FAQ

Who should choose this box camera?

It is intended for security integrators and enterprise buyers designing traffic, parking, industrial, access-control or high-security systems. Its configurable lens mount, 50/60 fps video, extensive interfaces and multi-function analytics make it more suitable for engineered projects than ordinary fixed-lens surveillance installations.

Does the camera include a lens?

The camera uses a C/CS lens mount and supports DC-Iris and P-Iris control. DH-PFL1040-A12PE 10–40 mm lens as an optional accessory, so the required lens should be selected and ordered according to the project’s field of view, distance and lighting conditions.

Can all intelligent functions run simultaneously?

No. The datasheet states that two supported intelligent functions can operate at the same time and gives examples such as face recognition with people counting, face detection with people counting, and PPE detection with IVS. The required function combination should be verified during system design.

What ANPR capability does the camera provide?

ANPR supports plate recognition, tracking, priority and snapshots, together with vehicle type, color and other attributes. It can store up to 10,000 blocklist and 10,000 allowlist records and has a stated recognition speed of up to 60 km/h under suitable installation conditions.
