Product Overview

The Dahua DH-IPC-HDW1631EM-0280B-BLK is a 6MP Lite series IR eyeball network camera finished in black, designed for straightforward indoor and outdoor IP surveillance installations. Featuring a 1/2.9″ STARVIS CMOS sensor and a 2.8mm fixed lens delivering a 97-degree horizontal field of view, this camera captures detailed footage at up to 6 megapixels. H.265 and H.264 triple-stream encoding reduces bandwidth consumption and storage requirements without sacrificing image clarity. Built-in smart IR technology extends night vision coverage up to 50 metres, while the integrated microphone adds audio capture capability. WDR (120dB), 3DNR, and Day/Night ICR ensure reliable performance across varying lighting conditions. Rated IP67, the camera withstands dust and water ingress, making it suitable for exposed mounting locations. PoE support simplifies cabling. This model is available in black and suits residential and small commercial installations requiring a reliable, cost-effective 6MP eyeball camera.

Key Capabilities

6MP STARVIS CMOS Sensor

The 1/2.9″ 6-megapixel STARVIS CMOS sensor delivers high-resolution imagery at 3072×2048, capturing fine detail across a wide scene. This makes it easier to identify faces, vehicles, and other key features even when reviewing footage after an incident.

H.265 Efficient Encoding

H.265 triple-stream encoding significantly reduces file sizes compared to older codecs, cutting storage and bandwidth costs. This is particularly valuable in multi-camera installations where NVR storage capacity and network throughput are real constraints.

50m Smart IR Night Vision

Built-in smart IR LEDs provide up to 50 metres of night vision coverage. Smart IR technology automatically adjusts IR intensity to prevent image overexposure at close range, maintaining clear detail whether subjects are near or at the edge of the IR range.

120dB Wide Dynamic Range

With 120dB WDR, the camera handles high-contrast scenes — such as entranceways with bright outdoor light and darker interiors — far more effectively than cameras without WDR. Both bright highlights and shadow detail are preserved in a single image.

Built-in Microphone

The integrated microphone captures audio alongside video, eliminating the need for a separate audio input device. This is useful for monitoring areas where verbal interactions or ambient sounds provide important context alongside the visual recording.

IP67 Rating & PoE Support

IP67 certification ensures the camera is fully protected against dust ingress and temporary water immersion, making it suitable for outdoor mounting. PoE (Power over Ethernet) simplifies installation by delivering both data and power through a single cable run.

Best For

  • Residential Surveillance: Ideal for homeowners wanting high-resolution 6MP coverage of driveways, entries, and backyard areas without complex installation requirements.
  • Small Commercial Premises: Suitable for small offices, retail shops, and warehouses that need reliable IP cameras with efficient H.265 storage at an accessible price point.
  • Low-Light & Night Monitoring: The 50m smart IR range and STARVIS sensor make this camera well suited to areas that require clear footage after dark, such as car parks, laneways, and rear access points.
  • Audio-Inclusive Installations: Where audio recording is required alongside video, the built-in microphone removes the need for additional cabling or hardware.
  • Weatherproof Outdoor Mounting: IP67 protection means this camera can be mounted on exposed exterior walls or under eaves where it will be exposed to rain, dust, and humidity.

Why Choose the DH-IPC-HDW1631EM-0280B-BLK

Compared to entry-level 2MP or 4MP eyeball cameras, the DH-IPC-HDW1631EM-0280B-BLK delivers a significant jump in image resolution, capturing scenes at 6 megapixels. This means more usable detail when zooming into recorded footage — whether to read a number plate, identify a face, or examine an item of interest. The 120dB WDR rating handles challenging lighting far better than basic cameras, reducing washed-out or silhouetted images at doorways and entries. H.265 encoding keeps storage costs down, making the upgrade from a lower-resolution camera even more cost-effective over time. The built-in microphone adds audio capability without added expense, and PoE support keeps cabling straightforward. Available through Security Wholesalers, this black-finish model suits installations where a discreet, dark-coloured camera blends more naturally into the mounting surface than a white unit would.

Package Inclusions

  • This is a single camera product. No additional kit items are included.

Buyer Decision Tips

Buyer Tip: This camera records at 20fps at full 6MP resolution, or up to 25/30fps at 4MP. If smooth motion playback is a priority in high-traffic areas, consider whether you need full 6MP at 20fps or whether the 4MP mode at higher frame rates better suits your requirements.

Buyer Tip: Note that this model has been replaced by the Dahua DH-IPC-HDW3641TMP-AS-0280B-AUS, which includes SMD (Smart Motion Detection). If your installation requires more advanced detection capabilities, the replacement model may be a better fit for your needs.
