Overview

The Dahua Picoo A2 3MP Wireless Network PT Camera (DH-P3AE-PV) delivers advanced home and business surveillance with intelligent detection and real-time alerts. Designed for both indoor and outdoor use, this compact yet powerful camera ensures comprehensive monitoring across diverse Kenyan settings.

Design and Build Quality

The camera’s durable IP66-rated housing ensures reliable operation in rain, dust, and harsh weather conditions, making it ideal for outdoor installation. Its compact PT (Pan-Tilt) design enables 0°–345° horizontal and 0°–80° vertical coverage, significantly reducing blind spots and maximizing visibility in wide areas.

The device’s white, minimalist finish blends well with both residential and commercial setups, maintaining aesthetic appeal while providing high security.

Imaging and Video Performance

With a 3-megapixel resolution, the Picoo A2 captures crisp, detailed footage suitable for identifying faces and objects. It records Full-Color video using Smart Dual Illuminators, ensuring visibility even in low-light conditions without overexposure or color washout.

Users can rotate the camera’s image up to 180° for flexible installation options, and the Auto On/Off Control helps balance illumination levels efficiently.

AI and Smart Surveillance Features

Equipped with AI Human Detection, this Dahua camera intelligently identifies human movement, minimizing false alarms caused by animals or environmental motion.
The Smart Tracking feature automatically follows moving subjects within its range, providing continuous monitoring.

In the event of an intrusion, the camera activates sound and light warnings to deter trespassers, while instantly sending alerts to your mobile device via the DMSS app or other Dahua management software like Smart PSS, NVR, and ConfigTool.

Audio and Communication

The built-in microphone and speaker enable two-way audio, allowing users to speak directly to visitors, delivery personnel, or potential intruders through the camera. This makes it ideal for interactive monitoring of entrances, driveways, or business premises.

Connectivity and Storage

The Dahua Picoo A2 supports both RJ45 Ethernet and Wi-Fi connectivity, giving users flexibility in installation and network setup.
It also supports Micro SD cards up to 256GB and FTP upload, providing multiple storage options for local or cloud-based backup of important footage.

Applications and Use Cases

Perfect for homes, offices, shops, and outdoor compounds across Kenya, the Picoo A2 offers real-time security monitoring accessible from mobile devices anywhere. Its robust combination of AI detection, full-color recording, and reliable connectivity makes it suitable for users seeking intelligent and cost-effective surveillance.

Comparison: Dahua Picoo A2 vs Dahua Imou Cruiser 4MP

While both cameras feature pan-tilt capability and full-color night vision, the Dahua Picoo A2 offers AI Human Detection, Smart Tracking, and dual alarm deterrence, providing more active defense features than the Imou Cruiser 4MP, which focuses primarily on standard smart alerts. The Picoo A2 is thus better suited for users who want proactive security monitoring in Kenyan conditions.
