Extra Info
SMD Plus for False Alarm Reduction
This camera includes Dahua's Smart Motion Detection (SMD Plus), which uses AI to differentiate people and vehicles from irrelevant motion (like trees, rain, or animals). The result is fewer false alarms and more reliable alerts.
AI Perimeter Protection
Advanced tripwire and intrusion detection algorithms can identify human or vehicle targets specifically, greatly improving alarm accuracy in monitored zones.
Efficient Smart Compression
With Smart H.265+ and H.264+ support, this model delivers high-efficiency encoding to reduce video file sizes without reducing video quality, saving both storage and bandwidth.
Built-in Audio Monitoring
A built-in microphone adds another layer of surveillance by capturing ambient audio — perfect for entrances, reception areas, or high-risk retail zones.
Starlight Low-Light Performance
Thanks to a sensitive 1/2.7" sensor and F1.6 lens, the camera captures usable colour images in low light and seamlessly switches to IR in near-total darkness.
Durable IP67 Housing
Fully weatherproof for harsh environments, including outdoor poles, carparks, and entry gates. It operates in extreme temperatures from –40 °C to +60 °C.
Wide Voltage Tolerance
The camera allows for a ±30% input voltage tolerance (wide voltage range), making it widely applicable for outdoor environments where voltage might be unstable.
Q&A
We know security systems can seem complicated, so here are some common questions to help you understand this powerful kit better:
Q: What exactly does this security kit include?
This kit comes with 4 high-quality Dahua 5MP AI Eyeball cameras and a central recording device called an NVR (Network Video Recorder). By default, you get a 4-channel NVR, which means it can handle up to 4 cameras. You also get an option to add a hard drive for storing your recordings. Essentially, it's everything you need to set up a comprehensive surveillance system.
Q: What's the difference between the 4-channel, 8-channel, and 16-channel NVR options? Which one should I choose?
The "channel" simply refers to how many cameras the NVR can connect to:
- The 4-channel NVR (default) is perfect for smaller homes or businesses, matching the 4 cameras included in this kit.
- The 8-channel NVR (optional upgrade) is for if you think you might want to add more cameras in the future, up to a total of 8.
- The 16-channel NVR (optional upgrade) is the choice for larger properties or if you anticipate significant expansion of your surveillance coverage, allowing up to 16 cameras.
If you're unsure, the 4-channel is a great initial choice, and you can always consult with us if you think your needs might grow.
Q: Can this record in full colour at night?
No, this camera primarily uses IR for black-and-white night vision. However, thanks to its Starlight sensor, it performs very well in low light conditions before switching to IR mode.
Q: How do the cameras "deter" intruders?
While these cameras don't have built-in sirens or flashing lights, their visible presence and the clear video surveillance they provide can act as a deterrent. The cameras and NVR both offer Smart Motion Detection (SMD Plus) and Perimeter Protection, which can trigger accurate alerts and recordings when people or vehicles are detected, helping you respond quickly.
Q: Will I get a lot of false alarms from pets or trees moving?
Not usually. The SMD Plus feature on the camera and NVR helps filter out common false alarms caused by pets, wind, rain, or rustling leaves. It focuses on detecting human and vehicle movement, giving you more accurate alerts.
Q: Can I hear what's happening and talk back through the cameras?
Yes, each camera in this kit has a built-in microphone so you can hear audio from the camera's location when viewing live or recorded footage. These cameras do not support two-way talk.
Q: How do I view the camera footage? Can I see it on my phone?
Absolutely! You can connect the NVR to a monitor for local viewing. More importantly, you can use the free Dahua DMSS app on your iPhone or Android device to view live video, play back recordings, and manage your system from anywhere with an internet connection.
Q: What happens if the NVR's hard drive gets full?
The NVR is designed for continuous recording. Once the hard drive is full, it will automatically start recording over the oldest footage. This ensures you always have the most recent recordings available. The size of your hard drive will determine how many days or weeks of footage you can store before this overwriting begins.
Q: Is this system difficult to install?
While professional installation is always an option, these systems are designed for user-friendliness, especially with Power over Ethernet (PoE), meaning each camera only needs a single Ethernet cable for both power and video. We recommend checking the provided manuals or consulting a professional if you're unsure about the setup.
Q: Do I need internet for this system to work?
The cameras and NVR will record footage locally even without an internet connection. However, an internet connection is essential if you want to view your cameras remotely on your phone or computer, receive smart alerts, or utilize certain advanced AI features that require cloud communication.
Q: What if I forget my NVR password?
For security purposes, resetting an NVR password typically involves a specific process, often requiring access to the local network and generating a unique reset code based on the device's serial number and date. If you ever forget it, contact us, and we can guide you through the secure reset process.
Q: Will this camera work with other NVR brands?
Yes, this camera supports the ONVIF standard, making it compatible with most third-party NVRs.
Q: Can I store footage without an NVR?
Yes, you can insert a MicroSD card (up to 256GB) directly into each camera for onboard storage, providing an additional layer of backup.
Q: Is this camera good for outdoor use?
Absolutely. This camera is IP67 rated, meaning it is fully weatherproof and built to withstand harsh outdoor environments, including rain, dust, and extreme temperatures.
