§ 01Overview

What the IPC-HFW5842E-ZE is

The Dahua DH-IPC-HFW5842E-ZE is an 8MP bullet from the WizMind range, built for sites that need both high resolution and advanced deep-learning analytics. A 1/1.8-inch 8MP sensor captures 3840 x 2160 detail with a motorised 2.7-12mm lens and Starlight low-light imaging, and Smart IR reaches up to 60m for night coverage. The motorised lens lets you set the field of view from the recorder after mounting.

WizMind deep learning adds face detection with attribute data, perimeter protection (tripwire and intrusion) with human and vehicle classification, people counting and video metadata, so the camera filters alerts to real targets and supports quick forensic search. A built-in microphone records on-site audio. The IP67 and IK10 metal housing suits exposed and higher-risk positions, and it powers from 12V DC, PoE (802.3af) or ePoE for long cable runs. To use face detection, metadata and intelligent search end to end, pair it with a compatible Dahua WizMind or AI NVR. As an 8MP camera with full analytics it produces a sizeable stream, so plan for the bandwidth and storage it needs. It has a microphone but no speaker, so it does not support two-way talk, and it records monochrome at night under infrared.

8MP Ultra HD

8MP (4K) resolution captures four times the detail of 1080p.
Even when a person or car is far down the driveway, you can zoom in and still recognise a face or read a number plate — detail that lower-resolution cameras lose.

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.

§ 04Why choose this

Built for the way you actually use the IPC-HFW5842E-ZE

High 8MP detail

An 8MP sensor with a motorised lens covers a wide scene and lets you zoom into recorded footage for faces and detail.

Advanced WizMind analytics

Face detection, people counting, metadata and human-vehicle classification bring forensic search and focused alerts to one camera.

Sees 60m after dark

Smart IR reaches up to 60m with Starlight low-light imaging, keeping larger areas usable at night.

Tough, flexible install

An IP67 and IK10 housing with 12V DC, PoE or ePoE power suits exposed sites and long cable runs.

§ 05Where it fits

Right at home in these scenarios

Building frontages and entries

Covers a frontage in 8MP detail with face detection and people counting, zooming to detail from the recorder.

Car parks and forecourts

Watches a wide forecourt or car park, classifying people and vehicles and zooming into incidents in recorded footage.

Perimeters and boundaries

Tripwire and intrusion rules with classification monitor fence lines and approaches, alerting only on people and vehicles.

Commercial and high-value sites

High resolution, analytics and an IK10 housing suit retail, industrial and other sites needing detail and tamper resistance.

§ 06Setup

Installation & setup

01

Plan the mounting position

Fix the bullet to a wall or eave with a clear view of the area. The motorised lens lets you fine-tune the angle from the recorder, but set the height and direction for the scene you want.

02

Power over PoE, ePoE or 12V DC

Run a single PoE (802.3af) cable from a switch or NVR, use ePoE with a compatible recorder for long runs, or provide a 12V DC supply.

03

Size the recorder and storage

As a full-analytics 8MP camera it produces a sizeable stream, so pair it with a Dahua WizMind or AI NVR sized for the bandwidth and storage, and confirm support for face and metadata features.

04

Set the lens and AI rules

Frame the scene with the motorised lens from the recorder, then configure perimeter, face and people-counting rules on the recorder.

§ 08Questions

Frequently asked about the IPC-HFW5842E-ZE

Q.01

What does the 8MP resolution give me?
At 3840 x 2160 it captures fine detail across a wide scene, so you can cover a large area and still zoom into recorded footage to make out a face or object. With the motorised lens you can also frame tighter for distance, which suits forecourts, car parks and building frontages.
Q.02

What AI analytics does it include?
It runs WizMind deep learning: face detection with attribute data, perimeter protection with human and vehicle classification, people counting and video metadata. To use features like face detection and intelligent search end to end, pair it with a compatible Dahua WizMind or AI NVR.
Q.03

How far does the night vision reach?
Smart IR reaches up to 60m, suiting larger driveways, yards and perimeters. The Starlight sensor holds detail in low light before the scene switches to monochrome infrared in full darkness, and the IR intensity adjusts to avoid overexposing close subjects.
Q.04

Can I adjust the lens after mounting?
Yes. The 2.7-12mm lens is motorised, so you set the zoom and focus from the recorder or app rather than at the camera. This makes it easy to frame the scene from a high or awkward position and to reframe later without returning to the camera.
Q.05

Does it record audio or support two-way talk?
It has a built-in microphone that records on-site audio alongside the video. There is no built-in speaker, so it captures sound one way and does not support two-way talk.
Q.06

How is it powered?
It accepts 12V DC, PoE (802.3af) or ePoE. ePoE allows longer cable runs than standard PoE with a compatible recorder or switch, which is useful on larger sites. Power draw is modest for an 8MP analytics camera at around 13W maximum.
Q.07

Will any NVR handle it?
It works as a standard camera on most recorders, but to use face detection, metadata and intelligent search you need a compatible Dahua WizMind or AI NVR. As a full-analytics 8MP camera it produces a sizeable stream, so size the recorder bandwidth and storage accordingly.
Q.08

Is it suitable for exposed or higher-risk sites?
Yes. The metal housing carries both IP67 weather sealing and an IK10 impact rating across a -30C to +60C range, suiting exposed walls and eaves and positions where tampering is a concern.
