System Overview

The 8MP Network Starlight PTZ camera uses a 1/1.8-in. CMOS imager with a 25x optical zoom lens, and provides an all in one solution for capturing long-distance video surveillance for outdoor applications. The camera uses the Smart H.265+ video compression standard to improve encoding efficiency while preserving high-quality video. The PTZ camera offers Analytics+ functions at the edge - performing complex perimeter protection with Smart Motion Detection to distinguish human and vehicle motion, significantly improving accuracy and reliability as compared to standard intelligent features.

Functions | Perimeter Protection

Dahua Analytics+ includes Tripwire and Intrusion functions that offer custom tripwires based on object type for automation in limited access areas. Perimeter Protection requires less pixels to detect an object to deliver improved accuracy and decreased false alarms due to lights, weather, trees, or animals.

Smart Motion Detection

Smart Motion Detection, a component of Dahua's Analytics+ technology, improves alarm accuracy and decreases the number of false alarms. The advanced SMD algorithm analyzes a scene for human or vehicle motion, while filtering out other motion due to trees, leaves, animals, weather, and triggers an alarm when detected. SMD also saves time when searching recorded video by filtering false alarms and allowing quick retrieval of an alarm due to a person or vehicle.

Enhanced Starlight Technology

For challenging low-light applications, Dahua's Starlight Ultra-low Light Technology offers light sensitivity that captures 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.

Predictive Focus Analysis (PFA) Technology

The camera uses innovative PFA Technology to improve zoom accuracy and to decrease focus time. A series of advanced algorithms more accurately judge the direction and the distance to a subject, improving picture clarity throughout the zooming process.

Interoperability

The camera conforms to the ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) and to the PSIA (Physical Security Interoperability Alliance) specifications, ensuring interoperability between network video products regardless of manufacturer.

ArcticPro

The Dahua ArcticPro Series of extreme-environment cameras combine temperature-tolerant components, a waterproof enclosure, and an integrated heater to ensure flawless operation in temperatures as low as -40° C (-40° F). For applications that demand high-resolution video with advanced features in extremely cold environments, the Dahua ArcticPro Series offers a camera to satisfy the most demanding requirements.
