DWC-XSCA05Bi

The Digital Watchdog DWC-XSCA05Bi is a 5MP MEGApix Ai corner-mount IP camera delivering ultra-wide coverage with edge-based AI analytics, Star-Light Plus low-light color, and 100ft Smart IR. Built with an IP67/IK10 vandal-resistant housing, it supports two-way audio, local edge storage, ONVIF, DW Spectrum, and NDAA/TAA compliance. 
Features
  • Eliminates Blind Spots in Corners - Ultra-wide 124° field of view and true corner-mount design provide wall-to-wall coverage from a single camera, reducing camera count and installation cost.
  • Clear, Actionable 5MP Video Evidence - 5MP resolution at real-time 30fps delivers sharp, detailed footage for identification and incident review.
  • Fewer False Alarms with AI Deep Learning - Edge-based AI analytics accurately detect people and behaviors, filtering out false motion events and improving response accuracy.
  • Color Video in Near-Total Darkness - Star-Light Plus™ technology captures usable color images in extremely low-light conditions, improving nighttime visibility and evidence quality.
  • Reliable Night Coverage Without Hotspots -100ft Smart IR™ automatically adjusts illumination to prevent overexposure and image washout at night.
  • Built to Withstand Vandalism and Harsh Environments IP67-rated weather sealing and IK10 impact resistance make it ideal for high-risk indoor and outdoor deployments.
  • Supports Proactive Audio Interaction Two-way audio with built-in microphone enables real-time communication, deterrence, and incident verification
  • Designed for High-Risk, High-Value Accounts - Vandal-resistant IP67/IK10 housing makes this camera ideal for schools, retail, healthcare, and detention—accounts that demand long-term managed contracts.
  • Lower Bandwidth and Storage Costs H.265/H.264/MJPEG triple-codec support and smart streaming optimize bandwidth without sacrificing image quality
  • Easy Integration and Long-Term Confidence - ONVIF compliance, native DW Spectrum support, NDAA/TAA compliance, and a 5-year warranty simplify deployment and future-proof investments.

Corner Installation

The camera mounts directly to a corner, providing a single-camera solution to monitor an entire room.

Ultra-Wide Angle, Zero Blind Spots

With a 124° ultra-wide-angle lens, the camera captures more area in a single frame, reducing the number of cameras needed for full coverage and lowering installation and maintenance costs.

Tamper Detection

The camera is designed for challenging environments, featuring intelligent tampering detection and an IP67, IK-10 impact-resistant housing.

Next Generation IR Technology

The camera’s IR LEDs are placed separately from the lens. The result is a clear B/W image in any lighting and weather conditions, with no IR reflection or IR hotspots.

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.
