Extra Info
Motorised Vari-Focal Lens
Equipped with a 2.7–13.5mm motorised lens, this camera lets you zoom in or out remotely—no ladder or manual refocusing needed. You can easily switch between a wide 99° viewing angle for open areas like parking lots or a narrower 26° field of view for entrances or gates. The adjustable zoom makes it ideal for dynamic environments where security needs may shift over time.
Smart Detection with Audio/Alarm Ports
This model is designed for both surveillance and active response. It includes built-in audio in/out ports and alarm I/O terminals. You can connect it to external devices like microphones, speakers, sirens, and alarm systems. When an event is detected—such as someone crossing a tripwire or entering a restricted area—the camera can automatically trigger lights or alarms, issue voice warnings, or log the event for review.
AI with SMD+ & Perimeter Protection
Utilizing Dahua's advanced AI engine, SMD+ technology filters out non-threats such as tree branches, small animals, or weather-related movement. It accurately classifies motion caused by humans or vehicles, ensuring that only meaningful security events trigger alerts. Perimeter protection features such as tripwire and intrusion zones add an extra layer of defense, enabling real-time monitoring of boundaries or sensitive zones with minimal false alarms.
Rugged Protection for Demanding Conditions
The dome housing is IK10-rated, providing resistance to vandalism and accidental impact—perfect for schools, transport hubs, warehouses, or public spaces. With IP67 weatherproofing, the camera performs reliably in heavy rain, dust storms, and extreme temperatures. It also tolerates power fluctuations of ±30%, which is especially useful in outdoor installations or areas with unstable voltage.
Flexible Deployment and Integration
Compatible with Dahua’s SmartPSS, DMSS app, and AI NVRs, this camera offers seamless integration into new or existing systems. Features like Quick Pick allow for fast video searches based on detected human or vehicle movement, while Smart H.265+ compression ensures efficient storage and transmission. It also supports PoE for simplified cabling and cleaner installation.
Q&A
