Dahua DHI-TPC-DF1241-TB3F4-DW-S8 - Thermal Mini Hybrid Eyeball Camera

Dahua DHI-TPC-DF1241-TB3F4-DW-S8: Thermal Imaging Camera, Hybrid Turret

The Dahua DHI-TPC-DF1241-TB3F4-DW-S8 (TPC-DF1241-TB3F4-DW-S8 without the DHI- prefix; Dahua's page is TPC-DF1241-T-S8) is a thermal imaging IP camera in Dahua's Eureka series: a thermal network mini hybrid eyeball (turret) camera that pairs a 256 x 192 vanadium oxide thermal sensor and 3.5mm lens with a 4MP visible camera and 4mm lens. The T version adds temperature measurement from -20°C to +550°C with 12 spot, 12 line and 12 area rules, plus heat detection and a built-in white light and audio alarm. It is the S8 generation, alongside the DHI-TPC-DF1241-TB3F4-DW-S2.

Also listed as TPC-DF1241-TB3F4-DW-S8.

Our part code for this camera is DHI-TPC-DF1241-TB3F4-DW-S8-V1.

Common questions

What type of camera is it?

It is a mini thermal camera for CCTV systems: a thermal CCTV camera that puts a thermal channel and a 4MP visible channel in one hybrid eyeball camera (turret). For night viewing the visible channel has 30m of IR illumination, so it also works as an infrared camera and night vision camera.

Can it measure temperature?

Yes. Dahua lists a temperature measurement range of -20°C to +550°C, with 12 spot, 12 line and 12 area rules at the same time and an accuracy of max (±2°C, ±2%).

How close does it need to be to measure temperature?

For the 3.5mm thermal lens, Dahua gives a temperature measurement distance of 1m to 5m with a 0.1m × 0.1m target. Heat detection reaches up to 45m with a 0.2m × 0.2m target.

Does it work in total darkness?

The thermal channel images heat, so it does not need light. The visible channel has 30m of IR illumination and a minimum illumination of 0 lux with IR on.

Can it be powered by PoE?

Yes. Dahua lists 12V DC ±20% or PoE, with a basic consumption of below 3W on 12V DC (3.5W on PoE) and a maximum of below 7W on 12V DC (9W on PoE) with the LED and heater on.

Does it have a built-in alarm?

Dahua lists a built-in white light and audio alarm, plus 2 alarm inputs and 2 alarm outputs.
