Installer Tips
-
Optimal Mounting Height: For best human/vehicle detection, install the camera between 2.5 to 4 meters (8 to 13 feet) high, angled slightly downwards.
-
PoE for Simplicity: Utilize Power over Ethernet (PoE) for a single cable solution for both power and data, simplifying installation and reducing wiring complexity.
-
Lens Choice for Coverage: Choose the 2.8mm lens for wider areas like driveways or open yards, and the 3.6mm lens for more focused monitoring of narrow pathways or specific entry points.
-
Pair with AI NVR: For advanced features like AcuPick (quick target search) and consolidated event management, pair this camera with a compatible Dahua AI NVR.
-
Avoid Obstructions: Ensure the camera's field of view is free from moving obstructions like tree branches or dense foliage to prevent unnecessary motion triggers.
-
SD Card Reliability: For continuous recording or as a backup, use a high-endurance microSD card specifically designed for security cameras.

Extra Info
WizSense Technology
The camera belongs to Dahua’s WizSense series, powered by AI chips and deep learning algorithms. It focuses on human and vehicle detection with high accuracy, reducing false alarms and enabling faster response to events.
AI SSA (Scene Self-Adaptation)
Automatically adjusts image parameters based on environmental conditions such as rain, fog, backlight, or flicker. This ensures clear and optimized images in all lighting scenarios.
SMD 4.0 (Smart Motion Detection)
Filters out irrelevant objects like animals or leaves, focusing only on human and vehicle targets. When paired with an AI NVR, Quick Pick technology allows efficient searching of event footage to quickly locate key targets.
Perimeter Protection
Supports advanced intrusion detection features like tripwire, loitering, and gathering detection. It can accurately distinguish between humans and vehicles, reducing false alerts in restricted areas.
Smart Dual Light
Combines IR and warm LED illumination. The camera normally uses IR for discreet night monitoring, and automatically switches to warm light when a person or vehicle is detected, capturing full-color images for better identification.
Starlight Technology
Delivers high-quality, low-noise images even in very low-light environments. With 0.007 lux sensitivity and 120 dB WDR, it provides sharp details in challenging lighting conditions.
Smart Encoding
With Smart H.265+/H.264+ and AI coding, the camera achieves higher compression efficiency, saving bandwidth and storage while maintaining video quality.
Cyber Security
Equipped with strong protection features such as encrypted transmission, security authentication, and trusted boot. These safeguard the device against external cyber threats.
Rugged Design
Built with an IP67-rated metal housing, ensuring dust- and water-resistance. It can withstand outdoor environments, temperature extremes (–40 °C to +60 °C), and unstable voltages, ensuring long-term durability.
