System Overview
The Dahua 5 MP Pro Series cameras offer high-resolution video and cutting-edge technology in a compact and accessible package. The cameras feature Smart H.265+ video compression, reducing bandwidth and storage requirements without sacrificing video quality. The camera's elegant blend of aesthetics combined with a range of easy mounting solutions provides an excellent choice for a variety of small to mid-size applications at an affordable price.
Functions
Starlight Technology
For challenging low-light applications, Dahua's Starlight Ultra-low Light Technology offers best-in-class light sensitivity, capturing color details in low light down to 0.009 lux. The camera uses a set of optical features to balance light throughout the scene, resulting in clear images in dark environments.
Smart H.265+
Smart H.265+ is the optimized implementation of the H.265 codec that uses a scene-adaptive encoding strategy, dynamic GOP, dynamic ROI, flexible multi-frame reference structure and intelligent noise reduction to deliver high-quality video without straining the network. Smart H.265+ technology reduces bit rate and storage requirements by up to 70% when compared to standard H.265 video compression.
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR)
The camera achieves vivid images, even in the most intense contrast lighting conditions, using industry-leading wide dynamic range (WDR) technology. For applications with both bright and low lighting conditions that change quickly, True WDR (120 dB) optimizes both the bright and dark areas of a scene at the same time to provide usable video.
Intelligent Video System
IVS is a built-in video analytic algorithm that delivers intelligent functions to monitor a scene for Tripwire violations, motion detection and intrusion detection. A camera with IVS quickly and accurately responds to monitoring events in a specific area and offers tamper detection by recognizing a dramatic scene change and generating a warning message to inspect the camera.
Smart IR Technology
With IR illumination, detailed images can be captured in low light or total darkness. The camera's Smart IR technology adjusts the intensity of the camera's infrared LEDs to compensate for the distance of an object. Smart IR technology prevents IR LEDs from whitening out images as they come closer to the camera. The camera's integrated infrared illumination provides high-performance in extreme low-light environments up to 30 m (98 ft).
Interoperability
The camera conforms to the ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) specifications, ensuring interoperability between network video products regardless of manufacturer.
Environmental
Dahua cameras operate in extreme temperature environments, rated for use in temperatures from -30° C to +60° C (-22° F to +140° F) with 95% humidity. The camera allows for ±10% input voltage tolerance, suitable for the most unstable conditions for outdoor applications. Its 2KV lightning rating provides effective protection for both the camera and its structure against lightning. Subjected to rigorous dust and water immersion tests and certified to the IP67 Ingress Protection rating makes it suitable for demanding outdoor applications.
