Dahua DH-IPC-HFW5541EP-ZE-27135-ATC-S3 - 5MP WizMind Bullet Network Camera

Dahua DH-IPC-HFW5541EP-ZE-27135-ATC-S3 — 5MP Bullet IP Camera

The Dahua DH-IPC-HFW5541EP-ZE-27135-ATC-S3 is a 5MP vari-focal bullet-style IP camera from Dahua's WizMind range, built for outdoor use with an IP67 and IK10 rated housing. Onboard WizMind AI with AcuPick 2.0 lets the camera search recorded footage by person, vehicle or animal, and it supports more than 8 AI functions for multi-scenario detection and analysis, alongside a built-in microphone for real-time audio.

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 5MP bullet camera suits retail units, warehouses, forecourts, car parks and residential perimeters where a fixed, weatherproof outdoor camera with an adjustable vari-focal lens is needed to frame a specific area precisely. Its WizMind AI analytics help cut false alerts by classifying people, vehicles and animals rather than triggering on any movement, and the IP67/IK10 rating means it can be mounted outdoors or in higher-risk locations without extra housing.

Key specification

What you will need

• A PoE NVR that supports 5MP recording, with enough free PoE ports and channels for this camera
• Cat5e or Cat6 cabling run from the camera position back to the NVR (or switch) location
• A PoE switch if the run is long or you need to branch to multiple cameras from one NVR
• Visible CCTV signage to meet GDPR/UK data protection requirements when covering public-facing areas

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 NVRs and VMS platforms that support ONVIF, though full AI analytics and search features are typically only available when paired with a Dahua or compatible WizMind NVR.

Does this camera need a separate power supply?

IP cameras in this range are typically powered over Ethernet (PoE) via the NVR or a PoE switch, so a separate power supply usually isn't needed. Confirm your NVR or switch has enough free PoE budget before adding this camera to an existing system.

How much storage will I need?

Storage depends on resolution, frame rate, compression, number of cameras and how many days of footage you want to retain. Our Wolverhampton trade counter can help size an NVR and hard drive to match this camera and your retention requirements.

Can I adjust the field of view after installation?

Yes — the vari-focal lens lets you fine-tune the zoom and field of view on site, which is useful when the exact mounting distance isn't confirmed until installation.
