Dahua rolls out new multi-sensor camera for optimal wide-angle surveillance

Industrial

Dahua Technology, a provider of smart IoT solutions, has announced a new edition to their North American product line. An indoor/outdoor, second-generation 4x5MP multi-sensor camera, ideal for flexible, wide-area surveillance

Featuring four 1/2.7-in 5MP progressive-scan CMOS sensors, each with a 2.8 to 12mm motorized lens, the DH-IPC-PDBW82041N-B360 allows each unstitched sensor, configured independently of the others. 

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 TM can be configured to minimise blind spots for improved situational awareness.

The camera combines a true day and night mechanical IR cut filter 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, 1.65A power supply.

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

Jennifer Hackenburg, senior product marketing manager for Dahua USA, said, “With its combination of independently focused sensors, advanced analytics and strong low-light performance, Dahua’s new multi-sensor camera delivers ultimate flexibility and security for monitoring wide areas. Additionally, the unique, future-proof platform of the Multi-flexTM provides organisations of all sizes the ability to deploy a security system that truly matches their video surveillance needs now and also if requirements change in the future.”
