Dahua EPC245U-PTZ-IR — 2MP PTZ IP Camera
The Dahua EPC245U-PTZ-IR is a 2MP Starlight PTZ network camera with 45x optical zoom, H.265 compression and Intelligent Video System (IVS) analytics. It is built for demanding sites, with an ATEX and IECEx certified, IP68-rated 316L stainless steel housing that resists corrosion in outdoor and hazardous environments.
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. The EPC245U-PTZ-IR's 45x optical zoom and 200m IR range make it well suited to large, open sites such as ports, perimeters and industrial yards where one camera needs to cover long distances and track moving subjects. Its explosion-proof, anti-corrosion build also fits petrochemical, marine and other ATEX-rated installations rather than typical retail or office use.

Frequently asked questions
Will this camera work with a non-Dahua NVR?
Yes, the EPC245U-PTZ-IR supports ONVIF, so it can be added to most third-party NVR systems as well as Dahua recorders.
Does this camera need a separate power supply?
No — power is delivered over the same Ethernet cable as the video feed (PoE) from a compatible PoE NVR or switch, so a separate power supply is not normally required.
How much storage will I need?
Storage depends on resolution, frame rate, recording mode and the number of cameras on the system; for a 2MP camera recording continuously, a larger-capacity CCTV-rated hard drive is recommended — contact us for help sizing storage for your setup.
Is this camera suitable for hazardous areas?
Yes, the EPC245U-PTZ-IR is ATEX and IECEx certified with an IP68-rated 316L stainless steel housing, making it suitable for explosive or highly corrosive environments as well as standard outdoor installations.
