Dahua Technology CCTV Housings  (1)

Throughout the years, Dahua Technology, a foremost video-centric smart IoT solution and service provider, has been a frontrunner in the HD-over-Coax development in terms of resolution, intelligence and usability. To further meet diverse customer demands, Dahua has launched the latest upgrade of its High-Definition Composite Video Interface (HDCVI) series –the HDCVI 6.0 PLUS. As part of Dahua’s core products for 2021, the HDCVI 6.0 PLUS addresses existing monitoring challenges in the industry that will surely benefit both installers and end-users. Image quality With the popularity of 16:9 widescreen displays in the market nowadays, loss in image quality due to stretching of traditional 4:3 video output has become an emerging issue, especially in surveillance where image clarity and accurate identification of targets are paramount importance. With that said, the Dahua HDCVI 6.0 PLUS has just the right solution for this seemingly common problem. Its Real 5MP is a foremost technology in the HD-over-Coax market that offers a stunning 16:9 aspect ratio to better fit common HD displays. Compared to the previous version’s 5MP@20fps, the Real 5MP technology provides 5MP@25fps output and a large FOV. By presenting precise and vivid images, the Real 5MP technology provides enhanced visual experience and allows accurate recognition and identification of targets in the scene. Super Adapt technology Aside from image distortion, users are also often faced with complex lighting conditions that can adversely affect their monitoring efficiency. The traditional remedy for this issue is for installers to manually adjust the camera settings to ensure image performance, causing additional time and labor costs. This technology can enhance the brightness of dark areas in the monitored scene The Super Adapt technology of the Dahua HDCVI 6.0 PLUS makes this pain point a thing of the past. With its capability to recognise whether the monitored scene is indoor, outdoor, or under wide dynamic range, it can automatically adjust the camera settings (e.g., brightness, color, contrast and white balance) to match the actual scene, eliminating the need for manual configuration just to optimise image performance. It can adapt to complex lighting environments, making it ideal for various application scenarios such as doorways, corridors, halls and even windows. For indoor scenarios, this technology can significantly enhance the brightness of dark areas in the monitored scene, capturing clear and rich details. For outdoor scenarios, the Super Adapt technology can help avoid overexposure in environments with intense lighting conditions, which greatly optimises image quality. Additional features Moreover, the Dahua HDCVI 6.0 PLUS also boasts enhanced AI with its high-performance AI chip and advanced deep-learning algorithm, enabling accurate recognition of humans and vehicles in the monitored scene. One great example of a Dahua product that features enhanced AI is the Cooper-I Series. It is equipped with Smart Motion Detection (SMD) Plus that can accurately recognise people and vehicles, and can effectively filter out false alarms caused by irrelevant objects such as small animals, leaves, rain, light, etc. Together with Dahua HDCVI Three-in-One Camera (TiOC), SMD Plus offers an interlinked siren and spotlight that can be turned on and off simultaneously through its one-click arming/disarming function to effectively deter intruders. It can also perform AI search to locate targets by categories, saving a significant amount of bandwidth through AI coding and providing efficient target search without the need to review the massive amount of video footages. In addition, this series also allows the recording of customised alarm audio based on different scenarios that can be uploaded to the frontend cameras via the DMSS app. New possibilities The Cooper-I series is positioned as an entry-level product line that offers cost-effective and AI-enabled solutions Successfully released in 2021, the Cooper-I series is positioned as an entry-level product line that offers cost-effective and AI-enabled solutions suitable to a wide range of application scenarios, making AI inclusive and available for everyone.

As the saying goes, ‘There is always room for improvement.’ This year, Dahua Technology, a video-centric smart IoT solution and service provider, is once again utilising this ‘room’ by releasing the new upgrade of its intelligent server– the Dahua IVSS. The Dahua Intelligent Video Surveillance Server, or simply IVSS, is positioned as a multiple intelligent algorithm server. With its strong computing power and flexibility, it offers multiple algorithm integration as well as innovative, efficient, and accurate AI functions. Detection accuracy rate The Dahua IVSS is equipped with general AI functions that benefit users with optimised monitoring capabilities. Aside from its face recognition’s blocklist alarm, VIP recognition, and stranger alarm, this series now features high frequency alarm –a newly added function that can recognise the frequency of targets in the monitored scene. Dahua IVSS devices also support IVS based on the target type (human and vehicle), which filters out irrelevant targets such as leaves, animals, lights, etc. With its upgraded algorithm, it provides a higher detection accuracy rate and supports new functions such as loitering detection, parking detection, and crowd gathering estimation. What’s more, the video metadata function of this equipment supports a number of attributes for the human face, human body, motor vehicle, and non-motor vehicle. Traditional intelligent algorithms The Dahua IVSS can also extract metadata from normal video recordings stored in XVR or NVR devices Besides its typical metadata search function, the Dahua IVSS can also extract metadata from normal video recordings stored in XVR or NVR devices, and subsequently, run AI search to quickly locate targets. Moreover, this upgraded series now offers video metadata Linkage that can trigger the alarm when the target’s metadata does not meet the preset conditions/rules. For example, if wearing a face mask is set, as a rule, the alarm will be triggered when someone who is not wearing a face mask has been detected. Based on the metadata, the Dahua IVSS can also perform backend ANPR, which is a significant upgrade from the frontend ANPR usually done by cameras. In addition to basic AI, industrial AI functions are also featured in Dahua IVSS devices. It includes smart video compression that provides higher computing accuracy and can distinguish specific targets in the scene compared to traditional intelligent algorithms. Detecting parking spaces With a compression ratio of 78%-99%, this AI function significantly reduces bandwidth by up to 99% and relatively lessens upgrading costs. This series can also detect helmet wearing in a site through its helmet detection function, boasting an accuracy rate of over 95%. Its outdoor parking space detection function provides over 94% accuracy rate in detecting available parking spaces in an outdoor scenario. Other industrial AI functions include fire detection, smoking detection, uniform detection, garbage overflow detection, and animal detection. Aside from Dahua’s own algorithm, it can also run third-party algorithm through the Dahua Open Platform (DHOP), solving more pain points of customers. Scalable computing capability The strong and scalable computing capability of the upgraded Dahua IVSS can utilise up to 16 AI chips Moreover, the strong and scalable computing capability of the upgraded Dahua IVSS can utilise up to 16 AI chips. For storage and data security, this series allows access to up to 256 channels, provides up to 768Mbps storage bandwidth, and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, and 10. Its decoding capacity is up to 24ch@1080P. It offers max. 36 splits in one window, allows up to 4 HDMI output per device with different sources and supports mouse roaming between different scenes. Furthermore, the Dahua IVSS allows seamless AI upgrading of old systems, and is compliant with ONVIF/RTSP, making it compatible with third-party cameras. By providing AI computing to VMS through SDK, it also supports integration with third-party VMS. Innovating intelligent products The biggest room in the world is indeed the room for improvement.
