§ 01Overview
What the DH-IPC-HFW5442TP-ASE-0280B is
The Dahua DH-IPC-HFW5442TP-ASE is a 4MP WizMind Pro AI fixed bullet built on a large 1/1.8-inch sensor with Starlight+ low-light imaging and 140dB WDR, so it holds colour detail in near-darkness and balances strong backlight.
A fixed 2.8mm lens gives a wide view, and Smart IR reaches up to 80m for clear footage after dark.
WizMind deep-learning analytics run on the camera, adding face detection with attribute extraction, people counting, video metadata and perimeter protection that classifies humans, vehicles and animals.
AcuPick, with a compatible Dahua AI NVR, lets operators quickly match and find a person or vehicle across recorded video.
A built-in microphone records on-site audio, and an IP67 and IK10 metal housing suits exposed and semi-public positions, with PoE (802.3af) or ePoE for longer cable runs and microSD storage up to 1TB.
The fixed 2.8mm lens means you plan the position for the scene you need.

§ 04Why choose this
Built for the way you actually use the DH-IPC-HFW5442TP-ASE-0280B
Analytics on the camera
Face detection, people counting, video metadata and human, vehicle and animal classification run on-device, giving structured data without a dedicated AI server.
Faster investigations
With a compatible Dahua AI NVR, AcuPick lets operators quickly locate a person or vehicle across hours of recorded video, cutting review time.
Built for exposed positions
An IP67 and IK10 metal housing handles weather and impact on walls, eaves and semi-public frontages, with ePoE for longer runs.
§ 05Where it fits
Right at home in these scenarios
Commercial building perimeters
Wide 4MP coverage with strong low-light detail, in an IP67 and IK10 housing for exposed eave and wall positions year-round.
Retail and hospitality entries
Face detection and people counting add operational insight alongside security footage at monitored entries and exits.
Car parks and driveways
Human, vehicle and animal classification filters alerts by target type, and 80m Smart IR keeps approaching vehicles legible after dark.
Multi-site systems
On-device WizMind AI and Smart H.265+ keep infrastructure costs down when scaling across many positions on NVR-based systems.
§ 06Setup
Installation & setup
Plan the fixed-lens position
Because the 2.8mm lens is fixed, pick the mounting position and height to match the scene width you need. Confirm coverage before ordering, as it cannot be adjusted later without cropping the image.
Power over PoE, ePoE or 12V DC
Run PoE (802.3af) over a single cable, use ePoE for longer runs, or provide a 12V DC supply where PoE is unavailable.
Mount on wall or eave
Fix the bullet to a wall or eave, using a Dahua junction box such as the PFA130-E with a PFB204W bracket where surface cabling or extra clearance is needed.
Pair an AI NVR for AcuPick
To use AcuPick, connect the camera to a compatible Dahua AI NVR so target search runs across recorded video.
