DAHUA DH-IPC-HDBW2449E-S-IL (4 MP/2.8 MM) - DOME PoE IP CAMERA

A compact 81×81 mm square housing

DH-IPC-HDBW2449E-S-IL has one of the smallest footprints among dome cameras in this lineup — just 81×81 mm and 350 g. For mounting in a low-ceilinged corridor, under a small porch canopy, or anywhere a bulky housing would draw unwanted attention, this compact size gives an advantage of discretion with no loss of the functionality found in larger models.

People and vehicle recognition at 4 MP

A 1/2.9" CMOS sensor delivers 4 MP of detail, and built-in people and vehicle recognition filters out alerts from unrelated objects — the camera reports specifically about a person or vehicle moving in frame rather than every swaying branch or shadow. A 101° viewing angle covers a typical driveway or small yard with a single unit.

A 24-month warranty — twice the typical length

The manufacturer offers 24 months of warranty on this model — twice the standard 12 months found on most cameras in the same catalog. That's an indirect signal of the manufacturer's own confidence in this specific model's reliability and can be an argument when choosing between several similarly priced options.

12V/PoE power at an economical 5.9 W

The camera supports power from 12V or via PoE 802.3af, drawing just 5.9 W — a moderate figure that doesn't add extra load on a PoE switch even with several such cameras connected to the same device. The metal, IP67-rated housing withstands temperatures from -40°C to +60°C.

ONVIF, FTP, and SFTP protocols

Support for ONVIF, FTP, SFTP, CGI, and P2P lets the camera connect to recorders and VMS platforms from different manufacturers with no extra protocol converters. A built-in microphone captures audio synchronized with video.

An 81 mm height — taller than the flat F-AS-IL sibling in the same lineup

The same catalog includes DH-IPC-HDBW2449F-AS-IL, with a housing height of just 55 mm — so if minimizing how far the camera protrudes below the ceiling is critical for your installation, it's worth comparing both variants. This model, by contrast, keeps a standard 81 mm height at the same base width, which is no drawback if above-ceiling space isn't a constraint.

One lens, one illumination diode, and 0.5 A current draw

The camera has a single fixed 2.8 mm lens and one infrared illumination diode — a basic, dependable optical configuration with no extra moving parts. Current draw of roughly 0.5 A matches typical figures for 4 MP cameras with object recognition and adds no significant load when connecting several units to the same power source.

No RTSP explicitly listed among the protocols

Unlike some neighboring models in this lineup, RTSP isn't separately listed in this camera's spec sheet — connections run through ONVIF, FTP, SFTP, CGI, and P2P. That's enough for most recorders and VMS systems, but if your software specifically requires a direct RTSP stream, it's worth confirming compatibility beforehand.
