    Verdict

    Dahua PSDW81642M-A180-D440-S3 captures more pixel detail (14.9 MP vs 14.7 MP), useful for license-plate or face identification at distance. Dahua PSDW81642M-A180-D440-S3 reaches further (400 m vs 150 m) — better for perimeter and parking-lot wide shots. Dahua PSDW81642M-A180-D440-S3 has stronger IR illumination (400 m vs 150 m) — better for unlit corridors and night perimeter.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is Dahua PSDW81642M-A180-D440-S3 better than Dahua PSDW81652S-A360-D440?

    Dahua PSDW81642M-A180-D440-S3 captures more pixel detail (14.9 MP vs 14.7 MP), useful for license-plate or face identification at distance. Dahua PSDW81642M-A180-D440-S3 reaches further (400 m vs 150 m) — better for perimeter and parking-lot wide shots. Dahua PSDW81642M-A180-D440-S3 has stronger IR illumination (400 m vs 150 m) — better for unlit corridors and night perimeter. For installation-specific advice — mounting height, tilt, obstacle shadowing, BOM and PoE budget — drop both cameras into CCTVplanner and the FOV cones, DORI rings (per EN 62676-4) and cable schedule render in real time on a satellite map or imported floor plan.

    What is the field of view of Dahua PSDW81642M-A180-D440-S3 vs Dahua PSDW81652S-A360-D440?

    Dahua PSDW81642M-A180-D440-S3 has a 180° horizontal FOV at 5.5-220mm. Dahua PSDW81652S-A360-D440 has a 360° horizontal FOV at 5.2-210mm. Dahua covers a wider scene at the same distance; the FOV calculator on CCTVplanner converts these into linear meters of coverage at any chosen target distance.

    Which camera has stronger IR illumination?

    Dahua PSDW81642M-A180-D440-S3 reaches 400 m of IR illumination versus 150 m for Dahua PSDW81652S-A360-D440. The further-reaching IR camera is the better fit for unlit yards, parking perimeters and warehouses without permanent lighting.

    Can I plan a project mixing Dahua and Dahua cameras?

    Yes. CCTVplanner is multi-vendor by design — drop Dahua and Dahua cameras on the same canvas, share the same EN 62676-4 lens math and DORI ring overlays, and consolidate them into one BOM with cable schedule and PoE budget. Vendor design tools (Axis Site Designer, Hikvision HiTools, Dahua Project Design Tool, i-PRO SDT) cannot do this because each speaks only its own catalog.
