Extra Info
Full-Color Imaging
Unlike IR-based night vision, this camera uses a high-performance sensor and F1.0 large-aperture lens to provide vibrant, true-to-life color video even in near-total darkness. No more grainy black-and-white footage — get visual evidence that works day or night.
Red/Blue Light Deterrence with Custom Sirens
When motion is detected (based on AI), the built-in red and blue LEDs flash to grab attention. The camera also plays an audio warning — users can choose from pre-loaded sounds or upload their own. This feature is especially effective at stopping intruders in real-time.
Smart Motion Detection Plus (SMD+)
With deep learning, SMD+ distinguishes human and vehicle motion from other objects like animals or tree branches, reducing nuisance alerts and increasing reliability.
Scene Self-Adaptive Imaging (SSA)
The camera auto-adjusts to changes in lighting or scene composition for clearer video, particularly useful in areas with shifting sun or vehicle headlights.
Built-In Microphone & Speaker
Supports two-way talk or audio deterrence. You can listen in via the app or trigger a voice message manually or on detection.
High-Efficiency Encoding
Smart H.265+ allows you to store more footage with less hard drive space — ideal for continuous recording setups without sacrificing clarity.
While the DH-IPC-HFW3549T1-AS-PV does not have built-in AcuPick, it is compatible with Dahua NVRs that support AcuPick AI search. When connected to an AI-enabled NVR, this camera’s SMD Plus metadata (human/vehicle classifications) can be used to enable smart video search and instant playback filtering.
What You Get with AcuPick (via NVR):
- AI-filtered playback by human/vehicle presence
- Search video using visual traits (e.g., clothing color, vehicle type)
- Save time by skipping irrelevant footage
- Trigger playback instantly from detected events
