Extra Info
Full-Color Technology – See in Color, Even at Night
Unlike traditional IR-based night vision cameras that switch to black and white, this model features advanced low-light sensors paired with integrated warm-light LEDs to deliver vivid, true-color footage 24/7. This significantly enhances visual details like clothing color, vehicle paint, or facial features, which are crucial for accurate identification and evidence gathering.
AI-Powered Detection – Intelligence That Filters the Noise
Powered by built-in artificial intelligence, the camera can reliably distinguish between humans, vehicles, and environmental motion. This dramatically reduces false alarms caused by pets, falling leaves, moving shadows, or weather changes—making it ideal for sensitive perimeter monitoring and smart alerts.
Siren & Flashing Lights – Active Deterrence Built In
Security is no longer just about observation. This camera features a customizable voice siren and red/blue strobe lights that can be triggered when an AI event is detected—such as a person or vehicle entering a restricted zone. It acts as a proactive deterrent, warning off potential intruders before they escalate.
Smart Codec – Efficient, High-Quality Video
With support for Smart H.265+/H.264+, the camera dynamically adjusts bitrate based on scene complexity and motion. This allows for significant savings on storage and network bandwidth without compromising on video clarity—ideal for 24/7 recording environments.
Flexible Configuration – Tailored Surveillance Settings
Engineered for flexibility, the camera supports:
-
Triple stream output for simultaneous live view, local recording, and remote monitoring
-
Privacy/motion masking for protecting sensitive areas
-
Image rotation (90°, 180°, 270°) to accommodate varied mounting positions
-
Audio event detection and custom region exposure to fine-tune performance in complex lighting and noise environments
Robust Build – Outdoor Ready, All Year Round
Housed in a metal-plastic composite body, the unit is designed for durability in demanding settings. With an IP67 rating, it’s fully dust-tight and waterproof, and it operates reliably across extreme temperatures from –40°C to +60°C. Whether it’s blazing sun, heavy rain, or freezing snow, this camera is built for continuous outdoor surveillance.
More About AcuPick – Precision Video Search Powered by AI
Dahua’s AcuPick feature revolutionizes how you locate events in video surveillance footage. Instead of manually watching hours of clips, AcuPick intelligently filters and finds relevant footage based on AI-classified human or vehicle presence.
Highlights of AcuPick:
-
AI-Driven Precision – Differentiates between humans and vehicles for relevant search results.
-
Smart Filtering – Search using characteristics like clothing color or vehicle type—no need to know the exact time of an incident.
-
Instant Video Recall – Jump straight to key events with a few clicks.
-
False Alarm Reduction – Minimizes alerts triggered by non-critical motion.
-
Flexible Deployment – Works with Dahua’s smart cameras or AI-compatible NVRs.
Practical Applications:
-
Retail & Offices – Trace customer movement or detect unauthorized access.
-
Car Parks & Driveways – Locate vehicle activity instantly.
-
Public Spaces – Search for individuals using visual traits.
-
Gated Residences – Review vehicle arrivals or visitor interactions quickly.
AcuPick transforms passive surveillance into active, intelligent security management—saving valuable time and enhancing operational effectiveness.
While the DH-IPC-HDBW5541R-ASE does not feature built-in AcuPick, it supports AcuPick search functions when connected to an AI-capable Dahua NVR. The camera sends AI metadata (e.g., face detection, people counting, perimeter classifications) that the NVR uses for smart filtering and playback search.
Benefits via AI NVR Integration:
- Search by human or vehicle presence
- Filter playback using traits like mask, gender, or clothing
- Skip irrelevant footage and jump to key events instantly
- Use AI-driven logs and smart snapshots from camera metadata
