Smart Dual Illuminators
The camera oers both IR and white-light illuminators and intelligently 
employs each depending on the situaon. Typically, the camera enters 
the IR mode as ambient light decreases. When the camera detects 
an object entering the monitoring area, it acvates the white-light 
illuminator to capture full-color details. Once the object leaves the area, 
the camera switches back to IR illuminaon.
Enhanced Power over Ethernet (ePoE) Technology
Dahua's innovave ePoE technology oers a plug-and-play soluon to 
transmit power and data over long distances via Ethernet or coaxial 
cables, reducing installaon me and saving money. ePoE technology is 
a viable, cost-eecve soluon for extending transmission distances and 
for converng exisng, coax-based analog systems into IP systems.
Starlight Technology
For challenging low-light applicaons, Dahua's Starlight Ultra-low Light 
Technology oers best-in-class light sensivity, capturing color details 
in low light condions. The camera uses a set of opcal features to 
balance light throughout the scene, resulng in clear images in dark 
environments.
ArccPro
The Dahua ArccPro Series of extreme-environment cameras combine 
temperature-tolerant components, a waterproof enclosure, and an 
integrated heater to ensure awless operaon in temperatures as low as 
–40° C (–40° F). For applicaons that demand high-resoluon video with 
advanced features in extremely cold environments, the Dahua ArccPro 
Series oers a camera to sasfy the most demanding requirements.
Environmental
The camera complies with an IK10 impact rang making it capable of 
withstanding the equivalent of 5 kg (11.02 lbs) of force dropped from 
a height of 40 cm (15.75 in.). Subjected to rigorous dust and water 
immersion tests and cered to the IP67 Ingress Protecon rang makes 
it suitable for demanding outdoor applicaons.

System Overview
The Dahua 5 MP Acve Alarm camera oers Analycs+ funcons at the 
edge – performing complex real-me face capture, people counng, 
and perimeter protecon surveillance. The Acve Alarm funcon 
responds automacally to triggered alarms using predened responses. 
The camera is ideal for a host of diverse applicaons — Starlight+, True 
Wide Dynamic Range, and Smart Dual illuminators allow the camera to 
operate in any lighng condion and the IP67 and IK10 rang make the 
camera suitable for the harshest environments. 
Funcons
Acve Alarm
The camera features acve alarm funconality to respond automacally 
to a triggered alarm. The congurable automac responses include 
acvaon of the white-light illuminator to capture color images of the 
scene and the broadcast of a built-in message or siren. 
Face Mask Detecon¹
The camera captures faces from video images and analyzes the image 
for the presence of a face mask, useful for maintaining entrance 
management policies. The camera is capable of detecng a person 
without a mask at up to 17 feet and sounds a voice alert nofying the 
person about the absence of a mask. 
People Counng
The camera uses complex real-me people counng algorithms to 
deliver accurate ow stascs from two disnct people counng 
funcons, Line Crossing and Regional. The line crossing funcon counts 
the number of people crossing a dened line, and the regional funcon 
counts the number of people in a disnct, user-dened area.
Perimeter Protecon
Dahua Analycs+ includes Tripwire and Intrusion funcons that oer 
custom tripwires based on object type for automaon in limited access 
areas. Perimeter Protecon requires less pixels to detect an object to 
deliver improved accuracy and decreased false alarms due to lights, 
weather, trees, or animals.
