Dahua IPC-HDW1431S 4 Megapixel WDR IR Eyeball Network Camera

The Dahua IPC-HDW1431S 4 Megapixel WDR IR Eyeball Network Camera is a compact and affordable network surveillance solution from Dahua's Lite Series. Its eyeball-style design makes it suitable for a wide range of indoor and outdoor installations, including entrances, reception areas, retail stores, offices, corridors, warehouses, parking areas, and building perimeters.

The camera uses a 1/3-inch 4MP progressive CMOS sensor with an effective resolution of 2688 × 1520 pixels. It supports 4MP video at up to 20fps and 3MP video at 25/30fps, providing detailed surveillance footage for everyday security monitoring.

For nighttime surveillance, the camera features 12 IR LEDs with up to 30 meters of IR illumination. Smart IR technology helps adjust infrared illumination to provide useful image details while reducing excessive brightness on nearby objects.

The camera uses a fixed-focal lens, with a standard 2.8mm lens and 3.6mm optional configuration. The 2.8mm version provides a wider field of view for general-area monitoring, while the 3.6mm version provides a more focused viewing angle.

One of its key imaging features is 120dB WDR, which helps balance bright and dark areas within the same scene. This is particularly useful when monitoring entrances, windows, gates, or areas exposed to strong sunlight. The camera also supports 3D Noise Reduction, BLC, HLC, AGC, and Day/Night ICR for improved image quality.

The IPC-HDW1431S supports H.265 and H.264 dual-stream encoding, together with Smart H.265+/H.264+ technology. This helps reduce bandwidth and storage requirements while maintaining useful video quality. It also supports ROI, allowing important areas of the image to receive higher encoding priority.

For event monitoring, the camera supports motion detection, video tampering, scene changing, network disconnection, IP address conflict, illegal access, and storage anomaly detection. It also supports basic IVS functions such as tripwire and intrusion according to Dahua's original specifications.

The camera supports 12V DC and PoE (IEEE 802.3af), allowing both network data and power to be transmitted through a single Ethernet cable when connected to compatible PoE equipment.

With an IP67 protection rating, the camera is designed to resist dust and water ingress, making it suitable for outdoor as well as indoor surveillance installations.

Overall, the Dahua IPC-HDW1431S is a practical choice for customers looking for a 4MP WDR Eyeball IP Camera with 30m IR night vision, Smart Codec, PoE, IVS, and IP67 protection.
