Verdict
Dahua PSDW83242M-A360-D845L-S3 captures more pixel detail (31.1 MP vs 22.1 MP), useful for license-plate or face identification at distance. Dahua PSDW83242M-A360-D845L-S3 reaches further (500 m vs 400 m) — better for perimeter and parking-lot wide shots. Dahua PSDW83242M-A360-D845L-S3 has stronger IR illumination (500 m vs 400 m) — better for unlit corridors and night perimeter.
Frequently asked questions
Is Dahua PSDW83242M-A360-D845L-S3 better than Dahua PSDW82442M-A270-D440-S3?
Dahua PSDW83242M-A360-D845L-S3 captures more pixel detail (31.1 MP vs 22.1 MP), useful for license-plate or face identification at distance. Dahua PSDW83242M-A360-D845L-S3 reaches further (500 m vs 400 m) — better for perimeter and parking-lot wide shots. Dahua PSDW83242M-A360-D845L-S3 has stronger IR illumination (500 m vs 400 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 PSDW83242M-A360-D845L-S3 vs Dahua PSDW82442M-A270-D440-S3?
Dahua PSDW83242M-A360-D845L-S3 has a 360° horizontal FOV at 5.5-248mm. Dahua PSDW82442M-A270-D440-S3 has a 270° horizontal FOV at 5.5-220mm. 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 PSDW83242M-A360-D845L-S3 reaches 500 m of IR illumination versus 400 m for Dahua PSDW82442M-A270-D440-S3. 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.
