Dahua DH-IPC-HFW1230TL2-S5 Full HD 2MP Bullet IP Camera

The Dahua DH-IPC-HFW1230TL2-S5 is a 2MP bullet IP camera built for clear Full HD surveillance around homes, shops, offices and compounds. Its 1/2.8" CMOS sensor records 1920 × 1080 video at up to 25/30 fps. Faces, vehicles and movement stay easy to recognize.

If you are comparing a Dahua IP camera for outdoor monitoring, this model covers the essentials. It has 30-meter infrared night vision and IP67 weather protection. It also supports PoE power, so one network cable can carry both power and data.

It suits shopfronts, entrances, parking areas, warehouses and residential gates. The camera works through the day and the night, and Smart H.265+ compression keeps storage and bandwidth use under control.

Key Features

• 2MP Full HD resolution (1920 × 1080): Records sharp 1080p video at up to 25/30 fps, so you can identify people and events more clearly than on standard-definition cameras.

• 1/2.8" CMOS sensor with F2.0 aperture: Captures more light in dim conditions. Minimum illumination is 0.01 lux in color mode and 0.001 lux in B/W mode, so footage holds up in low light.

• 30m infrared night vision: Two IR LEDs cover up to 30 meters (98.4 ft) with Auto and manual illuminator control. You keep visibility in complete darkness (0 lux with the illuminator on).

• 3.6mm fixed lens with 84° horizontal field of view: Covers a wide area with a single camera. This reduces blind spots at entrances, shopfronts and yards.

• Smart H.265+ / H.264+ compression: Supports H.265, H.264, H.264B, 264H and MJPEG on the sub stream. Smart Codec lowers bitrate and storage use while keeping video quality.

• IP67 weather protection: The dust-tight, water-resistant body works outdoors. It handles rain and dust and operates from –40 °C to +55 °C.

• PoE (802.3af) or 12V DC power: You can run the camera over a single Ethernet cable or a standard power adapter. This simplifies installation and cuts cabling cost.

• Smart detection and alerts: Motion detection, video tampering, network disconnection, IP conflict, illegal access and security exception alarms help you react to suspicious activity.

• Image enhancement tools: DWDR, BLC, HLC, 3D noise reduction, 4-area ROI and 4-area privacy masking improve image quality in tricky lighting and protect private zones.

• Flexible mounting angle: Pan 0°–360°, tilt 0°–78° and rotation 0°–360° let you aim the camera precisely.

• ONVIF (Profile S) and mobile app support: Works with ONVIF-compatible systems and supports Smart PSS, DSS and DMSS, plus iOS and Android clients, for easy remote viewing.
