Key Features
5MP Starlight Pro SensorDahua's Starlight Pro technology captures clear, detailed colour imagery in near-zero light conditions — far beyond what standard 5MP HDCVI cameras can achieve. Ideal for dimly lit car parks, corridors and entry points where colour detail matters at night.
120dB True Wide Dynamic Range120dB True WDR balances exposure across extreme lighting contrasts — bright sunlight through a window, headlights at a gate, or a backlit doorway. No more washed-out or silhouetted subjects.
60m Smart IR Night VisionSmart IR automatically adjusts infrared intensity based on subject distance, preventing overexposure at close range and maintaining clarity at up to 60 metres.
Built-in MicrophoneThe integrated microphone captures on-site audio alongside video — useful for retail, reception areas and any site where audio context adds investigative value. No separate audio cable required.
Penta-brid Compatibility (CVI/AHD/TVI/CVBS)Switchable between HDCVI, AHD, TVI and CVBS output modes. Compatible with virtually any modern DVR or XVR — including all Dahua Penta-brid XVRs and Hikvision Turbo HD DVRs.
IP67 WeatherproofFully sealed against dust ingress and water jets — rated for outdoor installation in all Australian weather conditions including coastal salt air, tropical rain and outback dust.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this camera work with my existing DVR?Yes — it is switchable between HDCVI, AHD, TVI and CVBS modes, making it compatible with virtually all modern DVRs and XVRs. For 5MP 16:9 output, your Dahua XVR must be on firmware V4.001.0000001.0.R.200908 or later. Pair it with a
Dahua WizSense XVR for best performance.
Does it need PoE?
No — this is an HDCVI analogue camera powered by DC 12V. A separate power cable is required alongside the coaxial video cable. It does not support PoE.
How far can the IR reach?
Up to 60 metres with Smart IR, which automatically adjusts intensity to prevent overexposure at close range.
Can I run this over long cable distances?
Yes — HDCVI supports up to 500m over RG59 coaxial cable, far exceeding the 100m limit of IP cameras over Cat6.
