Extra Info
Starlight Technology – See More in the Dark
This camera features Dahua’s advanced Starlight technology, offering exceptional low-light performance down to 0.03 Lux. Unlike standard cameras that quickly switch to black-and-white IR mode, this model maintains full-color video longer into the night, preserving crucial details like clothing color, vehicles, and faces. It's ideal for dimly lit areas such as alleys, entrances, parking spaces, or warehouses, where clarity in darkness is vital for identification and security.
Smart H.265+ Compression – Save Bandwidth and Storage
Using scene-adaptive encoding, Smart H.265+ compresses video footage efficiently by focusing only on motion and areas of interest. It reduces bandwidth and storage needs by up to 70%, allowing you to record longer without increasing storage capacity. This is especially useful when using SD cards, cloud backup, or NVRs with limited space, while still maintaining crisp, detailed video.
ePoE Compatibility – Simplified Long-Distance Installations
This camera supports extended Power over Ethernet (ePoE), transmitting video and power up to 800 meters at 10Mbps or 300 meters at 100Mbps over standard Cat5/Cat6 or coaxial cables. It’s perfect for large-scale deployments, such as parking lots, perimeter fences, or remote gatehouses, where running multiple power lines or switches isn’t practical.
WDR (120dB) – Balanced Exposure in Every Frame
The camera’s Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) capability balances light and dark areas in the same scene. Whether it's sunlight streaming through windows or shadowed doorways, WDR ensures that faces and objects are clearly visible, avoiding overexposed highlights or dark, unreadable zones. This is essential for entryways, lobbies, or storefronts with shifting lighting conditions.
Face Detection & IVS – Smarter Surveillance with Less Effort
Built-in face detection allows the camera to capture and tag clear facial snapshots, helping with identification and intelligent searches during playback. Meanwhile, IVS (Intelligent Video System) features such as tripwire and intrusion detection enable automated event tracking and alerting. You can define custom rules to trigger alarms or recordings, streamlining security responses and reducing the need for constant manual monitoring.
