Dahua IPC-HFW7442H-Z-X 4MP WizMind X IR Bullet Camera

IPC-HFW7442H-Z-X is a 4 MP IR bullet from the Dahua WizMind X series, built for scenes that need analytics rather than just pictures. It runs ANPR, face recognition, PPE detection, people counting and parking space management on the camera, can run two intelligent functions at once, and records at up to 50/60 fps at 2688 x 1520.

An analytics bullet for gates, car parks and PPE checkpoints

The datasheet describes a Time-Division Exposure function that keeps snapshot quality when several targets appear together, and ANPR that recognises plate, vehicle logo, type and colour for vehicles moving up to 60 km/h, with 10,000 blocklist and 10,000 allowlist records. Face recognition supports five face databases and up to 200,000 face pictures, and PPE detection checks workwear, hat, mask, gloves, boots, seatbelt and safety vest.

The motorized 2.7 to 12 mm lens at F1.2 covers 107 to 48 degrees horizontal. DORI figures are 60.4 m detect at wide and 128.7 m detect at tele. Eight GB of ROM and 4 GB of RAM host the analytics, and five streams are available.

Selection and ordering guide

The datasheet lists DH-IPC-HFW7442H-Z-X as 4MP IR Bullet WizMind Network Camera. Moderate anti-corrosion protection is stated for the -ATC model only, and NEMA Type 4X is marked optional, so state the variant you need in the enquiry.

Choose this model when the task is ANPR, PPE or face matching; the WizSense 2 and 3 cameras in the Dahua range list perimeter and motion analytics but not these functions on their datasheets (derived comparison).

Installation and operation notes

The camera accepts 12 VDC, 24 VAC and PoE+. Dahua lists the PFA154 pole bracket and PFM900-E mount tester. For ANPR, face recognition and PPE, set camera height, angle and exposure to the manual guidance; the datasheet refers to the installation and commissioning manual and project design tool for intelligent function distances. Web access supports Chrome, Firefox and IE11, and management is through SmartPSS Lite, DSS or DMSS.

Applications in Oman and the GCC

Typical uses are factory and plant gates with plate capture, contractor induction points that check helmets and vests, car parks with space counting, and retail entrances with people counting. The -40 to +65 C operating range and IK10 suit exposed mounting; the optional coating and NEMA 4X variant are relevant for washdown or coastal exposure.

Selection and installation notes

A security camera is selected from the scene, the distance, the light level and the analytics needed. Plan the mounting height and angle, the PoE or power supply, the cable run and the storage for the number of recording days required, set a strong password at commissioning and keep the firmware current. Check the coverage at night as well as in daylight.
