Dahua HDBW3241RP-ZS-S2 2MP D/N IR Starlight WDR 3-Axis Vandal Dome 2.7-13.5mm Motorised Zoom Lens
With a razor-sharp 2MP image at 25 fps real time, strong Starlight performance in the dark and a robust IK10/IP67 housing, this vandal-resistant dome camera offers excellent value for any environment. The motorised zoom lens (2.7-13.5 mm) zooms smoothly and quietly in on details, while AI functions such as Smart Motion Detection and perimeter protection reduce unwanted alerts.
What this camera does
This exclusive Dahua dome camera combines high image quality with smart savings on storage and bandwidth. Thanks to AI Codec and Smart H.265+, recordings stay small without losing detail. True WDR (120 dB) and AI SSA optimise the image in strong backlight and changing scenes. The camera is weather-resistant and vandal-resistant (IP67/IK10), works both indoors and outdoors and can be connected directly via PoE with a single cable. It is easy to aim with 3-axis mounting, quick to focus with the motorised zoom, and ready for action with smart detection that counts.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a separate power supply?
No, with PoE, power and video run over the same network cable. Your recorder or switch must then supply PoE. If it does not, the camera can run on a separate 12 V power supply.
Can I record without a recorder?
Yes, a microSD card up to 256 GB fits in the camera. Handy for a single camera. If you want to look back further or view several cameras together, a recorder is the better choice.
Can this camera be mounted outdoors?
Yes. The housing is IP67 and IK10 and is therefore made for outdoor use. Mount it with screws and plugs, and feed the cable through the supplied cable gland so that no moisture reaches the connection.
Does the camera work with my phone?
Yes, with the free Dahua DMSS app you can watch live, play back recordings and receive notifications. The link to the app is under the Downloads tab.
Which mounting parts do I need?
That depends on the surface. The parts that Dahua lists for this model are shown under "Frequently bought together" on this page. If you are unsure, call or email us and we will help you check.
