The Dahua DH-IPC-HDW3541EM-S-S2 5MP WizSense Network Camera is a professional AI-powered IP security camera featuring 5MP high-resolution video, SMD 4.0 human and vehicle classification, 50m infrared night vision, 120dB WDR, built-in microphone, PoE connectivity and IP67 weather protection. Designed for intelligent CCTV surveillance, it combines Dahua WizSense deep-learning technology with efficient H.265+/AI video encoding for reliable monitoring while helping reduce unnecessary alarms, network bandwidth and storage requirements.
Built around a 1/2.7" CMOS sensor, the DH-IPC-HDW3541EM-S-S2 delivers a maximum resolution of 2960 × 1668 at up to 20 fps, while 4MP 2688 × 1520 operation supports up to 25/30 fps. Its F1.4 fixed-focal lens and Starlight-oriented low-light performance provide detailed surveillance footage across challenging lighting environments.

Dahua's SMD 4.0 Smart Motion Detection uses intelligent algorithms to distinguish human and vehicle targets from other motion sources, helping minimise unwanted alerts. Perimeter Protection further supports Tripwire and Intrusion detection with human/vehicle classification. When paired with a compatible AI NVR, Quick Pick can assist with locating human and vehicle targets in SMD event recordings.
For changing environmental conditions, AI SSA (AI Scene Self-adaptation) uses deep-learning algorithms to recognise conditions such as low light, backlight, rain, fog and flicker and adjust image parameters accordingly. Image enhancement capabilities also include 120dB WDR, BLC, HLC, 3D noise reduction, Defog, ROI and privacy masking.

What's Included in the Box
Optional Compatible Accessories
Dahua lists the PFA139 Junction Box, PFB204W Wall Mount, PFA106 Ceiling Mount/adapter, PFB220C Ceiling Mount, PFA152-E Pole Mount, PFM321D 12V DC 1A Power Adapter, PFM900-E Integrated Mount Tester and TF-P100 TLC SD Card as optional accessories for this model.
Practical Use Scenarios
The DH-IPC-HDW3541EM-S-S2 is well suited to residential CCTV systems, including entrances, driveways, garages and perimeter areas where human/vehicle filtering can help reduce irrelevant motion alerts.
For retail stores and commercial premises, 5MP imaging, built-in audio capture and intelligent perimeter monitoring make it suitable for entrances, loading areas, stock areas and external building surveillance.
It can also be deployed around warehouses, workshops and industrial properties, with its IP67 metal enclosure and broad specified operating-temperature range supporting demanding environmental conditions.
For car parks and access areas, human/vehicle classification, Tripwire and Intrusion analytics provide more targeted event detection than conventional pixel-based motion detection alone.
Warranty Information
Warranty duration and coverage can vary by distributor, reseller and market. The supplied Dahua datasheet does not specify a warranty period, so warranty terms should be stated according to the authorised supply channel used for this product.
