Key Capabilities
8MP 4K Ultra-HD Resolution
Capturing footage at 3840 × 2160, this camera delivers exceptional image clarity for facial recognition, licence plate capture, and detailed evidence gathering — critical for retail, entry points, and high-traffic zones where identification matters.
AcuPick AI Detection
AcuPick technology uses AI to differentiate between humans, vehicles, animals, and foliage. This precision targeting reduces false alarms to under 2% and allows fast, accurate event search and playback — saving time during incident reviews.
Smart Dual Illumination
Automatically switches between infrared and warm white light based on scene conditions. This ensures full-colour video when needed and discreet IR imaging otherwise, optimising both visibility and power efficiency across the 30m illumination range.
Active Deterrence with Siren & Strobe
On detecting a person or vehicle, the camera triggers a red/blue strobe light and a 110dB wailing siren or recorded audio message. This proactive response discourages intruders before an incident escalates, making it ideal for unmanned sites.
Two-Way Audio Communication
The built-in microphone and speaker allow live two-way voice interaction via a mobile app. Whether addressing a visitor at the front door or issuing a verbal warning to a trespasser, remote communication is immediate and convenient.
IP67 & IK10 Rugged Housing
Rated IP67 for complete dust and water ingress protection and IK10 for resistance to physical impact, this turret camera withstands harsh outdoor conditions and deliberate tampering, ensuring long-term reliability in demanding environments.
Best For
- Retail Stores: 4K resolution and AcuPick detection help identify shoplifters and monitor customer behaviour, while two-way audio deters confrontational incidents in real time.
- Residential Driveways & Entryways: Full-colour night vision and two-way audio allow homeowners to see and speak with visitors at any hour, with active deterrence triggering on unauthorised approach.
- Warehouses & Industrial Sites: Smart perimeter monitoring with accurate human/vehicle detection and push alerts keeps large, partially unmanned sites secure after hours.
- Schools & Offices: After-hours active deterrence and AI-based alarm filtering provide a cost-effective security solution without requiring on-site personnel.
- Construction Sites: Rugged IP67/IK10 housing and mobile-app arming/disarming suit temporary deployments in remote or exposed outdoor locations.
Why Choose the DH-IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV-PRO-ANZ
Standard IP cameras record footage but do little to prevent incidents from occurring. The Dahua DH-IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV-PRO-ANZ goes well beyond passive recording by combining 4K resolution, AI-powered person and vehicle detection, full-colour night vision, and active deterrence in a single unit. Cheaper alternatives may offer basic motion detection, but they lack the precision of AcuPick AI, the proactive 110dB siren and strobe response, or the ability to communicate in real time via two-way audio. The smart dual illumination system further sets this camera apart by intelligently managing light modes to deliver crisp colour imagery when it counts, without unnecessary light pollution. For installers and end users looking for a camera that genuinely deters threats rather than simply documenting them, the value is clear. Security Wholesalers stocks this model as part of the Dahua TiOC 2.0 range, backed by local warranty and support.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: This camera supports both 12V DC and PoE power input. If you are adding it to an existing PoE NVR setup, no separate power supply is required — simply run a single Cat5e/Cat6 cable for both data and power, simplifying installation significantly.
Buyer Tip: The onboard MicroSD slot supports up to 256GB of local storage, which provides a useful backup recording layer in the event of network outages or NVR failure. Insert a card during installation to ensure continuous footage retention even if the network goes down.

Residential Driveways
Full-colour night vision and active deterrence provide homeowners with clear footage and immediate response capability at the driveway or front gate, day or night.
Warehouses & Logistics
Smart perimeter monitoring with human and vehicle detection triggers instant push alerts to mobile devices, keeping large unmanned facilities secure during off-hours without requiring guards on site.
Schools & Offices
After-hours active deterrence with siren and strobe discourages trespassers from entering school grounds or office car parks, reducing the risk of vandalism and break-ins without on-site intervention.
Construction Sites
The rugged IP67/IK10 housing, PoE connectivity, and mobile app arming make this camera well suited to temporary security deployments on active construction sites in exposed or remote locations.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need a single camera that combines 4K resolution, full-colour night vision, active deterrence (siren and strobe), AI-based human/vehicle detection, and two-way audio in a vandal-resistant, weatherproof housing for indoor or outdoor use.
- Choose a different model if: Your installation requires only passive recording without active deterrence features, or if budget constraints mean a simpler 2MP or 4MP camera without AI detection is sufficient for the coverage area.
FAQs
- What does AcuPick technology actually do?
AcuPick is Dahua’s AI-based target identification system that accurately distinguishes between humans and vehicles while filtering out irrelevant motion such as animals, foliage movement, and passing headlights. This reduces false alarms to under 2% and allows you to search recorded footage quickly by filtering events to specific target types — saving significant time during incident investigations. - Does this camera work in complete darkness?
Yes. The smart dual illumination system provides up to 30m of infrared night vision for discreet monitoring in complete darkness. When a target is detected, it can automatically switch to warm white light to deliver full-colour footage, giving you both covert and visible-light recording capability within the same unit. - Can I use this camera without an NVR?
Yes. The built-in MicroSD card slot supports up to 256GB of local storage, enabling standalone recording without a network video recorder. However, pairing the camera with a compatible Dahua WizSense NVR unlocks full AI search, event management, and multi-camera monitoring capabilities for a more complete security solution. - How loud is the built-in siren?
The active deterrence speaker reaches up to 110dB, which is comparable to a chainsaw or loud rock concert at close range. It can play a wailing siren tone, pre-recorded warning messages, or custom audio. This volume level is highly effective at startling and discouraging intruders, particularly in outdoor or semi-enclosed environments. - Is this camera compatible with third-party NVRs?
The DH-IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV-PRO-ANZ supports standard ONVIF protocol, which enables basic compatibility with many third-party NVR brands. However, advanced AI features such as AcuPick event search, SMD 4.0 alerts, and active deterrence scheduling are fully supported only when used with a compatible Dahua WizSense NVR. - Can I arm and disarm the active deterrence remotely?
Yes. The camera supports one-click arming and disarming via the alarm input, and remote control is also available through the Dahua mobile app. This allows you to schedule deterrence periods or manually activate/deactivate the siren and strobe based on your operational requirements without needing physical access to the camera. - Where can I purchase this camera in Australia?
The Dahua DH-IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV-PRO-ANZ is available through Security Wholesalers, an Australian supplier stocking the full Dahua TiOC 2.0 range with local warranty and support. Purchasing through an authorised local supplier ensures you receive the ANZ-specific firmware version and access to Australian after-sales service. - What power options does this camera support?
The camera supports both 12V DC and Power over Ethernet (PoE, IEEE 802.3af). PoE is the most convenient option for new installations, as a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable carries both data and power to the camera, eliminating the need for a separate power supply at the mounting point.
