Dahua DH-IPC-EW5541P-AS - 5MP WizMind Fisheye Network Camera

Dahua DH-IPC-EW5541P-AS — 5MP Fisheye IP Camera

The Dahua DH-IPC-EW5541P-AS is a 5MP WizMind fisheye network camera that captures a full panoramic view from a single mounting point, outputting up to 2592 × 1944 resolution at 30fps. Built-in IR illumination extends useful vision to 10m in low light, while 120dB WDR keeps detail visible in strong backlight and a built-in microphone adds real-time audio capture. Onboard people counting brings customer traffic analytics without extra hardware.

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 EW5541P-AS's single-lens panoramic coverage suits retail floors, receptions, warehouses and open-plan offices where one ceiling-mounted camera needs to replace several fixed-angle units. Its people-counting function also makes it a good fit for retailers tracking footfall as well as general wide-area security monitoring.

Key specification

What you will need

• A PoE NVR with 5MP-capable channels to record and manage this camera — see our NVRs
• Cat5e/Cat6 cabling to carry video and power from the camera to the NVR in a single run
• A PoE switch if you need to extend cable runs or branch out to multiple cameras
• GDPR-compliant signage where the camera covers public-facing or customer areas, given its people-counting function

Frequently asked questions

Will this camera work with a non-Dahua NVR?

Yes. The DH-IPC-EW5541P-AS supports ONVIF, so it can be added to most third-party NVR and VMS systems as well as Dahua recorders.

Does the camera need a separate power supply?

No, provided your NVR or switch supplies PoE. If you are not using PoE, a separate 12V DC power supply is needed instead.

How much storage will I need for 5MP recording?

5MP footage uses more storage than standard 2MP cameras, so we recommend sizing your NVR's hard drive around your expected number of cameras, resolution and retention period — ask our team for guidance.

Where should this camera be mounted?

As a fisheye model, it is designed for a central ceiling mount so its single lens can cover the full room or area below it.
