Extra Info
Face Detection & Attributes – Intelligent Identity Analysis
Using advanced deep-learning technology, this camera not only detects and tracks human faces but also captures facial snapshots enriched with detailed metadata. It analyzes attributes such as gender, age range, mask usage, presence of glasses, facial hair (beards), and eight distinct facial expressions (e.g., happy, sad, angry). These capabilities make the camera highly effective for enhanced security, access control, and business analytics in areas like airports, retail stores, and educational institutions.
Perimeter Protection – AI-Driven Intrusion Detection
The camera supports a suite of perimeter protection features including tripwire, intrusion, loitering, and parking detection. Enhanced by AI-based human and vehicle classification, it intelligently filters out irrelevant motion events like rustling leaves, small animals, or moving shadows. This ensures that only meaningful security threats generate alerts — ideal for protecting boundaries, entry zones, and sensitive outdoor areas.
People Counting & Queue Management – Smarter Space Utilization
This feature tracks how many people enter, exit, or dwell in a monitored area, enabling facilities to manage occupancy limits, crowd density, and flow efficiency. The system can generate daily and monthly reports, and trigger real-time alerts when predefined capacity thresholds are exceeded. Additionally, its queue management function monitors how long individuals remain in a specific spot, such as service counters or waiting lines, helping businesses reduce wait times and optimize staff deployment.
Smart Codec & Streaming – Efficient and Flexible Video Delivery
Equipped with Smart H.265+ compression, the camera adapts video encoding to scene motion and complexity, reducing file sizes and conserving bandwidth while maintaining high-quality video. With triple streaming support, it enables simultaneous high-resolution NVR recording, mobile remote viewing, and local storage—making it suitable for hybrid monitoring setups.
Durability & Build Quality – Built for Demanding Environments
Housed in a rugged metal dome casing, the camera is certified IP67 for water and dust resistance, and IK10 for impact protection. This durable construction makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations, including high-traffic areas and locations vulnerable to tampering or harsh weather.
Flexible Power Options – Adaptable Installation
The camera supports multiple power inputs including 12VDC, 24VAC, and Power over Ethernet (PoE). This flexibility allows for a wide range of installation environments and makes integration easier across various infrastructure types, whether retrofitting older systems or setting up new deployments.
Although this camera does not include built-in AcuPick, it works seamlessly with Dahua NVRs that support AcuPick AI search. When connected to an AI-capable NVR (like NVR5216-4KS2 or NVR4108-I), the camera’s AI metadata—including face and perimeter events—can be indexed for smarter video retrieval.
With AcuPick via NVR, you can:
- Filter playback by human or vehicle presence
- Search by visual traits like clothing color or vehicle type
- Instantly jump to key moments
- Avoid watching irrelevant footage manually
Q&A
Q: Can this camera record in color at night?
A: No. It uses IR LEDs to record in black-and-white in low-light or no-light conditions.
Q: Is the zoom lens adjustable after installation?
A: Yes. It’s motorized, so you can adjust zoom and focus remotely via web, NVR, or app.
Q: Will this work with third-party NVRs?
A: Yes. The camera supports ONVIF (Profiles S/G/T) and can integrate with most NVRs.
Q: Does it support two-way audio?
A: Yes. It includes audio input and output for communication when paired with supported NVRs or software.
Q: Does this model include deterrence features like lights or sirens?
A: No. This model focuses on analytics and rugged design. For deterrence, consider a TiOC model.
Q: How much footage will a 256GB card store?
A: It depends on your bitrate and settings, but expect roughly 1–2 weeks of continuous video.
Q: Can it operate in extreme temperatures?
A: Yes. It’s rated for -30°C to 60°C and built to perform in harsh weather or indoor conditions.
Q: Does it need a junction box or mount?
A: Optional mounts and boxes (PFB210W, PFA138, etc.) make for cleaner installs depending on surface type.
