WizMind 5 · 4 MP · Motorised 2.7–12 mm · IK10 Vandal DomeDahua WizMind 5 · 4 MP Pro AI Vandal DomeDahua DH-IPC-HDBW5442EP-ZE-2712 — 4 MP Pro AI Motorised Vari-Focal Starlight+ IR Vandal Dome WizMind 5 Network Camera (2.7–12 mm)
The Dahua DH-IPC-HDBW5442EP-ZE-2712 is the WizMind 5 Pro AI 4 MP motorised vandal dome — the dome sibling to Dahua's flagship 4 MP HFW5442EP-ZE bullet. Built around a 1/1.8" Starlight+ CMOS — physically larger and roughly twice the light-gathering area of WizSense's 1/2.7" — capturing 2688 × 1520 at 25/30 fps with Smart H.265+ encoding. The motorised 2.7–12 mm vari-focal lens delivers a wide 100° field at 2.7 mm down to a tight 33° pull at 12 mm with auto-focus, remote-controllable via DMSS. Built-in IR reaches up to 40 m; WDR is 140 dB (vs WizSense's 120 dB); the IK10 vandal-rated metal dome housing is IP67 sealed across −30 °C to +60 °C. WizMind 5 deep-learning AI runs the full Pro suite — face recognition with database, full perimeter protection, people counting, heat map, stereo analysis and vehicle metadata. ePoE extends PoE to 800 m over Cat6 for long perimeter runs without an edge network closet. Built for project-grade Australian deployments where a vandal dome is preferred — transport platforms, shopping centres, schools, airports, hospitals, council and government facilities. Backed by a 5-year Australian warranty through CCTV Guru. SKU 5442 series.

Why Choose the Dahua HDBW5442EP-ZE WizMind 5 Pro AI Vandal Dome
IK10 Vandal Dome with Pro AI
Full metal IK10-rated dome chassis — built for shopping centres, transport platforms, schools and high-vandalism positions. Pro AI features baked in.
1/1.8" Starlight+ Sensor
Physically larger sensor with roughly twice the light-gathering area of WizSense's 1/2.7". Usable colour video in moonlight, low noise.
WizMind 5 Full Pro AI
Face recognition with on-camera database, perimeter protection, people counting, heat map, stereo analysis, vehicle metadata — the flagship Pro AI feature set.
ePoE — 800 m PoE Distance
Extends data + power to 800 m on Cat6 (vs the standard 100 m limit) — long perimeter runs without an edge network closet. Also supports AC24V / DC12V.
Motorised 2.7–12 mm Vari-Focal
4.4× motorised vari-focal with auto-focus — remote re-framing via DMSS, no ladder visits required.
140 dB True WDR + 40 m IR
True 140 dB WDR (vs WizSense's 120 dB) for harsh Australian sun. Built-in IR array reaches up to 40 m for night surveillance.
Important Install Note
The motorised vari-focal lens is remote-controllable via DMSS. To use ePoE's 800 m range, pair with a Dahua ePoE switch or NVR with ePoE ports — on a standard 802.3af/at PoE switch the camera works at the standard 100 m limit. The dome also supports AC24V power as a backup option.
AI & Smart Detection Capabilities
Face Recognition (Database)
On-camera face database with up to 10,000 face entries. Real-time recognition with similarity scoring and DMSS alarm push.
Perimeter Protection (IVS)
Tripwire and intrusion zones with human and vehicle classification.
People Counting + Heat Map
Statistics for entry/exit counts, queue length and dwell-time heat maps — ideal for retail and transport analytics.
SMD Plus Smart Motion
Motion alerts triggered only by humans and vehicles. Filters out branches, animals and shadows at the edge.
Stereo Analysis
Stereo-vision behaviour analysis — fall detection, fight detection, person stationary, person walking.
Vehicle Metadata Capture
Vehicle classification with attribute capture — type, colour and direction metadata.

How It Compares — HDBW5442EP-ZE (Dome) vs HFW5442EP-ZE (Bullet)
The natural sibling is the Dahua DH-IPC-HFW5442EP-ZE — the bullet version of this same WizMind 5 Pro AI platform. Choose the dome (this product) for shopping centres, vandal-prone interiors and ceiling-mount installs; choose the bullet for outdoor wall mount and longer IR throw.
