Dahua DH-IPC-HFW3541TP-ZS-27135 5MP Lite AI Motorised Starlight Bullet, Perimeter, SMD WDR, IR60m

SKU: DH-IPC-HFW3541TP-ZS-27135
Description

The Dahua DH-IPC-HFW3541TP-ZS is a 5MP WizSense bullet camera with a motorised 2.7-13.5mm zoom lens and up to 60 metres of infrared. SMD 4.0 deep learning classifies people and vehicles, so alerts and recorded events focus on real activity rather than animals, rain or moving foliage, and the motorised lens lets you set the exact field of view remotely.

§ 01Overview

What the DH-IPC-HFW3541TP-ZS-27135 is

The Dahua DH-IPC-HFW3541TP-ZS is a 5MP WizSense bullet camera built around a motorised 2.7-13.5mm vari-focal lens, so you can zoom and focus the view from the app or NVR instead of climbing back up to adjust a fixed lens.

Wide, it watches a whole yard; zoomed in, it reaches a gate or driveway entrance, identifying a person at about 21 metres at the tele end on the DORI scale.

SMD 4.0 is the headline feature.

Dahua's smart motion detection classifies people and vehicles and ignores other movement, so possums, insects, rain and swaying branches stop triggering your phone, and footage becomes searchable by human or vehicle events.

With a Dahua AI NVR, Quick Pick lets you pull those targets straight out of recorded SMD events.

A 1/2.7" Starlight sensor keeps colour usable in low light, and up to 60 metres of infrared covers the scene in black and white once it is fully dark.

It has a built-in microphone for audio context, a microSD slot up to 256GB for on-board recording, and an IP67 metal housing (IK10 optional) with wide-voltage tolerance for unstable outdoor supplies.

It runs on 12V DC or PoE (802.3af) over a single Cat5e/6 cable and is normally fitted by a security or cabling technician.

60m IR Night Vision

Built-in infrared sees in total darkness up to around 60m, covering long driveways and large properties. Even well away from the house, people and vehicles remain clear in black-and-white.

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-HFW3541TP-ZS-27135

Set the view remotely

A motorised 2.7-13.5mm lens lets you zoom and focus from the app, so you frame a yard or a distant gate without going back up the ladder.

Alerts on what matters

SMD 4.0 classifies people and vehicles, so animals, rain and moving branches stop triggering alerts and footage stays searchable by event type.

Clear in low light

A 1/2.7" Starlight sensor and 60m infrared keep usable images from dusk into full darkness across a driveway or yard.

Backed locally

Supplied by an authorised dealer with a 3-year Australian warranty and support.

§ 05Where it fits

Right at home in these scenarios

Driveways and front yards

Zoom the lens to frame the approach exactly, with AI alerts aimed at people and vehicles rather than wildlife.

Boundaries and fence lines

60m IR and perimeter protection watch a long boundary at night and flag intruders, not blowing rubbish.

Carparks and laneways

The motorised tele end reaches plates and faces down a longer run without a separate fixed-lens camera.

Small business frontage

Cover an entry and footpath, using the built-in mic for context and SMD to keep alerts meaningful overnight.

§ 06Setup

Installation & setup

01

Mount and cable

Fix to a wall or eave 2.5-3m high and run one Cat5e/6 cable from a PoE (802.3af) switch or NVR port, or use a 12V DC supply.

02

Set the zoom remotely

After power-up, adjust the motorised 2.7-13.5mm lens from the app or NVR to frame the exact area, then let it auto-focus.

03

Tidy the terminations

Add the PFA137 junction box for weather-protected cabling behind the camera.

04

Record and tune

In Australia a network camera is usually fitted by a licensed security installer or a competent IT/cabling technician who runs the Cat5e/6 cable, terminates the RJ45, mounts the unit and adds it to the NVR or app. Add it to a Dahua NVR or DMSS, then set human and vehicle detection zones and tripwire lines.

§ 07Questions

Frequently asked about the DH-IPC-HFW3541TP-ZS-27135

Q.01

What does the motorised lens do?
It lets you zoom and focus the 2.7-13.5mm lens remotely from the app or NVR, so you can frame a wide yard or a distant gate without physically adjusting the camera.
Q.02

Does it record in colour at night?
No. This is an infrared model, so night footage is black and white once it is fully dark. If you want full-colour night images, choose a Dahua full-colour or dual-light camera instead.
Q.03

Will SMD 4.0 stop animal false alarms?
Yes. SMD 4.0 only treats people and vehicles as alarm targets, so possums, birds, insects and moving foliage no longer trigger smart-event alerts.
Q.04

Does it have a microphone?
Yes, this -ZS model has a built-in microphone for audio context. Dedicated alarm and audio input/output terminals are only on the -ZAS variant.
Q.05

How far does the infrared reach?
Up to 60 metres in full darkness. Useful identification at the tele end of the zoom is around 21 metres on the DORI scale, with detection much further out.
Q.06

Can it record without an NVR?
Yes. It has a microSD slot for a card up to 256GB for standalone recording, though a Dahua NVR adds central management and AI search.
Q.07

Does it need a Dahua NVR for the AI?
SMD runs on the camera, but Quick Pick smart search needs a Dahua AI NVR. It also supports ONVIF for third-party recorders with basic recording.
Q.08

Is it suitable for exposed Australian conditions?
Yes. It is IP67-rated with wide-voltage tolerance and runs from -30 to +60 degrees Celsius, which suits most outdoor positions away from direct salt spray.

§ 09Bundles

Recommended packages

02

Add AI search

Step up to a Dahua AI NVR such as the NVR5208-8P to use Quick Pick search on SMD events.

03

Add storage

Fit a surveillance-grade 2TB or 6TB drive for continuous 5MP recording.

04

Pick a fixed-lens sibling

If you do not need motorised zoom, the HFW3541EP-SA fixed-lens model covers the same role for less.
