Description
The Dahua DH-IPC-HDBW5842RP-ASE-28B-S3 is an 8MP Low Light Dome camera from Dahua's WizMind S series, designed for high-quality video surveillance with 4K resolution, advanced image processing capabilities, and security options. This camera offers excellent low-light performance and is equipped with AI-based smart features. Here's a detailed overview of the camera's specifications, advantages, and disadvantages.
Specifications: 8MP CMOS Sensor:
The camera is equipped with a 1/1.8 inch 8 megapixel CMOS sensor, which produces 4K (3840 × 2160) resolution, meaning you can expect exceptional image quality with detailed, high-resolution images.
Video Compression:
The camera supports H.264 and H.265 compression formats, which ensures efficient video surveillance by minimizing bandwidth and storage requirements.
4 streams allow you to create different streaming options for various applications such as live viewing, recording and mobile access.
Image processing:
120 dB WDR (Wide Dynamic Range): This provides a wide dynamic range, resulting in sharp and detailed images, even in situations with strong light contrasts (such as bright sunlight and dark shadows).
Mechanical Day/Night Function (TDN): This feature automatically switches the camera between color mode during the day and black and white mode at night (using infrared or white illumination for nighttime).
3DNR (3D Noise Reduction): Reduces image noise, especially in low light, improving image quality.
AGC (Automatic Gain Control) and BLC (Backlight Compensation): Improve image brightness and contrast, even in challenging lighting conditions.
Lens and Visibility:
The camera has a 2.8mm lens, which provides a wide field of view, ideal for monitoring larger areas.
IR illumination up to 50 meters: This camera has powerful IR illumination for clear visibility in the dark, up to 50 meters away.
Light sensitivity:
The camera has a light sensitivity of 0.0004 lux, which means it performs well in extremely low light and can work in almost complete darkness using the built-in illuminator.
Storage options:
There is a Micro SD card slot that can store up to 256GB locally (card not included).
Smart Detection and AI Features:
The camera supports Intelligent Video Surveillance (IVS) and provides AI video metadata for advanced security capabilities.
Smart Sound Detection, Face Detection, Smart Object Detection, and People Counting are some of the intelligent features that can be used to detect specific events or activities.
Audio and Alarm Functionality:
1 audio input and 1 audio output (with built-in microphone), allowing you to make sound recordings or communicate via the camera.
1 alarm input and 1 alarm output offers the possibility to integrate the camera with other security systems.
Network and Power Options:
The camera supports PoE (Power over Ethernet) for easy installation, with both power and network connection supplied in a single cable.
Alternatively, the camera can be powered via ePoE or 12 VDC, providing additional installation flexibility.
Housing and Robustness:
IP67: The camera is waterproof and dustproof, making it suitable for outdoor use, even in harsh weather conditions.
IK10: The camera is vandal-resistant, which means it can withstand physical damage, such as from vandals.
Advantages:
Excellent low-light performance:
Thanks to its 0.0004 lux light sensitivity and IR illumination up to 50 meters, the camera delivers excellent performance in the dark, enabling color images in extremely low light.
High-quality image:
The 8MP sensor offers 4K resolution for superior image clarity and detailed images, ideal for capturing fine details such as faces or license plates.
WDR functionality (120 dB):
120 dB WDR ensures that the camera produces detailed and well-exposed images even in scenes with extreme lighting conditions (such as bright sunlight and shadows).
Smart security features:
With AI functionalities such as face detection, smart object detection, people counting, and smart sound detection, the camera offers advanced capabilities for intelligent security applications.
Robust and suitable for outdoor use:
The camera has an IP67 certification, which means it is completely resistant to dust and water, and can be used in various weather conditions.
IK10 protection makes the camera resistant to vandalism, making it ideal for high-risk locations.
Flexible installation options:
PoE simplifies installation, as both power and network can be supplied through a single cable. The camera can also be powered via ePoE or 12 VDC.
