The DAHUA IPC-HDW2541T-ZS-27135-S2 5MP IR Eyeball is an outdoor HDTV/megapixel surveillance camera built for continuous video monitoring. It delivers 5 megapixel resolution (2960 × 1668 effective pixels), integrates IR illumination for night visibility and a built-in microphone for audio capture. The camera supports PoE or 12 VDC power, an M14 lens mount and accepts microSD cards up to 256 GB, with an operating temperature range from −30 °C to +60 °C.

Advantages

The camera provides high-resolution 5MP imaging with low-light sensitivity down to 0.007 Lux and automatic or manual electronic shutter control (1/3 s–1/100,000 s). Infrared illumination enables reliable night-time monitoring while the compact eyeball form factor and weather-ready enclosure suit outdoor installations. Network connectivity via RJ45 and PoE simplifies wiring and installation, and on-board storage support up to 256 GB adds local recording options.

How to use

Mount the camera in a suitable outdoor location using appropriate fittings, orient the eyeball housing to frame the required scene, and connect to network power via PoE or to a 12 VDC supply. Insert a microSD card if local recording is required and configure camera settings (resolution, exposure, IR behavior, network) through the DAHUA management software or web interface. Verify audio capture from the built-in microphone and adjust lens/zoom as needed with the M14 mount accessory if applicable.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term operation, use certified PoE switches or stable 12 VDC power supplies, protect network connections from moisture, and perform periodic firmware updates through official DAHUA channels. Position the camera to avoid direct exposure to intense light sources that could affect image quality.
