Extra Info
Smart Motion Detection (SMD 4.0)
SMD 4.0 utilizes advanced AI algorithms to recognize only people and vehicles, effectively filtering out false alarms caused by pets, foliage, rain, or shifting light. When used with a Dahua AI NVR, it unlocks Quick Pick—a smart search tool that lets users instantly retrieve relevant footage involving humans or vehicles, eliminating the need to sift through hours of video.
AI Scene Self-Adaption (AI SSA)
With intelligent environment recognition, AI SSA automatically adjusts exposure, contrast, and other video settings in real time. Whether it's dealing with fog, glare from direct sunlight, heavy rain, or shadowy scenes, this feature ensures optimal clarity and visibility without user intervention.
AI-Enhanced Perimeter Protection
Perimeter Protection strengthens your site’s defense by using AI to identify real threats. It supports tripwire and intrusion zone detection, distinguishing between humans, vehicles, and irrelevant motion—minimizing false alerts and increasing the reliability of boundary monitoring in areas like driveways, parking lots, or restricted access points.
Smart Compression (H.265+ / H.264+)
The camera employs Smart H.265+ and H.264+ compression to maintain excellent video quality while significantly reducing bandwidth and storage requirements. This allows for longer recording times and efficient data usage—ideal for high-resolution surveillance systems running 24/7.
