Dahua Technology USA Unveils Industry’s First Multi-Sensor Camera for Coaxial Infrastructure

  • Apr 05, 2017

Dahua Technology is bringing wide panoramic views to HD over coax solutions with a groundbreaking multi-sensor camera that cuts installation time, lowers costs, and reduces clutter for improved aesthetics. A leading manufacturer of video surveillance solutions proven the world over, Dahua has introduced the industry’s first 6MP camera to combine HDCVI 3.0 technology with a multi-sensor format.

The new HDCVI 3.0 6MP panoramic multi-sensor IR bullet camera houses three individual 2MP sensors in an all-in-one IP67 weather resistant indoor/outdoor housing. Providing the same coverage that would typically be provided by multiple standard cameras in the same setting, the multi-sensor minimizes maintenance, cabling and support costs, and installation time. With four BNC outputs, the camera delivers a single, stitched, 180-degree panoramic view without distortion, and can also display three individual HD views at the same time.

“As a pioneer in technologies designed to breathe new life into outdated coax cable systems, we’re excited to introduce this groundbreaking camera to the market,” said Jennifer Hackenburg, senior product marketing manager for Dahua USA. “By combining three 2MP sensors to create a comprehensive 180-degree overview, Dahua has once again offered a higher value to installers, saving as much as two-thirds installation time for an increased return on investment.”

Embedded with an IR cut filter for varying lighting conditions and 120dB of Wide Dynamic Range (WDR), the camera provides excellent images at any time of day. For challenging low-light applications, the HDCVI 3.0 Multi-Sensor IR Bullet camera offers Starlight technology, capturing color details in low light down to 0.007 lux, resulting in stunningly clear images in very dark environments. Each sensor features a 3.6mm fixed manual lens and an integrated infrared illuminator up to 20 meters (66 feet).

  • The Evolution of IP Camera Intelligence

    As the 30th anniversary of the IP camera approaches in 2026, it is worth reflecting on how far we have come. The first network camera, launched in 1996, delivered one frame every 17 seconds—not impressive by today’s standards, but groundbreaking at the time. It did something that no analog system could: transmit video over a standard IP network. Read Now

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
