The Dahua DH-SD1A404DB-GNY 4MP 4x Starlight IR WizSense Network PTZ Camera is a compact AI-powered IP surveillance camera featuring 2560 × 1440 resolution, 4x optical zoom, Starlight low-light imaging, up to 20m infrared illumination, SMD 3.0, perimeter protection, face detection, people counting, PoE and IP66/IK08 protection. Designed for flexible indoor and outdoor surveillance, it combines remotely controllable pan and tilt with Dahua WizSense analytics for intelligent monitoring of people, vehicles and protected areas.

Built around a 1/2.8" 4MP CMOS sensor and a 2.8–12mm optical zoom lens, the DH-SD1A404DB-GNY provides a wide 96.9° horizontal field of view at the wide end while allowing operators to zoom optically into areas requiring closer observation. PTZ functionality includes 0°–355° pan, 5°–90° tilt, 300 presets and eight tours.

Starlight Low-Light Performance

Dahua Starlight technology is designed for challenging low-light environments. The camera is rated down to 0.005 lux in colour and 0.0005 lux in black and white at F1.8, while integrated infrared illumination provides visibility up to 20 metres and enables operation at 0 lux with the illuminator active.

WizSense AI & SMD 3.0

Dahua WizSense uses deep-learning-based analytics focused on meaningful surveillance targets. The DH-SD1A404DB-GNY supports intelligent functions including perimeter protection, face detection, people counting and SMD 3.0.

SMD 3.0 helps distinguish relevant human and vehicle targets from other motion events, helping reduce unnecessary motion alarms and allowing operators to focus on important security events.

Intelligent Perimeter Protection

The DH-SD1A404DB-GNY supports advanced IVS functions including tripwire, intrusion, crossing fence detection, loitering detection, abandoned or missing object detection, fast-moving detection, parking detection, people gathering and human alarm classification.

120dB WDR & Image Enhancement

For entrances, windows and other scenes containing bright and dark areas simultaneously, 120dB Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) helps maintain usable detail across contrasting areas.

Additional image-enhancement functions include BLC, HLC, 2D/3D noise reduction, electronic defog and Electronic Image Stabilisation (EIS).

Efficient Video Compression & Storage

The camera supports Smart H.265+, H.265, Smart H.264+, H.264 and MJPEG video compression with three video streams.

Local recording is supported through a microSD card up to 512GB, with FTP/SFTP and NAS storage options also supported.

Built-In Audio

A built-in microphone provides audio capture alongside video surveillance. The camera also provides one audio input and one audio output. The line input and built-in microphone are mutually exclusive.

Built for Outdoor Installations

The DH-SD1A404DB-GNY features IP66 weather protection and IK08 impact resistance and has an operating temperature range of –30°C to +60°C.

It also provides TVS 6000V lightning protection, surge protection and voltage transient protection for demanding surveillance installations.
