Extra Info
Smart Dual Illuminators
This system switches between IR and warm LEDs based on AI detection. Default IR keeps night scenes neutral and subtle. When a human or vehicle enters view, warm light turns on to record in colour, reducing noise pollution.
SMD 3.0 Detection
SMD 3.0 uses deep learning to filter out animals, foliage, and glare, focusing only on people and vehicles. This reduces false alerts and focuses your attention where it matters.
Integrated Deterrence
Upon detection, the camera flashes red and blue lights and plays recorded or custom voice messages via speaker—designed to startle and deter before escalation.
Robust I/O & Cybersecurity
Supports one alarm and audio input/output, enabling integration with perimeter sensors or public address systems. Network security is ensured through encrypted firmware, HTTPS, X.509 certificates, and stricter access controls.
Night-time Colour Efficiency
Colour recording toggles only on detection, preserving energy and IR lifespan while ensuring valuable nighttime event footage.
System Compatibility
Works seamlessly with Dahua’s DMSS app and SmartPSS desktop software, and supports ONVIF for third-party NVR compatibility.
While the DH-IPC-HDBW5541R-ASE does not feature built-in AcuPick, it supports AcuPick search functions when connected to an AI-capable Dahua NVR. The camera sends AI metadata (e.g., face detection, people counting, perimeter classifications) that the NVR uses for smart filtering and playback search.
Benefits via AI NVR Integration:
- Search by human or vehicle presence
- Filter playback using traits like mask, gender, or clothing
- Skip irrelevant footage and jump to key events instantly
- Use AI-driven logs and smart snapshots from camera metadata
Q&A
Can this record in colour at night?
Yes. When motion is detected, warm LED activates for full-colour video footage.
How loud is the siren?
The built-in speaker delivers loud, clear voice or siren alerts intended to catch attention and deter intruders.
Can I disable lights or siren?
Yes. Use the One-Tap Disarm feature via app, alarm input, or NVR controls to deactivate active deterrence when needed.
Is it compatible with non-Dahua NVRs?
Yes. ONVIF support ensures basic functionality with third-party systems, but full AI features work best with Dahua NVRs.
How long does footage last on 256GB SD?
With H.265 compression, expect multiple days of high-res footage. Duration varies with motion activity and bitrate settings.
What makes this different from PRO version?
The PRO adds motorized lens, larger sensor, and stronger audio. This standard S3 model offers fixed-lens simplicity and cost efficiency.
Does it continue recording during internet issues?
Yes. Thanks to microSD support and local storage, it records independently of network status.
Can I upload my own voice for alerts?
Absolutely — custom audio files can be uploaded via DMSS or NVR to personalize deterrence messages.
