Description

Six megapixels from a wide angle

The 3288 × 1850 resolution has a 16:9 aspect ratio and adds up to about six million pixels. The extra pixels pay off when you need to zoom into a recording to make out a face, clothing or a vehicle. The 2.8 mm lens is a wide-angle one: a whole room, lobby, corner of a car park or a front entrance together with its steps fits into the frame.

Two kinds of light for the night picture

The camera has both infrared and warm light. In the dark it normally uses IR and records in black and white, while the warm light makes colour footage possible at night when needed, showing for example the colour of clothing or a car. The manufacturer does not give the illumination range for this 6 MP model, so keep the watched area at a sensible distance from the camera.

WizSense tells people and vehicles apart

The camera belongs to Dahua's WizSense AI series, which focuses on detecting people and vehicles. Intrusion and tripwire detection can tell a person from a vehicle, so wind, shadows and branches trigger far fewer pointless alarms. The camera also reports attempts to cover or redirect it, scene changes, network disconnection and memory card errors.

Recording that does not choke the network

H.265 compression shrinks the video stream, so more footage fits on a disk or memory card and the network is not overloaded. A microSD slot means the camera can record even without a separate recorder. Cloud management lets you configure the camera and check the picture while away from the site. There is no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth: the link runs over reliable wired Ethernet.

Ready for a northern winter

The camera is powered over PoE, with one network cable carrying both video and power. Without a PoE switch, a 12 V DC adapter will do. It operates from −40 to 60 °C at up to 95 % relative humidity, so frost and damp autumns are no problem. The white housing measures 122 × 122 × 105.5 mm and weighs 530 g.

Who this IP camera is for

Private houses, offices, cafés and warehouses where one camera has to cover a wide area with more detail than lower-resolution models give. The white housing suits light-coloured facades and ceilings. The wide-angle lens is meant for rooms, entrances and yards rather than distant gates or reading number plates. The microphone adds sound to recordings, which helps make sense of events later.

Questions & answers

Does the camera run on PoE?

Yes, it supports PoE power. Without a PoE switch, a 12 V DC adapter can be used instead.

Can the camera be installed outdoors?

Yes, the manufacturer lists it for indoor and outdoor use, with an operating range of −40 to 60 °C and up to 95 % humidity.

Can the camera record without a recorder?

Yes, it has a microSD slot. The manufacturer does not specify the largest supported card size for this model.

Can the camera tell a person from a vehicle?

Yes, intrusion and tripwire detection classify targets as people or vehicles, which cuts down on false alarms.
