Dahua DH-IPC-AW12W

Remote lens control

This compact IP video camera boasts not only a high HD resolution of 1280x720 (720p), but also support for Pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) functionality. That is, the model supports a very convenient ability to remotely rotate or tilt the lens in the desired direction, dynamically changing the field of view. There is also a zoom control that is required for all PTZ cameras. However with one caveat. Since the camera lens has a fixed focal length of 3.6 mm, the zoom is available exclusively digital. But PTZ-remote control capabilities are represented by a complete set: this is the choice of the desired viewpoint, and work in patrol mode, and automatic tracking of the object. At night, the camera turns on infrared illumination, covering a distance of 10 m - this allows you to shoot, albeit monochrome, but high-quality and well-detailed video, even in complete darkness.

No "dead zones"

Of course, video monitoring of a controlled area using PTZ cameras is more effective than with conventional cameras. Just imagine how much more convenient it is to use such a camera as a baby monitor: she will be able to follow a small child in the room, wherever he goes. While any ordinary stationary camera inevitably has "dead zones" that are not visible. Moreover, thanks to the work in the patrol mode with alternating viewpoints, one such camera can replace several conventional ones, and the owner will also benefit in the cost of the purchased equipment. By the way, this model supports up to 10 simultaneous user connections, so that all grandparents who wish can remotely monitor the child.

Built-in microphone and speakers

The camera has the ability to capture and play audio thanks to the built-in microphone and speaker. With this camera, a real "presence effect" is provided, even if you are away from home - you have complete visual control of the territory and can communicate with people who are there. This can be relevant not only at home, but also in the office, when a manager who is on a business trip can remotely monitor the work of staff and even communicate with employees.

Easy to install

The ease of self-installation and the ease of controlling the camera from a computer or through a mobile application also add to its pluses. The camera is connected to the network via Wi-Fi or a twisted-pair cable through a standard Ethernet network port. At the same time, the camera can record video not only to an external drive available over the network, but also to a microSD memory card.

It remains to be added that this smart camera is made in a beautiful and durable plastic case with an original "home" design, and the model is intended exclusively for indoor use.
