DAHUA HFW5459Z-ZHE-PV-2712-PRO is a 4MP IP bullet camera designed for professional video surveillance of outdoor and perimeter areas. The camera combines a 4-megapixel sensor with a varifocal motorized lens to provide adjustable field of view and detailed image capture suitable for identification, recording and remote monitoring. The unit supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) for simplified installation and network connectivity, and its housing is intended for outdoor use.

Advantages

The camera offers 4MP resolution for clear images and a motorized varifocal lens that allows remote adjustment of focal length and zoom without physical access to the device. PoE support reduces wiring complexity by combining power and data on a single cable.
