§ 01Overview
What the DH-HAC-HDW2501TMQP-A is
The Dahua DH-HAC-HDW2501TMQP-A is a 5MP HDCVI eyeball camera built for analogue CCTV systems that record over coaxial cable. It suits homeowners and installers upgrading an existing analogue setup to 5MP without re-cabling to network gear, delivering 2880 x 1620 footage with Starlight low-light sensitivity and 120 dB true WDR.
This is an HDCVI camera, so it connects to a Dahua HDCVI XVR or DVR rather than an IP network recorder. To run it at full 5MP, the recorder firmware must support 5MP HDCVI input. A built-in microphone adds one channel of audio over the coax run, and the IP67 metal housing handles outdoor positions. The lens is fixed at 2.8mm and the camera runs on 12 VDC.

Representative illustrations of how each key feature performs in a real scene.
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.
IP67 Weatherproof
Sealed against dust and water to IP67, built to keep working through rain, storms and harsh sun — suitable for fully outdoor mounting.

DH-HAC-HDW2501TMQP-A specifications
- Resolution: 5MP 1/2.7" CMOS sensor outputs 2880 x 1620 at up to 25 fps for clear, wide 16:9 coverage.
- Starlight low light: Captures usable colour detail in low light before switching to infrared in full darkness.
- True WDR: 120 dB true wide dynamic range balances bright entrances against shaded interiors in one frame.
- Smart IR: Infrared reaches up to 60 m and dims automatically to stop close objects washing out at night.
- Flexible output: One BNC carries CVI, TVI, AHD or CVBS via a DIP switch, so it works with most analogue recorders.
- Built-in microphone: One audio channel is recorded alongside the video on supporting HDCVI recorders.

§ 04Why choose this
Built for the way you actually use the DH-HAC-HDW2501TMQP-A
Detail in tough light
Starlight plus 120 dB true WDR keeps faces and plates readable at backlit doorways and dim driveways.
Honest night reach
Smart IR to 60 m is genuine infrared: night footage is sharp black-and-white, not colour, with no glare from close objects.
Simple, sealed install
A fixed 2.8mm lens and IP67 eyeball body make for a quick, weather-sealed outdoor fit.
§ 05Where it fits
Right at home in these scenarios
Analogue system upgrades
Swap an ageing 2MP analogue camera for 5MP on the same coax and recorder, where the recorder supports 5MP HDCVI.
Home entries and carports
The wide 2.8mm view covers a front door, carport or side gate from a single eave position.
Small shops on DVR
Retail counters and storerooms already running a Dahua DVR gain higher resolution and an audio channel.
Mixed-format sites
CVI, TVI, AHD and CVBS output lets it slot into legacy recorders of different brands during a staged upgrade.
§ 06Setup
Installation & setup
Recorder type
This is an analogue HDCVI camera. Connect it to a Dahua HDCVI XVR or DVR over coax, not to an IP NVR. For 5MP capture, confirm the recorder firmware supports 5MP HDCVI input.
Power
Supply 12 VDC from a regulated CCTV power supply or balun-fed source. The camera does not use PoE.
Cabling
Run RG59 coax for video and a separate 2-core for 12 VDC, or use a suitable combined siamese cable, keeping runs within HDCVI distance limits.
Mounting
Fix the eyeball base to a wall or ceiling, aim the lens, then lock the gimbal. Add a junction box where extra cable space or a cleaner finish is needed.
§ 08Questions
Frequently asked about the DH-HAC-HDW2501TMQP-A
Q.01
Is this an IP camera or an analogue camera?
It is an analogue HDCVI camera that records over coaxial cable. It connects to a Dahua HDCVI XVR or DVR, not to an IP network video recorder.
Q.02
What recorder do I need to get the full 5MP?
You need a Dahua HDCVI XVR or DVR that supports 5MP HDCVI input, with firmware updated to a version that enables 5MP. Older recorders may only capture it at a lower resolution.
Q.03
Does it record in colour at night?
It uses Starlight to hold colour in low light, but in full darkness it switches to infrared and records in black and white. Infrared reaches up to 60 m.
Q.04
Does it have audio?
Yes, it has a built-in microphone for one channel of audio. It does not have a speaker, so it cannot do two-way talk. The recorder must support audio over coax.
Q.05
How is it powered?
It runs on 12 VDC from a regulated CCTV power supply. It does not use PoE, so plan a separate power feed alongside the coax video run.
Q.06
Can it work with my existing non-Dahua DVR?
Often yes. The output switches between CVI, TVI, AHD and CVBS by DIP switch, so it can match many analogue recorders, though full features are best on a Dahua HDCVI recorder.
Q.07
What lens does it have and how wide is the view?
It has a fixed 2.8mm lens giving a wide field of view, well suited to covering a doorway, carport or small yard from one position.
Q.08
Is it suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. The metal eyeball housing is rated IP67 against dust and rain, so it can be mounted under eaves and in exposed outdoor positions.
Buying from Smarket
Is your Hikvision, Dahua, HiLook and TP-Link VIGI stock genuine Australian stock?
Yes, 100%. Every Hikvision, Dahua, HiLook and TP-Link VIGI product we sell is a genuine Australian-market model sourced through Australian supply chains — never grey imports. That means factory-sealed units, Australian-region firmware that works with the official apps out of the box, and a full 3-year local warranty.
How long does delivery take?
Order before 2pm (Sydney time) on a business day and in-stock items are dispatched the same day. Most orders arrive within 1–4 business days Australia-wide; remote and regional areas can take a little longer. You'll receive a tracking number by email as soon as your order leaves the warehouse.
How much is shipping?
Standard shipping is free on all orders over $300 AUD, Australia-wide. Orders under $300 ship at a flat rate of $25, calculated at checkout. Tracking is included on every order.
What warranty do you offer?
All cameras, NVRs and DVRs come with a 3-year back-to-base manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, in addition to your rights under Australian Consumer Law. Hard drives and accessories are covered as set out in our Warranty Policy.
What is your return policy?
You have 30 days from the day you receive your order to request a change-of-mind return. Items must be unopened, factory-sealed and in resalable condition. A 15% restocking fee applies and return postage is at your cost. Faulty or incorrectly supplied items are different: we cover the return shipping and refund or replace at no charge. Read the full Return & Refund Policy.
Do you offer installation?
We can connect you with licensed installers in Sydney and Melbourne. Installation typically starts from around $200 per camera depending on cable runs and site conditions. Email sales@smarket.com.au with your address and camera count for a quote.
§ 10Bundles
Recommended packages
Pair with an HDCVI recorder
This analogue camera needs a Dahua HDCVI XVR or DVR (sold separately) with 5MP HDCVI support. It will not record on an IP NVR.
Match other HDCVI cameras
Build out the same coax system with the 5MP HDCVI dome HAC-HDBW2501EP or the 5MP HDCVI bullet HAC-HFW2501TUP-A for matching 5MP Starlight coverage in other shapes.
Accessories
Add the DH-PFA130-E junction box for a sealed cable join or the DH-PFB204W wall mount to bring the camera off the wall.
