DAHUA DH-IPC-HDW1431T1 (4 MP/2.8 MM) - DOME PoE IP CAMERA
Description Dahua HDW1431T1
The dome version of the budget 1431 lineup, with no object recognition
DH-IPC-HDW1431T1 is the eye-ball dome counterpart to the bullet DH-IPC-HFW1431T1: the same 4 MP sensor, the same lack of built-in people or vehicle recognition, just basic motion detection. The difference is purely in housing shape: the dome design suits mounting on a corridor or small-room ceiling better, while the bullet is more convenient for precisely aiming at a specific spot in a yard.
A compact 250 g housing
The dome housing weighs 250 g — slightly more than the bullet version (240 g on the neighboring HDW1230T1), but still one of the lightest options in this part of the catalog. Compact dimensions simplify installation in rooms with limited above-ceiling space.
A 104° viewing angle and up to 30 m of illumination
A 104° viewing angle covers a typical room or small yard with a single unit, and an effective illumination range of up to 30 m provides night vision over grounds around a building. A metal/plastic build balances mechanical strength with moderate weight.
PoE 802.3af power at 5 W
The camera runs on PoE to the 802.3af standard at 5 W consumption — a compact solution for sites that already have PoE-capable network infrastructure. IP67 protection and an operating range from -40°C to +60°C allow year-round outdoor installation.
A microphone and ONVIF, FTP, CGI protocols
A built-in microphone captures audio alongside video, and ONVIF, FTP, CGI, and P2P support gives flexibility connecting to recorders from different manufacturers. This model has no SD card slot.
ONVIF makes the recorder brand a secondary question
With no SD card slot, this camera depends entirely on whatever recorder or NVR it's paired with to keep an archive — and that's exactly where ONVIF support matters most. A Dahua NVR will naturally recognize the camera with the fewest extra steps, but ONVIF compliance means a Hikvision, Uniview, or generic NVR from another brand can add the stream too, just with configuration done through the ONVIF profile rather than a proprietary auto-discovery screen. That's useful for a site upgrading an existing system gradually rather than replacing every recorder at once, or for an installer standardizing on one recorder brand while mixing camera brands based on price and features. FTP and CGI support add a fallback path for older or more specialized recording software that doesn't lean on ONVIF at all.
