Install Tips
- Select lens size based on desired DORI distance and field of view.
- Mount 2.5–3.5m above ground for optimal detection and IR spread.
- Use with Dahua AI NVRs for full smart search and Quick Pick support.
- Best for areas that need consistent angle rather than zooming flexibility.
-
Check illumination zones at night to avoid overexposure from nearby reflective surfaces.

Extra Info
Fixed-Focal Lens Options
This camera is available in three fixed-focal lengths — 2.8mm, 3.6mm, and 6mm — allowing you to choose the ideal field of view for your installation. The 2.8mm lens offers a wide-angle view, perfect for monitoring broad areas like building lobbies or parking lots. The 3.6mm lens provides a balanced, medium-range perspective, while the 6mm lens is ideal for capturing long-distance, narrow scenes such as hallways, gates, or driveways.
Powerful IR Night Vision
Equipped with high-intensity infrared LEDs, the camera delivers clear, detailed footage in complete darkness — with visibility extending up to 50 meters. This ensures reliable 24/7 surveillance, maintaining performance even in low-light or zero-light environments, such as unlit alleys, warehouses, or outdoor perimeters at night.
AI-Powered Perimeter Protection
Integrated perimeter protection features include intelligent tripwire and intrusion detection, enhanced by AI-based object classification. The system can differentiate between vehicles, humans, and irrelevant motion such as animals or wind-blown objects. This minimizes false alarms and ensures timely alerts for real security threats, making it ideal for safeguarding restricted zones, property lines, or building entrances.
Smart Compression Technology
To reduce bandwidth and storage usage without compromising image quality, the camera supports Smart H.265+ and H.264+ compression. These advanced codecs analyze scenes to compress less active areas more aggressively, helping extend recording time and reduce storage costs — ideal for large-scale deployments or systems with limited storage capacity.
Advanced Cybersecurity Protections
Built with robust security architecture, the camera includes features like encrypted data transmission, trusted firmware execution, and secure user authentication. These measures help protect the device and its video streams from tampering, hacking attempts, or unauthorized access, ensuring the system remains secure in both enterprise and standalone environments.
Q&A
Q: Is this camera good for long-range applications?
A: With a 6mm lens, yes—it can identify a person up to ~12m and detect up to 124m.
Q: Does it support audio recording?
A: Yes, the camera includes a built-in microphone.
Q: Can I adjust the viewing angle remotely?
A: No, this model uses a fixed-focal lens. Angle must be set manually during installation.
Q: Is it suitable for all weather conditions?
A: Yes, it's IP67-rated for dust and water resistance.
Q: What is the advantage of SMD 4.0?
A: It filters out non-human/non-vehicle motion to reduce false alerts.
Q: What lens should I choose?
A: 2.8mm for wide views, 3.6mm for balanced coverage, and 6mm for tighter, long-range focus.
