Product SKU: IPC-HDBW5842EP-ZE-S3

Product Overview

The Dahua IPC-HDBW5842EP-ZE-S3 is an 8MP WizMind motorised varifocal dome camera designed for commercial entrances, warehouses, retail sites, car parks and other locations requiring detailed video and advanced camera-side analytics. Its large 1/1.8-inch CMOS sensor records at up to 3840 × 2160 and 25/30fps, while the 2.7–12mm lens adjusts remotely from a wide 113° view to a tighter 47° horizontal view. Three infrared LEDs provide night illumination up to 40 metres, supported by Deeplight imaging, AI-ISP processing and 120dB WDR. AcuPick, SMD 3.0, perimeter protection, face detection, people counting, heat maps, video metadata and smart sound detection help operators locate and assess relevant events. The camera also includes a built-in microphone, external audio and alarm interfaces, microSD storage up to 1TB, ePoE, dual-power backup and IP67/IK10 protection.

Key Capabilities

8MP AI-ISP Imaging

The large 1/1.8-inch sensor captures 4K video at full 25/30fps and uses AI-ISP processing to adapt image settings to changing scenes. This helps preserve useful target detail in low light, strong backlight and other difficult surveillance conditions.

Motorised 2.7–12mm Lens

The remotely adjustable lens changes the horizontal view from approximately 113° to 47°. Installers can refine framing after mounting, moving from broad entrance or room coverage to a tighter area where identification detail matters more.

AcuPick Target Search

AcuPick combines compatible camera-side and back-end intelligence to search live and recorded footage for matching people, animals and motor vehicles. This can substantially reduce the time required to locate a target within large volumes of surveillance video.

Multi-Scenario WizMind Analytics

Perimeter protection, SMD 3.0, face detection, people counting, queue management, heat maps, video metadata and smart object detection support different commercial and security workflows. Self-learning classification helps filter unwanted alarms and improve event relevance.

40m Smart IR and Built-In Mic

Three infrared LEDs provide up to 40 metres of night illumination, while the integrated microphone records supplementary audio. Separate RCA audio input and output connections allow compatible external equipment to be added where required.

Vandal-Resistant Outdoor Housing

The metal dome is rated IP67 against dust and water and IK10 against physical impact. Its compact shape is useful around public entrances and accessible locations where an exposed bullet camera may be easier to strike or redirect.

Best For

  • Commercial Entrances: Adjust the motorised lens to cover reception doors, foyers and controlled access points.
  • Warehouses and Industrial Sites: Use perimeter analytics, metadata and audio around loading areas, storage zones and restricted boundaries.
  • Retail and Shopping Centres: Apply people counting, queue management, heat maps and face snapshots in compatible deployments.
  • Car Parks and Public Areas: Use the IK10 dome housing where impact resistance and discreet installation are important.
  • Vehicle Access Areas: Use video metadata and AcuPick-assisted searches around gates, driveways and loading routes.

Why Choose the IPC-HDBW5842EP-ZE-S3

The IPC-HDBW5842EP-ZE-S3 provides more analytical and installation flexibility than a standard fixed-lens 8MP dome camera. Its motorised lens can be adjusted remotely after mounting, while AcuPick, video metadata, people counting, face detection and SMD 3.0 support faster and more targeted event investigation. The large sensor, AI-ISP processing and Deeplight imaging also make it better suited to difficult low-light environments than a basic 4K camera with a smaller sensor. Available through Security Wholesalers, this model is best selected after confirming the required lens position, analytics, recorder compatibility and storage retention. The camera includes a built-in microphone but no confirmed built-in speaker, and complete AcuPick or Smart Search workflows require a compatible back-end device.

Buyer Decision Tips

Lens Selection Tip: Use the wide position for broad entrances, rooms and open areas. Zoom towards the telephoto end when a smaller evidence zone requires more pixels on faces, vehicles or another distant target.

