The Dahua IPC-HDBW2230EP-S-0280B 2MP Lite IR Fixed-Focal Dome Network Camera is a compact, vandal-resistant IP camera designed for reliable indoor and outdoor surveillance. Its wide 2.8 mm fixed lens provides broad scene coverage, while Starlight low-light imaging, 30 m infrared illumination and Full HD video make it suitable for entrances, passages, offices, shops and exposed perimeter areas.
Key Features
- Full HD 2MP surveillance: Captures video at up to 1920 × 1080 at 25/30 fps for clear everyday monitoring.
- Wide 2.8 mm lens: Provides approximately 108° horizontal, 56° vertical and 128° diagonal field of view for broad coverage from a fixed mounting point.
- Night monitoring up to 30 metres: Built-in infrared LEDs allow the camera to continue monitoring when ambient light drops.
- Starlight low-light imaging: Designed to retain useful colour information in low-light scenes before infrared night mode becomes necessary.
- Vandal-resistant IK10 housing: The metal dome enclosure is rated IK10 for improved resistance to physical impact in exposed installations.
- IP67 outdoor protection: The camera is protected against dust and water ingress when correctly installed, making it suitable for outdoor surveillance.
- Tripwire and intrusion detection: Dahua IVS functions allow virtual boundaries and monitored areas to be configured for targeted event detection.
- Local microSD recording: Supports microSD cards up to 256 GB for edge recording without relying entirely on an NVR.
- PoE or 12 V DC power: Use 802.3af Power over Ethernet for a single network-and-power cable installation, or power the camera separately from 12 V DC.
- Efficient video compression: Smart H.265+ and Smart H.264+ help reduce bandwidth and storage requirements in compatible configurations.
DORI Viewing Distances
For this 2.8 mm version, Dahua specifies the following DORI distances:
- Detect: 38.6 m
- Observe: 15.4 m
- Recognise: 7.7 m
- Identify: 3.9 m
DORI describes the approximate level of visual detail available at different distances. These values should not be treated as the operating range of the camera's tripwire or intrusion analytics.
Did You Know?
- The IK10 rating represents substantial impact resistance. Dahua describes the enclosure as withstanding repeated impact equivalent to 20 joules under its test conditions.
- The 2.8 mm lens is the wider-angle option in this range. The manufacturer also offered a 3.6 mm version, but this listing is specifically for the 2.8 mm PAL variant.
- The camera supports a wide-voltage tolerance of approximately ±30% for applicable power supplies, which can help in installations where supply voltage is less stable.
Compatibility & App Support
The camera connects through a 10/100 Base-T RJ-45 Ethernet port and supports ONVIF Profiles S, G and T for use with compatible NVRs and video-management systems.
Dahua lists DMSS for compatible iOS and Android mobile access, together with SmartPSS and DSS management software.
Storage options include microSD up to 256 GB, FTP, SFTP and NAS. Compatible optional accessories include the PFA136 junction box, PFB203W wall bracket, PFA106 mount adaptor, PFB220C ceiling bracket and PFA152-E pole-mount bracket.
