Featuring powerful 30X optical zoom and accurate pan/tilt/zoom performance, the Dahua DH-SD6AE230F-HNI PTZ camera provides an all-in-one solution for capturing long distance video surveillance for outdoor applications. Together with infrared illumination and Starlight Technology, the camera is the perfect solution for dark and low-light applications, and supports an extensive infrared range up to 200 metres. The series combines a day/night mechanical IR cut filter for the highest image quality in variable lighting conditions during the day, and True WDR for applications with direct sunlight or glare. Auto-Tracking is supported with various patrol modes, as well as Heatmap, Tripwire, Intrusion and face detection capability.
FEATURES

Starlight Technology
For challenging low-light applications, Dahua’s Starlight Ultra-low Light Technology offers best-in-class light sensitivity, capturing color details in low light down to 0.002 lux. The camera uses a set of optical features to balance light throughout the scene, resulting in clear images in dark environments.
Wide Dynamic Range
The camera achieves vivid images, even in the most intense contrast lighting conditions, using industry-leading wide dynamic range (WDR) technology. For applications with both bright and low lighting conditions that change quickly, True WDR (120 dB) optimizes both the bright and dark areas of a scene at the same time to provide usable video.
Auto-tracking
This feature controls the pan/tilt/zoom actions of the camera to automatically track an object in motion and to keep it in the scene. The tracking action can be triggered manually or automatically by defined rules. Once a rule is triggered, the camera can zoom in and track the defined target automatically.
Environmental
Dahua cameras operate in extreme temperature environments, rated for use in temperatures from -40 °C to +70 °C (-40 °F to +158 °F) with 95% humidity. The camera complies with the IK10 Vandal Resistance impact rating. Subjected to rigorous dust and water immersion tests and certified to the IP67 Ingress Protection rating makes it suitable for demanding outdoor applications.
Protection
The camera allows for ±25% input voltage tolerance, suitable for the most unstable conditions for outdoor applications. Its 8KV lightning rating provides effective protection for both the camera and its structure against lightning.
Interoperability
The camera conforms to the ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) specifications, ensuring interoperability between network video products regardless of manufacturer.
