Dahua Technology WizMind IPC-HFW5842E-ASE-0280B-S3 security camera Bullet IP security camera Indoor 3840 x 2160 pixels Pole clamp

The DAHUA IPC-HFW5842E-ASE-0280B-S3 is an 8MP IR bullet IP camera designed for high-resolution surveillance in both indoor and outdoor environments. It uses a 1/1.8" CMOS sensor and delivers an effective pixel count of 3840 × 2160, with selectable focal lengths (2.8 mm, 3.6 mm or 6 mm) and built-in infrared illumination for reliable low-light and night monitoring. The camera supports PoE or 12 VDC power, has audio in/out, alarm I/O, a microSD card slot (up to 1 TB) and an RJ45 network interface.

Advantages

The camera provides 8-megapixel resolution for detailed images, a choice of wide-angle to narrow lenses to suit scene coverage, and IR illumination for clear night-time capture. Low minimum illumination (0.0004 Lux) and selectable electronic shutter settings allow use in very low light. Durable outdoor-rated housing and extended operating temperature range (–40 °C to +60 °C) support reliable operation in harsh environments. Built-in microphone, audio I/O, alarm ports and local storage expand integration options.

How to use

Mount the camera in the desired location using appropriate fixtures for outdoor use, select the needed lens focal length (2.8/3.6/6 mm) before installation, and connect power via PoE or a 12 VDC supply. Connect the network cable to the RJ45 port and configure the camera through the DAHUA management software or supported ONVIF/NVR systems. Insert a MicroSD card (optional) for local recording or configure remote recording to an NVR. Adjust image parameters and IR settings through the camera web interface or client software to match the scene and lighting conditions.

Recommendations

For best results install the camera under an overhang or use a weatherproof junction box to protect cable connections; position the camera to avoid direct exposure to heavy glare or bright light sources and choose the focal length that provides the desired field of view for the monitored area.
