Specifications

Dahua Explosion-protected Network Camera

The Dahua Explosion-protected Camera series features a powerful optical zoom lens and a rugged design that meets the ATEX and the IECEx standards. This camera series uses a 1/2.8-in. STARVIS™ CMOS imager with a 30x optical zoom lens, and provides an all-in-one solution for capturing long-distance video surveillance in critical environments. The camera uses the H.265 video compression standard to improve encoding efficiency while preserving high-quality video. The explosion-protected stainless steel camera is designed to prevent ignition of surrounding  gasses or combustible dust, and is the ideal surveillance solution for use in the oil production, pipeline, refinery, chemical, and grain storage industries.

Starlight Technology

For challenging low-light applications, Dahua’s Starlight Ultra-low Light Technology offers best-in-class light sensitivity, capturing 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.

True 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. 

Intelligent Video System (IVS)

IVS is a built-in video analytic algorithm that delivers intelligent functions to monitor a scene for Tripwire violations, intrusion detection, and abandoned or missing objects. A camera with IVS quickly and accurately responds to monitoring events in a specific area. In addition to scene analytics, the camera detects and captures a snapshot of human face in a defined area within a scene, and offers tamper detection by recognizing a dramatic scene change and generating a warning message to inspect the camera.

Environmental

With a built-in heater and a temperature range of –40 °C to +60 °C (–40 °F to +140 °F), the camera is designed for extreme temperature environments. Subjected and certified to rigorous dust and water immersion tests, the IP68 rating makes it suitable for demanding outdoor applications.

Protection

The camera allows for ±25% 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. 

Interoperability 

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