DAHUA DH-HAC-HFW1200THP-I8-0360B-S4 – 2MP HDCVI IR Bullet Camera
The DAHUA DH-HAC-HFW1200THP-I8-0360B-S4 is a high-performance 2MP HDCVI IR Bullet Camera designed to deliver reliable surveillance with full HD resolution, robust night vision, and versatile installation options. Built with Dahua’s advanced imaging technologies, this camera is engineered to provide clear, stable, and detailed monitoring in both day and night environments, making it suitable for a wide range of security applications.
Camera Performance
At its core, the camera is powered by a 1/2.7-inch CMOS image sensor, capable of producing a resolution of 1920 × 1080 (Full HD). With progressive scanning technology, every frame is sharp and distortion-free, even when capturing moving subjects. The sensor delivers an impressive signal-to-noise ratio greater than 65dB, ensuring clarity in diverse lighting conditions.
Its minimum illumination is rated at 0.02Lux at F1.9 (30IRE), allowing the camera to capture detailed images in very low-light environments. When lighting conditions fall to complete darkness, the built-in IR illuminators automatically activate, offering visibility at 0 Lux with IR on.
The fill light distance extends up to 80 meters (262.5 ft), supported by two high-intensity IR LEDs. This long-range infrared capability ensures effective monitoring over large open areas during the night, making it an ideal choice for outdoor perimeters, parking lots, warehouses, and industrial zones.
Pan, Tilt & Rotation
For flexible installation, the camera provides wide adjustment ranges:
- Pan: 0° to 360°
- Tilt: 0° to 180°
- Rotation: 0° to 360°
This adjustability ensures that the camera can be positioned to cover the exact field of view required in different mounting scenarios.
Lens Options
The DH-HAC-HFW1200THP-I8-0360B-S4 supports multiple fixed-focal lenses, including 2.8 mm, 3.6 mm, 6 mm, and 8 mm, all with a maximum aperture of F1.9. Each lens provides different field of view (FOV) options to suit varied monitoring needs:
- 2.8 mm: 119° diagonal / 101° horizontal / 54° vertical
- 3.6 mm: 100° diagonal / 84° horizontal / 45° vertical
- 6 mm: 60° diagonal / 56° horizontal / 30° vertical
- 8 mm: 46° diagonal / 40° horizontal / 22° vertical
The DORI distance model (Detect, Observe, Recognize, Identify) helps users choose the right lens for their environment. For example, with the 8 mm lens, the camera can detect up to 110.3 m (361.9 ft), recognize faces at 22.1 m (72.5 ft), and identify subjects at 11 m (36.1 ft), making it a powerful option for both close-range and long-range surveillance.
Video Capabilities
The camera supports multiple video formats, making it highly versatile:
- CVI: 1080p@25/30fps; 720p@25/30/50/60fps
- AHD: 1080p@25/30fps; 720p@25/30fps
- TVI: 1080p@25/30fps; 720p@25/30/50/60fps
- CVBS: 960H analog output
The ability to switch between CVI, TVI, AHD, and CVBS formats via a single BNC port allows the camera to integrate seamlessly with both modern and legacy systems.
Image Enhancements
The DH-HAC-HFW1200THP-I8-0360B-S4 incorporates multiple smart imaging technologies:
- BLC (Backlight Compensation) and HLC (Highlight Compensation) for balanced exposure in challenging lighting.
- DWDR (Digital Wide Dynamic Range) to handle high-contrast scenes.
- 2D Noise Reduction (2D NR) to reduce visual noise in low light.
- Smart IR for even IR illumination and prevention of overexposed close-up images.
- Electronic Defog to improve visibility in foggy or misty conditions.
- Privacy Masking (up to 8 zones) for sensitive areas.
Durability & Build
Constructed with a metal front cover, durable plastic main body, and metal bracket, the camera is rugged and reliable. It is rated IP67 weatherproof, offering complete protection against dust and water, ensuring year-round performance even in extreme environments.
The camera operates reliably in a wide temperature range of -40°C to +60°C (-40°F to 140°F) with less than 95% non-condensing humidity.
Power & Consumption
The unit is powered by a 12V DC ±30% supply, with a maximum consumption of 4.9W when IR is fully active, making it energy-efficient while delivering powerful illumination.
Certifications
The camera meets strict global standards, carrying CE, FCC, and UL certifications, ensuring safety, performance, and compliance for international deployments.
Dimensions & Weight
- Size: 240.7 mm × 90.7 mm × 90.4 mm (9.48″ × 3.57″ × 3.56″)
- Net Weight: 0.41 kg (0.90 lb)
- Gross Weight: 0.62 kg (1.37 lb)
This balance of compact design with robust performance makes installation simple without sacrificing durability.
