Extra Info
WizMind AI Suite – Advanced Analytics Platform
This camera is part of Dahua’s WizMind series, designed for high-precision AI-driven applications. It supports:
-
Facial analytics for identifying and enhancing face images
-
Perimeter protection with smart human/vehicle classification
-
Queue management to monitor service wait lines or bottlenecks
-
Heat mapping for visualizing foot traffic patterns across monitored areas
These capabilities make it ideal for retail analytics, access control, and public safety monitoring.
Smart Illumination with Dual Warm LEDs
Equipped with dual warm white LEDs, the camera intelligently activates lighting in low-light environments to capture full-color video. The brightness adjusts automatically based on scene lighting and object distance—preventing overexposure or glare. Sensitivity and behavior settings can be customized through the on-screen display (OSD) remotely.
People Counting & Queue Management
Using AI algorithms, the camera supports up to 4 independent rules to:
-
Count people entering or exiting a defined zone
-
Track how many are queuing in a specific area
-
Trigger alarms when queue lengths exceed set thresholds
-
Generate daily, monthly, or yearly reports to support data-driven decisions
This is especially useful for retail operations, public venues, and offices seeking crowd control and efficiency tracking.
Advanced Face Detection – Smart Snapshot Optimization
The built-in face detection feature captures, tracks, and enhances facial details for high-quality snapshots. You can fine-tune settings such as:
-
Detection angle (for frontal or angled faces)
-
Snapshot method (real-time or event-triggered)
-
Exposure correction for clearer facial recognition
These tools help improve accuracy and reliability in both live monitoring and forensic review scenarios.
