Dahua DH-IPC-HDW5541TM-ASE-0280-S3 — 5 MP Pro AI Fixed-Focal IR Eyeball Turret WizMind 5 Network Camera (5541 Series, 2.8 mm)

The DH-IPC-HDW5541TM-ASE-0280-S3 from Dahua sits in the 5541 series (S3 refresh) as the 5 MP WizMind 5 Pro AI fixed-lens eyeball turret — the turret-style counterpart to the HDBW5541RP-ASE-0280B vandal dome. At its core is a 1/2.7" CMOS sensor that records 2592 × 1944 at 20 fps, or full 50/60 fps at 1080p. Its 2.8 mm fixed F1.6 lens gives a broad 113° horizontal view, on-board IR illumination extends to 50 m, WDR performance is rated at 120 dB, and the compact metal body carries an IP67 weather rating. The WizMind 5 deep-learning platform brings the complete Pro AI toolkit to the camera — on-board face recognition with a local database, perimeter protection, people counting, heat mapping and SMD Plus. Connectivity includes a built-in microphone, 1/1 RCA audio in/out, 1/1 alarm wet-contact, and ePoE support for cable runs up to 800 m over Cat6. It suits project-grade Australian deployments that call for a low-profile eyeball housing with Pro AI on board — retail stores, shopping centres, schools, council sites, hospitals and design-sensitive commercial buildings. Covered by a 5-year Australian warranty. SKU 5541 series.

Why Choose the Dahua HDW5541TM-ASE WizMind 5 Pro AI Turret

WizMind 5 Full Pro AI

The flagship Pro AI feature set in full: face recognition backed by an on-camera database, perimeter protection, people counting, heat map and SMD Plus.

True 5 MP Detail

Records natively at 2592 × 1944 and 20 fps — close to 2.5× the pixel density you get from 1080p.

Wide 113° FOV

The 2.8 mm fixed lens takes in a generous 113° scene, letting one camera watch over a large area.

ePoE — 800 m PoE

Pushes PoE distance out to 800 m over Cat6 cabling.

50 m Long-Range IR

The integrated IR array illuminates scenes up to 50 m away.

Discreet Eyeball Form Factor

The low-profile metal turret sits neatly under eaves, soffits, awnings and sheltered ceilings.

Important Install Note

This is a fixed-focal (2.8 mm) camera — set your framing when you mount it. The eyeball gimbal offers ±75° of pan, ±75° of tilt and 0–360° rotation. To achieve the 800 m ePoE range, connect it to a Dahua ePoE switch or NVR.

AI & Smart Detection

Face Recognition (Database)

Stores a face database of up to 10,000 entries directly on the camera.

Perimeter Protection (IVS)

Configure tripwire lines and intrusion zones, with targets classified as human or vehicle.

People Counting + Heat Map

Tracks entries and exits and generates dwell-time heat maps.

SMD Plus

Filters motion events so alerts fire only for people and vehicles.

Built-in Mic

An on-board microphone plus 1/1 RCA audio in/out for connecting an external mic or speaker.

Abnormality Detection

Flags SD card, network, IP conflict and tampering events.
