    Frequently asked questions

    Is Dahua TPC-DF1241-TB7F4 better than Dahua TPC-DF2241-T?

    Both cameras offer comparable specs on paper. The choice typically comes down to vendor lock-in, NDAA compliance and existing VMS integrations rather than raw imaging numbers. 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-DF1241-TB7F4 vs Dahua TPC-DF2241-T?

    Dahua TPC-DF1241-TB7F4 has a 90° horizontal FOV at 3.5mm. Dahua TPC-DF2241-T has a 90° horizontal FOV at 3.5mm. Both cover the same angular scene; the FOV calculator on CCTVplanner converts these into linear meters of coverage at any chosen target distance.

    Which camera has stronger IR illumination?

    Dahua TPC-DF2241-T reaches 20 m of IR illumination versus 20 m for Dahua TPC-DF1241-TB7F4. 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.
