Introducing the WizSense 3X66 6MP Eyeball/Turret Camera

The industry’s favourite mid-range camera, the 3641 6MP Eyeball/Turret Camera from Dahua Technology, has now been superseded by the WizSense 3X66 6MP Eyeball/Turret Camera. This new camera offers installers a sizeable upgrade in terms of functionality whilst retaining the affordability of its predecessor.?

In this article we will discuss some of the exciting new features available in the WizSense 3X66 series including Smart Motion Detection 4.0 (SMD 4.0), Quick Pick search targeting and Artificial Intelligence Scene Self-Adaption (AI SSA).?

Forget false alarms with Smart Motion Detection 4.0?

The 3X66 series features Dahua’s fourth generation smart motion detection function – SMD 4.0. This is a huge jump for installers making the switch from the 3641 cameras, which featured the SMD Plus, a technology that was superseded by SMD 3.0 back in 2020.?

So, what’s so great about SMD 4.0? In short, this upgrade is all about accuracy.?

Like SMD Plus, the primary function of SMD 4.0 is to accurately detect human and vehicle targets. This new iteration of SMD improves the accuracy via the use of a new deep learning algorithm to filter out irrelevant targets at a higher accuracy than ever before.?

Out of the box, the 3X66 is optimized to filter out irrelevant targets, such as small and large animals, to help reduce the incidence rate of false alarms.?

Some impressive stats around the accuracy include:?

• Human/vehicle detection accurate up to 99% of the time.?
• Large animal false alarm rate of less than 2% of the time.?
• Small animal false alarm rate of less than 0.5% time.?

By comparison, SMD Plus featured an accuracy rate of only 95% and did not have the advanced functionality to support optimised filtering of irrelevant targets.?

The key takeaway? With SMD 4.0, installers and end user can confidently expect a lower incident rate of false alarms in systems using the new 3X66 6MP Turret Camera.

Create a targeted search with the new Quick Pick function?

The new Quick Pick function enables users to quickly refine human or vehicle targets based on useful identification information. System operators can use the Quick Pick function during or after an event to quickly review all footage related to a human or vehicle target of interest, based on the colour of their clothing or vehicle.?

Seasoned professionals will recognise the significance Quick Pick as an out-of-the-box feature for a mid-range camera. Until recently, video analytics capabilities such as this were reserved for high-end systems, and generally required the integration of expensive, third-party analytics to a video management system (VMS).?

Quick Pick targeted search transforms surveillance footage into valuable insights that can be used for data driven decision making. It also saves time, as system operators can now automate the once time-consuming and laborious task of footage analysis and review.?

As exciting as the Quick Pick function is, installers should be aware that it is only available on systems that feature an AI enabled recorder.?

Enjoy quality images with Artificial Intelligence Scene Self-adaptation?

Not only can the new Artificial Intelligence Scene Self-adaption (AI SSA) monitor a scene for changes in the conditions, but it can also adjust the image parameters to optimise the image quality based on the conditions identified.?

The AI SSA can identify multiple challenging scene condition such as rain, snow, fog, backlight, and flicker. Based on the scene condition identified, the AI SSA will adjust image parameters, such as exposure and lightness, to capture the highest quality images given the identified scene conditions.?

With AI SSA, installers no longer need to worry about complicated image parameter configuration. Simply select SSA from the Image Parameters section during configuration and the camera will automatically adjust to suit challenging indoor and outdoor conditions.?

Final thoughts?

The 3X66 6MP Eyeball/Turret Camera offers users advanced analytic and detection capabilities that have not previously been seen in a mid-range camera. Matched with a highly affordable price point, this camera is sure to become the new go-to for installers across a wide-range of applications.?
