Review: Dahua IPC-HDW4421M WDR 4MP Network IR Eyeball Camera

This IPC-HDW4421M Dahua 4 Megapixel IP Eyeball Camera is little and with an inconspicuous layout. I'm installing this video camera mostly interior as well as I'm really happy with the picture high quality it provides and also the excellent responsive user interface. The little dimension and also the eyeball form of the video camera makes it excellent for indoor installation.The IPC- HDW4421M makes use of a 4MP CMOS sensor presenting a maximum of 4MP at 20 fps, or 3MP at 30 fps.

For this review I'm using the Dahua logo camera classified on package DH-IPC-HDW4421M. Package is white with the Dahua logo design in red color. I've made use of the OEM version of this the video camera (identified IPC-HDW4421M) which comes on brown box. Technically both of the cameras have the very same hardware as well as specs, the difference being the logo design (the OEM has no logo design on the camera). As you can think of, the price is various for both of them, the logo one being much more pricey. For my projects I normally use the OEM variations, considering that I haven't seen any kind of distinction in between two. This model begins these lens dimensions: 2.8 mm (angle of sight: 106 degree), 3.6 mm, the one reviewed right here (angle of view: 84 degree) and also 6 mm, unique order (angle of sight 56 degree).

Setup
The HDW4421M 4MP Dahua Eyeball IP cam sustains PoE or it can be powered through a power adapter also (12V, a minimum of 600mA). Mounting this camera is a very easy task, to start with make certain the installation atmosphere can support 3X wight of the cam (1 extra pound). To make points very easy use the installation map and also stick it on the installment surface area (ceiling, wall surface etc). Usually the setup for this video camera is very easy and it can be positioned any type of instructions (3 axis), mindful not to smear the eye of the cam.
đánh giá camera ezviz và ebitcam doesn't sustain Micro SD, which implies it's not able to function as standalone (unless you require real-time sight just). To keep the fooatge you require a Network Video Recorder or a PC-based NVR (making use of a third-party software application). From my experience this camera functions much better if attached on a Dahua brand NVR (4 network, 8 network, 16 channel). It will work on Hikvision NVR or other brands making use of the ONVIF protocol (nevertheless in this instance it needs much more hand-operated configuration).

Arrangement

First you require to put the cam on your network. Link your video camera to your router or switch making use of the ethernet cable. Ensure the switch sustains PoE, if not the camera requires to be powered using a power adapter (12V, 600mA). HAINAMCCTV đơn vị Phân phối và Lắp đặt Camera an ninh hàng đầu Việt Nam.

Keep in mind: If the tool doesn't note any type of IP electronic camera, make sure the video camera as well as the laptop/computer are on the very same network and that the cabling is functioning correctly. The default IP of Dahua video camera is 192.168.1.108, change to match your network. In this instance, I set the IP of my camera to: 192.168.1.119.
Usage Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox ESR to access the camera. The webplugin requires to be installed and permitted to use all the features. One the Liveview tab you can check the real-time feed as well as button in between the Mainstream as well as Substream. To access the electronic camera's setups most likely to Setup tab. Under the Network > TCP/IP you can inspect the cam's IP address, gateway, Subnet mask and also the DNS web server. My recommendation is to keep the IP fixed, so you constantly recognize what's the IP of your gadget.

Under the Camera, on Conditions you can adjsut the picture settings such as Brightness, Contrast, Sharpness. The Anti-flicker setups need to get on Outdoor if the electronic camera is going outside or 60HZ for the setups happening in USA (if the camera is readied to 50HZ the picture might flicker).

On the Camera > Video you can modify the video setups. By default the encode setting so H. 264H which makes use of a lot more complex inscribing formulas and also will create far better high quality video at an equivalent transfer rate (of H. 264). Limit structure price for 4MP is 20fps, it can be decreased in case you wish to have actually space saved on the disk drive. The bitrate for 4Mp need to be between 4-8 Mbpbs. As you can see on the picture below, there are two modes Mainstream as well as Substream. Mainstream is what's mosting likely to be recorded/stored on the hard drive, the Substream is set on lower setups (resolution, bitrate) and it's implied when the system/camera is accessed from another location via phone (so it can load faster). Nevertheless on the app you can switch between Mainstream and Substream.

The Motion Detection can be found under Event and then Video Detect. First see to it the Motion is allowed as well as you can readjust the various other setups. For example the movement can be made it possible for only on particular timeframes (to adjust click Period). The motion can be connected in order to get emails, or have actually snapshot saved on hard drive, show a message on the display or perhaps make is beep (when attached to a recorder).

On the Region feature, you can exclude parts of the picture that you do not desire the video camera to be triggered from. Allow's say there's a tree on your backyard that is activating your video camera, utilizing this attribute you can omit the tree from the cam. An additional interesting function on this area is the capability to have particular areas on different sensitivities (in this example the yellow area is more sensitive than the remainder of the picture). The reduced the area limit, the less complicated to set off activity detection. You can establish various limit for every area. The variety is 0 ~ 100. The recommenced value is 0 ~ 10.

One of the features I like about this video camera is the Face Detect feature. I had specific customers that requested this particular feature and also generally the Face Detect functions fine as long as the cam is installed effectively. From my experience: Face Detect functions excellent if the cam is placed on entry factors where a single person at once is available in (for instance the entryway of a residence) and also if the electronic camera is mounted reduced, almost on eye level. This camera does not support the Micro SD card, so you'll require a recorder that sustains the Face Detect to store the pictures (identified faces).

Daytime and Nighttime picture quality
The daytime photo quality is sharp, clear and vibrant. The 4 Megapixel resolution offers a clear image as well as combined with the right lens size will certainly help you get an excellent sight of the location you need to monitor. Listed below you can see the video footage from a jobsite, the city light level is modest level.
The video camera includes 12 items of IR and according to the manufacturer it will certainly develop to 98 feet (30 meter). From my experience, the nighttime picture on this cam is decent as well as sharp and also it's ideal for interior setups. Nevertheless for outside usage, the IRs are not that powerful (but the night picture is still suitable).

Final thought
The Dahua DH-IPC-HDW4421M 4MP Eyeball IP electronic camera provides high quality image for a budget-friendly rate. As you see on the video footage posted above, the photo is clear as well as sharp, on both daytime as well as nightvision. For CCTV installers or DIY individuals this cam is exceptional for mid-range offerings as well as absolutely and also a perfect option for interior configurations. The size as well as the form makes the camera not extremely obvious and most definitely mixes well with the surroundings (non intrusive).
