Digital Watchdog - DWC-MF2Wi4TW - 2.1 MP MEGApix IVA Flat Vandal Dome Camera, 4mm Fixed Lens
Product Overview
The Digital Watchdog DWC-MF2Wi4TW is an ultra-low-profile 2.1MP/1080p vandal dome camera featuring a Star-Light Plus™ sensor for superior low-light performance. It comes equipped with a 4.0mm fixed lens, True WDR (120dB), and Smart IR up to 50 feet, all housed in an IP66/IK10-rated rugged enclosure. This NDAA-compliant camera stands out for its suite of Intelligent Video Analytics (IVA), including intrusion and loitering detection, and supports two-way audio alongside local edge storage.
Key Configuration
- • Image sensor: 2.1MP/1080p 1/2.8" Star-Light Plus CMOS; total pixels: 1945 × 1109
- • Lens: 4.0mm fixed at F2.6; field of view: 86° (2.8mm option available: 115° at F2.0)
- • IR distance: Smart IR up to 50 ft (15.2 m); Star-Light Plus color in near-total darkness
- • Video compression: H.265, H.264, MJPEG; bitrate: 100 Kbps – 10 Mbps; dual-stream capable
- • Power: DC12V or PoE (IEEE 802.3af Class 2); power consumption: DC12V max 4W, PoE max 5.5W
Key Features
This NDAA-compliant camera is a powerhouse of Intelligent Video Analytics (IVA), coming standard with rules for intrusion, loitering, and counting lines. An optional IVA+ upgrade adds sophisticated behaviors like tailgating and object-left detection. Visual quality is maintained via True WDR (120dB) and Smart IR up to 50 feet, while two-way audio and alarm I/O ports allow for comprehensive environmental interaction.
Technical Context
Operating on an embedded Linux platform, the camera supports efficient H.265 compression and diverse shutter modes, including anti-flicker and slow shutter for extreme low-light scenes. It is highly secure, utilizing HTTPS (TLS), 802.1x, and IP filtering to protect the network. For local maintenance, it features a CVBS analog video output and supports edge storage via microSD, ensuring recording continuity during network interruptions.
Installation Notes
Housed in an aluminum die-cast enclosure with a polycarbonate dome, the unit is IP66-rated for weather resistance and IK10-rated for impact protection. Its small footprint (4.9" diameter) and ultra-low profile make it perfect for ceilings with limited clearance. The camera is ONVIF conformant, integrates seamlessly with DW Spectrum IPVMS, and is backed by a 5-year warranty.
