Product SKU: DH-IPC-HDBW3466EP-AS-AUS
Product Overview
The Dahua DH-IPC-HDBW3466EP-AS-AUS is a 4MP WizSense fixed-lens dome camera designed for homes, retail sites, offices, warehouses and exposed outdoor areas that need clear surveillance with intelligent event filtering. It records at up to 2688 × 1520 at 25/30 fps and uses three infrared LEDs to provide night illumination up to 50 metres. Buyers can select a 2.8mm, 3.6mm or 6mm fixed-lens variant to suit wide-area viewing or more focused coverage. WizSense perimeter protection and SMD 4.0 classify people and vehicles, helping reduce irrelevant alerts compared with basic motion detection. The camera also includes a built-in microphone, 120dB WDR, AI Scene Self-adaptation and support for microSD cards up to 256GB. Its metal IP67 and IK10-rated enclosure suits demanding indoor or outdoor installations, while 12V DC and IEEE 802.3af PoE power options provide installation flexibility.
Key Capabilities
Detailed 4MP Video
The camera records at up to 2688 × 1520 at 25/30 fps, providing more image detail than standard Full HD. This is useful for monitoring entrances, driveways, counters and other areas where clearer visual evidence is important.
Human and Vehicle Classification
WizSense perimeter protection supports tripwire and intrusion rules with accurate human and vehicle classification. SMD 4.0 also helps separate selected targets from other movement, making alarms and event searches more relevant when correctly configured.
Up to 50 Metres of Infrared
Three built-in infrared LEDs provide a specified illumination distance of up to 50 metres. The camera can automatically change between colour and black-and-white operation as lighting conditions change.
Built-In Microphone
The integrated microphone allows sound to be captured with the video stream. The AS version also provides separate RCA audio input and output connections for installations requiring compatible external audio equipment.
Flexible Lens Selection
The 2.8mm, 3.6mm and 6mm fixed-lens variants provide different viewing widths. Buyers can choose broad overview coverage, a balanced general-purpose view or a tighter image for more focused monitoring.
Outdoor and Impact Protection
The metal housing carries IP67 weather protection and an IK10 impact-resistance rating. This makes the dome suitable for exposed areas and accessible mounting positions where weather and physical tampering are practical concerns.
Best For
- Driveways and Entrances: Human and vehicle classification helps prioritise activity around access points and vehicle approaches.
- Retail Stores: The dome housing, built-in microphone and detailed 4MP image suit shop floors, counters and customer entry areas.
- Warehouses and Offices: Selectable fixed lenses allow the camera to cover general work areas, corridors, loading zones or targeted access points.
- Exposed Outdoor Areas: IP67 weather protection, IK10 impact resistance and a wide operating temperature range support demanding installations.
- Event-Based Surveillance: WizSense perimeter protection and SMD 4.0 help buyers who need more useful alerts than standard motion detection provides.
Why Choose the DH-IPC-HDBW3466EP-AS-AUS
The DH-IPC-HDBW3466EP-AS-AUS combines practical image quality, intelligent event filtering and a durable dome enclosure without requiring a motorised lens or separate microphone. Its main advantage over a basic 4MP camera is the addition of WizSense human and vehicle classification, SMD 4.0 and AI Scene Self-adaptation, which make alerts and recorded footage easier to manage. The three available lens options also let installers match the field of view to the site instead of relying on one general-purpose angle. Built-in audio, microSD support, alarm connections, 120dB WDR and PoE add flexibility for more detailed system designs. Available through Security Wholesalers, this model is a strong fit where buyers need a vandal-resistant fixed dome with intelligent detection and long-range infrared coverage.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: Choose the lens variant before ordering. The 2.8mm lens gives the widest scene, the 3.6mm lens provides more focused general coverage, and the 6mm lens produces a tighter view for areas where the target is farther from the camera.
