Dahua Technology Lite Dome IP Security Camera HAC-HDW1500T-IL-A — 2880×1620, 113.3° HFOV, 0.01 lx, Ceiling/Wall, Indoor & Outdoor

Dahua Technology Lite Dome IP Security Camera HAC-HDW1500T-IL-A is a compact dome surveillance camera designed for both indoor and outdoor use with ceiling or wall mounting. It captures video at a 2880×1620 (5 MP) resolution from a CMOS sensor and provides a wide 113.3° horizontal field of view. The camera supports wired connectivity and offers low-light performance down to 0.01 lx, 360° rotation for flexible positioning, and built-in audio support. With detection reach up to about 59.8 m, observation to 23.9 m and recognition to 12 m, the unit is suitable for perimeter monitoring and general-purpose video surveillance in residential and small-to-medium business environments.

Advantages

The camera combines starlight imaging and advanced 3D noise reduction to deliver clear images in low-light conditions while saving bandwidth and storage. Smart Light+ and Smart Area Lighting provide targeted, reduced-glare illumination to reveal detail without excessive light pollution. Smart Dual Light automatically switches between white light and infrared based on detection events, improving capture of colour detail when needed. The unit also features a built-in microphone for audio capture, wide voltage tolerance and an IP67-rated enclosure for reliable outdoor performance.

Suitable for

• Perimeter and entrance monitoring for homes and small businesses
• General indoor surveillance in offices, retail and common areas
• Outdoor monitoring of driveways, gardens and parking areas
• Locations requiring low-light or night-time identification and brief recognition

How to use

Install the camera on a ceiling or wall using the supplied mounting hardware, ensuring a stable wired connection to the recorder or power source. Configure the camera output format (CVI/CVBS/AHD/TVI) to match your recorder and, if using AI features or Smart Dual Light in HDCVI mode, ensure compatible XVR firmware is updated per manufacturer guidance. Position the camera to cover the intended area taking advantage of the wide 113.3° HFOV and adjust orientation for optimal framing. Use the recorder or camera web interface to set exposure, Smart Area Lighting and Super Adapt features for best image balance in your environment.

Recommendations

For reliable night-time color captures and perimeter alerts, enable Smart Dual Light and Smart Light+ features and keep firmware updated on both camera and recorder. Mount at recommended heights for the selected lens to achieve the stated detection, observation and recognition distances and ensure the IP67-rated enclosure is properly sealed after installation to maintain weather resistance.
