Dahua Explains The Benefits Of Pro-Active Video Surveillance And Full-Color Technology To Their Users

There are really two kinds of video surveillance available to users. Passive (or traditional) video surveillance is where cameras record the scenes in front of them, providing little opportunity for user response or deterrence in real time – unless live images are being constantly monitored by human operators.

Passive video surveillance is therefore mainly used for post-event analysis of images. Pro-active video surveillance, on the other hand, takes an active approach to preventing or responding to security incidents.

Smart motion detection

Proactive surveillance is necessary for the efficient running of a lean, cost-effective surveillance operation

Using a combination of AI, smart motion detection, and active deterrence measures, pro-active surveillance enables users to more readily respond to situations in real-time, assisting their monitoring capabilities and resources by only activating when there is a potential incident.

Proactive surveillance is necessary for the efficient running of a lean, cost-effective surveillance operation, which does not have to rely on multiple human operators constantly monitoring hours of uneventful images.

TiOC (three-in-one camera) is a solution users should consider when choosing a pro-active video surveillance. It is equipped with 3 main features: Smart Dual Illuminators, Active Deterrence, and AI. It can effectively warn off intruders with active deterrence, and notify users in time with real-time alarm, making it suitable for areas and properties that require 24/7 security such as villas, shops, warehouses, etc.

Reducing light pollution

The Smart Dual Illuminators of TiOC offers three illumination modes. The IR mode turns on the infrared light, while the Warm Light mode activates the warm light. The Smart Illumination Mode is the default mode that switches the lighting between IR and warm light depending on the situation. When a target is detected, the IR light will switch to warm light.

And when the target enters the rule area, the alarm will be triggered (Active Deterrence), which will activate the siren and red & blue warning light. When the target leaves the monitored area, the supplementary warm light will turn off and the IR illuminator will turn back on. These different illumination modes can flexibly accommodate the actual needs of users and can significantly help reduce light pollution in the monitored scene.

Smart exposure technology

TiOC utilizes Dahua Full-color technology that captures full color footages of the monitored scene

For better image performance, TiOC utilizes Dahua Full-color technology that captures full color footages of the monitored scene even in dark environment or at night. It provides clear details of the target, which can significantly help backtracking in case of an event.

In addition, thanks to its smart exposure technology, the camera can realize time-sharing control of the captured image and prevent the interference of flashing red & blue light in the image when a target is detected in the rule area.

This ensures clear color images that can be used for further investigation needed be. In terms of AI, the Scheduled AI function of TiOC allows users to schedule their monitoring modes on different time periods. It is ideal for a wide-range of application scenarios that require automatic and flexible alarms such as homes, retail stores, beach properties, and more.

Efficient surveillance operation

So users have seen the way in which active video surveillance helps to drastically reduce the amount of video data that users need to monitor, providing a more streamlined and efficient surveillance operation.

When choosing a pro-active video surveillance, consider a security system that combines TiOC with full-color capability, which not only provides users with multiple ways to take action before a security incident occurs but also guarantees clear and color footage even at night for after-event traceability, achieving double protection.
