Dahua
IPC-HDW5459T-ZE-IL
The Dahua IPC-HDW5459T-ZE-IL is a 4MP varifocal turret with a large 1/1.8-inch sensor and Smart Dual Light night vision. ONVIF and RTSP are fully local, making it a first-class Home Assistant and Frigate camera.
The current successor to the Frigate community’s beloved IPC-T5442T-ZE: same big-sensor low-light pedigree, now with Smart Dual Light (IR plus warm light), SMD 4.0 person/vehicle detection, and a motorized 2.7–12mm lens. HA connects through the ONVIF integration (Profile S/G/T/M) for the RTSP stream and PullPoint motion/IVS events; use an H.264 stream for HA. IP67, PoE+ or 12V DC, microSD up to 1TB. Dahua’s site is a spec reference; in the US these are bought through distributors such as EmpireTech (the equivalent US SKU drops the HDW prefix).
