The Dahua IPC-HDW2249T-S-PRO is a 2MP WizColor fixed-focal eyeball network camera built for users who want full-color footage around the clock in a discreet, low-profile housing. Using a 1/2.9″ CMOS sensor paired with an F1.0 aperture lens, it captures detailed, vivid color video even in extremely low light, without relying on traditional IR night vision.

WizColor technology is the defining feature of the Dahua IPC-HDW2249T-S-PRO. Minimum illumination reaches an impressive 0.0002 lux, supported by two warm-light illuminators that extend visibility up to 30 meters. Since the camera operates in color mode around the clock rather than switching to black-and-white, it delivers consistently useful footage for identifying people, vehicles, and details after dark.

Smart detection is powered by deep learning. The camera supports IVS perimeter protection, including intrusion and tripwire detection, both with accurate classification of humans and vehicles to reduce false alerts from irrelevant motion. SMD Plus adds a further layer of filtering, and the camera integrates with Smart NVR systems for refined intelligent search, extracting and merging event videos for faster review.

Image quality holds up well across demanding conditions. The Dahua IPC-HDW2249T-S-PRO outputs a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080 at up to 30fps, encoded through H.265 with Smart H.264+/H.265+ for efficient bandwidth use. A full 120dB WDR handles strong backlighting, while 3D noise reduction, HLC, and BLC maintain clarity across varied lighting scenes. A built-in microphone captures real-time audio alongside video for added security context.

Storage flexibility is a strength here, with support for FTP, SFTP, microSD cards up to 256GB, and NAS, giving users several options depending on their setup. Network protocol support is extensive, covering IPv4, IPv6, HTTPS, ONVIF (Profile S, G, T), CGI, and more, ensuring broad compatibility with third-party systems and VMS platforms.

Security features are built in at a system level, including trusted boot, trusted execution, 802.1x, IP/MAC filtering, and X.509 certificate support, reflecting the more robust protections found in Dahua’s WizSense lineup.

Built for demanding environments, the Dahua IPC-HDW2249T-S-PRO carries an IP67 rating and operates reliably across an exceptionally wide range of -40°C to +60°C. Its compact eyeball housing, combining a metal inner core with a plastic cover, weighs just 0.40kg and measures 109.5mm x Φ109.9mm, delivering a discreet, dependable solution backed by CE-LVD and CE-EMC certification.
