- Description
Product Overview
Delivering high-performance pan, tilt, and zoom capabilities in an exceptionally compact design, the Dahua SD1A404DB-GNY is a 4MP WizSense PTZ camera built for versatile indoor and outdoor security. Equipped with a 1/2.8" CMOS Starlight sensor and integrated IR illuminators reaching up to 20 meters, it captures crisp image details in low-light environments. Powered by WizSense AI, this camera features advanced perimeter protection, face detection, and Smart Motion Detection (SMD 3.0) to filter out non-target movements and reduce false alarms. An onboard microphone adds clear audio capture, while IP66 weatherproofing and IK08 impact resistance ensure long-term durability for demanding installations.
Key Features
- 4MP Starlight Sensor: Features a high-sensitivity 1/2.8" CMOS sensor for bright, detailed video in low-light conditions.
- 4x Optical Zoom: Motorized 2.8 mm–12 mm optical zoom lens allows flexible remote framing and detailed close-ups.
- IR Night Vision: Integrated infrared LEDs provide effective night coverage for distances up to 20 meters.
- Perimeter Protection: AI-powered tripwire and intrusion rules offer targeted monitoring over defined zones.
- SMD 3.0 AI Filtering: Smart Motion Detection 3.0 distinguishes humans and vehicles to reduce false alerts from foliage or light shifts.
- Built-in Microphone: Onboard audio recording captures clear ambient sound for added scene context.
- Vandal & Weather Proofing: Rated IP66 for outdoor weather resistance and IK08 for impact protection.
Key Capabilities
4MP Starlight Clarity
Captures high-definition 2560 × 1440 resolution video at 25/30fps, maintaining low-light color performance before triggering IR illumination.
4x Motorized Optical Zoom
Adjust focus and focal length remotely from 2.8mm to 12mm to quickly transition from wide area coverage to zoomed-in target detail.
Compact PTZ Pan & Tilt Control
Offers a 0° to 355° pan range and 0° to 90° tilt range for flexible repositioning, ideal for discrete ceilings and entryways.
SMD 3.0 & Perimeter AI
Analyzes target shapes using deep learning to accurately identify humans and vehicles, avoiding nuisance alarms from animals or weather.
Built-in Mic & Audio Support
Includes an integrated microphone for real-time sound monitoring along with audio input/output ports for external audio hardware.
IP66 Weather & IK08 Impact Protection
Ruggedized mini-dome housing withstands extreme weather conditions and physical impacts in exposed environments.
Best For
