Dahua Starlight cameras tackle low-light applications
As concerns around security in public spaces spread across the globe, public areas that are not covered by security guarding after hours are requiring reliable surveillance equipment to minimise crime rates at night and in poor lighting conditions.
Addressing this challenge, Dahua Technology has developed “Starlight Technology” with a comprehensive camera portfolio, including PTZ, IPC and HDCVI, to serve the various needs of lowlight environments.
Why choose Starlight cameras?
Compared to traditional video monitoring cameras, Dahua Starlight cameras feature high light sensitivity to provide a brighter view in lowlight environments and near complete darkness (0.009 lux). Offering clear images with rich details and ultrahigh definition from 1080P to 4K, the Starlight cameras guarantee 24/7 reliable and detailed monitoring of public places, such as parking lots, streets, campuses, malls, and more.
Added to this, the high colour reproduction and longer colour video period offered by the Starlight series maximises the probability of collecting valid human, vehicle, and event information for evidentiary purposes.
What makes Starlight perform?
Under same lighting conditions, a Starlight camera turns Black/White later and presents a brighter image with far more detail whereas a full-colour camera presents 24/7 colour image. From Value Starlight to Full-Colour, the Dahua Starlight family meets both entrylevel and high-end needs according to different lighting conditions.
While Value Starlight represents costefficient solutions for entry-level markets, Starlight, Starlight + and Full-Colour offer suitable solutions for common users, critical scenarios and the toughest environments respectively.
Behind Starlight’s great performance is Dahua Technology’s strong R&D ability and technological attention paid to all parts of the camera. The Starlight camera employs a high-performance sensor or large-sized sensor with 1/1.8” or even 4/3”inch dimension to present better light sensitivity.
Large aperture lenses – rather than conventional lenses – are utilised to present more vivid and brighter images under low-light environments. High performance DSP and advanced image processing properly balances noise reduction and smear suppression while retaining appreciable clarity, which better enhances the Starlight performance.
Last but not least, proper light compensation, including IR lighting (for
B/W image) or LED lighting (for fullcolour image) comes equipped together with Smart IR or Smart Light technology to present better night views while avoiding overexposure in totally dark environments.
All these advantages make Starlight Technology stand out. Dahua Technology’s complete Starlight product portfolio are ideal choices for customers who are looking for surveillance equipment with excellent performance for various low-light applications.
With its mission of “Enabling a Safer Society and Smarter Living”, Dahua Technology continues to focus on “Innovation, Quality and Service” to serve both partners and customers around the world.
