Dahua Starlight Network Panoramic Camera

Product Profile

Launched by Dahua Technology, WizSense is a series of AI products and solutions that adopt independent AI chip and deep learning algorithm. It focuses on human and vehicle with high accuracy, enabling users to fast act on defined targets. Based on Dahua's advanced technologies, WizSense provides intelligent, simple and
inclusive products and solutions.

Series Overview
Designed with more lens than the conventional PTZ camera, the X-Spans series camera captures an expansive view, producing wide, vivid images. It has the combined power of the panoramic and detail camera in its structure and is highly cost-effective, greatly reducing the installation cost of security systems. It also leverages its two cameras to perform smart tracking, and has an independent mode that allows you to separately use each camera. 

Functions

Starlight Technology
For challenging low-light conditions, Dahua's Starlight Ultra-low Light Technology offers the best in light sensitivity, capturing colour in vivid detail, even in lighting as low as 0.005 lux. The camera uses a set of optical features to balance light throughout the scene, producing clear images in dark environments.

Smart H.265+ & Smart H.264+
With advanced scene-adaptive rate control algorithm, Dahua smart encoding technology realizes the higher encoding efficiency than H.265 and H.264, provides high-quality video, and reduces the cost of storage and transmission.

Perimeter Protection
Automatically filters out false alarms caused by animals, rustling leaves, bright lights, and more, and uses secondary recognition during target detection to improve alarm accuracy.

Protection (IP66, TVS 6000 V)
IP66, TVS 6000 V lightning proof, surge protection, and voltage transient protection.

Smart Dual Light
Dahua Smart Dual Light technology adopts smart algorithm to detect targets. Usually, the IR illuminator is on at night; when the target appears in the monitoring area, the white light is on, and the camera records the full-colour video and information of key events. That is, the camera links snapshot and video with full-colour image. When the target is out of the monitoring area, the white light is off and the IR illuminator is on, which reduces light pollution efficiently.

Smart Tracking
Automatically tracks moving targets, keeping them on the monitoring screen. With its flexible design, human, motor vehicle and non-motor vehicle targets can be set to be tracked. These parameters can also be combined. Targets are immediately tracked when detection rules (such as tripwire and intrusion) are triggered.

Siren and Light Active Deterrence
Dahua siren and light active deterrence network camera supports the white light alarm and voice alarm when perimeter event occurs, to realize the deterrence and effective intervention. The camera is built in one voice, and supports customized voice importing.
