Product SKU: DHI-ART-ARC3800H-06-FW2
Product Overview
The Dahua DHI-ART-ARC3800H-06-FW2 is a complete wireless alarm starter kit for homes, offices, retail stores and small commercial properties requiring motion detection, local sirens and remote alarm communication. The package combines the ARC3800H-FW2 Alarm Hub 2 with three pet-immune PIR detectors, a four-button keyfob, a powerful indoor siren and an IP65 outdoor siren with alarm LEDs. The hub supports Ethernet, 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and compatible cellular communication, helping maintain alarm connectivity when more than one network path is configured. Up to eight supported IP-camera channels can be linked for alarm-video upload, while app control, voice calls, SMS alerts and scheduled arming expand the management options. The system supports up to 150 wireless peripherals, allowing additional compatible contacts, keypads, sirens, repeaters and detection devices to be added later.
System Capabilities
Complete Multi-Zone Starter Kit
The package combines the alarm hub, three indoor PIR motion detectors, a four-button keyfob and both indoor and outdoor sirens for a practical residential or small-business starting system.
Ethernet, Wi-Fi and 4G Connectivity
Multi-network communication gives the hub several paths for app events, alarm reporting and remote management, with dual SIM support and one cellular card active at a time.
Expandable 150-Peripheral Platform
The hub supports up to 150 wireless peripherals within its device-category limits, allowing compatible keypads, contacts, repeaters, sirens and detection devices to be added later.
12m Pet-Immune PIR Detection
Each included motion detector covers up to 12 metres across 90°, offers three sensitivity levels and supports pet immunity for animals weighing up to 18kg.
Indoor and IP65 Outdoor Alerts
The internal siren provides strong local sound, while the external siren combines an audible alarm, 12 LED groups and IP65 environmental protection for visible external notification.
Camera Video Verification Support
Up to eight compatible IP-camera channels can be linked for alarm-video upload, while supported PIR-camera devices can be added separately for image-based verification.
Best For
- Homes and Townhouses: Provides three motion-detection zones, indoor and outdoor sirens, keyfob control and app-based management.
- Small Offices and Retail Stores: Supports multi-network communication and expansion for additional entrances, rooms and alarm devices.
- Properties Requiring External Deterrence: The IP65 outdoor siren adds visible LEDs and a strong audible alarm outside the building.
- Pet-Aware Internal Detection: The included PIR detectors support pet immunity for animals weighing up to 18kg when positioned and configured correctly.
- Expandable Alarm Installations: The hub provides capacity for additional compatible keypads, contacts, repeaters, sirens and camera-linked devices.
Why Choose This Kit
The DHI-ART-ARC3800H-06-FW2 provides more complete local notification than a basic hub-and-sensor package because it includes both an indoor siren and an IP65 outdoor siren, together with three motion detectors and a dedicated keyfob. Ethernet, Wi-Fi and compatible 4G connectivity give the hub several reporting paths, while AES128 encryption, two-way wireless communication and frequency hopping support reliable peripheral operation. The built-in backup battery helps the hub continue during a power interruption, and the system can grow to support additional detection, control and camera-verification devices. Supplied by Security Wholesalers, this kit is best suited to properties that need a professionally planned alarm layout rather than a single-room consumer sensor.

Buyer Decision Tips
Detector Placement Tip: Install PIR detectors away from direct sunlight, heating outlets, moving curtains and rapid temperature changes. The stated 12m × 90° coverage assumes a suitable position at approximately 2.2m high.
Cellular Tip: A compatible activated SIM and service plan are required for cellular data, voice-call or SMS functions. Confirm local carrier bands, signal quality, costs and alarm-receiving requirements before relying on 4G backup.
Monitoring Tip: SIA and SoftGuard support does not automatically provide professional monitoring or emergency response. Confirm service compatibility, reporting paths and response procedures with the selected alarm receiving centre.