Buyer Tip: The built-in microphone records audio, but a built-in speaker is not specified. The camera should not be selected on the assumption that it provides built-in two-way audio; external audio equipment is required where compatible talkback functionality is needed.

Choosing the Right Model
- Choose the 2.8mm lens if: You need the broadest overview for entrances, small yards, rooms or areas close to the mounting point.
- Choose the 3.6mm lens if: You want a balanced field of view for general surveillance without the scene appearing as wide as the 2.8mm option.
- Choose the 6mm lens if: You need a tighter view of a more distant gate, doorway, lane or defined target area.
- Choose a different camera type if: The installation requires remote optical zoom, motorised lens adjustment, built-in white-light deterrence or a built-in speaker.
FAQs
- Is the Dahua DH-IPC-HDBW3466EP-AS-AUS suitable for outdoor installation?
Yes. The DH-IPC-HDBW3466EP-AS-AUS has an IP67 weather rating and an IK10 impact-resistance rating, making it suitable for exposed outdoor positions as well as indoor areas where tamper resistance matters. Its specified operating range is −40°C to +60°C at less than 95% relative humidity. Correct sealing, cable protection and mounting remain important for maintaining reliable outdoor performance. - Which lens should I choose for the DH-IPC-HDBW3466EP-AS-AUS?
Choose the 2.8mm lens for the widest coverage, with a 107° horizontal field of view. The 3.6mm option narrows the view to 88° and suits more focused general surveillance, while the 6mm lens provides a 54° horizontal view for tighter, longer-range coverage. These are fixed-lens variants, so the required focal length should be selected when ordering rather than adjusted after installation. - How far can the infrared night vision reach?
The DH-IPC-HDBW3466EP-AS-AUS has three built-in infrared LEDs with a specified illumination distance of up to 50 metres. Actual usable detail depends on the selected lens, camera position, target size, surface reflectivity and surrounding light. The camera automatically switches between colour and black-and-white modes through its day and night function, with infrared supporting surveillance when visible light is insufficient. - Can this camera distinguish people and vehicles?
Yes. The camera supports WizSense perimeter protection for tripwire and intrusion rules with human and vehicle classification. It also includes SMD 4.0, which classifies motion-triggering targets and helps filter objects that are not the selected target type. This makes event notifications and recorded searches more useful than basic pixel-based motion detection, provided the detection rules and monitored area are configured correctly. - Does the DH-IPC-HDBW3466EP-AS-AUS support audio?
Yes. The DH-IPC-HDBW3466EP-AS-AUS has a built-in microphone for recording sound with the video stream. The AS variant also provides one RCA audio input and one RCA audio output. A built-in speaker is not specified, so the camera should not be described as having built-in two-way audio. Any external audio equipment must be selected and installed separately where required. - Can footage be recorded to a microSD card?
Yes. The camera supports a microSD card with a maximum capacity of 256GB, as well as FTP, SFTP and NAS storage options. Local card recording can provide useful event or backup storage, but the card is not listed as included. Recording duration depends on resolution, frame rate, encoding, bit rate, recording schedule and scene activity, so storage requirements should be calculated for the intended setup. - Which recorder features work with this WizSense camera?
When paired with a compatible AI NVR, Quick Pick can help locate human and vehicle targets from SMD event recordings. The camera can also work with a compatible Smart NVR for refined intelligent search and event extraction. It supports ONVIF Profiles S, G and T, but recorder functionality still depends on model and firmware compatibility. Security Wholesalers can help confirm the intended recorder and feature combination before purchase. - How can the DH-IPC-HDBW3466EP-AS-AUS be powered?
The camera supports either 12V DC or IEEE 802.3af PoE power. PoE allows compatible network data and power to run through one Ethernet cable, which can simplify installation when used with a suitable PoE switch or recorder. Maximum specified consumption is 7.1W on 12V DC or 8.3W through PoE when WDR, infrared intensity and intelligent functions are operating.
