Extra Info
Smart Dual Illumination
This camera uses an intelligent dual-light system that defaults to infrared (IR) for discreet surveillance. When motion is detected, it automatically switches to a warm white light, enabling full-color video capture of potential intruders. Once the event ends, the camera reverts to IR mode to prevent light pollution—perfect for areas where both visibility and discretion are priorities.
SMD 3.0 & AI-Powered Perimeter Protection
With Smart Motion Detection 3.0, the camera uses AI-based classification to accurately detect human and vehicle movement, while ignoring irrelevant motion from animals, leaves, or shadows. The integrated tripwire and intrusion rules only trigger alerts when actual security threats are detected, ensuring more reliable perimeter defense.
One-Tap Disarm Functionality
A built-in physical disarm button or mobile app toggle allows users to quickly disable alarm functions during routine events—such as maintenance, scheduled deliveries, or daily openings. This avoids unnecessary alerts while maintaining overall system readiness.
Active Deterrence with Custom Alerts
The camera includes a built-in siren, strobe lights (red/blue), and speaker, which activate in response to security events. You can also upload custom voice warnings via the app to suit your environment—ideal for driveways, loading docks, or restricted zones where real-time deterrence is crucial.
Smart Encoding with H.264+/H.265+
Equipped with Dahua’s Smart H.264+ and H.265+ codecs, the system reduces bandwidth and storage consumption by up to 70%, while maintaining full image quality. This makes it especially effective for continuous high-resolution recording in demanding security environments.
Q&A
Q1: Can it show color at night?
Yes—warm light activates on detection, capturing full-color video up to 30 m.
Q2: Can I stay silent if I don't want siren?
Yes—disable the siren via settings, leaving only light alerts if desired.
Q3: Will small animals trigger recording?
Unlikely—SMD 3.0 filters out small pets and irrelevant motion.
Q4: Is two-way talk secure?
Yes—built-in speaker and dual microphones support full duplex audio through compatible NVRs or apps.
Q5: Does the camera store local footage?
Yes—supports microSD cards up to 256 GB alongside NAS or FTP backup options.
Q6: How weatherproof is it?
Rated IP67 and wide-voltage tolerant (±30%), suitable for outdoor climates.
Q7: Can I disable active deterrence at night?
Yes—the one-tap disarm feature allows disabling siren/lights temporarily via app.
Q8: Does it work with other NVRs?
Yes—ONVIF Profile S/T support ensures compatibility with most mainstream NVR brands.
