Extra Info
SMD+ Smart Detection
The camera leverages SMD+ (Smart Motion Detection Plus) to detect only meaningful movement, such as people and vehicles, while ignoring distractions like swaying trees, animals, or shadows. This AI-enhanced motion detection significantly reduces false alerts, ensuring you receive accurate notifications that require attention—perfect for minimizing unnecessary checks in high-traffic or outdoor areas.
IVS (Intelligent Video Surveillance)
Built-in IVS functions like tripwire and intrusion detection allow you to define virtual lines or zones within the camera's field of view. When a person or vehicle crosses these boundaries, the camera can trigger alerts or recording. It’s a smart and effective way to secure entry points, driveways, hallways, or restricted zones, providing more control over your surveillance environment.
One-Tap Disarming
With one-tap disarming, you can quickly silence alerts during specific timeframes—like store hours, maintenance periods, or scheduled deliveries. This can be done via the app or based on user-defined schedules. It’s especially useful for business owners or security staff who want to avoid unnecessary alerts during predictable, safe times.
Smart H.265+ Compression
To reduce strain on storage space and network bandwidth, the camera uses Smart H.265+ compression, which dynamically compresses footage by prioritizing important content (e.g., motion or changes in the scene) and reducing data for static backgrounds. This ensures high-quality video while using up to 70% less storage, making it ideal for continuous or long-term recording setups.
Weather-Ready Protection
Rated IP67, the camera is dust-tight and water-resistant, capable of enduring rain, dust storms, and extreme temperatures. This makes it well-suited for outdoor installations in a variety of climates—from humid tropical areas to dry and dusty regions—without needing additional protection.
Built-in Mic & Speaker
This model comes equipped with an integrated microphone and speaker, allowing you to:
- Listen to ambient sounds or conversations
- Communicate in real-time
-
Issue voice warnings or instructions to intruders or visitors
It also includes RCA audio I/O ports, allowing you to connect external microphones or speakers if needed—perfect for entrance gates, parking lots, or monitored lobbies.
WizSense AI
At the heart of the system is Dahua’s WizSense AI platform, which uses a deep learning processor to focus specifically on human and vehicle detection. This enhances not just real-time alerts but also improves playback filtering and event search when reviewing footage—resulting in faster, smarter surveillance for homes, businesses, and public areas alike.
Q&A
Q: Can this camera record in full color at night?
