AI & Intelligent Surveillance Features

SMD Plus by Camera

When used with compatible cameras, the EZ-N48PRO supports Smart Motion Detection Plus on up to six channels. SMD Plus is designed to categorise relevant motion targets and filter motion alarms generated by non-concerned targets, helping improve the effectiveness and accuracy of surveillance alerts.

Face Detection by Camera

Compatible cameras can detect faces appearing in video and use deep-learning algorithms for face detection, tracking, optimisation and image capture. Supported face attributes listed for the NVR include gender, age group, glasses, expressions, face mask and beard.

The EZ-N48PRO supports face detection by camera on up to 6 channels.

Face Recognition by Camera

Face recognition technology extracts characteristics from captured faces and compares them against faces stored in a configured face database.

The EZ-N48PRO supports face recognition by compatible cameras on up to 6 channels.

Perimeter Protection by Camera

Compatible intelligent cameras can provide perimeter protection designed to reduce false alarms caused by irrelevant environmental activity such as animals, moving leaves and bright or changing lights.

The EZ-N48PRO supports perimeter protection by camera on up to 6 channels.

Stereo Analysis by Camera

With compatible cameras, stereo analysis uses deep-learning algorithms and three-dimensional scene information to identify specified behaviours and conditions such as fall detection, violence detection, stay detection and space exceptions, generating alarms and configured linkage actions when applicable.

Heat Map by Camera

Heat-map functionality from compatible cameras can visually represent crowd density and appearance probability using different colours. This provides a way to analyse activity across both spatial and time dimensions.

Alarm linkage options include recording, snapshots, IPC external alarm output, audio, buzzer, log, preset and email.

Storage

The EZ-N48PRO provides one SATA HDD interface. According to the supplied specification, the recorder supports a disk capacity of up to 20TB, although the stated maximum may vary depending on environmental temperature.

A hard drive should not be assumed to be supplied with the recorder unless explicitly included in the product bundle.

Practical Use Scenarios

The Dahua EZ-N48PRO is particularly suited to surveillance installations requiring up to eight IP cameras and straightforward PoE connectivity.

Typical applications include residential properties requiring multi-camera perimeter and entry monitoring, retail stores covering entrances, sales floors and stock areas, small and medium offices, educational environments, financial or professional premises, warehouses and workshops, reception areas and other commercial sites.

For installations using compatible intelligent Dahua cameras, the NVR can also form part of systems requiring SMD Plus, perimeter monitoring, face-related analytics, people counting, stereo analysis or heat-map functionality.
