Series Overview:

The Active Defense series of small PT cameras raises the bar on performance. After detecting an intrusion, it triggers sound and light alarms, and then instantly relays vital information on the intrusion to the mobile client, keeping you informed no matter where you are. It supports two-way talk, allowing you to communicate with people in front of the camera in real time.It also can record full-color videos and information of key events using Smart Dual Illuminators, effectively reducing light pollution.

The Dahua P3AE-PV is a 3MP Wireless Network PT Camera from the Active Defense series.

How 3MP Wireless Network PT Camera Performs Night Vision?

1. IR Lights: These are standard infrared lights that allow the camera to capture images in complete darkness. They emit invisible infrared light, which the camera’s sensor can detect. The effective range of IR illumination depends on the specific camera model, but it typically extends up to several meters.

2. Warm Lights: Unlike traditional IR lights, warm lights emit visible light in a warm color spectrum (similar to incandescent bulbs). These warm lights serve two purposes:

   • Illumination: They provide visible light to enhance image quality in low-light conditions. Warm lights can help improve color accuracy and reduce noise.
   • Active Deterrence: The P3AE-PV camera uses warm lights as part of its active deterrence feature. When motion is detected, the camera can activate the warm lights to warn intruders or draw attention to the area.

3. Human Detection (SMD 3.0): The camera’s smart event detection includes human detection. When a person enters the camera’s field of view, it triggers relevant alerts, including activating the warm lights if configured.
