Dahua IPC-PDW5849-A180-E2-ASTE | 8MP 180° Full-Color Cam

8MP Panoramic Coverage From a Single Camera

The Dahua DH-IPC-PDW5849-A180-E2-ASTE uses two 1/1.8" 4MP progressive-scan CMOS sensors and Dahua's image-stitching engine to output one seamless 8MP panoramic stream at 4096 × 1800 @ 25 fps. A true 180° horizontal field of view lets one device replace two or three fixed cameras along a building face, a parking row, a loading dock or a corridor intersection — with one IP address, one licence and one cable run.

Full-Color Night Vision to 40 m

Four built-in warm-light LEDs illuminate up to 40 m (131 ft), and an F1.0 aperture drops minimum illumination to 0.0005 lux in colour. Instead of losing clothing colour, vehicle colour and signage detail to monochrome IR footage, operators keep usable forensic evidence around the clock. 140 dB true WDR holds detail against backlit doorways, garage entrances and headlight glare.

WizMind AI Analytics for Perimeter and Occupancy

Built on Dahua's WizMind 5 platform with human and vehicle classification, the camera delivers Perimeter Protection (tripwire, intrusion, fast-moving, loitering, people gathering, parking detection), Smart Motion Detection, abandoned and missing object detection, heat mapping, and people counting with in-area, stay-time and queue-management rules plus daily, monthly and yearly reporting. EPTZ automatically enlarges and tracks the target that triggered the alarm.

Built for Canadian Winters

The metal IP67 housing is rated for continuous operation from −40 °C to +60 °C (−40 °F to +140 °F), which makes this camera a practical choice for exterior walls, yards, fuel depots and unheated warehouses anywhere in Canada — not just for the shoulder seasons.

Audio, Alarm and Flexible Power

A built-in microphone plus RCA audio input and output support two-way talk for live operator intervention, and one alarm input and one alarm output tie the camera into existing intrusion or access control logic. Power over 12 VDC, PoE+ (802.3at) or ePoE — ePoE extends reliable transmission well beyond the standard 100 m limit over existing cable, which is a real advantage on retrofit sites. A microSD slot supports up to 512 GB of edge recording.

Open Integration

ONVIF Profile S, G and T compliance plus Milestone, CGI and SDK support make the DH-IPC-PDW5849-A180-E2-ASTE straightforward to add to an existing VMS. Dahua DSS, SmartPSS and the DMSS mobile client are fully supported. Cybersecurity features include HTTPS, 802.1x, IP/MAC filtering, account lockout, video and firmware encryption, and trusted boot.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 180° image a single stitched stream or two separate channels?

A single stitched stream. The camera merges both 4MP sensors into one 4096 × 1800 panoramic image, so it consumes one VMS channel and one recorder licence.

Does it record in colour at night?

Yes. Four warm-light LEDs and an F1.0 aperture deliver full-colour video down to 0.0005 lux and up to 40 m (131 ft) of illumination.

What PoE budget should I plan for?

PoE+ (802.3at). Budget 11.8 W per camera when WDR, analytics, warm light and the speaker are all active.

Will it work through a Quebec or Prairie winter?

Yes — the camera is rated for continuous operation down to −40 °C with no external heater required.

Which NVRs and VMS platforms does it work with?

Any Dahua NVR supporting 8MP streams, plus third-party platforms via ONVIF Profile S/G/T and native Milestone integration.