Choosing the Right Kit
- Choose the DHI-ART-ARC3800H-06-FW2 if: You need three indoor PIR zones, a keyfob, app-capable hub and both indoor and IP65 outdoor sirens.
- Add door contacts if: Entry doors and accessible windows need perimeter detection before an intruder reaches the internal PIR zones.
- Add a keypad if: Multiple users require convenient PIN, card or fixed-location arming and disarming.
- Add PIR cameras or IP cameras if: Image or video verification is required to help assess alarm events remotely.
- Add a repeater if: Building size, construction materials or distance prevents reliable direct communication with a peripheral.
FAQs
- What is included in the Dahua DHI-ART-ARC3800H-06-FW2 wireless alarm kit?
The DHI-ART-ARC3800H-06-FW2 includes one DHI-ARC3800H-FW2 Wireless Alarm Hub 2, one DHI-ARA24-W2 wireless keyfob, three DHI-ARD1233-W2 wireless PIR detectors, one DHI-ARA12-W2 wireless indoor siren and one DHI-ARA13-W2 wireless outdoor siren. Additional cameras, keypads, door contacts, repeaters, SIM service, professional monitoring and installation are not listed as standard inclusions.
- Can the alarm kit send mobile notifications and phone alerts?
Yes. The hub supports app-based alarm management and can use Ethernet, 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and compatible cellular service for communication. Voice-call and SMS alarms are supported for up to five phone numbers in the kit datasheet, but a compatible activated SIM card and mobile service are required for cellular calling or messaging. Internet, cloud and carrier availability affect remote notifications.
- How much area can the three PIR detectors cover?
Each included DHI-ARD1233-W2 PIR detector has a specified detection range of up to 12 metres across a 90° field when installed at approximately 2.2 metres. The detectors offer three adjustable sensitivity levels, two-way digital temperature compensation and pet immunity for animals up to 18kg. Walls, furniture, heat sources, sunlight, curtains and mounting angle can affect real-world detection.
- Are both an indoor and outdoor siren included?
Yes. The kit includes one DHI-ARA12-W2 indoor siren and one DHI-ARA13-W2 external siren. The indoor siren is rated at at least 105 ±3dB at one metre, while the external siren is specified within the applicable 95.2–104.9dB(A) test range and includes 12 alarm LED groups. The external siren carries IP65 protection when installed correctly.
- Will the alarm continue operating during a power outage?
The hub includes a 4,750mAh rechargeable lithium backup battery. Dahua states up to 12 hours of standby under specific test conditions involving Wi-Fi, cloud connection, an alarm receiving centre heartbeat interval and eight connected peripherals. Actual backup time varies with cellular use, network conditions, connected devices, battery age, temperature and alarm activity. The wireless peripherals use their own batteries.
- Can cameras be linked to the wireless alarm hub?
Yes. The hub supports up to eight compatible IP-camera channels for alarm video upload and can integrate with supported PIR cameras purchased separately. This can provide video verification when an alarm event occurs. The three detectors supplied in this kit are standard PIR motion detectors rather than PIR cameras, so they do not capture images by themselves.
- Can the system be expanded with more wireless devices?
Yes. The ARC3800H-FW2 platform supports up to 150 wireless peripherals within the listed device limits, including keyfobs, sirens, keypads, repeaters and compatible PIR-camera devices. Expansion capacity does not guarantee that every Dahua alarm accessory or regional frequency version is compatible. Match the 433MHz product family and confirm firmware, hub capacity and installation requirements before adding devices.
- What should I confirm before ordering this Dahua alarm kit?
Confirm the three PIR locations, siren mounting points, internet and 2.4GHz Wi-Fi coverage, and whether a compatible SIM or alarm receiving centre service is required. The hub, keyfob, PIR detectors and indoor siren are indoor devices, while only the external siren is IP65 rated. Security Wholesalers can assist with planning additional contacts, keypads, cameras and repeaters for the property.
