Extra Info
WizMind AI for Real-Time Intelligence – Smarter Detection, Faster Response
The Dahua HDBW5442R-ASE is powered by WizMind, Dahua’s premium AI platform designed for mission-critical security applications. It enables real-time face detection and matting, allowing the system to extract clean facial images with enhanced metadata like age, gender, and expressions. Features like snapshot prioritization ensure the best face frame is stored or sent to a connected NVR. Additionally, its people crowd density detection lets operators monitor gathering intensity—making it ideal for transport terminals, event venues, and storefronts where proactive crowd control is essential.
Starlight Night Clarity + 140 dB WDR – Clear in Any Light
Using Starlight imaging technology, this camera captures detailed, color-rich video even in extremely low-light conditions—often eliminating the need to switch to black-and-white IR prematurely. The 140 dB Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) ensures balanced exposure in scenes with challenging lighting—such as people entering through glass doors or vehicles under bright headlights—preserving details in both shadows and highlights.
Built for Critical Environments – Vandal-Resistant and Weatherproof
Engineered for tough conditions, the HDBW5442R-ASE features an IK10-rated dome enclosure, protecting it against tampering or impact—ideal for public-facing areas like schools, banks, or transit hubs. Its IP67 rating guarantees full protection against dust, rain, and extreme temperatures, allowing for reliable outdoor use year-round. For added installation flexibility, Dahua offers optional accessories including rain shields, pole mounts, and wall brackets, making this model a strong choice for demanding commercial or municipal deployments.
While the DH-IPC-HDBW5442R-ASE does not process AcuPick directly, pairing it with a compatible Dahua AI NVR unlocks intelligent search functionality. AcuPick uses AI-classified human and vehicle metadata to help you locate key footage instantly—no need to review hours of video manually.
Benefits with AI NVR Integration:
- Search by human or vehicle presence in seconds
- Filter playback using traits like mask, gender, or clothing color
- Skip irrelevant footage and jump directly to key events
- Use smart snapshots and logs based on camera AI metadata
- Ideal for public areas, gated entries, storefronts, and driveways
