Dahua Technology USA, a pioneer, video-centric, provider of smart IoT solutions, announces a new 2x4MP multi-sensor ePoE camera series and improved classification of their Night Color low-light technology.  Night Color Technology has been recategorized across all Dahua Technology USA cameras that utilize this technology, a move that helps security dealers and integrators more efficiently choose the appropriate camera for superior performance in low-light environments. The first generation of Night Color Technology was launched in 2018, offering full color images in very low-light scenarios without the use of LEDs or IR cut filters. Low-Light cameras stems “Our decision to modify the naming conventions for our low-light cameras stems from our commitment to help our customers succeed,” remarked Jennifer Hackenburg, Product Marketing Director at Dahua Technology USA. Dealers and installers need to be able to confidently recommend products and technologies" Jennifer Hackenburg adds, “Dealers and installers need to be able to confidently recommend products and technologies to their clients and clearly explain the benefits of choosing a particular camera. Regrouping our Night Color family into more straightforward categories will help our dealers demonstrate more expertise and confidence when they are selling.” Cost-Effective offering Night Color is now categorized into three groups:  Basic Night Color features VU-MORE cameras as a cost-effective offering. Integrated white-light LEDs illuminate when human motion is detected and the camera reverts to IR for covertness in dark scenarios. Enhanced Night Color offers integrated white-light LEDs for continuous illumination when the scene gets dark. The LEDs act as a deterrence until lighting is restored. Night Color+ features Fusion cameras as the top tier offering with the best covert performance in near-dark scenarios without any white light LEDs. Panoramic camera series Dahua is also pleased to announce the release of their first Enhanced Night Color 180° panoramic camera With the new categories of Night Color, Dahua is also pleased to announce the release of their first Enhanced Night Color 180° panoramic camera series (DH-IPC-PFW5849-A180-E2-ASTE and DH-IPC-PDW5849-A180-E2-ASTE).  It is equipped with dual 4MP sensors that deliver a single panoramic image without blind spots approximately three times greater than the light intake of a typical F1.6 aperture, the camera’s F1.0 aperture allows for significantly brighter and clearer color images of the scene in dark environments. Additional notable features include two-way talk with a verbal alarm warning. Single panoramic image There are 10 pre-recorded verbal warnings and users can upload their own audio warning. With the unique Electronic Pan Tilt Zoom (EPTZ) capability, the camera automatically tracks the target on the sub images while showing the full 180 field-of-view on the same stream. The camera also has a new analytic feature, Smart Object Detection, a component of Dahua’s Analytics+ technology. Smart Object Detection analyses a scene to trigger an alarm when an object remains in or is removed from a monitoring area. The advanced algorithm can identify four types of objects— luggage, bags, boxes, and non-motor vehicles—and filter false alarms due to leaves, animals, and other inconsequential objects. Additional Analytics+ functions include perimeter protection, people counting, and Smart Motion Detection (SMD).

Imagine walking on a busy street at night and suddenly hearing loud shouting, followed by a large commotion. An incident has just happened right at the corner of the witness’ eye. They probably heard some noise and saw bits and pieces. Nevertheless, chances are that they would not be able to recall every detail of what happened based on their line of sight and by just plain memory. It was dark after all. This is basically the same dilemma that many establishments nowadays face with their traditional security surveillance. There might be cameras in the area, but not enough to cover large scenarios. Large areas typically require more cameras, leading to high deployment costs that many of us cannot afford. Enhancing night-time surveillance In places such as squares, parking lots, and hallways where full coverage with absolutely no blind spots is imperative Under dark condition or during night-time, images captured by traditional cameras are normally just dull black and white footages; ‘recorded with a potato’ as some would say. Also, these devices are typically not equipped with microphone or speaker, which means ‘Two-way Talk’ is just simply impossible during an event. In places such as squares, parking lots, and hallways where full coverage with absolutely no blind spots is imperative, installing a panoramic camera is a no brainer. Panoramic cameras Panoramic camera, as its name suggests, is a fixed camera that can provide wide-area coverage, making it an excellent alternative to daunting installation of multiple cameras just to cover a large scene. In terms of features and functionalities, the Dahua Full-color Dual Lens 180° Panoramic PTZ & IPC devices tick all the boxes of an efficient security solution that can address the abovementioned monitoring challenges. Seamless stitching & advanced image fusion technology The Dahua Full-color Dual Lens 180° Panoramic PTZ & IPC devices are equipped with dual sensors that deliver a 180-degree field of view. Now, how do these cameras generate a single 180° panoramic image? First, the right and left lenses capture an image. Next, using standardized image correction technology, the camera calculates the feature values of the left and right image to avoid warping and pixel loss. Lastly, the Dahua advanced pixel-level metadata fusion algorithm enables seamless splicing of the image. The result: a seamless 180° wide-angle image of a large scene using just one camera! Dahua’s Full-color Technology Compared to F1.6 aperture, the light intake of F1.0 aperture is 3 times larger For better image performance, both panoramic PTZ and IPC devices utilize Dahua’s very own Full-color technology. Each camera lens supports F1.0 aperture to collect more light. Compared to F1.6 aperture, the light intake of F1.0 aperture is 3 times larger, providing significantly brighter and clearer color image of the monitored scene, even in dark environments or during night-time. In addition, underneath the lenses are two warm lights, which have lesser effect on the human eyes, and helps reduce light pollution in the monitored area. EPTZ (electronic pan, tilt and zoom) One cool feature of the panoramic IPC is EPTZ (electronic pan, tilt and zoom) that uses digital zoom technology to provide real PTZ-like features on a fixed non-PTZ camera. It provides a panoramic image for a wider view of the scene, as well as sub images that focus on specific area or target. It offers five different layouts or modes. Each mode includes a wide-angle view that can hold 1, 3 or 5 different sub images for a more convenient monitoring experience. Independent mode and smart linkage mode For the panoramic PTZ camera, both panoramic and detail views support AI functions. Two cameras can be independently deployed towards different directions to cover wider areas. What’s more, the smart linkage mode can be integrated with IVS, enabling the panoramic camera to capture the whole view of the scene while the speed dome camera zooms in to acquire details, when alarms are triggered, thus increasing safety in the monitored area. Two-way Talk This Dahua panoramic camera is also equipped with built-in microphone and speaker that supports Two-way Talk function. When connected to the network, users can communicate through the camera anytime, anywhere. How convenient is that? AI functions The Perimeter Protection utilizes deep learning algorithm to accurately identify targets with high accuracy These cameras will not be complete without AI functions. The Perimeter Protection utilizes deep learning algorithm to accurately identify targets with high accuracy. It supports up to 6 types of rules, and can provide real-time alarms and push notifications via the mobile app. The IPC has People Counting function that can accurately calculate the real-time statistics of people entering and leaving a certain area, enabling timely dispersion measures to avoid overcrowding and generating traffic flow and valuable data that can aid business analysis. It also includes Smart Motion Detection (SMD) that can accurately detect targets in the monitored scene by filtering out nuisance objects like leaves, animals, headlights, etc. Takeaway Capturing the entire scene in one color image is possible with just a single camera. The Dahua Full-color Dual Lens 180° Panoramic PTZ & IPC devices serve as an intelligent solution that provides wide-area monitoring coverage. Larger scene can be constantly monitored with just one camera, saving time and installation costs for installers and end users. Its built-in mic and speaker enable users to communicate to the detected target in the scene anywhere and anytime. And thanks to Dahua's Full-color technology, this intelligent panoramic camera can provide clear color images even at night, which essential in providing 24/7 continuous is monitoring in large application scenarios, such as squares, hallways, and parking lots.
