Dahua DH-SD3E405DB-GNY-A-PV1 4MP 5× TiOC WizSense PTZ Camera | Active Deterrence
Dahua DH-SD3E405DB-GNY-A-PV1 — 4MP 5× TiOC WizSense Mini PTZ Camera with Active Deterrence
The Dahua DH-SD3E405DB-GNY-A-PV1 is a compact 4MP TiOC WizSense PTZ network camera designed for flexible surveillance and active perimeter protection in residential and commercial environments. It combines 5× optical zoom, intelligent human and vehicle detection, Smart Motion Detection 3.0, and active deterrence in a compact PTZ design.
The camera features a 1/2.8" CMOS sensor delivering up to 4MP (2560 × 1440) resolution at 25/30 fps. Its motorised 2.7–13.5 mm lens provides 5× optical zoom, allowing users to move from wide-area monitoring to closer views of subjects and activity.
For night surveillance, the camera combines 50 m IR illumination with 30 m warm-light illumination, helping maintain visibility in low-light environments. The Smart Dual Light system can use IR for discreet monitoring and activate warm light when additional colour detail is required.
The camera also provides TiOC active deterrence, including red and blue warning lights, customisable voice alerts and two-way audio through the built-in microphone and speaker. With SMD 3.0 and human/vehicle classification, it can help reduce unnecessary alarms caused by non-target movement.

Intelligent Security & Monitoring
The DH-SD3E405DB-GNY-A-PV1 combines PTZ surveillance with Dahua's WizSense intelligent detection technology. Human and vehicle classification helps focus security events on relevant targets, while SMD 3.0 helps minimise false alarms.
The camera's Auto Tracking Lite capability can automatically follow suitable targets, while its PTZ controls, presets and tours allow installers to configure the camera for automated coverage of larger areas.
Active Deterrence & Night Vision
The integrated TiOC active deterrence system adds an additional layer of protection beyond video recording. When configured for security events, the camera can use its red and blue warning lights and audible alerts to discourage unwanted activity.
For night-time surveillance, 50 m IR illumination provides discreet infrared monitoring, while the 30 m warm light can provide additional colour illumination when required.
PTZ & Optical Zoom
With a 2.7–13.5 mm motorised lens and 5× optical zoom, the camera provides greater framing flexibility than a conventional fixed-lens security camera. The 355° pan and –15° to +90° tilt range allows one camera to monitor multiple areas from a single mounting location.
The camera supports 300 presets and 8 tours, making it suitable for programmed patrols and repeatable surveillance routes.
