahua DH-IPC-HFW5541EP-ZE-ATC-S3 is a 5MP 3K (2960 x 1668) WizMind AI varifocal bullet PoE IP CCTV camera with a motorised lens and IR night vision. It is part of Dahua's WizMind 5 Series (see also our WizMind guide), listed by Dahua as the IPC-HFW5541E-ZE, S3 generation. Deep-learning perimeter protection classifies people and vehicles, with face detection, people counting and video metadata, while AI-ISP and the built-in IR keep the picture clear at night. The housing is rated IP67 and IK10. Figures for the 2.7mm-13.5mm lens follow Dahua's DH-IPC-HFW5541E-ZE datasheet (5541-Z-S3 series).
Also listed as IPC-HFW5541EP-ZE-ATC-S3.
Pick the lens from the option above:
| Version | Lens | Horizontal view | IR distance | Identify (DORI) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DH-IPC-HFW5541EP-ZE-27135-ATC-S3 | 2.7mm-13.5mm | 114°-32° | Up to 60m | 6.4m (wide) to 21.0m (tele) |
| DH-IPC-HFW5541EP-ZE-735-ATC-S3 | 7mm-35mm | 31°-11° | Up to 120m | 21.4m (wide) to 57.3m (tele) |
The 2.7mm-13.5mm version suits car parks, yards, shop fronts and building perimeters where you want anything from a wide overview to a tighter view of a gate or entrance. The 7mm-35mm version is built for long views: driveways, long fence lines, loading bays and site entrances where you need to identify people well away from the camera. Dahua says perimeter protection based on target type largely reduces false alarms.

WizMind is Dahua's deep-learning range for project work. This camera sits in the WizMind S Series. Read our WizMind guide for what the range adds.
Choose 2.7mm-13.5mm for general site coverage: it zooms from a wide 114° view to 32°. Choose 7mm-35mm when the area you need to identify people in is 20m to 55m or more from the camera, such as a long driveway or fence line.
Yes. Dahua lists a motorised vari-focal lens, so zoom and focus are adjusted by motor and not by turning the lens by hand.
It supports ONVIF Profile S, G and T. Dahua says its refined intelligent search works together with a Dahua Smart NVR.
Yes. Dahua's datasheet lists alarm 2 in / 1 out and audio 1 in / 1 out, plus a built-in microphone.
Yes. Dahua lists a Micro SD card slot (up to 512GB on the 2.7mm-13.5mm model), plus FTP, SFTP and NAS storage.
Yes. The metal housing is rated IP67 and IK10 with an operating temperature of -30°C to +60°C, so it can be mounted outdoors.
Yes. The built-in IR LEDs reach up to 60m on the 2.7mm-13.5mm lens (120m on the 7mm-35mm lens), and AI-ISP with perimeter protection makes it a smart camera for people and vehicle alerts.
