What is the difference between a 1/1.8" sensor and a standard 1/2.8" one?

The 1/1.8" sensor has a larger light-sensitive area, which directly improves image quality in low light and reduces the level of digital noise.

Is the camera compatible with non-Dahua recorders?

The camera supports the ONVIF protocol, providing compatibility with most third-party NVRs and VMS.

How is the motorized lens controlled?

Field-of-view adjustment is performed through the NVR interface or the camera's browser interface — without physical access to the device.

Dahua IPC-HFW5442E-ZE bullet IP camera

Dahua IPC-HFW5442E-ZE is a bullet IP camera of the WizMind series with 4-megapixel resolution, a large-format 1/1.8" sensor and a motorized varifocal lens. The large sensor provides high light sensitivity and a detailed picture in low-light conditions — where cameras with a smaller sensor produce a noisy or blurred image. H.264 encoding guarantees broad compatibility with recorders and storage systems, while 12 V power simplifies integration into the infrastructure of existing sites. The IP67 protection class makes the camera suitable for permanent outdoor operation.
