Dahua IPC-PFW2849S-A180-E2-S-PV-0280B 8MP Panoramic WizSense IP Camera, 180° FoV, Dual 2.8mm Lens, PoE, IP67

Monitoring wide-open areas like warehouses, retail floors, parking lots, or convention centers often requires multiple cameras to cover every corner. The Dahua IPC-PFW2849S-A180-E2-S-PV-0280B changes that with a single panoramic unit that captures a seamless 180° horizontal view. Using dual 2.8mm fixed lenses, it stitches content into a crisp 8-megapixel image (4096 x 1800) at up to 30 fps, effectively replacing two or three standard cameras.
