The Dahua F4C-PV is a 4MP fixed-focal Wi-Fi bullet network camera built for straightforward, dependable outdoor monitoring in a rugged, weatherproof housing. Designed for small and medium-sized settings such as retail stores, entryways, and driveways, it delivers sharp, detailed footage without the complexity of a pan-tilt system.
Image quality is solid across the board. The Dahua F4C-PV uses a 1/3″ CMOS sensor with a maximum resolution of 2560 x 1440, encoded through H.265 or H.264 compression for efficient storage use. An F1.6 aperture lens supports a wide field of view, up to 115° diagonal with the 2.8mm option, giving broad coverage of entryways, parking areas, or storefronts from a single fixed mounting point.
Night vision is handled through dual IR and warm-light illuminators, extending visibility up to 30 meters in both modes. Auto ICR day/night switching ensures the camera adapts automatically as lighting conditions change, while smart illumination helps balance brightness without overexposing nearby objects.
AI-based human detection is built directly into the Dahua F4C-PV, distinguishing people from irrelevant motion like blowing leaves or passing shadows. This keeps alerts focused on what actually matters, with detection events synced instantly to the mobile client so users stay informed wherever they are.
Two-way communication is supported through a built-in mic and speaker, letting users respond directly to visitors or deter unwanted activity remotely. The camera connects over 2.4GHz Wi-Fi (802.11b/g/n) and stores footage locally via a microSD card up to 256GB, with management available through Smart PSS, DSS, or the DMSS mobile app on iOS and Android.
Built for serious outdoor durability, the Dahua F4C-PV carries an IP67 rating — a step above typical IP66 outdoor cameras — and operates across an exceptionally wide temperature range of -40°C to +60°C, making it a strong fit for harsh climates. Its metal-and-plastic casing adds further resilience against daily wear.
At 254.5g and measuring a compact 131.0mm x 78.4mm x 97.2mm, the Dahua F4C-PV mounts easily without drawing attention. Power consumption stays efficient, ranging from 2.2W at idle to a maximum of 6.6W with H.265 encoding and warm-light illumination active. Backed by CE-LVD, CE-EMC, and CE-RED certification, it offers a dependable, cost-effective outdoor security solution for homes and small businesses alike.
