Dahua 4-MP Smart Dual Light Fixed-Focal Bullet Network Camera

The Dahua  Smart Dual Light Fixed-focal Bullet Network Camera is a 4-megapixel bullet-style network camera designed to deliver high-performance surveillance in a compact and cost-effective package. As part of Dahua’s Entry-level Smart series, this camera balances affordability with a solid range of intelligent features, making it suitable for home security, small business monitoring, and general-purpose surveillance needs.

This camera features a 1/2.9" CMOS sensor, capable of producing high-resolution images at up to 2560 × 1440 pixels with a frame rate of 25/30fps. It incorporates H.265 compression technology, which significantly reduces bandwidth and storage requirements without compromising image quality. This makes long-term recording more efficient, particularly when integrated with a network video recorder (NVR).

One of the standout features of the DH-IPC-HFW1439TL1-A-IL is its Smart Dual Illumination system. This combines IR (infrared) LEDs for discreet night surveillance with warm white light LEDs that can be activated when motion is detected. This allows the camera to switch between invisible infrared and visible light modes depending on the situation, improving image clarity while also serving as a deterrent when needed. Both types of illumination support night vision up to 30 meters.

In terms of video enhancement, the camera supports Wide Dynamic Range (WDR), 3D Noise Reduction (3D NR), Backlight Compensation (BLC), and High Light Compensation (HLC). These technologies help ensure that the image remains clear and usable even in challenging lighting conditions, such as scenes with strong backlight, high contrast, or low light.

The camera also includes smart detection features, such as motion detection, video tampering, audio detection, and human detection, which help reduce false alarms and ensure that relevant activity is captured. A built-in microphone allows for synchronized audio and video recording, adding an extra layer of detail to surveillance footage.

Installation is simplified by support for Power over Ethernet (PoE), which allows the camera to be powered and connected using a single Ethernet cable. Alternatively, it can be powered with a standard 12V DC power supply. With an IP67 weatherproof rating, the DH-IPC-HFW1439TL1-A-IL is built to withstand outdoor conditions, including rain and dust, ensuring reliable performance in various environments.

Overall, this camera is an excellent choice for users seeking a reliable and feature-rich security camera without a high price tag. Its smart lighting, intelligent detection capabilities, and durable design make it a versatile tool for modern surveillance systems.
