Extra Info
Smart Motion Detection (SMD 4.0)
SMD 4.0 takes motion detection a step further by using AI to recognize only humans and vehicles, significantly reducing false alarms caused by pets, shadows, wind-blown objects, or rain. When connected to a Dahua AI NVR, it unlocks the Quick Pick feature—allowing you to instantly locate relevant clips involving real security events without scrubbing through hours of video.
AI Scene Self-Adaption (AI SSA)
With intelligent scene analysis, AI SSA automatically optimizes the camera’s video output in challenging conditions like fog, backlight, or low light. It adjusts exposure, contrast, and other image parameters in real time—ensuring you always have clear footage regardless of weather or lighting conditions.
Fixed Lens Options
This camera offers multiple lens choices at the time of purchase, allowing you to tailor the field of view based on your surveillance needs:
-
2.8mm lens – Provides a wide-angle view ideal for open areas such as driveways, courtyards, or parking lots.
-
3.6mm lens – Best for medium-range views like sidewalks, entrances, or corridors.
-
6mm lens – Offers a narrower, long-distance view for focused coverage of gates, fences, or distant points.
Built-in Audio Support + Audio I/O
The integrated microphone captures ambient sound to provide audio context alongside video footage. For two-way communication or advanced alert systems, the camera also includes audio input and output ports, enabling connection to external speakers, microphones, or sirens—making it ideal for entry points, staff-only zones, or monitored access gates.
