Extra Info
Starlight & Smart Dual Light Technology
Equipped with advanced low-light imaging, this camera combines Starlight sensors and smart dual lighting to deliver sharp, full-color video even in near-dark environments. The system automatically switches between infrared (IR) and white light based on scene conditions and motion detection—ensuring discreet surveillance by default, with vivid color footage when needed for identification.
Perimeter Protection with Metadata Tagging
This camera enhances perimeter defense using AI-powered detection that filters out false triggers like leaves, small animals, or shadows. It also supports metadata tagging, which logs attributes such as human presence, vehicle type, face detection, and mask-wearing status. These tags enable faster, more efficient footage review and better situational awareness—ideal for both live monitoring and forensic evidence retrieval.
PFA Autofocus Technology
Dahua’s Predictive Focus Algorithm (PFA) ensures the camera stays sharply focused while zooming or tracking moving targets. By analyzing the scene in real-time, it adjusts focus quickly and accurately—eliminating delays and ensuring critical details remain clear during dynamic situations like perimeter breaches or vehicle tracking.
Active Deterrence with Custom Voice Alerts
The camera features built-in red and blue warning lights and a speaker that activate when AI events—such as intrusion or line-crossing—are triggered. Users can upload their own voice messages or warning sounds through the app, creating custom deterrent responses suited to specific environments like warehouses, retail storefronts, or restricted access areas.
Q&A
Q1: Can it record in full color at night?
Yes—Smart Dual Light enables full-color recording up to 50 m; beyond that, IR ensures continuing visibility.
Q2: How loud is the siren?
Speaker volume is adjustable via app, strong enough for open outdoor areas; refer to manual for exact SPL.
Q3: Will it work with non‑Dahua NVRs?
Yes—supports ONVIF and common protocols, making it compatible across various brands.
Q4: How many presets/tours can I set?
Up to 300 presets and 8 tours per schedule, ideal for covering multiple zones.
Q5: Does face detection work at night?
Yes—combined with Smart Dual Light, it captures color facial snapshots in low light conditions.
Q6: What happens during a power failure?
Camera supports PoE+ backup and resets to last state post-power recovery, though external UPS is still recommended.
Q7: Can I adjust tracking sensitivity?
Yes—parameters for PTZ tracking, motion detection, and line crossing are all fully configurable.
Q8: How resistant is it to lightning and surges?
Rated at TVS 6000 V and surge protection built-in—suitable for areas prone to electrical storms.
