Dahua 5MP HDCVI IR Eyeball Camera Built-in Mic Grey Housing HAC-HDW1500TL-A

The HAC-HDW1500TL-A is the standard-sensitivity HDCVI camera in the 5MP analogue range, distinct from the Starlight HAC-HDW2501T-Z in the low-light performance: the HDW1500TL-A switches to monochrome IR illuminated night vision when ambient light falls below its sensor’s colour threshold, while the Starlight camera maintains colour output in conditions where the standard camera would already be in monochrome mode.

For installations where colour night vision is not a priority, the HDW1500TL-A provides 5MP daytime image quality and standard IR night vision at a lower cost than the Starlight model. This is appropriate for installations where the camera is primarily monitoring a well-lit area, where the night-time recording is needed for evidence but colour night-time imagery is not specifically required, or where the installation budget calls for 5MP cameras without the Starlight premium.

The grey housing variant is the correct specification for dark-coloured mounting surfaces: dark grey or charcoal rendered walls, dark timber soffit boards, and external surfaces where a standard white camera would be visually prominent. As with the grey IP camera in batch 7 (IPC-HDW3541EMP-AS-0280-GREY), the grey housing suits the installation aesthetics and reduces the visibility of the camera against a dark background.

The built-in microphone provides audio recording capability alongside video for DVRs with audio support.

For CCTV installers specifying 5MP HDCVI analogue cameras in grey housing without Starlight across London and the UK where standard IR night vision at lower cost is the correct specification, the HAC-HDW1500TL-A grey provides the appropriate camera.
