Dahua HAC-HUM3201B - 2MP 1080p Starlight HDCVI Mini Pinhole CCTV Camera

Dahua HAC-HUM3201B — 2MP 1080p Starlight HDCVI Pinhole CCTV Camera

The Dahua HAC-HUM3201B is a 2MP (1080p) Starlight HDCVI pinhole CCTV camera in Dahua's Micro-size series, with a 3.6mm fixed lens. HDCVI sends high-definition video down standard coaxial cable rather than network cable. Starlight imaging is aimed at low light scenes, 120dB true WDR balances bright and dark areas, and HD and SD output are switchable. The compact miniature body is designed for discreet installations. At 35.5 mm × 29.9 mm × 22.1 mm it is a small CCTV camera and a mini CCTV camera, and as part of Dahua's Micro-size series it is also a micro camera.

Also listed as DH-HAC-HUM3201B.

Key features

• Starlight low light imaging: Dahua says the starlight feature captures more detail and recognises colour accurately at night or in scenes with limited light.
• 120dB true WDR and 3DNR.
• 2MP, up to 30fps at 1080p.
• HD and SD output switchable through one BNC output, including CVBS for older analogue recorders.
• 3.6mm fixed lens (2.8mm optional).
• Powered by 12V DC.

Technical specification

What you will need

• A Dahua XVR recorder. HDCVI cameras need an HDCVI-capable recorder. Dahua’s Penta-brid XVRs accept HDCVI, AHD, TVI, CVBS analogue and IP on the same box, so you can mix old and new cameras while you upgrade in stages.
• RG59 coax and 12V power to each camera. Pre-made shotgun cable carries both in one run and is the quickest way to install.
• A multi-way 12V power supply if you are running several cameras — the recorder does not power them, unlike PoE on an IP system.
• A surveillance-grade hard drive in the recorder, sized for how many days of footage you need to keep.

HDCVI or IP?

Choose HDCVI when coax already exists, when runs are very long, or when you want the simplest possible system. Choose IP when you are cabling from scratch, want the highest resolutions, or want a single cable per camera carrying both power and video. Both record locally with no subscription.

Common questions

What does Starlight mean?

Dahua says the starlight feature lets the camera capture more detail and recognise colour accurately at night or in scenes with limited light. See our guide to Dahua Starlight low-light cameras.

Is it a 1080p camera?

Yes. It is a 2MP camera with up to 30fps at 1080p, and the output is HD and SD switchable.

Will this work with my existing recorder?

Only if the recorder supports HDCVI. Most Dahua XVRs auto-detect the camera type per channel. Tell us your recorder model and we will confirm. See our guide to Dahua HDCVI cameras and to Dahua Penta-brid recorders.

Can I mix it with my old analogue cameras?

Yes — a Penta-brid XVR takes analogue and HD cameras on different channels at the same time, so you can replace cameras gradually.

Do I need to run new cable?

Usually not. If the existing coax is sound, it will carry the HD signal.

How is it powered?

It runs from 12V DC. The recorder does not power it, so you need a 12V power supply.
