    Verdict

    Avigilon 2.0C-H5A-HB2-IR captures more pixel detail (2.1 MP vs 0.3 MP), useful for license-plate or face identification at distance. Dahua TPC-BF3221P-T reaches further (300 m vs 100 m) — better for perimeter and parking-lot wide shots. Avigilon 2.0C-H5A-HB2-IR has stronger IR illumination (100 m vs 30 m) — better for unlit corridors and night perimeter. Avigilon 2.0C-H5A-HB2-IR ships a low-light / ColorVu sensor — better in mixed-light retail or city-street scenes.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is Dahua TPC-BF3221P-T better than Avigilon 2.0C-H5A-HB2-IR?

    Avigilon 2.0C-H5A-HB2-IR captures more pixel detail (2.1 MP vs 0.3 MP), useful for license-plate or face identification at distance. Dahua TPC-BF3221P-T reaches further (300 m vs 100 m) — better for perimeter and parking-lot wide shots. Avigilon 2.0C-H5A-HB2-IR has stronger IR illumination (100 m vs 30 m) — better for unlit corridors and night perimeter. Avigilon 2.0C-H5A-HB2-IR ships a low-light / ColorVu sensor — better in mixed-light retail or city-street scenes. 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 TPC-BF3221P-T vs Avigilon 2.0C-H5A-HB2-IR?

    Dahua TPC-BF3221P-T has a 60° horizontal FOV at 7mm. Avigilon 2.0C-H5A-HB2-IR has a 30° horizontal FOV at 9-22mm. 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?

    Avigilon 2.0C-H5A-HB2-IR reaches 100 m of IR illumination versus 30 m for Dahua TPC-BF3221P-T. 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 Avigilon cameras?

    Yes. CCTVplanner is multi-vendor by design — drop Dahua and Avigilon 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.
