Extra Info
Compact PTZ Functionality with Pro-Level Control
Despite its small form factor, this camera delivers true Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) capability with support for 300 presets, 8 patrol tours, and power-off memory. It automatically resumes monitoring paths after reboot or inactivity, making it ideal for entryways, corridors, and parking areas.
AI-Driven Smart Detection
Powered by Dahua WizSense AI, the camera accurately detects humans and vehicles, filtering out false alarms from rain, animals, or lighting changes. IVS rules such as tripwire and intrusion detection ensure fast and reliable alerts.
Efficient Smart H.265+ Compression
Using Smart H.265+, the camera dynamically optimizes bitrate based on scene activity and Region of Interest (ROI), saving up to 70% storage and bandwidth without sacrificing image quality.
Durability for All Weather Conditions
With IP66 weatherproofing, IK08 impact resistance, and surge protection, the camera operates reliably in temperatures from -30°C to +60°C, making it suitable for demanding indoor and outdoor deployments.
