New multi-sensor cameras

Dahua Technology has announced the addition of two new multi-sensor cameras to its IP product line. The latest addition to Dahua’s multi-sensor family is the Multi-flex, a 4 x 2 MP multi-sensor camera was built for flexibility and evolving customer change-requirements. The platform of the Multi-flex provides organisations of all sizes the ability to deploy a security system that truly matches their video surveillance needs now and if requirements change in the future.

The camera offers advanced streaming capabilities and are designed on an efficient H.265 encoding platform capable of delivering high quality video without straining the network. With the Dahua Smart H.264+/H.265+ optimised codec, a higher savings on bandwidth and storage is realised.

With its flexibility to simultaneously move each sensor module around the camera’s internal track for 180-, 270-, or 360-degree fields of view, and its integrated IR illuminators, at up to 30 metres, the Multi-flex can be configured to minimise blind spots for improved situational awareness.

Regardless of the time of day, this camera is ideal for applications with challenging lighting conditions. The Multi-flex offers Enhanced Starlight Technology so that images remain in colour for a longer period of time (0.005 lux). The camera combines a true day/night mechanical IR cut filter for high quality images in environments with changing lighting conditions. For applications with bright or over saturated lighting, true wide dynamic range delivers up to 120 dB at full resolution on channel 1 and digital wide dynamic range on channels 2-4.

Power can be supplied via a single Power-over-Ethernet compliant network cable (PoE+) or with power from a 24 V AC, 3 A power supply.

Dahua’s new dual-sensor dome camera functions as two individual cameras in one compact indoor/outdoor rated housing. The camera has two independent, 2 MP, STARVIS CMOS sensors with dual-stream encoding (per sensor) and the Dahua Intelligent Video System (IVS) analytics, including facial detection.

Additional highlights include IR distance of up to 20 metres, basic Starlight Technology for scenes with low-light conditions (0.009 lux), and True Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) at 120 dB for challenging direct sunlight or glare. Power can be supplied via a single Power-over-Ethernet compliant network cable (PoE) or with power from a 12 V DC power supply.

Dahua Technology’s Multi-flex and dual-sensor offer an interface that allows for an intuitive, fast, and easy configuration; while the Smart PSS tool enables users to quickly configure multiple cameras at one time. Both cameras are ONVIF compliant, providing interoperability between network video products regardless of manufacturer. Additionally, only one VMS licence is required.
