The camera can automatically track detected human targets, mapping their motion path and instantly sending alerts to your smartphone through the DMSS app.

Smart Privacy and Control

When privacy is needed, the masking function allows users to lower or disable the camera via DMSS, ensuring sensitive areas remain private. The manual and auto on/off controls give flexibility to manage surveillance schedules easily.
