Designed for demanding Australian and New Zealand environments, this advanced PTZ camera offers true off-grid security without compromise.

Key Features That Set It Apart
Dual 3MP Sensors for Maximum Coverage
This camera uses two independent 3MP sensors—one fixed and one PTZ—allowing simultaneous monitoring of both wide and focused views. This significantly improves situational awareness compared to single-lens systems.
Hybrid-Zoom PTZ with Auto Tracking
With pan (0–350°), tilt (0–90°), and 6× hybrid zoom, the camera actively tracks movement using Auto Tracking Lite. This ensures suspicious activity is followed in real time without manual control.
WizColor + AI Image Processing
Dahua’s WizColor technology combined with AI ISP enhances colour accuracy and visibility in low-light environments. The result is clear, usable footage even in challenging lighting conditions.
True Off-Grid Operation (Solar + 4G)
One of the biggest advantages of this system is its complete independence:
- 4G LTE connectivity (no Wi-Fi or NBN required)
- Solar-powered with 65Wh battery
- No trenching, cabling, or infrastructure costs
This makes it ideal for rapid deployment anywhere.
Always-On Video (AOV) Mode
Unlike typical battery cameras, this unit supports 24/7 recording using low-power adaptive frame rates. It switches to high frame rate during events, balancing performance and efficiency.
Intelligent Detection with SMD 3.0
AI-powered human and vehicle detection reduces false alarms from animals, weather, or irrelevant motion—ensuring only real threats are captured and alerted.
Active Deterrence Built-In
Security is not just about recording—it’s about prevention. This camera includes:
- Built-in siren and voice alerts
- White light deterrence
- Two-way audio communication
This allows real-time interaction and immediate response to intrusions.
