Extra Info
Vari-Focal with Smart Control
This camera features a motorized vari-focal lens (typically 2.7–13.5mm), allowing you to zoom in and out remotely without needing to physically access the device. Perfect for high-mounted or hard-to-reach installations, this function gives installers and users the flexibility to fine-tune the field of view—from wide-angle for broad areas to narrow focus for detailed monitoring at gates or entrances. The integrated autofocus ensures clarity is maintained throughout the zoom range, making it ideal for locations where visual precision is essential, like warehouses, loading docks, or long corridors.
Starlight Imaging
Equipped with Dahua’s advanced Starlight technology, this camera delivers crisp, color-rich footage even in extremely low-light conditions—down to just 0.005 Lux. This eliminates the need for constant white light or IR in dim environments, preserving natural lighting conditions while still capturing identifying features like clothing color or vehicle license plates. It's especially beneficial during dusk, dawn, or in shaded outdoor zones where traditional cameras may fail to capture usable video.
Smart Perimeter Protection + SMD+
Go beyond simple motion alerts—this camera integrates Smart Motion Detection Plus (SMD+) and AI-based Perimeter Protection to identify and classify human and vehicle activity with precision. Whether someone crosses a virtual tripwire or enters a protected zone, the system filters out irrelevant movement like leaves or animal activity. This significantly reduces false alarms and ensures you’re only notified when real security events occur. It's particularly effective for perimeter fences, store backlots, or any sensitive boundary that needs accurate intrusion monitoring.
Built Tough for Outdoors
Engineered to endure the elements, this camera has an IP67-rated weatherproof enclosure, guarding against water, dust, and high winds. Whether it's exposed to heavy rain or swirling construction dust, it continues to operate reliably. Its wide temperature operating range (-30°C to +60°C) ensures continuous performance in both freezing winter conditions and extreme summer heat. Ideal for use in industrial yards, rural properties, transport hubs, or anywhere outdoor durability is non-negotiable.
Q&A
Q: Can I zoom in to check plates or faces?
A: Yes, this camera has a motorised 2.7–13.5mm lens, allowing remote zoom and focus—great for identifying details like vehicles or intruders.
Q: How is this different from Full-Color models?
A: This camera uses IR for black-and-white night vision and Starlight for low-light color. Full-Color models always show color, but need ambient light or warm LEDs.
Q: Will it work well in dark areas?
A: Absolutely. With Starlight + IR, you get great low-light color and black-and-white night clarity up to 40m.
Q: Is it suitable for outdoor use?
A: Yes, it's IP67 rated and built with a metal casing, perfect for exposed areas.
Q: Does it support audio?
A: Yes, it includes a built-in microphone for audio recording.
Q: Can I use it with a Dahua NVR?
A: Yes. It’s fully compatible with Dahua Smart NVRs and supports ONVIF, so it works with many third-party systems too.
