What this camera does
The Dahua HFW5541E-ASE-S3 combines quality with convenience. WizMind intelligence recognises people and vehicles, so you receive fewer false alerts and see more quickly what matters. The 3,6 mm fixed lens gives a wide overview of your site. Thanks to smart image optimisation, details remain visible, even in rain, backlight or at dusk. You connect it easily with PoE or 12V DC, and via ePoE you can cover long distances without extra power supplies. That saves time, cables and costs. This camera is built for continuous use: sturdy, weatherproof and ready for every day.

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 of up to 512 GB fits in the camera. Convenient for a single camera. If you want to review footage over a longer period or view several cameras together, a recorder is the better choice.
Can this camera be mounted outdoors?
Yes. The housing is IP67 and therefore suitable for outdoor use. Mount it with screws and plugs, and route 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.
