Extra Info
Lens Options & Coverage
- 2.8 mm (113° H FOV) – Wide area coverage
- 3.6 mm (89° H FOV) – Balanced indoor/outdoor view
- 6.0 mm (56° H FOV) – Ideal for narrow, distant objects
Smart IR Details
The camera uses Smart IR to avoid overexposing nearby objects at night while maintaining clarity at longer ranges up to 50 meters.
Advanced Queue Management
Up to 4 queue zones can be configured with dwell time alerts. This is useful for banks, counters, or checkouts with waiting lines.
Facial Snapshot Optimization
Capture quality is enhanced with filters like face angle filtering, real-time or optimized snapshots, and exposure control.
Flexible Streaming
Supports Triple Stream, allowing you to view in low resolution on mobile while recording in high resolution to NVR.
Data Storage
Supports MicroSD (up to 256GB) and external recording via NAS/FTP/Dahua Cloud.
ePoE & Coax Conversion
Use Dahua LR1002 for transmitting both power and data over legacy coaxial cable—ideal for upgrading old analog systems.
While the DH-IPC-HDBW5442R‑ASE lacks onboard AcuPick processing, it fully supports AcuPick functionality when connected to a compatible Dahua AI‑capable NVR (5‑Series or 6‑Series). The camera sends rich AI metadata—such as face detection, people counting, and perimeter events—to the NVR, where AcuPick lets you search video intelligently.
Benefits with AI NVR Integration:
- Search footage by human or vehicle presence
-
Refine results using visual attributes (clothing color, vehicle type, etc.)
- Bypass irrelevant recordings and jump directly to key events
- Review AI‑driven logs and snapshots for efficient incident analysis
- Supports advanced search options like tripwire/intrusion pre-search and trajectory mapping
