Extra Info
AI Analytics – Smarter, Focused Detection
This camera features built-in AI-powered video analytics, including tripwire, intrusion detection, and face detection. These tools allow you to set custom virtual lines or zones, ensuring alerts are only triggered when humans or vehicles cross into restricted areas. It significantly reduces false alarms and ensures your security team is only alerted to real threats—perfect for entrances, gates, or private zones that require precision monitoring.
Smart IR – Clear Night Vision Without Glare
Traditional infrared night vision can cause close-up subjects to appear washed out. Dahua’s Smart IR technology solves this by automatically adjusting the IR LED intensity based on how close the subject is to the lens. This ensures even exposure and clear details—even at night or in complete darkness—making it ideal for tight spaces or entry points where subjects may move near the camera.
Smart H.265+ Compression – Save Space, Keep Clarity
With Smart H.265+ video encoding, the camera intelligently compresses footage based on motion and scene complexity. This results in up to 70% savings in bandwidth and storage compared to traditional H.264, without compromising image quality. It’s especially valuable in multi-camera setups, long retention periods, or when using limited-storage NVRs or SD cards.
ePoE Support – Flexible, Long-Distance Installations
This model supports Enhanced Power over Ethernet (ePoE), which allows both power and data to travel up to 800 meters over standard coax or Cat5 cables at 10 Mbps. That means you can install cameras far from network switches or power sources—ideal for large estates, parking lots, warehouses, or perimeter fences where traditional cabling would be a challenge.
Rugged Design – Built to Withstand the Elements
With its IP67 rating, the camera is fully protected against dust and heavy rain, while its IK10 vandal-resistance ensures the housing can survive impacts or tampering. Designed for outdoor and high-risk environments, this camera will continue performing in harsh weather, industrial areas, or public locations prone to interference.
Q&A
Can it record in color at night?
No—it uses IR illumination, so footage is black-and-white at night.
How loud is the built-in mic?
It captures general ambient audio for monitoring and review, but it’s not designed for two-way talk.
Can I disable the IR lights?
Yes—through the Dahua web interface or SmartPSS software, you can schedule or disable IR.
Does it work with other NVR brands?
Yes—compatible via ONVIF, but full AI feature integration is best with Dahua NVRs.
How much footage does a 128 GB SD card hold?
Roughly 5–7 days at 6 MP resolution with H.265+ compression, depending on scene activity.
What’s the difference between this and the PRO version?
The PRO model typically includes active deterrence (colored lights and siren) and upgraded audio; this model does not.
Will alerts trigger automatically?
Yes—alerts for AI detections are generated based on your configured zones and sent instantly.
Can I add custom voice alerts?
No—while it supports audio alarms, it doesn’t allow uploading custom voice files like the active deterrence models.
