What is TIOC?
TiOC stands for Three-in-One Camera, combining Full-Colour Video, Active Deterrence, and AI Detection into one powerful security solution.
With TiOC cameras, you get:
-
Full-Colour Footage 24/7 – even at night, thanks to Smart Dual Illuminators.
-
Smart AI Detection – accurately identifies humans and vehicles, filtering out false
alarms caused by animals, trees, or shadows.
-
Active Deterrence – red and blue warning lights plus a loud siren to stop intruders in their tracks.
These features work together to give you fast, accurate alerts and clear footage any time of day.
How Does It Work?
1. Full-Colour Night Vision with Smart Dual Illuminators
TiOC cameras automatically switch between infrared and LED lighting. When no threat is detected, they use discreet IR. When a person or vehicle enters the scene, the LED lights activate to record in full colour—helping you capture every detail clearly.



2. AI-Powered Detection
Using SMD 4.0 (Smart Motion Detection) and Perimeter Protection, the camera can tell the difference between a person, vehicle, animal, or object. This means:
- You get alerts only when it matters.
- False alarms are reduced to less than 1%.

3. Active Deterrence
When a genuine threat is detected, the camera activates built-in red and blue strobe lights along with a loud audible siren to immediately deter intruders. This proactive response helps prevent incidents before they occur. Users can schedule deterrence features to operate during specific hours—such as overnight—or customise them to suit their needs. For added convenience, a one-touch disarm function allows quick cancellation of the siren when necessary.

Extra Info
Smart Dual Illumination
The Smart Dual Light feature is a significant advancement for night surveillance. Instead of constant white light illumination which can be intrusive, this camera intelligently uses its IR illuminators for discreet monitoring in low light. When the camera's intelligent monitoring (like SMD 4.0) detects a human or vehicle within its field of view, the warm light automatically activates. This serves two crucial purposes: first, it captures full-color video of the event, providing much richer and more actionable evidence (e.g., clothing color, vehicle details); second, the sudden activation of light can act as an immediate deterrent to potential intruders. Once the detected target leaves the monitoring area, the warm light switches off, and the IR illuminator takes over again, efficiently reducing light pollution and conserving power. This dynamic approach ensures optimal image quality when it matters most while maintaining a low profile otherwise.
SMD 4.0
SMD 4.0 (Smart Motion Detection) represents a leap forward in false alarm reduction. Traditional motion detection often triggers alarms based on any movement – be it a pet, a swaying tree, or heavy rain. SMD 4.0, powered by deep learning algorithms, specifically differentiates between human and vehicle shapes and other common objects. This intelligent filtering dramatically cuts down on irrelevant alerts, allowing users to focus on genuine security events. The benefit is less time wasted reviewing false alarms and increased confidence that when an alert does come through, it’s likely a situation that requires attention. It also allows for more precise triggering of active deterrence features based only on relevant targets.
AcuPick
AcuPick is a powerful feature that works in conjunction with compatible Dahua Smart NVRs. It leverages deep learning algorithms to provide highly accurate target matching. When searching through recorded video, instead of manually scrubbing through hours of footage, AcuPick allows users to quickly locate specific targets, such as a person or a motor vehicle, based on characteristics. This significantly speeds up the process of reviewing incidents and finding critical evidence, making post-event investigation far more efficient for security personnel. It transforms the often tedious task of video forensics into a quick and precise operation.
AI Scene Self-Adaption (SSA)
AI Scene Self-Adaptation (SSA) ensures consistent high-quality imaging regardless of environmental lighting changes. This intelligent feature utilizes deep learning algorithms to analyze the scene and automatically adjust the camera's image parameters, such as exposure, gain, and white balance, to suit the current conditions. Whether it's bright sunlight, deep shadows, or sudden changes in cloud cover, SSA optimizes the image to maintain clarity, detail, and proper color representation. This means you get reliable and clear video footage throughout the day and night without manual adjustments, reducing the need for human intervention and ensuring critical details are always visible.
Active Deterrence (Lights + Audio)
The active deterrence capabilities of this camera are designed to prevent incidents from escalating. Beyond simply recording an event, the camera can proactively warn off intruders. Upon detection of a classified human or vehicle (thanks to SMD 4.0), the camera can activate bright red and blue flashing lights, which are highly visible and attention-grabbing, particularly at night. Simultaneously, a built-in siren can sound. The siren's volume is significant, and critically, the camera allows for customized audio messages. This means you could have a pre-recorded warning like "You are on private property, please leave immediately" played directly through the camera's speaker, adding a personalized and effective layer of security. This immediate, localized response can often prevent a crime from occurring or escalating.
Integration with AI NVRs or Mobile Apps
Seamless integration with Dahua AI NVRs and mobile applications like DMSS (for iOS and Android) is central to this camera's utility. When paired with an AI NVR, the camera offloads complex AI processing tasks, allowing for centralized management of intelligent events, more sophisticated search capabilities (like AcuPick and Smart Search), and enhanced recording options. The mobile app provides convenient remote access, allowing users to view live feeds, receive real-time alerts (push notifications), engage in two-way audio, and even arm or disarm the active deterrence features with a single tap, all from their smartphone or tablet. This level of connectivity puts comprehensive security control directly into the user's hands, anytime, anywhere.
Cybersecurity Protections
Dahua builds in strong cybersecurity protections, including encrypted video streams, secure firmware updates, and access controls. This guards against data breaches or unauthorized remote access — a key consideration for business and home networks alike.
