The wedge-shaped chassis mounts flush into a wall-ceiling corner with no protruding components, hinges or ligature points. Built around a 1/1.8" CMOS capturing 2688 × 1520 at 25/30 fps with triple-stream H.265 + H.264 encoding. The 2.5 mm fixed lens with distortion correction delivers a wide corner-fill field of view; built-in IR reaches up to 10 m for the close-range room coverage typical of cells, interview rooms and holding areas; WDR is 140 dB. The metal housing is rated IK10 +50 J impact — one of the highest-rated impact ratings in any commercial CCTV camera — and IP67 sealed. Onboard Pro AI features include perimeter protection, SMD Plus and abnormality detection. ePoE supports long-distance PoE runs on Cat6. Built for Australian custodial, mental health, secure aged-care, youth justice and police custody applications.

Anti-ligature equipment is designed without protrusions, sharp edges or hardware that can be used as a tie point. Required in custodial, mental health and youth detention environments to reduce self-harm risk. What does "IK10 +50 J" mean? Standard IK10 cameras withstand 20 J of impact (5 kg dropped 40 cm). This camera withstands 50 J — over 2.5× more impact energy. Designed for environments where direct, repeated impact is expected. How do I mount it? The chassis is shaped to sit flush in the corner of a wall and ceiling at 90°. Standard wall and ceiling brackets are not used — the camera mounts directly to the corner. How far does it see at night? Up to 10 m built-in IR — designed for the close-range coverage required in cells and interview rooms. Does it have audio? Yes — 1 in / 1 out audio I/O for talk-back. Audio recording in custodial and health-care environments is subject to local compliance — check before enabling. Does it work with third-party VMS? Yes — ONVIF Profile S, G, T. What is the warranty? 5-year Australian warranty via CCTV Guru. What temperature range? −30 °C to +60 °C. Can I view it on my phone? Yes — Dahua's free DMSS app on iOS and Android.
