Dahua HAC-ME1809HP-A-PV-S2 - 8MP 4K TiOC Smart Dual Light HDCVI Eyeball CCTV Camera

Dahua HAC-ME1809HP-A-PV-S2 — 8MP 4K TiOC Smart Dual Light HDCVI Eyeball Turret CCTV Camera

The Dahua HAC-ME1809HP-A-PV-S2 is an 8MP 4K HDCVI eyeball (turret) camera from Dahua's TiOC Active Deterrence range. It records 3840 x 2160 at up to 15fps over coax, and comes with a 2.8mm lens (106 degrees horizontal) or a 3.6mm lens (85 degrees), so it suits upgrading an existing coax system to 4K without rewiring.

Two IR LEDs and two warm light LEDs each reach up to 40m. When an AI XVR's Perimeter Protection or SMD Plus spots a target in the rule area, the camera switches to warm light for colour footage, then goes back to IR when the target leaves. It can also flash red and blue lights and sound a 110dB siren with five audio clips, and it has a 1-channel alarm output.

A built-in microphone sends audio over the same coax cable. Video output switches between CVI, TVI, AHD and CVBS on one BNC port. The metal housing is IP67 rated for -40 to +60 degrees C, and power is 12V DC (plus or minus 30%) with a maximum of 10.45W with IR on.

Common questions

What does TiOC mean?

TiOC is the name Dahua uses for its active deterrence cameras, which warn off intruders with lights and sound as well as recording. See our guide to Dahua TiOC active deterrence cameras.

Which lens should I choose?

Choose 2.8mm for the widest view (106° horizontal) on gardens, yards and entrances. Choose 3.6mm (85°) for a little more detail at distance, such as down a driveway.

Can I choose what the siren says?

The camera has five audio clips: a general alarm, "No parking here", "Private land, no entry", "Warning zone, keep off" and "Welcome". Volume (high, medium or low) and duration (5 to 60 seconds) can be set, and the siren reaches 110 dB.

What does Smart Dual Light do?

Dahua says the camera turns on its white light when the Perimeter Protection or SMD Plus function of an AI XVR detects a target in the rule area, then switches back to IR when the target leaves, which reduces light pollution. See our guide to Dahua Smart Dual Light cameras.

Which recorder do I need?

An HDCVI-compatible recorder. Dahua says the XVR firmware must be V4.001.0000004.1.R.220323 or later to use the Smart Dual Light HDCVI camera, and an AI XVR is needed for Perimeter Protection or SMD Plus. Our guide to Dahua Penta-brid recorders covers recorders that take several camera formats.

How is it powered?

From 12V DC (±30%). Dahua recommends a power adapter for each camera, and the camera uses up to 10.45 W with IR on.

Does it record colour at night?

With the warm light on it records in colour up to 40m, or you can use IR for black and white night video.

Does the HAC-ME1809HP-A-PV-S2 record sound?

Yes. It has one built-in microphone, and the audio is carried over the coaxial cable with the video, so no separate audio cable is needed.

Will it work with a non-Dahua recorder?

The output can be switched between CVI, TVI, AHD and CVBS on one BNC port, so it can connect to recorders that accept one of those formats. Smart Dual Light needs a Dahua AI XVR with Perimeter Protection or SMD Plus.

Where can it be mounted?

Dahua lists wall, ceiling and vertical pole mounting. Optional Dahua accessories include the PFA130-E junction box, PFA152-E pole mount, PFB203W wall mount and PFB220C ceiling mount.
