Install Tips
- Use the 2.8mm lens for wide-area coverage; 6mm for focused views (e.g. gates).
- Ideal mounting height is between 2.5–4 meters for accurate face detection.
- Activate perimeter protection zones via Dahua NVR or DMSS app.
- For PoE installations, use a compatible 802.3af injector or switch.
- Enable audio via web interface if mic is not active by default.
-
MicroSD card is ideal for short-term recording or as NVR backup.

Extra Info
Face Detection – AI-Powered Identity Recognition
Powered by advanced deep-learning algorithms, this camera can detect, track, and capture facial snapshots in real-time. It also gathers facial metadata such as age, gender, expression, and face angle, enabling smarter event filtering and targeted surveillance. Users can configure the system to prioritize high-quality snapshots or filter faces based on orientation, making it ideal for access points, attendance systems, or targeted monitoring in high-traffic areas.
Perimeter Protection – Accurate, AI-Enhanced Alerts
Equipped with Dahua’s intelligent perimeter protection features, the camera supports tripwire, intrusion detection, loitering alerts, and object classification (distinguishing humans from vehicles). These features significantly reduce false alarms by ensuring alerts are only triggered by relevant motion — perfect for securing fences, gates, facility entrances, and sensitive boundary zones where response time is critical.
People Counting – Business Intelligence from Foot Traffic
This feature enables the camera to count people entering, exiting, or dwelling within a specific zone. Useful for gathering operational data in retail stores, events, transportation hubs, and corporate lobbies, it helps organizations monitor crowd density, optimize staffing, comply with occupancy regulations, or generate business reports. Counts can be exported and analyzed daily, monthly, or yearly.
Smart Codec & Video Performance – Streamlined and Flexible
With support for Smart H.265+ compression, the camera efficiently reduces bitrate and storage use while maintaining video clarity. It also offers three simultaneous video streams, allowing for flexible recording and live viewing options — such as sending high-resolution footage to an NVR while streaming a lower-resolution feed to mobile or cloud services.
Reliable Housing – Built to Withstand the Elements
Constructed with a full metal enclosure, the camera is designed for long-term durability. It carries IK10 vandal resistance to endure physical impact and IP67 weatherproof certification to protect against rain, dust, and harsh outdoor conditions. This rugged build ensures stable performance in public spaces, perimeter walls, and exposed environments.
Flexible Storage – Multiple Options for Data Retention
The camera supports hybrid storage configurations, including up to 256GB microSD card storage for local backup, Dahua Cloud, FTP, and NAS (Network Attached Storage). This versatility allows users to tailor recording setups based on their infrastructure — ensuring continuous footage is captured even if the network temporarily fails.
While the DH-IPC-HDBW5541R-ASE does not feature built-in AcuPick, it supports AcuPick search functions when connected to an AI-capable Dahua NVR. The camera sends AI metadata (e.g., face detection, people counting, perimeter classifications) that the NVR uses for smart filtering and playback search.
Benefits via AI NVR Integration:
- Search by human or vehicle presence
- Filter playback using traits like mask, gender, or clothing
- Skip irrelevant footage and jump to key events instantly
- Use AI-driven logs and smart snapshots from camera metadata
Q&A
Q: Can this record in color at night?
A: No, it uses IR illumination for black-and-white night vision up to 50 meters.
Q: Does this camera have a siren or flashing lights?
A: No. This model does not include active deterrence features like lights or sirens.
Q: Will it work with other NVR brands?
A: Yes. It supports ONVIF (Profiles S/G/T), making it compatible with most third-party NVRs.
Q: Can I listen and talk through the camera?
A: It has a built-in mic and audio input/output, but two-way talk depends on your NVR or software setup.
Q: What’s the difference between this and a TiOC model?
A: TiOC models include active deterrence features like red/blue lights and sirens. This camera focuses on analytics and durability.
Q: How much recording can a 256GB card store?
A: Depending on bitrate and settings, roughly 1–2 weeks of continuous recording.
Q: Can I use this without an NVR?
A: Yes. With a microSD card installed, it can record independently for local playback via the app or browser.
