§ 01Overview

What the SD6CE445GB-HNR is

The Dahua SD6CE445GB-HNR is a 4MP network PTZ camera built for wide-area monitoring, combining a 45x optical zoom (3.95-177.75mm) with Starlight low-light imaging and IR to 250m.

Auto-Tracking 3.0 with linkage tracking lets the camera follow a detected subject across a 360-degree endless pan, while SMD 4.0, Quick Pick and perimeter protection classify humans and vehicles to reduce nuisance alerts.

Its DORI range identifies detail at long distance, and an IP67 and IK10 housing with TVS 8000V surge protection, rated from -40C to +70C, suits exposed masts, rooftops and industrial perimeters.

It powers from PoE+ or 24V DC and stores up to 512GB on microSD.

What the SD6CE445GB-HNR features actually look like

Representative illustrations of how each key feature performs in a real scene.

4MP Ultra HD

4MP captures roughly twice the detail of standard 1080p.

Human/Vehicle Detection

Smart detection focuses on people and vehicles and can ignore things like swaying branches, rain or small animals — helping cut down false alerts and making the right moments easier to find.

IP67 Weatherproof

Sealed against dust and water to IP67, built to keep working through rain, storms and harsh sun — suitable for fully outdoor mounting.

§ 04Why choose this

Built for the way you actually use the SD6CE445GB-HNR

Long-range coverage from one mount

A 45x optical zoom and 360 endless pan let one PTZ cover a whole perimeter and zoom into distant detail, reducing the number of fixed cameras a large site needs.

Acts on alerts, not just records

Auto-Tracking 3.0 and linkage tracking point and follow the camera the moment a perimeter rule fires, turning it into an active monitoring tool.

Clear footage after dark

Starlight imaging and 250m IR with adaptive Smart IR keep distant detail usable along fence lines and open yards in near-dark conditions.

Built for exposed sites

IP67, IK10 and TVS 8000V surge protection across a -40C to +70C range suit masts, rooftops and industrial perimeters where weather and electrical transients are constant.

§ 05Where it fits

Right at home in these scenarios

Large outdoor perimeters

The 45x zoom and endless pan cover fence lines, boundary walls and open yards from one elevated mount, cutting the number of camera positions needed.

Sites with limited monitoring staff

Auto-Tracking 3.0 follows a detected subject without operator input, suiting locations where live monitoring is limited or intermittent.

Ports, logistics and utilities

Multi-rule perimeter analytics from fence climbing to loitering suit complex industrial and critical-infrastructure sites.

Exposed coastal and industrial sites

TVS 8000V protection and a -40C to +70C range suit harsh outdoor installations where standard PTZ units need extra protection.

§ 06Setup

Installation & setup

01

Use a PoE+ or 24V DC source

Power from an 802.3at PoE+ switch or injector, or a 24V DC, 2.5A supply, rated for the full 25W draw. A 15.4W 802.3af port will not run this camera reliably.

02

Mount on a pole, wall or pendant

At around 5.9kg it needs solid mounting hardware. Use a Dahua-compatible PTZ bracket and junction box rated for the weight; confirm fit before installing.

03

Set tracking and presets

Configure perimeter tripwire and intrusion rules with linkage tracking, and map presets, tours and scans for the site, allowing for blind spots created by structures or terrain.

04

Earth against surge

Use the TVS 8000V rating with proper earthing on exposed mast and rooftop mounts to protect against lightning-induced spikes.

§ 07Questions

Frequently asked about the SD6CE445GB-HNR

Q.01

What power does the SD6CE445GB-HNR need?

It draws up to 25W and needs PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) or a 24V DC, 2.5A supply. Standard 802.3af PoE is not sufficient, particularly during pan and tilt when current peaks. Confirm your switch or injector supplies 802.3at on the connected port before installing.
Q.02

How far can it see and identify detail?

The 45x optical zoom gives a long DORI range, identifying detail at roughly 245m and detecting activity much further. Combined with 250m IR, it suits perimeters and open sites where a fixed camera cannot resolve distant detail.
Q.03

How does Auto-Tracking 3.0 work?

When a perimeter rule such as tripwire or intrusion is triggered, linkage tracking automatically points the camera at the target and follows it with pan, tilt and zoom, so it tracks a subject without an operator at the controls.
Q.04

Does the IR adjust as I zoom?

Yes. Smart IR concentrates and adjusts the infrared as the lens zooms toward 45x, preventing overexposure at wide angle and keeping distant subjects lit at full zoom.
Q.05

Does it have a microphone or speaker?

No. It provides line audio in and out for external devices, but it has no built-in microphone or speaker, so audio needs external hardware if required.
Q.06

What does Quick Pick and SMD 4.0 add?

SMD 4.0 classifies motion as human or vehicle before alerting, and Quick Pick, with an AI NVR, helps operators quickly pick out human and vehicle targets from events, cutting the volume of footage to review.
Q.07

Is it protected against weather and lightning?

Yes. It is IP67 against dust and water, IK10 against impact, and carries TVS 8000V surge protection, rated from -40C to +70C, suiting exposed poles and rooftops when properly earthed.
Q.08

Does it work with Dahua NVRs and software?

Yes. It works with Dahua NVRs and DSS over Dahua protocol and ONVIF Profile S, G and T. PTZ presets, tours and rule-triggered tracking are accessible on compatible Dahua platforms; confirm your NVR supports PTZ control.

§ 09Bundles

Recommended packages

02

PoE+ power

Power from an 802.3at source such as the Dahua PoE switch (confirm the port supplies PoE+ at up to 25W) and run quality Cat6 cable to the head, or use a 24V DC supply.
