Extra Info
Smart Dual Illumination
Not supported on this model. Instead, the camera uses high-power IR LEDs to illuminate scenes up to 50 meters away in black-and-white mode for discreet night monitoring.
SMD 4.0
This feature enhances motion detection by using AI to ignore irrelevant movement like leaves or small animals. It focuses alerts on humans and vehicles only, improving response times and alert accuracy.
AI SSA (Scene Self-Adaption)
Automatically fine-tunes brightness, contrast, and clarity based on environmental conditions like low light, glare, fog, or backlighting—resulting in consistently usable footage no matter the setting.
Perimeter Protection
Built-in IVS rules (like tripwire and intrusion) are enhanced by deep learning. The system can tell the difference between a human and a car, so you're not flooded with unnecessary alerts.
Cybersecurity
Includes advanced protections like HTTPS encryption, trusted boot, firmware integrity checks, and user access logs to guard against hacking attempts or data leaks.
