Go Beyond Viewing & Recording with Xvision ACTIVE DEFENCE Cameras
The Xvision X6C8000BM550-IK-W combines an 8MP/4K sensor with a motorised 10x optical zoom, so faces and number plates can be identified at long range rather than merely recorded. Powered by Xvision's Deep Learning AI chipset and housed in an IK10 impact-rated, IP67 body, it is specified for the positions where the camera itself is a target: car parks, forecourts, yards, perimeters and unsupervised public areas.
With integrated Active Defence, a siren and two-way audio, this camera does not just watch a site — it challenges people on it.
Active Defence – AI-Powered Intruder Deterrent
The X6C8000BM550-IK-W actively protects the premises using integrated deterrent lighting, a siren, a speaker and a microphone, acting as an intelligent security guard:
Auto Defence Mode:
-
Instant Visual Deterrent:
Automatically activates deterrent lighting the moment an intruder is detected.
-
Audible Warnings:
Simultaneously triggers the siren, a pre-recorded message, or a custom voice warning.
-
Real-Time Alerts:
Immediately notifies you via the Xvision mobile app (iOS/Android) or desktop software (Windows/OSX), allowing instant live viewing.
Manual Defence Mode:
-
Instant Notification:
Sends immediate alerts to your mobile or desktop device, enabling live viewing.
-
Two-Way Audio:
Communicate directly with intruders to determine their intentions.
-
Manual Control:
Optionally trigger the deterrent lighting, siren or audio warnings as needed.
Exceptional Image Quality & Long-Range Detail
-
8MP / 4K Imaging Sensor:
Records at 25fps in 8MP, delivering 400% more detail than a 2MP (1080p) camera and over 60% more than a 5MP camera. At full zoom, that extra resolution is what turns a distant figure into a usable identification. Selectable 8MP, 5MP, 4MP and 2MP modes at 25fps let you balance detail against storage.
-
Motorised 10x Zoom Lens (5.0–50mm, 4.0°–49.0° Viewing Angle):
A motorised autofocus zoom takes you from a 49° wide scene down to an extremely narrow 4°, framing precisely on entrances, gates, loading bays or parking bays without moving the camera. Zoom and focus are set remotely from the NVR, app or VMS — no ladder, no second visit.
-
Starlight Super Low Light Sensor:
Captures clear colour images in light levels as low as 0.009 Lux, holding usable colour long after a standard sensor has given up.
-
120 dB Wide Dynamic Range:
Balances bright and dark areas within the same frame — essential on entrances, shutter doors, and anywhere a subject is backlit.
Dual Illumination – 80m Smart IR and 25m White Light
-
80m Smart IR Night Vision:
Provides even, clear night-time visibility to 80 metres. Smart IR modulates infrared intensity dynamically to stop close subjects blowing out, so faces stay readable instead of turning into white shapes.
-
25m White Light for Full Colour at Night:
Integrated white light delivers full-colour images to 25 metres after dark — the difference between "a person in dark clothing" and a description an officer can act on. It also doubles as a security floodlight, and works alongside Active Defence as a visual deterrent.

Premium Residential Applications (click to view)
-
Number Plate Recognition (ANPR):
With 10x zoom on a long driveway or approach road, plates are read at distance and in real time, so unknown or suspicious vehicles are flagged the moment they arrive rather than after the event.
-
Face Recognition:
The camera recognises familiar faces, securely storing and categorising them as family, friends, or unknown visitors in the NVR. You'll receive instant notifications on your mobile device, tablet, or PC, along with snapshot images whenever someone approaches the property. Ideal for alerting you when strangers approach, or confirming family have arrived safely.
-
Human & Vehicle Detection:
Unlike traditional motion detection, which can trigger false alerts from animals, moving trees, or weather, this feature specifically identifies humans or vehicles. Set custom detection areas (up to four zones) or monitor the entire scene, receiving instant alerts with snapshot images sent to your smartphone or computer.
-
Line Crossing Detection:
Set virtual boundaries across access points, driveways or open boundaries with no physical fence. You receive alerts and snapshot notifications the moment someone crosses them.
-
Perimeter Detection:
Create up to four customised virtual perimeters around critical or sensitive areas such as pools, gardens, garaging or outbuildings, with immediate alerts and snapshots if someone enters or leaves those zones.
-
Loud Sound Detection:
The camera detects loud or unusual sounds such as breaking glass, shouting, or alarms, instantly alerting you with notifications and snapshots — critical early warning of an incident developing.
Commercial Applications (click to view)
-
Number Plate Recognition (ANPR):
Automatically recognises and records vehicle number plates across car parks, gated entrances and service yards. Tag vehicles as trusted, suspicious or unknown, triggering immediate alerts when unauthorised vehicles arrive. The 10x zoom makes plate capture practical at entry points a fixed-lens camera could not reach.
-
Face Recognition:
Identifies and distinguishes VIP guests, regular customers, and known security risks on entry, so staff can respond with personalised service or immediate security measures. Suited to retail, hotels and private members' clubs.
-
Face Attributes:
Identifies and analyses attributes such as age, gender, expression and accessories (glasses, hats, masks), providing customer insight and strengthening access control, with instant notifications and snapshot alerts.
-
Human & Vehicle Detection:
Accurately detects humans or vehicles, dramatically reducing false alarms from irrelevant movement such as animals or weather. Designate up to four custom detection zones or monitor the entire area.
-
Line Crossing:
Establish virtual boundaries around restricted or sensitive areas — stockrooms, cash offices, plant rooms or executive spaces — with instant alerts when they are breached.
-
Perimeter Detection:
Draw up to four perimeter zones around warehouses, loading docks, compounds or restricted storage, alerting the security team immediately when unauthorised access occurs.
-
Loud Sound Detection:
Immediately alerts staff or security personnel to loud, unusual sounds such as glass breaking, shouting, alarms, or disturbances, allowing rapid response to emergencies or security incidents.
-
Stationary Object Detection:
Flags objects that have been left or removed within the scene, supporting both abandoned-item and asset-removal monitoring.
-
Queue Length Detection:
Monitors queues in real time and notifies staff when lengths exceed a set threshold, allowing staff deployment to be managed and waiting times reduced.
-
Heat Mapping:
Generates visual heat maps showing where people spend the most time within the premises — useful for optimising layout, product placement and staffing.
-
Crowd Density Detection:
Monitors real-time crowd levels and alerts management the moment density thresholds are exceeded, supporting visitor safety at events, in hospitality and in busy retail.
-
Cross Counting:
Automatically counts people or vehicles crossing predefined zones or entry points, providing data to inform staffing, operations and resource allocation.
Integrated Audio and Alarm Interfacing
-
Two-Way Audio:
An integrated microphone and speaker capture ambient sound alongside video and allow live challenge from the app or VMS. Audio provides context that visual evidence alone cannot — voices, raised tempers, breaking glass — and can be monitored live or on playback from the Xvision apps and Windows/OSX software.
-
Audio Input and Output:
Additional connections for an external microphone and external speaker or public address, for larger sites and longer-throw announcements.
-
Alarm Input and Output:
Interface the camera with an intruder panel, beam, or gate controller. Alarm inputs can trigger recording, AI events or Active Defence; alarm outputs let AI events drive external devices such as lighting, sounders or barriers.
Built for Hostile Positions — IK10 and IP67
