What is TIOC?
TiOC stands for Three-in-One Camera, combining Full-Colour Video, Active Deterrence, and AI Detection into one powerful security solution.
With TiOC cameras, you get:
-
Full-Colour Footage 24/7 – even at night, thanks to Smart Dual Illuminators.
-
Smart AI Detection – accurately identifies humans and vehicles, filtering out false
alarms caused by animals, trees, or shadows.
-
Active Deterrence – red and blue warning lights plus a loud siren to stop intruders in their tracks.
These features work together to give you fast, accurate alerts and clear footage any time of day.
How Does It Work?
1. Full-Colour Night Vision with Smart Dual Illuminators
TiOC cameras automatically switch between infrared and LED lighting. When no threat is detected, they use discreet IR. When a person or vehicle enters the scene, the LED lights activate to record in full colour—helping you capture every detail clearly.



2. AI-Powered Detection
Using SMD 4.0 (Smart Motion Detection) and Perimeter Protection, the camera can tell the difference between a person, vehicle, animal, or object. This means:
- You get alerts only when it matters.
- False alarms are reduced to less than 1%.

3. Active Deterrence
When a genuine threat is detected, the camera activates built-in red and blue strobe lights along with a loud audible siren to immediately deter intruders. This proactive response helps prevent incidents before they occur. Users can schedule deterrence features to operate during specific hours—such as overnight—or customise them to suit their needs. For added convenience, a one-touch disarm function allows quick cancellation of the siren when necessary.

Extra Info
Smart Dual Illumination
This camera uses both infrared and warm white light to provide smart lighting control at night. IR is used by default to remain discreet, but when motion is detected in defined areas, the warm light activates to capture colour video. Once the subject leaves, the camera switches back to IR — a system that balances visibility, power consumption, and environmental impact.
SMD 4.0 (Smart Motion Detection)
SMD 4.0 goes far beyond traditional motion detection. It applies deep learning algorithms to distinguish between real threats like people or cars, and harmless motion like pets or falling leaves. When paired with a compatible Dahua AI NVR, you can use Quick Pick to rapidly search for motion events by human or vehicle criteria.
AcuPick
AcuPick leverages advanced back-end processing to help you locate individuals or vehicles across large timelines. It minimizes playback time and narrows down recordings to the most relevant events, especially useful for investigations or verifying past incidents.
AI Scene Self-Adaption (SSA)
The SSA feature analyzes environmental lighting and automatically fine-tunes brightness, contrast, and colour balance to ensure consistent image quality. It’s especially useful in outdoor or mixed-light environments where conditions shift throughout the day.
Active Deterrence
The camera includes flashing red and blue warning lights, a built-in speaker, and pre-recorded (or custom) voice alerts to actively deter potential intruders. This not only captures attention but can prevent incidents from escalating — particularly effective in retail, construction, or unmonitored home entry points.
One-Tap Arming/Disarming
With the Dahua mobile app, users can instantly enable or disable event responses like lights, audio alarms, and recording rules. This flexibility is useful in situations where alerts aren’t needed — such as when family members are at home — but can be reactivated with a single tap when leaving the premises.
Cybersecurity Protections
Dahua builds in strong cybersecurity protections including encrypted video streams, secure firmware updates, and access controls. This guards against data breaches or unauthorized remote access — a key consideration for business and home networks alike.
More About AcuPick - Smart Video Seach with Precision AI
Dahua’s AcuPick technology revolutionises video surveillance by using advanced AI to pinpoint people or vehicles across recorded footage with remarkable speed and accuracy.
