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-HFW5442E-Z4E is a professional bullet IP camera of the WizMind series with 4-megapixel resolution and a large-format 1/1.8" sensor providing exceptional light sensitivity. A motorized lens with 4x zoom can cover both a wide area and significantly distant objects. Support for H.265+ and ROI (region of interest) technology ensures optimal video quality with minimal load on the network and storage. The camera is designed for demanding sites where high identification reliability is important under any lighting conditions.
Advantages
- 1/1.8" sensor: one of the largest sensors in its class — excellent detail in low light
- Motorized 4x zoom: flexible field-of-view adjustment from a console without mechanical intervention
- H.265+ with ROI: priority compression of important frame zones, lower bitrate without losing key details
- High 4 MP resolution: clear capture of faces, documents and license plates
- IP67 protection class: a sealed housing for reliable outdoor operation in any weather conditions
- IR illumination: long-range illumination for night surveillance at a significant distance
Applications
- Perimeter protection of large industrial sites and airports
- Surveillance of extended zones with variable distance to objects
- Checkpoints, entrance gates and access points needing flexible field-of-view adjustment
- Stadiums, shopping and entertainment centers, sites with large open spaces
