Common questions

What does Starlight mean?

Starlight is Dahua's low-light sensor technology. It lets the camera capture more detail and accurate colour at night or in limited light, so it performs well in low light (0.004 lux minimum illumination at F1.6). Read our Starlight low-light cameras guide.

Does it record sound?

Yes. The -A model has a built-in microphone and an audio input, and audio is carried over the coax cable to a compatible HDCVI recorder.

Is it suitable outdoors?

Yes. It is rated IP67 against dust and water and IK10 for impact resistance, and runs from -40°C to +60°C. It works as a waterproof camera and an outdoor CCTV camera.

How far does the IR reach?

As an infrared camera it reaches up to 20m with Smart IR, which is well suited to rooms, corridors and entrances.

What does HDCVI mean?

HDCVI is Dahua's HD analogue technology, so this is an HD analogue CCTV camera that carries HD video over existing coaxial cable. See HDCVI cameras explained and Penta-brid recorders explained.

Which lens does this listing have?

The 2.8mm lens (110° horizontal). Dahua also lists a 3.6mm version of this camera under a different part number.
