Product SKU: DH-IPC-PTS2649C-3E3Z-4GB20
Product Overview
The Dahua DH-IPC-PTS2649C-3E3Z-4GB20 is a dual-channel WizColor 4G solar camera designed for remote locations where fixed internet and mains power are unavailable. Rather than producing one combined 6 MP image, it uses two separate 3 MP sensors: a fixed 2.8 mm overview camera and an electrically controlled pan-and-tilt camera with 3.6 mm and 8.4 mm hybrid-zoom positions. The fixed channel maintains broad scene awareness while the PT channel can inspect or track people and vehicles in greater detail. A built-in 65 Wh lithium battery and supplied 8 W solar panel support autonomous operation, while AOV mode enables low-power continuous recording. The camera also includes full-colour WizColor imaging, warm-light illumination up to 50 metres, human and vehicle detection, SMD 3.0, auto tracking, two-way audio, active deterrence, 4G connectivity and microSD storage up to 512 GB.
Key Capabilities
Dual 3 MP Camera System
A fixed 3 MP overview channel works alongside a separate 3 MP pan-and-tilt channel. This coordinated design provides broad situational awareness and a closer adjustable view without relying on a single lens for every monitoring task.
Hybrid-Zoom PT Monitoring
The PT channel switches between 3.6 mm and 8.4 mm focal lengths, allowing the camera to move from wider monitoring to a narrower detailed view. Up to 50 presets and eight tours support repeatable surveillance patterns.
Solar and Battery Operation
The integrated 65 Wh lithium battery and supplied 8 W solar panel support operation at locations without permanent mains power. USB Type-C charging with QC2.0 support provides an additional charging method when required.
4G Remote Connectivity
The camera connects through a compatible 4G mobile network and can be viewed or managed through the DMSS mobile application. This makes it suitable for remote sites where fixed broadband or local network infrastructure is unavailable.
WizColor Full-Colour Imaging
F1.0 apertures, sensitive 1/2.8-inch sensors and warm-light illumination support full-colour monitoring in very low light. The fixed channel provides warm light up to 30 metres, while the PT channel reaches up to 50 metres.
AI Tracking and Deterrence
Human and vehicle detection, SMD 3.0, linkage tracking and Auto Tracking Lite help focus attention on relevant movement. White-light warnings and configurable audible alarms provide active deterrence when supported events occur.
Best For
- Farms and Rural Properties: Provides remote monitoring around gates, sheds, livestock areas and machinery without fixed internet or mains power.
- Construction Sites: Supports temporary surveillance of equipment, materials and site access points.
- Remote Yards and Storage Areas: Combines wide-area monitoring with an adjustable closer view for people and vehicles.
- Temporary Security Installations: Useful where a conventional cabled camera system is impractical or not yet available.
- Off-Grid Entrances: Suitable for gates, driveways and access routes requiring 4G connectivity, local recording and active deterrence.
Why Choose the DH-IPC-PTS2649C-3E3Z-4GB20
The DH-IPC-PTS2649C-3E3Z-4GB20 combines two camera views, 4G connectivity and solar-powered operation in one purpose-built remote surveillance platform. The fixed channel maintains a wide overview while the PT channel can move, zoom and track selected targets, reducing the blind spots associated with a single fixed camera. WizColor imaging and warm-light illumination provide full-colour footage at night, while SMD 3.0, human and vehicle classification, active deterrence and two-way audio support faster response to relevant events. Available through Security Wholesalers, this model is particularly useful for farms, construction sites, remote yards and temporary installations. Its performance still depends on mobile coverage, sunlight, battery condition, camera activity, local storage and correct positioning of both the camera and solar panel.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: This is a dual 3 MP camera rather than a single 6 MP sensor. Each channel records independently at up to 2304 × 1296, with one channel providing the fixed overview and the other providing adjustable PT monitoring.
Buyer Tip: Confirm the regional 4G version and supported carrier bands before ordering. A compatible SIM card and mobile data plan are required, and reliable operation depends on adequate cellular signal at the installation point.

- Choose a conventional PoE camera if: Stable mains power and network cabling are available and continuous high-frame-rate recording is required.
- Choose a larger solar system if: The camera will stream frequently, track continuously or operate in an area with limited daily sunlight.
- Choose a fixed-only solar camera if: Pan-and-tilt tracking and hybrid-zoom inspection are not required.
FAQs
- Is the Dahua IPC-PTS2649C-3E3Z-4GB20 a single 6 MP camera?
No. The camera uses two separate 3 MP imaging channels: a fixed 2.8 mm overview lens and a motorised pan-and-tilt lens with 3.6 mm and 8.4 mm hybrid-zoom positions. Together they provide coordinated wide-area and detailed monitoring, but each channel records at up to 2304 × 1296 rather than one combined 6 MP image.
- How does the hybrid zoom work on the IPC-PTS2649C-3E3Z-4GB20?
The fixed 2.8 mm lens maintains a wide overview, while the PT channel switches between 3.6 mm and 8.4 mm focal lengths for closer inspection. The camera can coordinate the two views through linkage tracking, allowing the PT lens to follow detected people or vehicles while the fixed channel continues monitoring the broader scene.
- Does the camera include a battery and solar panel?
Yes. The camera has a built-in 65 Wh lithium battery and is supplied with an 8 W solar panel. Solar charging supports remote operation where mains power is unavailable, while USB Type-C charging with QC2.0 support provides an additional charging option. Solar performance depends on panel orientation, sunlight, temperature and daily camera activity.
- What mobile network does the camera use?
The IPC-PTS2649C-3E3Z-4GB20 uses a 4G cellular connection and is managed through the DMSS mobile application on Android or iOS. Supported LTE frequency bands vary by regional version, so the exact EAU, EUR or LA model must be checked against the local carrier before purchase and installation.
- Can the camera record continuously while using solar power?
The camera supports AOV mode for 24/7 recording with ultra-low power consumption, recording one frame every two seconds while maintaining the 4G connection. Higher-performance live streaming, PT movement, lighting and speaker use consume substantially more power, so expected operating time depends on sunlight, battery condition, activity and configuration.
- What should be checked before buying the IPC-PTS2649C-3E3Z-4GB20?
Confirm the regional 4G frequency version, local carrier coverage, solar-panel exposure, mounting position, required viewing distances and microSD storage before ordering. The IPC-PTS2649C-3E3Z-4GB20 is available through Security Wholesalers for remote sites, but a compatible SIM card, data plan and suitable installation location are still required.
