• 50-foot Smart IR™ infrared night vision range
• True WDR 120dB for balanced exposure in high-contrast scenes
• IP66-rated vandal dome with IK10 impact resistance
• PoE powered (Class 2) with minimal power consumption (max 5.5W)
• Dual lens options: 2.8mm (111° HFOV) or 4.0mm (86° HFOV)
• Auto day/night operation with B/W night mode
• Smart DNR™ 3D digital noise reduction for cleaner low-light footage
• H.264/H.265 video compression with dual-stream capability
• Up to 30fps at all resolutions

Technical Highlights

This camera achieves exceptional low-light performance with 0.09 lux color sensitivity and 0.0 lux black & white capability, enabling reliable surveillance even in near-total darkness. The 120dB Wide Dynamic Range handles complex lighting environments, while motorized lens options and manual/slow shutter modes provide flexible exposure control. Motion detection, 16 programmable privacy masks, and intelligent video analytics (IVA/IVA+ licenses available) support advanced security workflows.

Network connectivity includes ONVIF compatibility, IPv4 support, and multiple protocols (RTSP, RTP, HTTP/HTTPS, SNMP). The camera supports microSD card recording (up to 1TB), email notifications, and alarm outputs. Compatible with DW Spectrum® IPVMS, ExacqVision, and Milestone Systems platforms for seamless integration into existing VMS infrastructure.

Environmental durability is paramount: the aluminum die-cast housing operates reliably from -4°F to 122°F (-20°C to 50°C) with IP66/IK10 ratings protecting against water ingress and impact damage. Compact dimensions (4.92" H x 1.88" W) and lightweight construction (0.88 lbs) simplify mounting on various surfaces.

Applications

Ideal for parking lots, building perimeters, industrial facilities, retail storefronts, and any outdoor environment requiring dependable night vision surveillance. The combination of vandal resistance, weather sealing, and advanced analytics makes this camera suitable for both deterrence and forensic investigation.

The DWC-MF2Wi4TW balances feature density with operational simplicity. The dual-lens flexibility allows deployment in wide-coverage or focused scenarios without requiring separate SKUs. Smart IR™ and True WDR 120dB address the most common outdoor challenges—backlighting and low-light scenes—without expensive external lighting.

PoE Class 2 operation minimizes infrastructure cost compared to higher-power cameras. The 5-year warranty reflects Digital Watchdog's confidence in durability, and ONVIF compliance ensures long-term VMS compatibility. For budget-conscious integrators, the onboard microSD recording and dual-stream support reduce NVR bandwidth demands.

Primary consideration: verify lens focal length (2.8mm vs. 4.0mm) matches your coverage requirements before purchase.
