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
This camera uses multi-core IR and warm white light LEDs that intelligently switch based on activity and ambient lighting. In IR mode, the camera records in black and white to preserve night visibility while staying discreet. When motion is detected—or when triggered by AI rules—it automatically switches to warm light to illuminate the scene and capture full-colour footage, even in total darkness. This dual-mode setup ensures both covert monitoring and visual deterrence, adapting seamlessly to different lighting and security needs.
SMD 4.0 – Smarter Motion Detection
With SMD (Smart Motion Detection) 4.0, the camera doesn't just detect motion—it accurately filters out irrelevant objects like rain, pets, insects, or swaying trees. Instead, it prioritizes humans and vehicles, helping reduce false alarms by over 90%. When paired with a Dahua AI NVR, users gain access to Quick Pick—an intuitive search function that pulls up relevant video clips based on person or vehicle detection, making footage review faster and more efficient.
AcuPick for Targeted Video Search
AcuPick brings powerful AI-assisted search to your surveillance system. After an event, you can click on a person or vehicle seen in recorded footage, and the system will quickly find all matching instances across video archives. No more scrubbing through hours of footage. This is ideal for retail loss prevention, post-incident analysis, and large properties where tracking specific targets can be time-consuming.
AI Scene Self-Adaption (SSA)
AI SSA automatically adjusts image settings in real-time based on the environment. Whether it’s adjusting exposure during a backlit sunset or enhancing contrast in foggy conditions, SSA ensures the scene is always clear, balanced, and rich in detail. It’s especially valuable in dynamic environments like parking lots, commercial zones, or outdoor areas where lighting conditions change constantly.
Active Deterrence (Lights + Audio)
When a threat is detected, this camera doesn’t just record—it takes action. Red and blue flashing lights activate alongside a built-in speaker that can emit sirens or custom voice warnings. You can upload your own audio messages (e.g. “Warning: You are under surveillance”) to suit specific locations or events. This real-time response discourages intruders before a crime occurs, making it ideal for vulnerable perimeters or entryways.
Built-in Two-Way Audio
With dual microphones and a built-in speaker, you can communicate directly with visitors or intruders via your monitoring app or connected NVR. Whether it's telling a delivery driver where to leave a package or warning someone to leave restricted property, two-way talk adds an extra layer of interactivity and control—no extra audio accessories required.
Full-Colour Night Vision with WizColor
Thanks to Dahua’s WizColor Technology, this camera can capture colourful and detailed nighttime footage using only ambient light like streetlamps or moonlight. The large F1.0 aperture lens and advanced image sensor maximize available light while minimizing motion blur. This provides clear identification of people, clothing, vehicles, and license plates—even at night—which is crucial for investigations and real-time verification.
Flexible Integration and Control
The camera supports three simultaneous video streams, works with Dahua’s Smart PSS, DSS, and DMSS apps, and is fully compatible with ONVIF profiles (S, G, T, M) for integration into third-party NVRs or VMS platforms. It also supports one-tap arming/disarming, making it easier for end-users to activate or deactivate surveillance in specific zones. Ideal for businesses with operating hours, or homes with daily routines.
Durable, Weather-Resistant Design
Housed in a metal body with an IP67 rating, the camera is both dust-tight and waterproof, capable of withstanding rain, wind, heat, and freezing conditions. With an operating range of –40°C to +60°C, it’s reliable for year-round deployment in harsh outdoor environments.
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.
