Intelligence
The IVS features are operational only when the additional IP channel feature is not active.
The HDCVI DVR supports only IVS or the additional IP channel inputs, both features
cannot be in use simultaneously.
IVS triggers an alarm and takes a defined action for the following events:
Premium Features
HDCVI DVR supports IVS features on only two (2) channels simultaneously. Each channel
supports up to ten (10) IVS rules.
Tripwire A target crosses a user-defined line.
Intrusion A target enters or exits a defined perimeter.
Abandoned/Missing
Object
A target leaves an object in designated area, or a target
removes an object from the same designated area.

1. The DORI distance is a measure of the general proximity for a specific classification to help pinpoint the right
camera for your needs. The DORI distance is calculated based on sensor specifications and lab test results
according to EN 62676-4 , the standard that defines the criteria for the Detect, Observe, Recognize and
Identify classifications.
2. Transmission distance results verified by real-scene testing in Dahua's test laboratory. Actual transmission
distances may vary due to external influences, cable quality, and wiring structures.
3. The M-N resolution refers to technology that allows a 1080p HDCVI DVR to accept a video signal from a 5 MP
or a 4 MP camera by sampling every other pixel on a horizontal line from the camera. The resulting recording
resolutions are: 5 M-N: 1296 x 1944; 4 M-N: 1280 x 1440.
