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-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.
Advantages
- Large 1/1.8" sensor: high light sensitivity — a detailed picture in insufficient lighting
- Motorized lens: remote field-of-view adjustment without climbing to the camera
- 4 MP resolution: sufficient detail for reliable identification and video analysis
- H.264 codec: maximum compatibility with a wide range of NVRs and VMS
- 12 V power: a standard solution compatible with most CCTV power supplies
- IP67 protection: reliable outdoor operation in dust, rain and temperature variations
Applications
- Surveillance of entrance zones and gates of enterprises
- Perimeter protection with flexible field-of-view adjustment
- Video monitoring of areas with variable and complex lighting
- Retail-warehouse complexes and production sites
