Dahua Technology USA Rolls Out New Multi-Sensor Camera For Optimal Wide-angle Surveillance

Dahua Technology USA, a globally renowned, video-centric, provider of smart IoT solutions, announces a new edition to their North American product line - an indoor/outdoor, second-generation 4x5 MP multi-sensor camera that is ideal for flexible, wide-area surveillance.

Featuring four 1/2.7-in 5 MP progressive-scan CMOS sensors, each with a 2.8 to 12 mm motorized lens, the DH-IPC-PDBW82041N-B360 allows each unstitched sensor to be configured independently of the others. This enables flexible, multi-directional video surveillance that replaces multiple single-sensor cameras and is ideal for monitoring large areas.

New camera featuring FlexStream technology

The new Dahua camera offers FlexStream technology that displays simultaneous video from each sensor in a single channel. With its incredible flexibility to simultaneously move each sensor module and its integrated IR illuminators at up to 98 feet (30 meters), around the camera’s internal track for 180-, 270-, or 360-degree fields of view, the Multi-flex can be configured to minimize blind spots for improved situational awareness.

Regardless of time of day, this camera is ideal for applications with challenging lighting conditions. The Multi-flex camera offers Enhanced Starlight Technology so images remain in color for a longer period of time at much lower light levels (0.005 lux).

The camera offers advanced streaming capabilities and is designed on an efficient H.265 encoding platform

The new Multi-flex camera combines a true day/night mechanical IR cut filter, in order to produce high-quality images for environments, with changing lighting conditions. For applications with bright or oversaturated lighting, true wide dynamic range delivers up to 120 dB at full resolution on all channels. Power can be supplied via a single Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) compliant network cable or with power from a 12 VDC, 1.65 A power supply.

The camera offers advanced streaming capabilities and is designed on an efficient H.265 encoding platform that is capable of delivering high-quality video, without straining the network. With Dahua Technology’s Smart H.264+ / H.265+ optimized codec, end users realize greater savings on bandwidth and storage costs.
