This 4MP fixed-lens eyeball camera combines clear image quality, smart motion detection, and a built-in mic in a vandal-resistant housing. It's great for homes or small business security setups where two-way audio isn't needed but audio recording is a plus. The starlight feature improves night performance, and its tough IP67/IK10 rating means it’s ready for harsh outdoor use.

Extra Info
Starlight Low-Light Imaging – See Color Longer at Night
Equipped with Dahua’s advanced Starlight technology, this camera offers outstanding visibility in dim conditions. It captures full-color images longer before switching to black-and-white IR mode, unlike typical night vision cameras. This is essential for identifying important scene details such as clothing color, vehicle paint, or facial features, even when ambient light is minimal—making it perfect for alleyways, entrances, or early evening surveillance.
Smart IVS Motion Detection – Smarter Alerts, Less Noise
This model supports Intelligent Video System (IVS) functions, including tripwire and intrusion detection. These virtual boundaries allow you to define specific zones or lines in the camera’s field of view. When motion is detected in these zones—especially from a human or vehicle—the system triggers an alert. This helps eliminate false notifications from irrelevant movement like leaves, shadows, or animals, ensuring your attention is only drawn to real threats.
Built-in Microphone – Audio Included
The integrated microphone allows for ambient sound recording without the need for extra wiring. It’s ideal for areas like interview rooms, storefronts, or reception areas where voice recording or ambient sound can support incident verification, identify disturbances, or complement visual footage during playback.
Smart Codec with H.265+ – Efficient Video Storage
The camera uses Smart H.265+ compression, which dynamically adjusts based on motion and scene complexity. During calm periods, less data is recorded, and during activity, important details are preserved. This intelligent encoding helps reduce both bandwidth usage and storage requirements by up to 70%, making it a cost-effective solution for long-term recording or when using limited-capacity NVRs or SD cards.
Tough Exterior Protection – Built for Real-World Environments
With IP67 weatherproofing, the camera is sealed against rain, dust, and harsh climates, ensuring year-round outdoor performance. Meanwhile, its IK10-rated metal housing offers strong protection against vandalism or impact, making it ideal for public areas, building exteriors, or locations prone to tampering. It’s designed to perform reliably—even in rugged or high-traffic environments.
