§ 04Why choose this

Built for the way you actually use the DH-IPC-HFW3541EP-SA-0280B

5 MP with SMD — Lite AI

Smart Motion Detection separates people and vehicles from other motion. AI at an affordable price point.

50 m IR Night Vision

Longer range than most 5 MP bullets. Covers driveways and fence runs.

Starlight Low-Light Sensor

Clear colour footage before IR activates. Good for areas with some ambient light.

Built-in Mic + Alarm I/O

Audio recording and external sensor integration. The SA suffix indicates full alarm and audio ports.

IP67 Weatherproof

Sealed for outdoor use.

§ 05Where it fits

Right at home in these scenarios

Driveway or Fence Line

50 m IR covers a long run. SMD alerts only on people and vehicles — not cats.

Warehouse Perimeter

Alarm I/O connects to a gate contact or external siren. 5 MP captures detail.

Small Commercial Entry

Mic records conversations. SMD sends smart alerts to your phone.

Budget Multi-Camera System

5 MP with basic AI at a price that works for 8+ camera setups.

§ 07Questions

Frequently asked about the DH-IPC-HFW3541EP-SA-0280B

Q.01

What is the SA suffix?

SA means full alarm and audio I/O: alarm 1 in / 1 out, audio 1 in / 1 out, plus built-in mic.

Q.02

Does it have colour night vision?

No. IR only. For colour night vision, step up to a dual-light or TiOC model.

Q.03

Is 5 MP at 2.8 mm enough for plates?

2.8 mm gives a wide ~100° view. For plate detail at distance, a 4 mm lens or motorised zoom is better.

Q.04

Does it support AcuPick?

No. The 3541EP is an older WizSense model with SMD but without AcuPick. For AcuPick, look at the 3667EM or 3866EP series.

Q.05

What SD card does it support?

Up to 256 GB microSD.
