Extra Info
What is TIOC?
TiOC stands for Three-in-One Camera, combining Full-Colour Video, Active Deterrence, and AI Detection into one powerful security solution.
With TiOC cameras, you get:
-
Full-Colour Footage 24/7 – even at night, thanks to Smart Dual Illuminators.
-
Smart AI Detection – accurately identifies humans and vehicles, filtering out false
alarms caused by animals, trees, or shadows.
-
Active Deterrence – red and blue warning lights plus a loud siren to stop intruders in their tracks.
These features work together to give you fast, accurate alerts and clear footage any time of day.
How Does It Work?
1. Full-Colour Night Vision with Smart Dual Illuminators
TiOC cameras automatically switch between infrared and LED lighting. When no threat is detected, they use discreet IR. When a person or vehicle enters the scene, the LED lights activate to record in full colour—helping you capture every detail clearly.
2. AI-Powered Detection
Using SMD 4.0 (Smart Motion Detection) and Perimeter Protection, the camera can tell the difference between a person, vehicle, animal, or object. This means:
- You get alerts only when it matters.
- False alarms are reduced to less than 1%.
3. Active Deterrence
When a genuine threat is detected, the camera activates built-in red and blue strobe lights along with a loud audible siren to immediately deter intruders. This proactive response helps prevent incidents before they occur. Users can schedule deterrence features to operate during specific hours—such as overnight—or customise them to suit their needs. For added convenience, a one-touch disarm function allows quick cancellation of the siren when necessary.
Smart Dual Illumination
This camera uses both infrared and warm white light to provide smart lighting control at night. IR is used by default to remain discreet, but when motion is detected in defined areas, the warm light activates to capture colour video. Once the subject leaves, the camera switches back to IR — a system that balances visibility, power consumption, and environmental impact.
SMD 4.0 (Smart Motion Detection)
SMD 4.0 goes far beyond traditional motion detection. It applies deep learning algorithms to distinguish between real threats like people or cars, and harmless motion like pets or falling leaves. When paired with a compatible Dahua AI NVR, you can use Quick Pick to rapidly search for motion events by human or vehicle criteria.
AcuPick
AcuPick leverages advanced back-end processing to help you locate individuals or vehicles across large timelines. It minimizes playback time and narrows down recordings to the most relevant events, especially useful for investigations or verifying past incidents.
AI Scene Self-Adaption (SSA)
The SSA feature analyzes environmental lighting and automatically fine-tunes brightness, contrast, and colour balance to ensure consistent image quality. It’s especially useful in outdoor or mixed-light environments where conditions shift throughout the day.
Active Deterrence
The camera includes flashing red and blue warning lights, a built-in speaker, and pre-recorded (or custom) voice alerts to actively deter potential intruders. This not only captures attention but can prevent incidents from escalating — particularly effective in retail, construction, or unmonitored home entry points.
One-Tap Arming/Disarming
With the Dahua mobile app, users can instantly enable or disable event responses like lights, audio alarms, and recording rules. This flexibility is useful in situations where alerts aren’t needed — such as when family members are at home — but can be reactivated with a single tap when leaving the premises.
Cybersecurity Protections
Dahua builds in strong cybersecurity protections including encrypted video streams, secure firmware updates, and access controls. This guards against data breaches or unauthorized remote access — a key consideration for business and home networks alike.

Q&A
We know security systems can seem complicated, so here are some common questions to help you understand this powerful kit better:
Q: What exactly does this security kit include?
This kit comes with 8 high-quality Dahua cameras (2 with special "TiOC 3.0" features and 6 with "Smart Dual Light"), and a central recording device called an NVR (Network Video Recorder). By default, you get an 8-channel NVR, which means it can handle up to 8 cameras. You also get an option to add a hard drive for storing your recordings. Basically, it's everything you need to set up a comprehensive surveillance system.
Q: What's the difference between the 8-channel and 16-channel NVR options? Which one should I choose?
The "channel" simply refers to how many cameras the NVR can connect to.
- The **8-channel NVR (default)** is perfect for most homes and small businesses. It lets you connect up to 8 cameras, which this kit already includes.
- The **16-channel NVR (optional upgrade)** is for if you think you might want to add more cameras in the future, up to a total of 16. It's a good choice if you have a larger property or anticipate expanding your surveillance coverage down the line. If you're unsure, the 8-channel is a great starting point, and you can always consult with us if you think you'll need more cameras later.
Q: Do these cameras record in color at night?
Yes! The cameras in this kit are special. They use "Smart Dual Illumination" to give you full-color video even in low light or at night. They start with a discreet infrared light, but if they detect a person or vehicle, they can switch on a warm white light to capture everything in clear, vibrant color. Once the activity stops, they switch back to infrared.
Q: How do the cameras "deter" intruders?
The special "TiOC 3.0" cameras have built-in red and blue flashing lights, plus a loud siren. If they detect an intruder (and they're smart enough to tell the difference between a person and a pet!), these features can activate automatically to scare them away before they cause trouble. You can even set them to play custom messages!
Q: Will I get a lot of false alarms from pets or trees moving?
No! These cameras use "SMD 4.0" (Smart Motion Detection) and other AI features. This means they are very good at telling the difference between actual people or vehicles and things like rain, animals, or leaves. You'll only get alerts when it truly matters.
Q: Can I hear what's happening and talk back through the cameras?
Yes, all cameras in this kit have built-in microphones to record sound. The "TiOC 3.0" cameras also have a built-in speaker, allowing for "two-way audio." This means you can speak through the camera using your mobile app, which is great for greeting visitors or deterring unwanted guests.
Q: How do I view the camera footage? Can I see it on my phone?
Absolutely! You can connect the NVR to a monitor to view footage directly at your location. More importantly, you can use the Dahua mobile app on your smartphone or tablet to view live video, play back recordings, and manage your system from anywhere with an internet connection. It's designed to be super easy to use.
Q: What happens if the NVR's hard drive gets full?
The NVR is designed to continuously record. Once the hard drive is full, it will automatically start recording over the oldest footage. This ensures you always have the most recent recordings available. The size of your hard drive will determine how many days or weeks of footage you can store before it starts overwriting.
Q: Is this system difficult to install?
While professional installation is always an option, these systems are designed to be user-friendly for DIYers, especially with Power over Ethernet (PoE) which means one cable powers the camera and sends video. We recommend checking the provided manuals or seeking professional help if you're unsure about wiring or network setup.
Q: Do I need internet for this system to work?
The cameras and NVR will record footage locally even without an internet connection. However, an internet connection is needed if you want to view your cameras remotely on your phone or computer, receive smart alerts, or use some of the advanced AI features that communicate with Dahua's cloud services.
Q: What if I forget my NVR password?
For security reasons, resetting an NVR password usually requires a specific process, often involving connecting a computer to the same local network as the NVR and generating a unique reset code based on the device's serial number and date. This helps prevent unauthorized access. If you ever forget it, contact us, and we can guide you through the process.