Analytics and Audio Tip: Not every intelligent function is intended to operate simultaneously, so map the required analytics before commissioning. Live talk-back also requires a compatible external speaker because a built-in speaker is not confirmed.

  • Choose a longer-range IR model if: The required night coverage extends significantly beyond 40 metres.
  • Choose a camera with a built-in speaker if: Two-way communication is required without adding external audio equipment.
  • Confirm the recorder first if: AcuPick, Smart Search, alarm linkage or four-stream recording is required.

FAQs

  1. Does the IPC-HDBW5842EP-ZE-S3 record 8MP video at full frame rate?
    The IPC-HDBW5842EP-ZE-S3 records up to 3840 × 2160 at 25fps in 50Hz systems or 30fps in 60Hz systems. It also provides three additional streams, although simultaneous settings remain subject to the camera’s total encoding capacity and the connected recorder’s bandwidth and decoding limits. This makes it suitable where 4K evidence detail is important without reducing the main stream to a low frame rate.
  2. How does the 2.7–12mm motorised lens change the viewing area?
    The motorised 2.7–12mm lens changes the horizontal field of view from approximately 113° at the wide end to 47° at the telephoto end. Installers can refine the scene remotely after mounting, moving from broad room or entrance coverage to a tighter identification area. Listed identification distance increases from about 8.3 metres wide to 19 metres telephoto, subject to lighting, target position and installation conditions.
  3. Which intelligent analytics are built into this WizMind dome camera?
    The camera supports intrusion, tripwire, fast-moving, loitering, people-gathering and parking rules, with classification of people, animals and vehicles on the core perimeter functions. It also provides SMD 3.0, face detection, smart abandoned-object and missing-object detection, people counting, queue management, heat maps, video metadata and smart sound detection. Required analytics should be mapped before commissioning because not every function is intended for simultaneous use.
  4. What does AcuPick do on the IPC-HDBW5842EP-ZE-S3?
    AcuPick combines compatible camera-side and back-end intelligence to search live and recorded footage for matching people, animals and motor vehicles. It is designed to reduce the time required to locate a target within large amounts of video. A compatible Dahua recorder or management platform, supported firmware and correctly configured events are required for the complete search workflow; the camera alone does not provide the full back-end search interface.
  5. Does the camera have a built-in microphone and two-way audio?
    The IPC-HDBW5842EP-ZE-S3 includes a built-in microphone for audio monitoring and recording. It also provides one RCA audio input and one RCA audio output for compatible external audio equipment. A built-in speaker is not confirmed, so live talk-back requires a suitable external speaker, correct wiring and compatible recorder or software support. Audio recording and communication should be configured in accordance with applicable privacy and workplace-surveillance requirements.
  6. How far does the infrared illumination reach?
    Three infrared LEDs provide a listed illumination distance of up to 40 metres. Smart Illumination adjusts the infrared output as subjects move through the scene, while the 1/1.8-inch sensor and F1.8 lens support very low-light imaging before full infrared assistance is required. Actual usable range varies with the selected zoom position, target reflectivity, weather, mounting height, nearby surfaces and ambient light.
  7. Is the IPC-HDBW5842EP-ZE-S3 suitable for exposed outdoor locations?
    Yes. The metal dome housing is rated IP67 against dust and water and IK10 against physical impact, and it operates from -30°C to +60°C. Correct cable sealing, suitable mounting hardware and a stable installation surface are still required. The camera’s compact vandal-resistant design is useful around public entrances, car parks and other accessible locations where a conventional exposed bullet camera may be easier to strike or redirect.
  8. What should I confirm before ordering this 8MP varifocal dome camera?
    Confirm the required wide and telephoto views, identification distance, intelligent functions, NVR compatibility, AcuPick support, storage retention, alarm wiring, audio requirements and power method. The motorised lens simplifies final framing, but the camera still needs suitable placement for the intended evidence area. Security Wholesalers can review the proposed mounting position and recorder to identify lens, analytics, bandwidth, audio or compatibility limitations before installation.
