Product SKU: DHI-ART-ARC3000H-03-FW2
Product Overview
The Dahua DHI-ART-ARC3000H-03-FW2 wireless alarm kit provides a practical starting point for indoor intrusion protection across homes, apartments, shops and smaller business premises. The package combines an alarm hub, wireless PIR detector, wireless door detector and wireless keyfob, allowing one internal movement zone and one entry point to be protected immediately. The hub supports Ethernet, Wi-Fi and cellular communication, with dual-SIM installation and automatic switching between the available cards while one SIM remains active at a time. Users can arm, disarm and manage the system through the DMSS app, the supplied keyfob or scheduled operation. Two-way wireless communication, AES128 encryption and frequency hopping support stable device communication, while the hub’s built-in backup battery provides continued standby operation during a power interruption. With capacity for up to 150 wireless peripherals, the kit can also form the base of a larger alarm system as additional compatible devices are added.
System Capabilities
Starter Entry and Movement Protection
The supplied door detector monitors an entry point while the PIR detector covers movement within an internal room or passage. This combination provides a useful foundation for apartments, homes and small commercial premises without requiring multiple detectors from the first installation.
Multiple Network Paths
The hub can connect through Ethernet, 2.4GHz Wi-Fi or cellular networks. Dual-SIM installation with single-card standby provides additional communication flexibility, although only one installed SIM operates at a time and an appropriate active service plan is required.
Expandable Wireless Platform
Support for up to 150 wireless peripherals allows the system to grow beyond the four supplied devices. Additional compatible detectors, keyfobs, sirens and other supported alarm peripherals can be introduced as more rooms, doors or users require coverage.
Stable Encrypted Communication
Two-way communication allows the hub and peripherals to exchange status information, while AES128 encryption and frequency hopping protect and stabilise the wireless connection. Signal strength, battery level, temperature and firmware information can be viewed for supported peripherals.
Flexible Everyday Control
Users can arm or disarm the alarm through the DMSS app, the supplied four-button keyfob or a configured schedule. The keyfob provides Home, Away, Disarm and SOS controls for quick operation without opening a mobile app.
Backup and Event Resilience
The hub includes a lithium backup battery with a stated standby time of up to 12 hours. Low-battery monitoring, tamper alarms, configuration protection during power failure and up to 50 offline cache entries support more reliable ongoing operation.
Best For
- Homes and Apartments: Provides immediate protection for one doorway and one internal movement area, with room to add compatible devices later.
- Shops and Small Offices: Suitable for monitoring a main entrance and an internal sales, reception or storage area after hours.
- Expandable Alarm Installations: A practical starting point for buyers who expect to add more detectors, keyfobs, sirens or other supported peripherals over time.
- Properties Requiring Cellular Backup Options: Supports Ethernet, Wi-Fi and cellular communication when a compatible SIM and service plan are correctly configured.
Why Choose This Kit
This kit is a stronger choice than a basic app-only alarm because the hub supports wired Ethernet, Wi-Fi and cellular networking rather than relying on one connection path. It also provides room to expand beyond the supplied PIR and door detector, supporting up to 150 wireless peripherals as security needs change. The included keyfob makes everyday arming, disarming and SOS activation straightforward for users who do not want to open the app each time. Practical resilience features include a built-in hub battery, low-battery reporting, tamper alarms, frequency hopping and automatic network replenishment. Available through Security Wholesalers, the DHI-ART-ARC3000H-03-FW2 suits buyers who want a compact indoor starter kit with app control, cellular communication options and a clear upgrade path rather than a permanently fixed four-device system.

FAQs
- What is included in the Dahua DHI-ART-ARC3000H-03-FW2 alarm kit?
The DHI-ART-ARC3000H-03-FW2 includes one alarm hub, one wireless PIR detector, one wireless door detector and one wireless keyfob. This provides a practical starter configuration for monitoring one internal movement area and one entry point. The supplied keyfob supports Home, Away, Disarm and SOS controls. Confirm the regional power-adaptor configuration with Security Wholesalers before purchase, as adaptor arrangements can vary between market versions.
- How many wireless devices can be added to the DHI-ART-ARC3000H-03-FW2 hub?
The hub supports up to 150 wireless peripherals, including stated limits of six wireless sirens and 64 wireless keyfobs. This gives the starter kit room to grow as more rooms, doors or user controls need protection. Any added detector, siren, keypad, repeater or PIR-camera must be compatible with the hub’s supported wireless platform and regional 433.1–434.6MHz operating frequency.
- Can the alarm kit keep communicating if the home internet connection fails?
Yes, when its cellular functions are correctly configured with a suitable active SIM and service plan. The hub supports Ethernet, Wi-Fi and GSM, WCDMA or LTE cellular communication, with space for two SIM cards and automatic switching while only one card operates at a time. The built-in lithium battery also provides up to 12 hours of standby during a mains power interruption, although network availability still depends on the configured services.
- What area does the supplied wireless PIR detector cover?
The supplied PIR detector has a stated detection range of up to 12 metres across a 90-degree area when installed at a height of 2.2 metres. It uses a dual-element low-noise PIR sensor and offers three adjustable sensitivity levels. Positioning matters: avoid directing it at strong heat sources, moving curtains or areas outside the intended room, and test the detection pattern after mounting.
- Is the supplied PIR detector suitable for homes with pets?
Yes, the PIR detector has a stated pet-immunity level for animals weighing up to 18kg. This can help reduce alarms caused by smaller household pets when the detector is installed and configured correctly. Pet immunity is not a guarantee against every activation, so mounting height, sensitivity, furniture placement and the animal’s ability to climb into the detection field should all be considered.
- Can the wireless door detector be fitted to a metal door?
The supplied door detector is specified for non-metal doors, so it should not be assumed suitable for direct installation on a metal door or frame. Metal surfaces can affect magnetic alignment and wireless performance. The detector uses a reed switch, supports a movement distance of less than 40mm and includes one dry-contact input, but the final mounting arrangement should follow the installation requirements for the selected doorway.
- How can the DHI-ART-ARC3000H-03-FW2 be armed and disarmed?
The system can be armed or disarmed through the DMSS app, the supplied wireless keyfob or a configured schedule. The keyfob provides separate Home, Away, Disarm and SOS buttons, making it useful for routine entry and exit without opening a phone. App control requires the hub to be connected and correctly configured, while scheduled operation should be planned around the property’s normal occupancy pattern.
- Can the alarm hub send SMS messages or make phone calls during an alarm?
Yes. The hub supports SMS messages and phone calls to as many as five configured phone numbers when cellular service is installed and set up correctly. It also supports app notifications and SOS emergency alarms. These functions depend on the active SIM, network coverage, account configuration and available service plan, so they should be tested during commissioning rather than assumed to work before the communication settings are completed.
