DAHUA DH-C5A (5 MP) - WI-FI IP CAMERA WITH TWO-WAY AUDIO
Description Dahua C5A
Micro-USB power instead of PoE or 12V
DH-C5A runs on a standard 5V source through Micro-USB — the same connector type found on most power banks and phone chargers. That's a fundamentally different power approach compared to the vast majority of cameras in this catalog, which need 12V or PoE: here, a regular wall charger is enough, with no specialized adapter or network cable with a PoE injector required.
Wi-Fi only — no wired connection at all
Unlike DH-C4K-P, which supports PoE, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi, this model connects to the network exclusively wirelessly. For a rental, a hotel room, or a space where running any cable is undesirable or impossible, that removes the installation question entirely — plug the camera into an outlet and set up Wi-Fi through the app.
5 MP — higher detail in an even smaller size
Despite weighing just 95 g — one of the lightest in this catalog — the camera records at 5 MP resolution, higher than the 4 MP of the cube-shaped DH-C4K-P. A 90° viewing angle is somewhat narrower than some other models, which suits monitoring a specific spot in a room or an entrance rather than the whole space at once.
Auto-tracking and people/vehicle recognition
Built-in auto-tracking pans the camera to follow a moving subject, and people/vehicle recognition filters out alerts from unrelated motion. Together that gives a system that itself "understands" what's worth attention in frame, with no manual detection-zone setup.
Two-way audio and an SD card up to 256 GB
Intercom mode lets you hear and reply by voice through the app, and an SD card slot up to 256 GB gives a local archive independent of the cloud or router. An operating range of -10°C to +45°C signals this camera is meant specifically for indoor use, not outdoor mounting.
Dimensions of 68×119.2×119.2 mm and 0.6 A current draw
The square housing measuring 68×119.2×119.2 mm is somewhat larger in footprint than DH-C4K-P, but lighter overall. Current draw of roughly 0.6 A through a standard Micro-USB power adapter matches a typical smartphone charger, so no extra power hardware is needed.
One infrared illumination diode for night mode
Despite lacking PoE, the camera has its own IR illumination diode for recording in darkness — meaning even in a room with no ambient light at night, the camera keeps capturing motion, albeit in black-and-white mode like most IR-lit cameras.
A plastic housing — light weight over metal ruggedness
Unlike the vast majority of cameras in this catalog with a metal or combined housing, DH-C5A is built entirely from plastic. That's a sensible trade-off for a home camera: plastic is lighter, needs no extra reinforcement for mounting on thin surfaces, and doesn't feel cold to the touch in winter the way metal does, though it does give up some impact resistance in return.
