Extra Info
SMD Plus
This camera uses Dahua’s Smart Motion Detection (SMD Plus) to analyze movement and ignore non-threats like pets, rain, or shadows. It focuses only on humans or vehicles, so you don’t get bombarded with false alerts.
Perimeter Protection
Using advanced deep learning, it can detect if someone crosses a virtual line (tripwire) or enters a zone (intrusion). It works especially well for fenced-off areas, yards, or driveways.
Starlight Technology
Even when there’s barely any light, this camera can capture clear and color-rich video using its starlight-enhanced sensor. No need for external lighting.
Smart Codec (H.265+)
This advanced compression keeps videos looking sharp while reducing the space needed to store them. That means more days of footage saved to your SD card or NVR.
Built-in Audio
The internal microphone records background sounds, which can help clarify what’s happening in footage.
Cyber Security Features
Includes video encryption, secure access, and support for trusted firmware upgrades to protect from hacks.
