Extra Info
SMD 4.0
Uses deep learning to reduce false alerts from pets, leaves, and shadows. Detects and filters motion based on human or vehicle shape.
AI SSA
Scene Self-Adaption analyzes conditions like rain or fog and dynamically adjusts settings to improve image quality in real-time.
Smart Codec
H.265+, Smart H.264+, and AI H.265 compression helps save storage while keeping video sharp.
Cybersecurity Features
Includes encryption, trusted boot, IP filtering, and secure access protocols to defend against hacking.
Motorized Zoom
Provides flexible viewing angles from 104° wide to 29° narrow, controllable remotely through app or NVR.
Wide Voltage Range
Accepts ±30% voltage tolerance, making it suitable for areas with power fluctuations or long cable runs.
Flexible Streaming
Supports 3 simultaneous streams for main view, sub view, and mobile access – ideal for multi-user monitoring.
ONVIF Support
