Dahua Range Review
Dahua Technologies is a leading manufacturer of video surveillance products and solution provider. They have established an enduring reputation for IP cameras and represent exceptional value for a quality product. At Jim’s we consider Dahua to be one of best options for Home CCTV installations in most scenarios.
Why CHOOSE DAHUA?
Dahua is known for proven reliability, cutting-edge features such as AI analytics and full-colour night vision, and scalable solutions that suit everything from homes to large multi-site operations. When installed by Jim’s Security technicians, you also get professional setup, training, and ongoing local support.
Jim’s Security Offers the Following Dahua Packages
Dahua EZ‑IP (Entry-Level)
EZ-IP is Dahua’s entry-level IP camera range that delivers simple but effective surveillance at a very low cost. With features like Smart H.265+ compression, Smart IR night vision, and easy setup, these cameras are designed for basic surveillance only and lack the reliability and intelligence of higher Dahua ranges.
Best For: We do not recommend or install the EZ-IP range, as WizSense and above provide better long-term value, performance, and support.
Dahua WizSense (Most Popular)
WizSense cameras use AI-powered motion detection to recognise people and vehicles, reducing false alarms and giving you more accurate alerts. With perimeter protection tools like virtual tripwires and intrusion detection, these cameras provide smarter monitoring without the premium price tag.
Best For: Most Australian homes and small businesses looking for an affordable but intelligent camera solution.
Dahua Full Colour (WizColour)
WizSense cameras use AI-powered motion detection to recognise people and vehicles, reducing false alarms and giving you more accurate alerts. With perimeter protection tools like virtual tripwires and intrusion detection, these cameras provide smarter monitoring without the premium price tag.
Best For: Most Australian homes and small businesses looking for an affordable but intelligent camera solution.
Dahua TiOC (Three-in-One)
TiOC cameras combine flashing red/blue lights, a siren, and two-way audio to actively deter intruders while filtering events with built-in AI. The ability to speak directly through the camera makes it easy to challenge trespassers in real time, often preventing incidents before they happen.
Best For: Homes and small businesses in areas where active deterrence is important.
Dahua Duo Cameras
Duo cameras use two lenses to provide a seamless 180 degree panoramic view, supported by ePTZ digital zoom for flexible monitoring. By covering more space with fewer devices, they minimise blind spots and reduce installation costs while still capturing detailed, full-colour video.
Best For: Large open spaces such as warehouses, car parks, and retail floors.
Dahua PTZ Cameras
PTZ cameras can pan, tilt, and zoom to cover wide areas, while powerful optical zoom makes it possible to focus on details far away. Many models also include auto-tracking, following moving targets automatically so you don’t miss critical events.
Best For: Stadiums, public spaces, and large sites that require flexible monitoring from a single camera.
Dahua WizMind
WizMind cameras offer advanced AI capabilities such as face recognition, people counting, heat mapping, and behavioural analysis. These features provide powerful insights for security and operations, helping to improve crowd management, track visitor flow, and alert you to VIPs or blacklisted individuals.
Best For: High-security environments, large retail spaces, and transport hubs where analytics are just as important as surveillance.
Dahua ANPR Cameras
ANPR cameras* automatically capture and recognise number plates in any lighting conditions, and can be integrated with gates or barriers to manage vehicle access. This automation improves security while reducing the need for manual checks and keeping accurate entry and exit logs.
Best For: Car parks, logistics centres, gated communities, and toll points.
*We do not sell these but we can install
Dahua IP Intercoms
Dahua’s IP intercoms combine stylish indoor monitors with outdoor stations in either flush or doorbell-style units. They connect directly to your phone, letting you see and talk to visitors remotely, and integrate seamlessly with CCTV for full property awareness.
Best For: Residential front doors, apartment complexes, and commercial reception areas.
