Dahua Starlight Low-Light Cameras Explained
Clearer pictures at dusk, dawn and in poorly lit yards.
Starlight is Dahua's name for a camera sensor built for low light. It gives clearer, less grainy footage in dim conditions than a standard sensor of the same resolution.
We stock Starlight across Dahua's HDCVI camera range and on Starlight PTZ models.

What is Starlight?
Starlight is Dahua's name for a larger, more light-sensitive camera sensor. You get better footage in low light, such as dusk, dawn, and poorly lit car parks and yards, than a standard sensor of the same resolution gives.
It's a feature of the sensor, not a separate product family. So you'll find it combined with Dahua's other technologies: for example an HDCVI camera (HD over coax cable) or a PTZ camera (it pans, tilts and zooms) with a Starlight sensor.

Questions
What does Dahua Starlight mean?
Starlight is Dahua's name for cameras built with a larger, more light-sensitive sensor, giving clearer, less noisy footage in low ambient light than a standard sensor of the same resolution.
Is Starlight the same as a colour night vision camera?
Not necessarily. Starlight describes the sensor's low-light sensitivity; whether the camera stays in colour at night or switches to infrared black-and-white depends on the specific model, shown on its product page.
What Dahua ranges use Starlight sensors?
We stock Starlight sensors mainly in Dahua's HDCVI camera and PTZ range, including fixed dome, bullet, box and pinhole HDCVI cameras and Starlight PTZ cameras.
