Dahua launches Hunter Series

Issue 1 2020 Surveillance

In large-scene applications, it is difficult for a panoramic surveillance equipment to acquire real-time round-the-clock data due to factors such as blind spots, aperture limitation, fixed monitoring scenes etc. Aiming to solve these common problems, Dahua Technology has launched its new Hunter SDT5X Series camera.

Featuring smart tracking, perimeter protection, video metadata, face recognition and many other intelligent functions, the Hunter series integrates both advantages of panoramic and PTZ cameras to provide a flexible solution for multi-scene surveillance needs. In addition to the ability to provide wider range of panoramic coverage and real-time detail capture in ultra-high-definition scenes, it also allows multi-scene monitoring based on a customised time schedule, as well as auto-calibration, clear imaging and intelligent applications under complex lighting conditions.

The Hunter series adopts a powerful dual-PTZ system to achieve double performance. With panoramic lens above and detail capture lens below, it can meet various monitoring needs with one camera. Both lenses can be horizontally and vertically controlled, enabling monitoring and smart tracking within a wider range. At the same time, it supports simultaneous monitoring of multiple scenes to guarantee all-round security. The operator can even schedule time slots according to different monitoring needs.

The camera uses Dahua’s self-developed PFA+ autofocus technology to achieve simultaneous video focusing and zooming, which shortens the focusing time. Additionally, the camera also supports Dahua Starlight+ Technology which achieves clear image quality, as well as intelligent identification of vehicles, non-motor vehicles, people, and other structured targets, not only maximising monitoring effectiveness, but also providing high-quality data for back-end business applications.

Another outstanding feature of the Dahua Hunter series is its quick installation and debugging. With a lightweight structure, the camera only requires one person to complete the installation by directly replacing the original installation point with the new one, eliminating inconvenience of construction and debugging, greatly improving efficiency and reducing additional costs.

Thanks to the Dahua self-developed Prediction Exposure Algorithm (PEA) and AE2.0 Algorithm, the exposure can be completed once the scene is rotated to the correct position, providing more calculation time for autofocus and intelligent algorithm. At the same time, it makes the debugging process smooth and stable, and realises regular exposure during video capturing.
