When it comes to protecting your property, clarity, durability, and reliable performance are non-negotiable.

Built with Dahua’s proven technology, this 2MP outdoor bullet camera is engineered to provide sharp video quality, intelligent monitoring features, and seamless integration with modern security systems.

High-Quality Full HD Imaging

At the heart of the camera is a 1/2.8″ CMOS sensor with a resolution of 2 megapixels (1920 × 1080). This ensures clear and detailed footage, whether you’re monitoring a home, office, shop, or warehouse. The fixed 2.8 mm lens offers a wide 102° viewing angle, covering large areas with minimal blind spots. The camera supports a main stream recording at 1080p and 25 fps, as well as a sub stream at D1 resolution, ensuring efficient bandwidth use without compromising quality.

Powerful Night Vision up to 30m

Security doesn’t stop when the sun goes down. The HFW1230S-S5 features advanced infrared (IR) illumination with a range of up to 30 meters, providing clear black-and-white imaging in complete darkness. Thanks to the ICR (Infrared Cut Filter) day/night mode, the camera automatically adjusts to lighting conditions, ensuring accurate color reproduction during the day and enhanced IR performance at night. With a low light sensitivity of 0.01 Lux @ F2.0, it performs well even in dimly lit environments.

Smart Video Features

Beyond just recording, this IP camera is equipped with intelligent features designed to enhance monitoring efficiency:

• Motion Detection – Alerts you instantly when movement is detected.
• 3D-DNR (Digital Noise Reduction) – Reduces image noise for clear footage in low light.
• BLC (Back Light Compensation) – Adjusts exposure to handle scenes with strong light contrast.

• DWDR (Digital Wide Dynamic Range) – Improves visibility in scenes with both bright and dark areas.
• ROI (Region of Interest) – Focuses on key areas to optimize bandwidth and storage.
