DAHUA Picoo Dual D1 review: best dual lens

The DAHUA Picoo Dual D1 is our Best Dual Lens pick: two 3MP lenses, IP66 sealing, smart dual light, and two years of warranty, for around ₱3,000 as of August 11, 2026.

What does the second lens buy you?

The thing a single pan-tilt camera cannot do. One fixed wide lens holds the whole scene while the other pans and tilts to follow whatever is moving, and both record.

With one motorized camera you always lose something: track the person and the wider view swings away with it. Here you keep both, which for a gate and a yard in the same frame is exactly right.

What is smart dual light?

Two lighting modes and the sense to choose between them. Infrared is invisible and records in grey, so the camera stays discreet. Warm white LEDs record in full color and let an intruder know they have been seen.

Switching automatically means it does not floodlight your neighbor’s window all night, but it can when something actually happens.

Why does the warranty matter here?

Because of who makes it. DAHUA is a major professional CCTV manufacturer, not a consumer-electronics brand that added cameras, and the two year warranty reflects hardware built to run continuously. Most consumer brands in this ranking publish one year or say nothing.

Only TP-Link’s VIGI line beats it, at three years.

Where does it fall short?

Resolution and software. At 3MP per lens, the single-lens Xiaomi CW300 gives you 4MP at the same price. And DAHUA’s consumer app is the weakest here: functional, but nowhere near Tapo or Xiaomi Home for polish.

Two streams also fill a card roughly twice as fast, and no night-vision range is published.

Is it sulit?

Around ₱3,000 as of August 11, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. Across the two years the warranty actually covers, that is about ₱125 a month, for two lenses, IP66 and professional-grade hardware. Sulit, provided you care more about the hardware than the app.

Who should buy it

Buy this if you want proper CCTV hardware and a real warranty rather than a slick app, and one camera needs to cover a wide scene and a tracked subject at once. It is the right choice for a gate plus yard. If the phone experience matters most, buy a Tapo or the Xiaomi.

Alternatives to consider
