AI & Intelligent Surveillance Features

SMD Plus by Camera

With a compatible camera, Smart Motion Detection Plus can categorise relevant targets that trigger motion detection and filter alarms generated by non-concerned targets, helping improve motion alarm accuracy.

Face Detection by Camera

Compatible cameras can detect human faces within video and use deep-learning processing for detection, tracking, optimisation and capture. Supported face attributes include gender, age group, glasses, expressions, face mask and beard.

Face Recognition by Camera

Face recognition functionality can extract features from captured faces and compare them against faces stored in a face database when supported by the connected camera and system configuration.

Perimeter Protection by Camera

Compatible cameras can provide intelligent perimeter protection designed to reduce false alarms generated by factors such as animals, moving leaves and changing light conditions.

Stereo Analysis by Camera

Supported cameras can use three-dimensional scene information and deep-learning algorithms to identify specified behaviours or conditions, including fall detection, violence detection, stay detection and space exceptions.

Heat Map by Camera

Compatible heat-map cameras can represent crowd density and appearance probability using different colours, providing a visual representation of activity across space and time.

System anomaly monitoring includes camera disconnection, storage errors, disk full, IP conflicts, MAC conflicts, login lock and cybersecurity exceptions.

Available alarm linkage functions include recording, snapshot, IPC external alarm output, audio, buzzer, log, preset and email, subject to system configuration and connected-device capabilities.

Practical Use Scenarios

The EZ-N44PRO is suitable for compact IP surveillance deployments requiring up to four cameras. Typical applications include small retail stores and offices requiring local 4K-capable monitoring, residential security installations, reception and entrance monitoring, small educational facilities, and other commercial sites where integrated PoE can simplify camera installation.

Its AI-by-camera architecture also makes it suitable where compatible Dahua cameras are being used for more targeted applications such as perimeter monitoring, human/vehicle-oriented motion detection, face-related analytics, people counting or heat-map analysis.
