Dahua 5MP WizColor Turret
Dahua DH-IPC-HDW2549EMP-S-PRO-ANZ — 5 MP WizColor PRO Fixed-Focal Eyeball Turret WizSense Network Camera with Built-In Mic (2549 Series)
The Dahua DH-IPC-HDW2549EMP-S-PRO-ANZ is the 2549 series 5 MP WizColor turret — built around a 1/1.8" CMOS Starlight sensor paired with Dahua's brightest F1.0 large-aperture WizColor lens for class-leading full-colour low-light performance. The native 5 MP output (2960 × 1668) captures more than twice the pixel density of 1080p; a 30 m warm-light array delivers full-colour 24/7 surveillance without the harsh white-light pop-on of an active-deterrence camera, while the WizSense 2 deep-learning chip runs SMD Plus (Smart Motion Detection) with human and vehicle classification at the edge. The compact eyeball turret form factor (HDW chassis) mounts cleanly under Australian eaves, soffits, awnings and undercover ceilings; built-in microphone, 120 dB WDR, IP67 sealing and standard PoE (802.3af) round out the spec. Backed by a 3-year Australian warranty through CCTV Guru as authorised Dahua AU reseller.

Why Choose the Dahua HDW2549EMP-S-PRO-ANZ WizColor Turret
F1.0 WizColor — 24/7 Full Colour
The 1/1.8" CMOS Starlight sensor paired with Dahua's brightest F1.0 large-aperture WizColor optics captures usable full-colour video at low light levels where standard cameras flip to IR black-and-white. The 30 m warm-light array kicks in when ambient drops below the F1.0 sensitivity threshold.
True 5 MP Detail
Native 2960 × 1668 at 20 fps (4 MP at 25/30 fps) — more than twice the pixel density of 1080p.
Discreet Eyeball Turret
Compact HDW chassis mounts cleanly to eaves, soffits, awnings and undercover ceilings.
SMD Plus — Human / Vehicle Classification
WizSense 2 deep-learning chip runs Smart Motion Detection at the edge, classifying every motion event as human, vehicle or "other".
120 dB WDR for AU Sun
Wide dynamic range holds detail in both the bright sky and the dark interior in a single frame.
Standard PoE — Runs on Anything
IEEE 802.3af compliant with a modest power budget. Works on any quality PoE switch.
Important Install Note
The HDW2549EMP is a fixed-focal turret — frame the camera carefully at install time, as there's no remote re-framing later. The eyeball gimbal allows ±75° pan, ±75° tilt and 0–360° rotation. For outdoor installs in exposed coastal or humid positions, pair with the DH-PFA137 in-ceiling junction box.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does "WizColor" mean?
WizColor is Dahua's name for cameras built around a large-aperture lens (F1.0 here) paired with a 1/1.8" or larger Starlight CMOS. The result is class-leading full-colour low-light performance.
Does the camera support AcuPick attribute search?
No. AcuPick is reserved for the higher-tier WizSense 3 Smart Dual Light cameras.
Does it have IR or just warm light?
Warm light only — 30 m built-in warm-light array for full-colour night vision.
Can I run this camera on standard PoE?
Yes — it is 802.3af-compliant.
How far can it see at night?
The 30 m warm-light array delivers usable full-colour video at the lit zone.
Does it have a microphone?
Yes — the "EM" in the SKU indicates built-in microphone.
Does it work with third-party NVRs?
Yes — ONVIF Profile S, G and T are supported.
What temperature range is it rated for?
−30 °C to +60 °C.
Can I view the camera live on my phone?
Yes — the camera works with Dahua's free DMSS app on iOS and Android.
