Dahua Technologies Comparison Guide

Technology	Core Focus	Key Features	Ideal For	Trade-offs
WizSense	Entry-to-mid-level AI with human/vehicle detection. Great balance of price and features.	Smart Motion Detection (SMD) 4.0 AI perimeter protection (tripwire, intrusion) False alarm reduction AI Coding for reduced storage use Some models with Full Colour / WizColor	Residential, small business, property perimeters.	Less advanced analytics than WizMind, limited ANPR/facial recognition.
WizMind	Enterprise-level AI with deep analytics, advanced metadata, and recognition features.	Facial recognition & face search People counting & heat maps ANPR & vehicle metadata Behavior analysis Privacy masking	Large retail, city surveillance, transport hubs, enterprises.	Higher cost, more complex setup, requires powerful NVR.
Full Colour / WizColor	24/7 colour imaging with dual-light or spotlight technology.	Always-on colour night vision Enhanced detail for faces, vehicles, signage Better evidence quality than IR	Driveways, storefronts, alleys, retail exteriors.	Needs ambient or supplemental light, may cost more than standard IR cameras.
TiOC (Three-in-One Camera)	Combines Full Colour + AI detection + active deterrence.	Built-in strobe light & siren Two-way audio (mic & speaker) AI people/vehicle detection 24/7 colour or dual-light imaging	High-risk areas needing deterrence (front doors, shops, perimeters).	Higher cost, more power usage, features may be excessive if deterrence isn’t required.
