DAHUA CAMERA PRODUCT CODE NAME - READING GUIDE

GUIDE TO READING DAHUA CAMERA PRODUCT CODE NAMES

As we can see from the table above, the names of Dahua camera devices are divided into 11 separate parts. Each part represents a different feature or model number, and we can therefore divide them into three main categories:

I. Camera Type:

• DH is the name of the camera manufacturer. In this article, we will only discuss Dahua devices, because this combination of letters is the same in all cases.

• IPC is an abbreviation for a type of video camera. The most common are digital (IPC) devices, but analog HDCVI (HAC) models are becoming increasingly popular.

• H - a symbol indicating the camera's ability to capture images at high resolution. Because all modern surveillance systems require the installation of devices with a large number of pixels in a sensitive array, all new cameras by default have the letter H in their code.

II. Lens type and brand:

The following combination of letters can have one, two, or three letters, allowing us to identify the type of camera lens and body the manufacturer used.

• F: Fixed box type.

• D: Fixed-mount bridge type.

• DW: Fixed-mount dome type with infrared.

• DB: Fixed-mount bridge type with vandal-proof features.

• DBW: Fixed-mount dome type with infrared and vandal-proof features.

• HDPW: A flexible plastic sphere with infrared capabilities.

• FW: Infrared Bullet

• UM: Battery port

• EBW: Fish eye

• PDBW: Wide-angle dome (multi-lens 180/360) vandal-proof, with infrared.

• PFW: Box-shaped with wide viewing angle (multi-lens 180/360), with infrared.
