Field of view and DORI distances
The angles come from the manufacturer’s documentation for this model. A level’s distance is how deep along the camera axis the required pixel density holds; in practice the result also depends on light, viewing angle and video compression. The values may differ from the DORI in the datasheet: manufacturers calculate it by their own method, here it strictly follows the IEC 62676-4 density thresholds.

Dahua IPC-HFW1230S1-A is a 2 MP bullet IP camera with a 2.8–12 mm motorized lens, a built-in microphone, and IR illumination up to 40 meters. Unlike the basic version, the model with the "-A" suffix is equipped with an audio input for sound recording, which allows building a more informative archive and responding to audio events. IP67 and IK10 protection guarantee reliability in outdoor operation.
Advantages
- Built-in microphone — audio recording allows capturing not only video but also conversations or alarm signals in the surveillance zone
- 2.8–12 mm motorized lens — flexible adjustment of the viewing angle and focus without physical intervention after installation
- IR illumination up to 40 m — confident surveillance in complete darkness at a long distance
- MicroSD card up to 256 GB — standalone storage of the video archive onboard the camera
- H.265+ compression — disk space savings at high Full HD resolution
- IP67 and IK10 protection — operation in conditions of precipitation, dust and mechanical impacts
Applications
- Sales floors and checkout areas — audio recording helps resolve disputed situations with customers
- Entry groups and checkpoints — capturing negotiations with visitors on video and audio
- Schools and kindergartens — comprehensive monitoring of the territory with sound recording
- Offices — monitoring of meeting rooms and reception areas
- Outdoor perimeter security — the durable IK10 housing for operation in public places
