Dahua Technology, the Chinese manufacturer and supplier of video surveillance products based in Hangzhou, has introduced its new Eco-Savvy 2.0 series of network cameras.
The company says that its latest 2.0 series maintains the ‘green’, energy-saving concept of its Eco-Savvy range, including the Ambarella S2LM chip. The new cameras feature a 4-megapixel progressive-scan CMOS, which delivers images at 20fps (frames per second). The result, the makers say, is an image twice as clear as a traditional 1080p camera.
The series offers smart detection features, including face, tripwire, and intrusion detection.
The products also offer WDR (wide dynamic range) image enhancement, triple video streams, and Intelligent Video Surveillance (IVS). The wide dynamic range (of 120dB) means the cameras perform in scenes that are back-lit as well as those in dark areas, which has traditionally been challenging for CCTV cameras. Dahua has also introduced improvements in the series’ sensors. The infrared light sensor allows the camera to switch between day and night modes dynamically and automatically, changing as needed according to lighting.
The new series also features IP67 ingress protection and IK10 vandal-proofing to ensure that the cameras work in the most challenging conditions.The 2.0 series operates in temperatures between minus 40 degrees F (minus 40 degrees Celsius) and 140 degrees F (60degrees Celsius). The compact design of the Eco-Savvy 2.0 series is suitable the makers add for medium and large-scale applications, such as schools, hotels and factories.
