§ 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.

§ 04Why choose this
Built for the way you actually use the SD6CE445GB-HNR
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
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.
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.
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.
Earth against surge
Use the TVS 8000V rating with proper earthing on exposed mast and rooftop mounts to protect against lightning-induced spikes.

Recommended packages
Recorders and storage
Record to a Dahua NVR such as the 8-channel NVR4108HS-8P or 16-channel NVR4216-16P, fitted with an 8TB or 10TB surveillance hard drive for continuous PTZ footage.
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.
Mounting
Add a Dahua-compatible PTZ mount such as the PFB305W wall mount with a PFA121 junction box; confirm the bracket suits this PTZ weight.
