Dahua DH-IPC-HFW5541TP-ASE-0280B-ATC-S3 - 5MP WizMind Bullet Network Camera

Dahua DH-IPC-HFW5541TP-ASE-0280B-ATC-S3 — 5MP Bullet IP Camera

The Dahua DH-IPC-HFW5541TP-ASE-0280B-ATC-S3 is a 5MP fixed-focal bullet network camera from Dahua's WizMind range, combining AI-ISP image processing with AcuPick 2.0 analytics for fast human, vehicle and animal search. It supports over 8 AI functions for multi-scenario detection, has a built-in microphone for real-time audio security, and is rated IP67 and IK10 for durable outdoor and vandal-resistant use.

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 perimeter and entrance monitoring where a rugged, weatherproof housing and clear sightlines matter, such as car parks, yards, warehouse exteriors and building perimeters. Its AI-based human, vehicle and animal detection helps cut false alerts on sites that need a straightforward, install-and-forget outdoor camera rather than a fully steerable PTZ.

Key specification

What you will need

• A PoE NVR with 5MP recording support to power and record this camera — see our NVRs range.
• Cat5e or Cat6 cabling to carry both video and power to the camera over a single run.
• For longer runs or several cameras branching from one point, a PoE switch keeps the install clean.
• As this camera has a built-in microphone, check local GDPR/audio recording signage requirements before enabling audio capture.

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 NVR and VMS systems, though some Dahua-specific AI features may only be available with a Dahua NVR.

Does it need a separate power supply?

No — as a PoE camera it draws power over the same Cat5e/Cat6 cable as its video and data connection, from a PoE NVR or PoE switch.

How much storage will I need?

Storage depends on resolution, frame rate, number of cameras and how long you want to retain footage; our team can help size a suitable NVR and hard drive for your setup.

Is this camera suitable for outdoor use?

Yes — its IP67 rating protects against dust and water ingress, and the IK10 rating gives it strong resistance to impact and vandalism, making it suitable for exposed outdoor locations.
