Dahua DH-SD6C3825GA-HNR-A-PV1 8MP 25x Starlight TiOC WizSense Network PTZ Camera

Dahua 8MP 25x Starlight TiOC WizSense Network PTZ Camera

The Dahua DH-SD6C3825GA-HNR-A-PV1 is a professional 8MP network PTZ camera from Dahua’s WizSense TiOC range. It combines high-resolution 4K video, 25x optical zoom, Starlight low-light performance, active deterrence and intelligent human/vehicle detection in one outdoor-rated PTZ camera.

This model is well suited to sites where a standard fixed camera is not enough. The PTZ function allows the camera to pan, tilt and zoom across large areas, while the 25x optical zoom provides close-up views of distant subjects. This makes it suitable for monitoring open yards, loading areas, car parks, perimeter fences, commercial buildings, warehouses, schools, factories and industrial facilities.

8MP 4K High-Resolution Imaging

The camera uses an 8MP 1/1.8″ CMOS sensor with a maximum resolution of 3840 × 2160, delivering detailed 4K video suitable for professional surveillance applications. This helps provide clearer image detail compared with lower-resolution PTZ cameras, especially when reviewing footage or zooming into recorded events.

25x Optical Zoom for Long-Distance Coverage

With a 5.4mm–135mm motorised lens and 25x optical zoom, the DH-SD6C3825GA-HNR-A-PV1 can capture both wide overview scenes and detailed close-up images. The lens provides a horizontal field of view from approximately 61.6° wide angle to 3.6° telephoto, allowing the camera to adapt to different monitoring requirements.

This makes it especially useful for large sites where the operator may need to identify activity at distance, such as vehicle movement, entry points, gates or perimeter areas.

Starlight Low-Light Performance

Dahua’s Starlight technology helps the camera produce usable colour images in very low-light environments. The camera is rated down to 0.001 lux in colour and 0.0001 lux in black and white, with 0 lux operation when the illuminators are active.

For night-time operation, the camera includes both up to 150m IR distance and up to 50m white light illumination, giving installers flexibility depending on whether discreet infrared monitoring or visible deterrent lighting is preferred.

TiOC Active Deterrence

As a TiOC model, this camera includes active deterrence features designed to help warn off intruders before an incident escalates. It includes red and blue warning lights, white light illumination and alarm sound functionality.

This is useful for locations where the system needs to do more than simply record footage. When correctly configured with compatible recording equipment and event rules, the camera can help provide a visible and audible warning when a human or vehicle target enters a protected area.

WizSense AI Detection

The DH-SD6C3825GA-HNR-A-PV1 supports Dahua WizSense intelligent functions, including human and vehicle classification, perimeter protection, face detection, SMD 4.0 and Auto Tracking 3.0.

Human and vehicle classification helps reduce false alarms caused by irrelevant motion such as animals, trees, shadows or general environmental movement. Auto Tracking 3.0 allows the PTZ camera to automatically follow a detected target, helping capture more useful footage of an event as it unfolds.

Outdoor-Rated PTZ Design

The camera is housed in an IP66-rated enclosure, making it suitable for outdoor installation when installed correctly. It also includes TVS 6000V lightning/surge protection, helping protect the camera in more demanding outdoor and industrial environments.

Power and Connectivity

The camera supports PoE+ / 802.3at, simplifying installation by allowing power and data over a single network cable when connected to a suitable PoE+ switch or injector. For best results, ensure your NVR, PoE switch and network design are suitable for PTZ camera bandwidth and power requirements.
