Extra Info
Smart IR Technology – Up to 50 Meters
Equipped with advanced Smart IR, the camera dynamically adjusts the intensity of its infrared LEDs to prevent overexposure of objects that come close to the lens during night vision mode. This intelligent control ensures consistently clear and balanced images in low-light or complete darkness, with an effective IR range of up to 50 meters — ideal for monitoring large open areas like parking lots, building perimeters, or warehouses at night.
ePoE Transmission – Extended Reach
Dahua’s enhanced Power over Ethernet (ePoE) technology supports long-distance data and power transmission of up to 800 meters over Cat5 or coaxial cables. This innovation eliminates the need for multiple network switches, extenders, or additional power sources, streamlining installation and significantly reducing infrastructure costs — perfect for large-scale installations or remote camera deployments.
Face Detection & Intelligent Video System (IVS)
When paired with compatible Dahua NVRs, the camera offers face detection capabilities that can identify and capture human faces in real-time. Additionally, built-in IVS features like tripwire and intrusion detection enable the system to automatically trigger alerts based on movement across virtual boundaries or within pre-defined zones. These intelligent features enhance perimeter security, automate monitoring, and improve response time to potential threats.
Smart H.265+ Encoding
Designed for efficiency, Smart H.265+ dynamically adjusts compression based on motion and scene complexity. This next-generation encoding technology significantly reduces bandwidth consumption and storage requirements — by up to 70% compared to standard H.264 — without compromising video clarity. It’s especially advantageous for continuous surveillance in environments with limited network capacity or storage space.
Rugged, Weatherproof & Vandal-Resistant Build
Built to perform in demanding conditions, the camera features a robust metal housing with IP67 weatherproof and IK10 vandal-resistant ratings. It is fully protected against rain, dust, and physical impact, making it ideal for high-risk or outdoor environments such as schools, public facilities, and industrial sites.
Flexible Motorized Lens – Remote Zoom Control
Featuring a motorized varifocal lens, the camera allows users to remotely adjust zoom and focus from a network video recorder (NVR) interface or mobile application. This provides added convenience during installation and ensures the field of view can be optimized without the need for physical adjustments — saving time, effort, and installation costs.
AcuPick Integration (With Dahua AI NVR)
This camera supports AcuPick smart search when used with a Dahua AI NVR. While the camera itself doesn’t process AcuPick, connecting it to a compatible recorder unlocks precision footage filtering based on people or vehicles.
AcuPick Benefits (NVR-powered):
- Instantly locate relevant footage without scrubbing timelines
- Search by vehicle type, clothing color, or presence
- Great for reviewing security incidents or verifying vehicle activity
- Saves time for both monitoring teams and investigators
Q&A
Can this record in color at night?
It has a starlight sensor for better low-light performance, but it switches to black & white with IR at night.
How loud is the speaker?
The camera has audio in/out interfaces but no built-in speaker. Volume depends on the connected audio device.
Can the lights be disabled?
There are no visible deterrence lights on this model.
Does it work with NVRs from other brands?
Yes, it supports ONVIF, making it compatible with many third-party systems.
How long does SD card recording last?
Depends on settings, but H.265+ compression can extend recording time significantly on a 128GB card.
What makes this different from a TiOC camera?
This model does not have active deterrence features like red/blue lights or siren. It focuses on image clarity and smart detection.
Will the camera still work in heavy rain?
Yes, with IP67 waterproof rating, it functions reliably in harsh outdoor weather.
Can I zoom in after installation?
Yes, the motorized lens allows remote zoom adjustments without needing to climb up again.
