IP security camera DAHUA IPC-HDW2249TM-S-IL-0280B — 2 MP, 2.8 mm fixed lens, IR & white light, IP67, PoE/DC

The DAHUA IPC-HDW2249TM-S-IL-0280B White is a compact 1080p IP camera with a 1/2.8" CMOS sensor, fixed 2.8 mm F1.6 lens and progressive scan for clear video capture. It supports H.265/H.264 compression, dual streams, built-in microphone and PoE (802.3af) power for simplified installation. The camera offers up to 30 m night illumination using IR or warm light, IP67 weather resistance and a robust metal housing for indoor or outdoor monitoring.

Advantages

This camera delivers full HD (1920 × 1080) video with smart H.265+/H.264+ codec options to reduce bandwidth and storage usage. It features wide 107° horizontal field of view from the 2.8 mm lens, excellent low-light sensitivity (0.002 Lux color, 0.0002 Lux B/W) and built-in IR/warm light up to 30 m for reliable 24/7 surveillance. Intelligent functions include perimeter protection (intrusion and tripwire) and smart search integration with compatible NVRs. The unit is PoE-capable, supports microSD storage up to 256 GB and meets IP67 for outdoor durability.

Suitable for

• Small to medium outdoor and indoor surveillance of entrances, parking areas and building perimeters
• Retail and office monitoring where wide coverage and audio recording are required
• Integration with Dahua/ONVIF NVR systems for event-based search and storage

How to use

Mount the camera using appropriate fittings for the chosen indoor or outdoor location, ensuring the lens has an unobstructed view. Connect to a 12 VDC power supply or to a PoE-enabled switch for both power and network. Use the camera web interface, Dahua management software (DSS/DMSS) or an ONVIF-compatible NVR to configure video settings, motion detection, ROI and privacy masks. Insert a supported microSD card (max. 256 GB) or configure remote storage (FTP/SFTP) for local recording. Adjust day/night, illuminator and WDR settings to match lighting conditions.

Recommendations

For best performance, install the camera at a height and angle that provide the desired DORI coverage (detect up to ~43.9 m, recognize up to ~8.8 m, identify up to ~4.4 m with the 2.8 mm lens). Use PoE for simpler wiring, enable Smart H.265+ to reduce storage needs, and regularly check firmware and security settings to maintain network protection.
