§ 01Overview
What the Dahua IPC-HDW5842TM-ASE is
The Dahua DH-IPC-HDW5842TM-ASE is an 8MP WizMind fixed-focal eyeball camera built around a large 1/1.8-inch sensor, delivering 4K (3840 x 2160) at up to 30fps with the detail to identify faces and read plates across wide scenes.
Smart IR reaches up to 50m and 120dB WDR balances high-contrast positions such as entries and forecourts.
WizMind analytics run on the camera, adding face detection, people counting, perimeter protection with human and vehicle classification, video metadata and SMD 3.0.
AcuPick, with a compatible Dahua AI NVR, lets operators quickly search recorded video for a person or vehicle.
A built-in microphone, audio and alarm I/O and an IP67 housing suit multi-site commercial deployments, with 12V DC, PoE or ePoE power and microSD up to 1TB

§ 04Why choose this
Built for the way you actually use the Dahua IPC-HDW5842TM-ASE
Analytics on the camera
Face detection, people counting, video metadata and human and vehicle classification run on-device, giving commercial sites structured data without a dedicated AI server.
Faster investigations
With a compatible Dahua AI NVR, AcuPick lets operators quickly locate a person or vehicle across hours of recorded video, cutting review time.
Efficient and weatherproof
Smart H.265+ controls storage and bandwidth at 4K, microSD up to 1TB adds edge backup, and the IP67 housing handles exposed eave, wall and outdoor positions.
§ 05Where it fits
Right at home in these scenarios
Commercial building perimeters
Wide 8MP coverage with enough detail to identify individuals, in an IP67 housing for exposed eave and wall positions year-round.
Retail and hospitality entries
Face detection and people counting add operational insight alongside security footage at monitored entries and exits.
Campus and multi-site systems
On-device WizMind AI and Smart H.265+ keep infrastructure costs down when scaling across many camera positions on NVR-based systems.
Car parks and driveways
Human and vehicle classification filters alerts by target type, and 50m Smart IR keeps approaching vehicles legible in darkness.
§ 06Setup
Installation & setup
Choose the lens for the scene
Because the lens is fixed, pick 2.8mm, 3.6mm or 6mm to match the scene width at your mounting distance. Confirm coverage before ordering, as it cannot be adjusted later without cropping.
Power over PoE, ePoE or 12V DC
Run PoE (802.3af) over a single cable, use ePoE for longer runs, or provide a 12V DC supply where PoE is unavailable.
Mount on wall, ceiling or eave
The eyeball housing adjusts at the mount for walls, soffits and ceilings. Use a Dahua junction box such as the PFA130-E where surface cabling or clearance is needed.
Pair an AI NVR for AcuPick
To use AcuPick, connect the camera to a compatible Dahua AI NVR so target search runs across recorded video.
