System Overview

Featuring powerful optical zoom, this camera provides an all-in-one solution for capturing long distance video surveillance for outdoor applications. Together with infrared illumination and Starlight technology, the camera is the perfect solution for dark, lowlight applications. The series combines a day/night mechanical IR cut filter for the highest image quality in variable lighting conditions during the day, and True WDR for applications with direct sunlight or glare.

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 0.005 lux. The camera uses a set of optical features to balance light throughout the scene, resulting in clear images in dark environments.

Wide Dynamic Range

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.

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.

PFA Technology

PFA technology has innovatively introduced new methods of judgment to ensure the accuracy and predictability of the direction of subject distance adjustment. The result is a set of advanced focusing algorithms. PFA ensures clarity of the image throughout the process of zooming and shortens focus time. The realization of PFA technology substantially improves user experience and increases product value.

Environmental

Dahua cameras operate in extreme temperature environments, rated for use in temperatures from -40 °C to +60 °C (-40 °F to +140°F) with 95% humidity. Subjected to rigorous dust and water immersion tests and certified to the IP68 Ingress Protection rating makes it suitable for demanding outdoor applications.
