01Overview
What the DH-IPC-HFW3541EP-SA-0280B is
The Dahua DH-IPC-HFW3541EP-SA-0280B 5MP AI Fixed-focal Bullet Camera delivers high-resolution surveillance with integrated deep learning algorithms for precise perimeter monitoring.
It provides reliable security for Australian homes and small businesses by focusing on human and vehicle movement.
It combines superior Starlight Features with an IP67-rated metal casing to ensure durability.
See it in action
What the DH-IPC-HFW3541EP-SA-0280B features actually look like
Representative illustrations of how each key feature performs in a real scene.
50m IR Night Vision
Built-in infrared sees in total darkness up to around 50m — good for longer driveways, car parks and wider properties. People and vehicles stay visible well beyond the reach of a porch light.
False Alarm Reduction
Filtering helps separate real activity from harmless movement like rain, leaves or pets, so you get fewer pointless notifications and the alerts that matter stand out.
Human/Vehicle Detection
Smart detection focuses on people and vehicles and can ignore things like swaying branches, rain or small animals — helping cut down false alerts and making the right moments easier to find.
IP67 Weatherproof
Sealed against dust and water to IP67, built to keep working through rain, storms and harsh sun — suitable for fully outdoor mounting.

04Why choose this
Built for the way you actually use the DH-IPC-HFW3541EP-SA-0280B
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.

08Questions
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.
