Digital Watchdog DWC-PVF5Di1TW 5MP Outdoor IR Fisheye IP Camera

Digital Watchdog DWC-PVF5Di1TW 5MP Fisheye IR Camera

The Digital Watchdog DWC-PVF5Di1TW is a professional-grade 5MP fisheye IP camera engineered for comprehensive outdoor surveillance. With its 185° horizontal and vertical fields of view, this camera delivers panoramic coverage ideal for monitoring large perimeters, parking areas, and critical infrastructure. Built on a 6.4MP 1/1.8" CMOS sensor, the camera captures exceptional detail across dynamic lighting conditions while maintaining robust durability in harsh environments.

Key Features

• 5MP resolution at 2592 x 1944 active pixels for superior image clarity
• 360° panoramic fisheye coverage with 185° HFOV and VFOV
• Smart IR™ technology with 80-foot night vision range
• IP66-rated housing with IK09 impact resistance for outdoor durability
• PoE-powered operation (max 8.7W) for simplified installation
• Dual-stream capability supporting H.264, H.265, and MJPEG compression
• Advanced video analytics: intrusion detection, line crossing, loitering, tamper detection, and IVA+ features
• 16 programmable privacy masks for sensitive area protection
• Micro SD/SDHC/SDXC onboard storage up to 1TB

Technical Highlights

This camera operates seamlessly across -4°F to 122°F (-20°C to 50°C) environments, making it suitable for extreme climates. The Smart DNR™ 3D digital noise reduction ensures clean footage even at high frame rates, while auto day/night switching and backlight compensation optimize image quality regardless of lighting. The fixed 1.55mm lens delivers an ultra-wide field of view without compromising edge clarity.

With dual-stream architecture, you can stream preview and recording at different resolutions and bitrates independently, maximizing bandwidth efficiency. Support for up to 30 fps at all resolutions provides smooth motion capture for fast-moving subjects. The camera supports multiple network protocols including RTSP, HTTP/HTTPS, SNMP, and integration with major VMS platforms such as DW Spectrum® IPVMS, ExacqVision, and Milestone Systems.

Applications

Ideal for parking lots, building perimeters, warehouse monitoring, traffic intersections, and campus surveillance. The comprehensive analytics suite—including intrusion, loitering, counting line, and object removal detection—enables proactive threat response. Programmable alarm outputs and email/FTP notifications facilitate rapid incident escalation.

The DWC-PVF5Di1TW excels in scenarios requiring maximum coverage from a single vantage point. Its 185° fields of view eliminate corner blind spots common with traditional cameras, reducing infrastructure costs. The combination of Smart IR and low-light sensitivity (0.039 lux color mode) ensures reliable 24/7 operation without supplemental lighting.

H.265 codec support significantly reduces bandwidth and storage demands compared to H.264, critical for deployments with bandwidth constraints. IK09 rating and aluminum die-casting construction provide exceptional durability against vandalism and environmental stress. The 5-year warranty reflects manufacturer confidence in long-term reliability.
