What this camera does
This 360° AI camera is made for situations where you do not want to miss anything and still want to keep an overview. The 1.98 mm fisheye lens delivers a complete view of the space, while smart functions such as People Count, queue management and Heatmap help you to understand visitor flows and make decisions faster. The camera is vandal-resistant and weatherproof, so you can be sure it keeps performing. With two-way audio you can respond to events immediately. And thanks to efficient video compression and power via a single network cable (PoE), installation and storage costs stay low. This is a combination of reliability, simplicity and power.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a separate power supply?
No, with PoE, power and video run over the same network cable. Your recorder or switch must then supply PoE. If it does not, the camera can run on a separate 12 V power supply.
Can this camera be mounted outdoors?
Yes. The housing is IP67 and IK10 and is therefore made for outdoor use. Mount it with screws and plugs, and feed the cable through the supplied cable gland so that no moisture reaches the connection.
Does the camera work with my phone?
Yes, with Dahua's free DMSS app you can watch live, play back recordings and receive notifications. The link to the app is provided.
Which mounting parts do I need?
That depends on the surface. The parts that Dahua lists for this model are shown under "Frequently bought together" on this page. If you are unsure, call or email us and we will help you check.
