Product SKU: DH-IPC-HFW3867E-AS-IL-ANZ
Product Overview
The Dahua DH-IPC-HFW3867E-AS-IL-ANZ is an 8MP WizSense bullet network camera designed for detailed outdoor and indoor monitoring where directional coverage, intelligent event filtering and flexible night illumination are required. Available with a 2.8mm or 3.6mm fixed lens, it can be selected for either a wide scene or a narrower view with greater pixel concentration on more distant subjects. Smart Dual Light combines infrared and warm-light illumination, with both light types rated for up to 30 metres. Human and motor-vehicle classification is available for tripwire and intrusion rules, while SMD 4.0 helps refine motion events. The camera also supports AcuPick with compatible back-end devices, a built-in microphone, audio and alarm connections, microSD storage up to 512GB, 12V DC or PoE power, and an IP67-rated metal housing. It suits homes, retail sites, warehouses, car parks and building perimeters that need 4K fixed coverage without motorised zoom.
Key Capabilities
8MP 4K Image Detail
Records up to 3840 × 2160 at 25/30 fps, providing detailed fixed coverage for entrances, driveways, shopfronts, loading areas and other positions where clear overview footage matters.
Smart Dual Light
Built-in infrared and warm-light illumination each reach up to 30 metres. This gives installers more flexibility when balancing discreet night monitoring with visible light and colour detail.
WizSense Event Filtering
Tripwire and intrusion rules classify people and motor vehicles, while SMD 4.0 helps make motion events more relevant. AcuPick is supported with compatible back-end devices for faster target searches.
Choice of Fixed Lens
The 2.8mm version provides a wider 110° horizontal view, while the 3.6mm option narrows coverage to 86° and places more pixels on subjects further into the scene.
Audio and Alarm Integration
A built-in microphone captures scene audio. Separate RCA audio input and output connections, plus one alarm input and one alarm output, support broader professional system designs.
PoE, Edge Storage and IP67
Standard PoE simplifies cabling, a microSD card up to 512GB supports local recording, and the metal IP67 housing is designed for demanding indoor or outdoor camera positions.
Best For
- Driveways and Entry Lanes: Provides detailed fixed coverage with a choice of wide or narrower lens options and human or vehicle event classification.
- Shopfronts and Commercial Exteriors: Combines 8MP recording, audio capture, Smart Dual Light and IP67 protection for visible perimeter monitoring.
- Warehouses and Loading Areas: Suits roller doors, loading docks, delivery approaches and external walls where a bullet camera can be aimed along a defined direction.
- Car Parks and Building Perimeters: Supports tripwire, intrusion and SMD 4.0 rules for more targeted monitoring of people and vehicles.
- PoE Camera Upgrades: Works well when replacing or expanding a compatible network camera system that requires 4K resolution, edge storage and ONVIF support.
Why Choose the DH-IPC-HFW3867E-AS-IL-ANZ
The DH-IPC-HFW3867E-AS-IL-ANZ is a practical step up from a basic 8MP fixed camera because it combines detailed 4K recording with selectable lens coverage, Smart Dual Light, WizSense event filtering and professional audio, alarm and storage connections. The 2.8mm and 3.6mm versions let buyers match the camera to the scene rather than accepting one viewing angle for every location. Its built-in microphone records scene audio, while SMD 4.0 and classified tripwire or intrusion events can make playback and notifications more useful than standard pixel-based motion alone. Supplied by Security Wholesalers, this model suits buyers who want a visible outdoor bullet camera with PoE and local storage capability. It does not have a motorised varifocal lens or built-in speaker, so choose another camera type when remote optical adjustment or self-contained talk-back audio is essential.
Buyer Decision Tips
Lens Tip: Select 2.8mm for wider coverage close to the camera. Select 3.6mm for a narrower scene with more pixel density on subjects positioned further away. The lens is fixed and cannot be remotely zoomed after installation.
Lighting Tip: Both infrared and warm-light ranges are rated to 30 metres, but reflective walls, eaves, signs and nearby objects can reduce usable night detail. Position and aim the camera so its illuminators are not reflected directly back into the lens.

FAQs
- Should I choose the 2.8mm or 3.6mm lens for the DH-IPC-HFW3867E-AS-IL-ANZ?
Choose the 2.8mm version of the DH-IPC-HFW3867E-AS-IL-ANZ when you need a wider scene, such as a driveway, shopfront, loading area or building perimeter. It provides a 110° horizontal field of view. Choose the 3.6mm version when you prefer a narrower 86° horizontal view that places more image detail on subjects further into the scene. Confirm the required lens variant before ordering because this is a fixed-lens camera.
- How does Smart Dual Light work on this Dahua bullet camera?
The DH-IPC-HFW3867E-AS-IL-ANZ includes both infrared and warm-light illumination, with each light type rated for up to 30 metres. Smart Dual Light gives the system flexibility to use discreet infrared monitoring or visible warm light according to the configured lighting mode and event settings. Actual night performance depends on the scene, mounting angle, nearby surfaces and available ambient light, so the camera should be positioned to minimise reflections and glare.
- Does the DH-IPC-HFW3867E-AS-IL-ANZ distinguish people and vehicles?
Yes. The DH-IPC-HFW3867E-AS-IL-ANZ supports tripwire and intrusion rules with human and motor-vehicle classification, together with SMD 4.0 for more useful motion-event filtering. It also supports AcuPick when used with compatible back-end devices, helping operators locate people or vehicles in live and recorded video. Correct camera positioning and rule configuration are important for dependable results.
- Does this camera have a microphone or two-way audio?
The DH-IPC-HFW3867E-AS-IL-ANZ has a built-in microphone for capturing audio with video. It also provides one RCA audio input and one RCA audio output for supported external audio equipment. The camera does not list a built-in speaker, so it should not be treated as a self-contained two-way audio camera. Confirm the recorder, external speaker and installation requirements when talk-back communication is needed.
- Can the DH-IPC-HFW3867E-AS-IL-ANZ record without an NVR?
Yes. The DH-IPC-HFW3867E-AS-IL-ANZ supports a microSD card with a capacity of up to 512GB for edge recording, and it can also use FTP, SFTP or NAS storage. A memory card is not stated as included. For multi-camera recording, centralised playback and longer retention, a compatible NVR is generally the more practical system design.
- Is this bullet camera suitable for outdoor installation?
Yes. The DH-IPC-HFW3867E-AS-IL-ANZ has an IP67-rated metal housing and an operating temperature range of –40 °C to +60 °C, making it suitable for exposed outdoor positions when installed correctly. Cable joins and network terminations still need appropriate weather protection. Security Wholesalers can help buyers check the lens choice, mounting position and recorder requirements before installation.
- Does the DH-IPC-HFW3867E-AS-IL-ANZ support PoE and ONVIF?
Yes. The DH-IPC-HFW3867E-AS-IL-ANZ can be powered by 12V DC or standard 802.3af PoE, allowing power and network data to share one Ethernet cable when connected to a suitable PoE switch or NVR. It supports ONVIF Profiles S, G, T and M, plus CGI. Feature availability can vary between third-party systems, so important analytics, audio and event functions should be confirmed with the selected recorder or software.
- When is a bullet camera a better choice than a turret camera?
A bullet camera is useful when the visible direction of coverage helps deter unwanted activity and when the mounting arm makes it easier to aim along driveways, fences, loading zones or building edges. Choose the DH-IPC-HFW3867E-AS-IL-ANZ for directional 8MP coverage with Smart Dual Light and WizSense filtering. A turret-style camera may suit lower-profile installations or areas where a more compact shape is preferred.
