Extra Info
Face Detection with Deep Learning
Equipped with advanced AI facial recognition technology, this camera can detect and capture faces in real time, even in dynamic scenes. It supports trigger-based actions like alert notifications, facial snapshots, and recordings when a human face is detected—perfect for access control points, retail analytics, staff attendance monitoring, and security escalation workflows.
Advanced People Counting – Multi-Zone Precision
Designed to handle high-traffic environments, the camera supports people counting for up to four independent entrances and detection zones. It accurately measures entry, exit, and dwell time, enabling real-time occupancy tracking, trend reporting, and space utilization optimization — ideal for retail outlets, campuses, transport hubs, or event venues.
Perimeter AI Protection – Smarter Virtual Boundaries
With integrated AI-powered video analytics, the camera goes beyond basic motion detection. It supports:
- Tripwire crossing
- Intrusion into restricted areas
- Loitering detection
- Parking violation detection
- Crowd density monitoring
These intelligent features use human/vehicle classification to dramatically reduce false alarms from irrelevant movement like shadows, small animals, or swaying trees — providing high-confidence alerts for real threats.
140 dB WDR + Starlight – Ready for Extreme Lighting
The powerful 1/1.8” CMOS sensor is enhanced with 140 dB Wide Dynamic Range, allowing it to balance bright backlighting and dark shadows simultaneously. Combined with Starlight low-light imaging, it maintains clear, full-color visuals well into dusk or dimly lit indoor/outdoor transitions—ideal for storefronts, lobbies, and warehouse bays.
Smart Codec with Triple Stream
Supports Smart H.265+ and H.264+ video compression, intelligently adjusting bitrate to reduce file size while preserving visual clarity. With triple streaming, the camera offers simultaneous feeds for local recording, live viewing, and remote access, providing maximum flexibility in hybrid surveillance setups.
Built for All Environments
Constructed with a metal casing, rated IP67 for water and dust resistance, and capable of operating in extreme temperatures, this camera is well-suited for indoor and outdoor deployments. Whether it’s mounted in a high-traffic school hallway, exposed rooftop, or industrial gate, it delivers year-round reliability in any climate.
While the DH-IPC-HDW5442TM-AS doesn’t feature built-in AcuPick, it supports AcuPick when paired with a compatible AI NVR. The camera’s smart metadata (e.g., face detection, people counting) can be used for advanced search, filtering, and smart playback through the NVR.
Q&A
Q: Can this camera detect and count people?
A: Yes. It supports entrance/exit counting, queue detection, and region-based crowd statistics.
Q: Will this record faces or just detect them?
A: It can do both. The camera captures face snapshots and supports real-time facial detection.
Q: How far can it see in total darkness?
A: Up to 50 meters using Smart IR illumination.
Q: Is the microphone built in or separate?
A: It has a built-in microphone for real-time audio capture.
Q: What lens option should I choose?
A: 2.8mm is best for wide-angle coverage, 3.6mm for standard, and 6.0mm for focused, long-distance views.
Q: Does it support remote access on mobile?
A: Yes. You can view live and recorded footage via the Dahua DMSS app.
Q: Can this integrate with other NVRs?
A: Yes. It supports ONVIF protocols for third-party NVR integration.
Q: How durable is this camera outdoors?
A: With IP67 and wide voltage support, it's designed for harsh outdoor conditions.
