The Dahua DH-IPC-HDW5442T-ZE 4MP WizMind AI Network Camera is a professional-grade IP surveillance camera featuring a 4MP 1/1.8" CMOS sensor, motorised 2.7–12 mm vari-focal lens, up to 40 m infrared night vision, 140 dB WDR, SMD 3.0, AcuPick, AI-powered perimeter protection, face detection and people counting. With PoE/ePoE connectivity, IP67 weather protection and support for up to a 1 TB MicroSD card, the DH-IPC-HDW5442T-ZE is designed for advanced commercial and professional video surveillance installations.
Powered by Dahua's deep-learning WizMind platform, the camera provides sophisticated video analytics including intrusion and tripwire detection, fast-moving target detection, loitering, people gathering and parking detection. Human, animal and vehicle classification helps improve event accuracy and reduce unwanted alarms.
The motorised 2.7–12 mm vari-focal lens provides a horizontal field of view from approximately 115° to 47°, allowing installers to remotely adjust the viewing angle for wide-area coverage or more targeted monitoring. Its F1.8 aperture and low-light imaging capabilities are complemented by dual IR LEDs delivering illumination up to 40 metres. The camera outputs up to 2688 × 1520 at 25/30 fps, while 1080p operation supports up to 50/60 fps.
