Extra Info
AI-Powered Perimeter Protection
Using deep learning, this camera distinguishes people and vehicles from irrelevant motion like leaves or animals. Set rules for line-crossing, loitering, or parking to trigger alerts only when real intrusions happen.
Face Detection and Counting Analytics
Capture and log human faces for record-keeping or access validation. The camera also counts foot traffic, measuring how many enter, exit, or dwell in an area—useful for retail, events, or occupancy limits.
Active Deterrence Technology
When suspicious motion is detected, the camera emits a loud siren and turns on a white LED to scare off intruders. Both the light and siren can be customized and scheduled as needed.
Smart H.265+ Saves Bandwidth
With Dahua’s intelligent compression, video file sizes are reduced significantly without sacrificing visual detail, perfect for 24/7 HD recording on limited storage.
Built for Outdoor Demands
Built in a tough metal housing, this camera can endure temperatures from -40°C to +60°C and is sealed against rain and dust. It's ideal for all weather conditions and exposed installations.
