DWC-XFFA12Ai

This NDAA/TAA-compliant MEGApix Ai fisheye camera delivers 12MP complete 360° room coverage with built-in AI that detects, classifies and tracks people. It captures clear, detailed video even in very low light or high contrast environments, ensuring critical details are always visible.
The camera’s durable, weather and vandal-resistant design makes it a reliable choice for any environment, while smart bandwidth management helps optimize network performance. With two-way audio and seamless integration with any open-platform system, it provides powerful, efficient monitoring in a single easy-to-deploy device.

360° hemispheric and panoramic fisheye views at real-time 30fps

360° fisheye view IP cameras MEGApix® Pano™ 360° view fisheye cameras with IR monitor an entire room with a single camera, providing the ultimate ROI.

Next Generation IR Technology

The camera’s IR LEDs are placed separately from the lens, under a smoked dome. The result is a clear B/W image in any lighting and weather conditions, minimizing IR reflection and hotspots.

Complete situational awareness with a single camera

Fisheye cameras can cover complete room monitoring with situational awareness and a 360 hemispheric image that can be dewarped with minimal loss of pixels. The result is a more efficient way to monitor indoor spaces with one solution replacing multiple cameras.

Easy setup (no manual analytics calibration)

DW’s Ai allows operators to choose what to detect and where; with a user-friendly and straightforward UI, users can set up multiple scenarios specific to their monitoring needs without complex calibration.

Object Classification

DW's Ai software processes video streams to detect and classify every object appearing in the detection zone. Our AI-based engines perform object detection, automatically classifying the objects in the scene: people, cyclists, cars, buses and vans, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles and bags.

Ai Analytics Rules

DW Ai solutions include object and person detection, classification, and tracking, as well as specialty plugins for vehicle details detection and tracking.

AI-Based Analytics

DW’s Ai intelligent algorithms offer better object detection and identification of environmental elements. The result is a substantial reduction in false alarms for control room operators and security personnel. Allowing only valid events to filter through increases efficiency and productivity, and reduces unnecessary costs.

Star-Light Plus™ color in darkness technology

Star-Light Plus™ color in near-total darkness technology provides crisp, clear images in the absence of ambient light.
