Install Tips
- Ideal installation height: 8–12 ft for general use; higher for vehicle surveillance.
- Use Smart PSS or DSS to enable heatmap and intelligent alert features.
- For panoramic clarity, adjust individual sensors’ brightness/contrast in setup.
- Ensure PoE+ (802.3at) or 24 V AC power source is used due to higher power draw.
- Included PFA111 mount adapter makes installation easier—pair with accessories for pole or ceiling mounting.
- Recommended for large, open areas with wide coverage needs—one unit replaces multiple standard cameras.

Extra Info
180° Seamless Panoramic View – Complete Coverage with One Camera
This advanced panoramic camera integrates four synchronized 2MP image sensors to produce a single, seamless 180-degree field of view. Unlike stitched multi-camera systems that show obvious seams, this solution delivers fluid, gap-free panoramic video, capturing expansive scenes such as parking lots, building façades, public plazas, or hallways—all without blind spots. It significantly reduces installation costs and infrastructure by replacing multiple single-lens cameras.
Dahua Starlight Technology – Low-Light Color Performance
Thanks to Dahua’s Starlight technology, this camera maintains vibrant full-color video in lighting conditions as low as 0.005 Lux. It’s ideal for locations with minimal ambient lighting, such as parks, warehouses, schools, or campus pathways. Unlike conventional cameras that shift to black-and-white early, this sensor extends color monitoring deeper into the night, enhancing object recognition and situational awareness.
Smart IVS Analytics – Real-Time AI-Based Detection
Packed with Intelligent Video System (IVS) features, this camera supports tripwire and intrusion detection, as well as abandoned or missing object alerts—powered by deep-learning AI for higher reliability. It also includes tamper detection and heatmap analytics, helping operators detect suspicious activity, monitor crowd flow, or track unusual events. Ideal for public areas, retail, and transit facilities.
Smart IR Night Monitoring – Adaptive Illumination Up to 30m
Equipped with six high-efficiency IR LEDs, this camera dynamically adjusts brightness based on object proximity—eliminating overexposure for nearby subjects while ensuring clear imaging up to 30 meters away. Combined with the panoramic view, it delivers balanced illumination across wide areas, ensuring security even in total darkness.
High Protection Standards – Rugged for Harsh Installations
Built to handle challenging environments, this unit is IP67-rated for dust and water protection and IK10-certified for impact resistance. Whether mounted indoors or outdoors, it withstands heavy rain, extreme temperatures, tampering attempts, and dusty construction zones—making it ideal for industrial sites, transport stations, and large public venues.
While the DH-IPC-PDBW8802-A180 does not include built-in AcuPick, it fully supports AcuPick search functions when paired with an AI-capable Dahua NVR. The camera transmits intelligent metadata—such as perimeter intrusion, object removal, and tripwire events—that the NVR leverages for fast, AI-powered video filtering and event search.
Benefits via AI NVR Integration:
- Search footage based on human or vehicle presence
- Filter playback using visual traits like clothing color or object type
- Instantly jump to relevant scenes without scrubbing through hours of footage
- Access smart snapshots and searchable event logs from embedded metadata
Q&A
Does this replace multiple cameras?
Yes. Its 180° panoramic view covers wide areas, reducing the need for 3–4 single-lens cameras.
Can this camera deliver color at night?
Yes. Thanks to Starlight tech, it captures usable color video in very low light.
How is the image at night?
Excellent. Smart IR ensures objects aren’t overexposed and maintains detail up to 30 m in darkness.
Does it work with standard NVRs?
Yes. It supports ONVIF (Profile S & G), making it compatible with most NVR brands.
Is a mount included?
Yes, it includes the PFA111 mount adapter. Other mounts (pole, wall, ceiling) are sold separately.
Can I use this indoors too?
Yes, but its rugged build and wide view are especially valuable for large outdoor spaces.
Does it support edge storage?
Yes. You can insert a MicroSD card up to 128 GB or connect to NAS/FTP.
How is power supplied?
Use PoE+ (802.3at) or 24V AC—standard PoE will not provide enough power.
