Install Tips
-
Mount Height: 2.5–3m is optimal for facial recognition and perimeter coverage.
-
Choose Lens Wisely: Use 2.8mm for wide areas, 3.6mm for focused monitoring.
-
Avoid False Alerts: Enable SMD 4.0 to filter out pets, rain, or blowing foliage.
-
Dual Light Setup: Let the Smart Dual Light switch automatically between IR and white light for best efficiency.
-
NVR Integration: For AcuPick functionality, pair with compatible Dahua AI NVR.
-
Smart Recording: Use microSD or NAS as local failover if the NVR is offline.

Extra Info
AI Scene Self-Adaption (SSA)
This feature dynamically adjusts exposure, contrast, and other image settings based on ambient conditions such as fog, glare, or darkness. The result is consistent image quality without manual tweaks.
SMD 4.0 (Smart Motion Detection)
Built to reduce false alarms, SMD 4.0 uses AI to focus on humans and vehicles — even during overlapping movements. When paired with an AI NVR, it enables AcuPick for faster video search.
Smart Dual Light
IR light stays on by default to reduce light pollution. When motion is detected, white light activates to capture full-colour detail. Great for license plates and identifying clothing or faces.
AcuPick Integration
When used with a Dahua AI NVR, AcuPick allows for quick and accurate searches of humans or vehicles, dramatically speeding up footage reviews.
Cybersecurity Ready
Equipped with encrypted transmission, trusted boot, and firmware validation, this camera is hardened against external cyber threats.
Installation Flexibility
Supports wall, ceiling, pole, and junction mounting with a full range of Dahua brackets. Can operate in extreme temperatures (−40 °C to +60 °C).
More About AcuPick - Smart Video Search with Precision AI
Dahua’s AcuPick technology revolutionises video surveillance by using advanced AI to pinpoint people or vehicles across recorded footage with remarkable speed and accuracy. Instead of scrubbing through hours of video manually, AcuPick enables users to filter footage by specific targets, drastically cutting down search times and boosting operational efficiency. Integrated into a range of Dahua cameras (including TiOC series) and compatible NVRs, AcuPick delivers a seamless and intelligent search experience.

Highlights of AcuPick:
AI-Driven Precision:
AcuPick leverages intelligent algorithms to differentiate between human and vehicle activity, refining search results to what truly matters.
Smart Filtering:
Search footage using key attributes like clothing colour or vehicle type—no need to know the exact time an incident occurred.
Instant Video Recall:
With just a few clicks, users can zero in on critical moments, improving response times and streamlining investigations.
False Alarm Reduction:
By filtering out irrelevant motion, AcuPick helps reduce nuisance alerts, leading to more reliable monitoring.
Flexible Deployment:
Whether through Dahua's smart cameras or NVR integration, AcuPick fits into a wide range of security setups.
Practical Applications:
-
Retail & Offices: Track customer flow or monitor for unauthorized access.
-
Car Parks & Garages: Instantly retrieve footage of accidents or suspicious activity.
-
Public Spaces: Quickly find persons of interest using visual identifiers.
-
Residential Estates: Enhance safety by identifying vehicle movements or visitors.
AcuPick transforms surveillance from reactive monitoring to proactive intelligence, saving time while elevating security across the board.
Q&A
Can this camera record in colour at night?
Yes, the smart dual-light technology switches to white light when a person or vehicle is detected, capturing full-colour video.
Is the microphone built in or external?
It has a built-in microphone for audio recording.
Does it support audio recording laws compliance?
Yes, audio can be disabled if not legally permitted in your region.
What storage options are available?
Supports up to 512GB MicroSD, FTP/SFTP, and NAS recording.
Can it work with third-party NVRs?
Yes, the camera supports ONVIF profiles S, G, T, and M for wide compatibility.
Will the lights always stay on at night?
No, the camera uses IR light until motion is detected, then activates the white light briefly to minimize light pollution.
What’s the benefit of using a Dahua AI NVR with this?
You unlock AcuPick, which allows rapid video searching by target type (person or vehicle) using deep learning.
How weatherproof is the unit?
It’s IP67-rated, fully dustproof, and can be submerged in 1 meter of water for up to 30 minutes.
