DAHUA DH-IPC-HDW1230T1 (2 MP/2.8 MM) - DOME PoE IP CAMERA
Description Dahua HDW1230T1
The simplest model in the lineup — basic motion capture only
DH-IPC-HDW1230T1 is the entry-level model in this 2 MP camera series: no people, vehicle, or animal recognition, just straightforward video capture with motion detection. For a buyer who already has a recorder with its own analytics system, or who's building the simplest possible setup to capture events "just in case," this is the most affordable way to get a dependable camera with no overpay for functions that would be duplicated elsewhere in the system.
An eye-ball dome build with a 108° viewing angle
The eye-ball dome housing lets you adjust the viewing direction after mounting on a ceiling, and a 108° angle — one of the widest in this part of the catalog — covers substantial ground with a single unit. That's especially handy for small rooms or yards where avoiding blind spots at the frame's edges matters.
ONVIF, FTP, RTSP, TCP, UDP protocols
An extended set of data protocols — ONVIF, FTP, RTSP, TCP, UDP, ARP, RTP — gives flexibility connecting to recorders and network equipment from different manufacturers, including non-standard network configurations. The metal/plastic housing weighs 240 g.
12V or PoE 802.3af power at 4.6 W
The camera supports power from 12V or via PoE to the 802.3af standard, drawing 4.6 W — a moderate figure for an entry-level model. IP67 protection and an operating range from -40°C to +60°C allow year-round outdoor installation with no extra enclosure.
A microphone for synchronized audio capture
A built-in microphone captures audio alongside video even in this simplest model of the lineup. There's no SD card slot — the archive is kept exclusively by whatever recorder or network storage the camera connects to.
Buying several units for one recorder — where the savings add up
Since this model skips recognition and other analytics, its price per channel is lower than the PRO siblings in the same lineup, and that difference compounds fast once a project calls for four, eight, or sixteen cameras rather than one. A yard, a warehouse perimeter, or a multi-entrance building rarely needs recognition on every channel — often one or two access points justify a smarter camera, while the rest just need to capture footage reliably. Building such a system around this entry-level model keeps the average cost per channel down without leaving any part of the site uncovered, and the saved budget can go toward a recorder with more channels or extra storage instead. It's a deliberate trade: fewer smart features per camera, but broader coverage for the same total spend.
We can advise whether basic motion capture is enough for your scenario, or whether a model with people and vehicle recognition is worth considering — tell us about your system and we'll give a concrete recommendation.
