WizMind 5 · 5 MP · Active Deterrence · 60 m IRDahua DH-IPC-HFW5541TP-AS-PV-0280B — 5 MP Active Deterrence IR Fixed-Focal Bullet WizMind 5 Network Camera (5541 Series)
The Dahua DH-IPC-HFW5541TP-AS-PV-0280B is a 5 MP WizMind 5 active-deterrence bullet built around a 1/2.7" CMOS Starlight sensor with 2592 × 1944 native resolution at 20 fps (4 MP at 25/30 fps). Active deterrence integrates built-in white-light warning plus an audible siren that triggers automatically the moment WizMind perimeter protection classifies a human or vehicle inside an IVS zone — light, sound and DMSS push alert all in one event. The 2.8 mm F1.6 fixed lens delivers 110° horizontal field of view; built-in IR reaches up to 60 m for long-range night surveillance; WDR is 120 dB; the metal housing is IP67 sealed with IK10 vandal rating and TVS 6000 V lightning protection. Built for Australian project-grade installs — school grounds, council reserves, factory yards, freight depots, transport hubs and commercial perimeters where active deterrence and WizMind AI matter more than the cheaper WizSense tier. Backed by a 5-year Australian warranty through CCTV Guru as authorised Dahua AU reseller. SKU 5541 series.
Why Choose the Dahua HFW5541TP-AS-PV-0280B WizMind 5 Active-Deterrence Bullet
White Light + Siren Active Deterrence
Built-in white-light array and audible siren trigger automatically when WizMind classifies a person or vehicle inside an IVS zone. Intruders are challenged on-the-spot — not after the fact when reviewing footage.
WizMind 5 Edge AI — Perimeter Protection
Tripwire, intrusion, fast-moving, abandoned/missing object, loitering, parking detection and people gathering — all with accurate human and vehicle classification. Filters out the false alarms that plague generic motion-detection cameras.
60 m Long-Range IR
Built-in IR array reaches up to 60 m — long-range night surveillance for fence-lines, large yards, council reserves and depot perimeters. Even illumination is the design priority.
True 5 MP Starlight Detail
The 1/2.7" CMOS Starlight sensor captures 2592 × 1944 at 20 fps (4 MP at 25/30 fps) with usable colour at low light levels. WDR is 120 dB for high-contrast Australian outdoor scenes.
Built-In Audio I/O & Alarm Triggers
RCA audio input and output for two-way talk or external siren / speaker integration. Alarm I/O for wiring into a third-party alarm system — one camera handles surveillance, deterrence and alarm-system integration.
IK10 Vandal Metal Housing
Metal housing with IK10 impact rating + TVS 6000 V lightning, surge and voltage-transient protection. Built for exposed Australian outdoor mounts in council, school and transport positions.
Important Install Note
This camera is fixed-focal (2.8 mm) — frame the camera carefully at install time, as there's no remote re-framing later. Active deterrence is loud — volume and play count are configurable in the camera's web UI, and the white-light intensity can be tuned to suit residential / commercial requirements. For coastal or humid Australian installs, pair with a Dahua water-proof junction box to protect the RJ-45 termination.
AI & Smart Detection Capabilities
Perimeter Protection (IVS)
Tripwire, intrusion, fast-moving, abandoned/missing object, loitering, parking detection and people gathering — all with accurate human and vehicle classification.
Active Deterrence — White Light + Siren
Built-in white-light warning array and audible siren trigger automatically on IVS-classified human/vehicle events. Volume, light intensity and trigger duration configurable.
SMD Plus & Motion Filtering
Smart Motion Detection filters out animal, foliage, weather and lighting changes. Only people and vehicles raise alarms in DMSS — drastically lower false-alarm volume.
Face Detection
Captures face snapshots from the bullet feed for forensic playback. Subject to local privacy law for use.
Abnormality Detection
SD card status, network disconnection, IP conflict, video tampering, audio detection and voltage detection — push to DMSS for any abnormal device state.
Two-Way Audio & Alarm I/O
RCA audio input/output for external mic/speaker; alarm I/O for third-party alarm system integration. ONVIF Profile S, G, T compatible.

How It Compares — HFW5541TP-AS-PV (Bullet) vs HDBW5541RP-ASE-0280B (Dome)
The natural sibling is the Dahua DH-IPC-HDBW5541RP-ASE-0280B — the dome version in the same WizMind 5 family. The decision is bullet for visible deterrence vs dome for discreet aesthetics. Both share the same 5 MP Starlight sensor.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the "PV" in the SKU mean?
PV indicates active-deterrence variant — built-in white-light warning array + audible siren that triggers automatically on IVS-classified human/vehicle events.
How loud is the siren?
Configurable via the camera's web UI — volume from 0–100%, play count 1–10 times per trigger. Most residential installs run at 30–50% to challenge intruders without disturbing neighbours.
Does it require PoE+ or will standard PoE work?
Standard 802.3af PoE works — this camera does not require PoE+. Power consumption is well within standard PoE budget.
How is the warranty 5 years rather than 3?
WizMind series products carry a 5-year Australian warranty through CCTV Guru — reflecting their premium project-grade build. Lower-tier WizSense cameras carry 3-year warranty.
How far can it see at night?
Up to 60 m built-in IR — long-range night surveillance with even illumination across the 110° field. With Starlight low-light, the camera can also capture usable colour beyond the IR range in moonlight conditions.
Does it have audio?
Yes — 1× RCA audio input and 1× RCA audio output for external mic/speaker. Plus the built-in active-deterrence siren.
Does it work with third-party NVRs?
Yes — ONVIF Profile S, G and T. Active-deterrence triggers from IVS events only fire on Dahua firmware.
What temperature range is it rated for?
−40 °C to +60 °C. Suitable for Alpine, mountain, desert and tropical Australian deployments.
Can I view it on my phone?
Yes — Dahua's free DMSS app on iOS and Android. Add via QR code on the housing.
