Extra Info
Smart ANPR with Deep Learning
This camera goes beyond basic license plate recognition. Powered by advanced deep learning algorithms, it can identify a vehicle's type (e.g., sedan, SUV, truck, bus), brand (recognizing 147 different logos), and even color (distinguishing between 12 common colors). This multi-dimensional data sensing is incredibly valuable for detailed traffic analysis, advanced search capabilities in forensic investigations, and more precise access control, allowing systems to respond differently based on specific vehicle attributes. For instance, a system could grant access to a specific truck type while logging all other vehicle types.
Active Deterrence with Customizable Audio
The DHI-ITC413-PW4D Series features robust active deterrence capabilities. When triggered by events like intrusion or loitering (which can be set for up to four distinct areas), the camera activates red and blue indicator lights and broadcasts audio alarms. A significant advantage is the ability to import and edit custom audio files. This allows users to create specific warning messages, greetings, or instructions tailored to their environment, making the deterrence more effective and personalized than generic sirens. Imagine a customized voice message warning trespassers that "This area is under surveillance and recording is in progress."
High-Level Protection for Harsh Environments
Designed for resilience, this camera boasts an IP67 rating, signifying complete protection against dust ingress and the ability to withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. Coupled with an IK10 vandal-proof rating, it can withstand impacts equivalent to a 5 kg object dropped from 40 cm, making it highly resistant to tampering and physical damage. This robust construction, combined with its integrated illuminator and junction box, ensures reliable performance and longevity in challenging outdoor conditions, from heavy rain to potential vandalism.
Seamless Integration and Standalone Operation
The camera is equipped with various ports—signal, data, communication, and RS-485—allowing for flexible integration with a wide range of external devices such as entry/exit barriers, LED displays, and alarm systems. This enables automated processes like barrier control based on license plate recognition. Furthermore, the camera's ability to perform functions and store extensive allowlists/blocklists (110,000 entries each) without constant connection to other devices makes it highly effective for standalone applications, significantly enhancing security for locations like factories or compounds where a full-fledged NVR system might be overkill or impractical.
Motorized Vari-focal Lens with Smart Illumination
The motorized vari-focal lens (available in 2.7mm–12mm and 8mm–32mm options) provides exceptional flexibility in adjusting the field of view remotely. This means installers can fine-tune the zoom and focus after mounting, optimizing the camera's view for specific traffic lanes or entry points without physical intervention. Additionally, models with Dual Illuminators (IR and warm light) feature Smart Illumination. This intelligent function automatically adjusts the light intensity based on environmental brightness, ensuring clear images of moving targets while preventing overexposure. Devices with warm light can even adjust intensity based on time of day, optimizing visibility and power consumption.
Q&A
1. Can this camera recognize vehicles in complete darkness?
Yes, models ending in "IZ1" and "IZ3" feature an IR illuminator (850 nm) for night vision. Models ending in "Z1" and "Z3" offer Dual Illuminators (730 nm IR/warm light) which can provide better detail and potentially color images in low light. The camera automatically adjusts illumination for optimal visibility.
2. How loud is the built-in speaker, and can I control its volume?
The camera has a built-in 2W speaker. While the exact decibel level isn't specified, a 2W speaker is typically loud enough for effective voice announcements and alarms in outdoor environments. The documentation implies control over custom audio playback, suggesting volume control is integrated within the management software.
3. Can the red and blue deterrent lights be disabled or set to a schedule?
The documentation states the camera supports sound and light alarms. While it doesn't explicitly detail scheduling for the lights, it's common for professional security cameras to allow for configuration of alarm triggers, which typically includes options to enable/disable or schedule the active deterrence features.
4. Is this camera compatible with NVRs from other brands?
The camera supports ONVIF (Profile S/Profile G/Profile T), which is a global standard for IP-based security products. This significantly increases its compatibility with Network Video Recorders (NVRs) from other manufacturers that also adhere to the ONVIF standard. However, advanced AI features might work best with Dahua's DSS Pro, DSS Express, or Smart PSS management software.
5. How much recording time can I expect from the microSD card?
The camera supports TF (microSD) cards up to 256 GB. The actual recording time will vary significantly based on factors like video resolution, compression (H.264H, H.265), frame rate, and the amount of motion in the scene. For example, continuous recording at 4MP with high motion will fill the card much faster than event-only recording at a lower resolution.
6. What's the main difference between the DHI-ITC413-PW4D-Z1 and the DHI-ITC413-PW4D-IZ1 models?
The primary difference lies in the illuminator type and maximum detection speed. The "-Z1" model features Dual Illuminators (730 nm IR/warm light) and has a max detection speed of 80 km/h. The "-IZ1" model uses an IR illuminator (850 nm) and also has a max detection speed of 80 km/h. Similarly, the "-Z3" and "-IZ3" models differ in illuminator type and have higher detection speeds (120 km/h) and longer focal lengths.
7. Will the siren or custom audio activate automatically for detected vehicles?
Yes, the camera can be configured to automatically trigger sound and light alarms for IVS events such as intrusion and loitering detection. This means if an unauthorized vehicle or person enters a defined area, the camera can automatically play a custom audio message and flash its lights, acting as an immediate deterrent.

Summary Recommendation
-
Choose the Newer Model (DHI-ITC413-PW4D Series) if:
- You require enhanced WDR performance (140 dB) for challenging lighting conditions, providing clearer images in scenes with both very bright and very dark areas.
- Active deterrence features like the red/blue indicator light and more explicitly supported custom audio broadcasts are crucial for your security strategy.
- You need the most up-to-date and potentially more refined deep learning algorithms for vehicle recognition, although the core AI capabilities are strong in both.
-
The Older Model (DHI-ITC412-PW4D Series) might still be suitable if:
- Your budget is a primary concern, and you can find the older model at a significantly lower price point.
- Your application does not require the absolute latest in WDR performance or advanced active deterrence features.
- The core ANPR, resolution, illumination distances, and general environmental robustness (IP67/IK10) meet your project's requirements, as these remain largely consistent between the two series.
