Product Overview
The Dahua DH-IPC-HDBW3867R-ZAS-IL-ANZ is an 8MP Smart Dual Light WizSense dome network camera designed for installations that need adjustable coverage, detailed 4K surveillance and intelligent human and vehicle detection. Its 2.7–13.5mm motorised varifocal lens provides a wide-to-tele horizontal field of view from approximately 114° to 32°, allowing installers to fine-tune the scene after mounting. Smart Dual Light combines infrared and warm-light illumination up to 50 metres, supporting discreet IR monitoring with colour event footage when visible illumination is triggered. SMD 4.0, tripwire and intrusion rules classify people and vehicles, while AcuPick and AI SSA provide intelligent search and scene-adaptation functions. The camera also includes a built-in microphone, alarm and audio I/O, MicroSD storage up to 512GB, 120dB WDR, PoE and a metal IP67/IK10 housing for demanding indoor or outdoor installations.
Key Capabilities
8MP 4K Surveillance Detail
Maximum 3840 × 2160 resolution at up to 25/30fps provides detailed footage for entrances, car parks, commercial areas and building perimeters where higher pixel density is useful for reviewing people, vehicles and events.
Motorised 2.7–13.5mm Varifocal Lens
The adjustable lens moves from a broad 114° horizontal view to approximately 32° at the tele end. This gives installers significantly more control over framing than a fixed-lens dome and allows the view to be optimised for the actual site.
Smart Dual Light to 50m
The camera combines infrared and warm-light illumination, both rated to a maximum of 50 metres. Infrared can provide discreet night monitoring, while warm light can activate around configured events to capture important footage in colour.
SMD 4.0 and Perimeter Protection
Smart Motion Detection, tripwire and intrusion rules can classify human and vehicle targets. This helps reduce event lists filled with unrelated movement and gives operators more relevant alerts and recorded-event searches.
AcuPick and AI SSA
AcuPick works with compatible back-end devices to locate human and motor-vehicle targets in live and recorded video, while AI Scene Self-adaptation adjusts image parameters for conditions including rain, fog, backlight, low light and flicker.
IP67 and IK10 Metal Construction
The metal enclosure combines IP67 weather protection with IK10 impact resistance, making the dome suitable for exposed and publicly accessible locations where both environmental and physical durability matter.
Best For
- Commercial Entrances: Motorised zoom, 120dB WDR and human detection suit doorways where lighting and required framing can be difficult to predict before installation.
- Car Parks: Adjustable viewing angles, 8MP resolution and 50m dual illumination are useful for selected parking lanes, vehicle approaches and access areas.
- Retail and Shopfronts: Use the varifocal lens to focus on entrances, counters or other priority areas while SMD 4.0 helps prioritise relevant human and vehicle events.
- Building Perimeters: IP67 protection, IK10 impact resistance and Smart Dual Light suit exposed walls and access paths requiring dependable day and night monitoring.
- Warehouses and Commercial Premises: A strong fit where 8MP detail, built-in audio, local storage and configurable alarm integration are required from the same camera.
Why Choose the DH-IPC-HDBW3867R-ZAS-IL-ANZ
The DH-IPC-HDBW3867R-ZAS-IL-ANZ is particularly useful where a fixed 2.8mm camera would provide too much unused background or insufficient detail on the target area. Its 2.7–13.5mm motorised lens lets the installer optimise the view after mounting, while 8MP resolution retains useful detail across the selected scene. Smart Dual Light adds flexibility at night by combining discreet infrared with event-triggered warm illumination rather than requiring visible lighting continuously. SMD 4.0, AcuPick and perimeter rules also provide more focused event handling than conventional motion detection. Available through Security Wholesalers, this model suits residential and commercial installations needing adjustable coverage, vandal resistance, audio capture, high-resolution video and intelligent analytics in one dome camera.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: Use the wider end of the lens when overall scene coverage matters, and the tele end when the priority is greater detail on a smaller area. Published DORI identification distance increases from approximately 8.5 metres at the wide setting to 28 metres at the tele setting, helping with placement planning.
Audio Tip: The camera has a built-in microphone plus RCA audio input and output, but the datasheet does not specify a built-in speaker. Do not assume the camera provides self-contained two-way audio unless suitable external audio hardware is included in the system design.

Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need 8MP resolution and want to adjust the horizontal field of view between approximately 114° and 32° rather than committing to a fixed lens.
- Choose this model if: Smart Dual Light, SMD 4.0, AcuPick, built-in microphone and local MicroSD storage are useful parts of the required surveillance system.
- Choose a fixed-lens model if: The required scene is already known and the extra flexibility of a motorised varifocal lens would not provide a practical benefit.
- Consider another camera type if: You require PTZ movement, long-range optical zoom or a built-in speaker for self-contained two-way audio.
FAQs
- What is the main advantage of the Dahua DH-IPC-HDBW3867R-ZAS-IL-ANZ?
The DH-IPC-HDBW3867R-ZAS-IL-ANZ combines 8MP resolution, a motorised 2.7–13.5mm varifocal lens, Smart Dual Light and WizSense analytics in an IP67 and IK10 metal dome. The adjustable lens is particularly useful when the final field of view needs to be tuned after mounting, while SMD 4.0, perimeter protection and AcuPick add more targeted human and vehicle event handling than basic motion detection alone. - How does Smart Dual Light work on the DH-IPC-HDBW3867R-ZAS-IL-ANZ?
Smart Dual Light normally uses infrared illumination at night. When a configured target enters the monitored area, the warm light can activate so key event footage is captured in colour. After the target leaves, the warm light switches off and infrared monitoring resumes. Dahua specifies up to 50 metres for both IR and warm-light illumination, helping reduce unnecessary visible-light operation while retaining colour detail around selected events. - What viewing range does the 2.7–13.5mm motorised lens provide?
The 2.7–13.5mm motorised varifocal lens provides a horizontal field of view from approximately 114° at the wide end to 32° at the tele end. This lets the installer choose between broad area coverage and a tighter view of a more distant target. Published DORI identification distances are 8.5 metres at wide and 28 metres at tele, which is useful when planning placement and required subject detail. - Does the DH-IPC-HDBW3867R-ZAS-IL-ANZ support human and vehicle detection?
Yes. The camera supports tripwire and intrusion rules with human and vehicle classification, together with SMD 4.0. These functions are designed to prioritise relevant people and vehicles while filtering unrelated motion. AcuPick is also supported with compatible back-end devices, allowing human and motor-vehicle targets to be searched across live and recorded video more efficiently. - Does the DH-IPC-HDBW3867R-ZAS-IL-ANZ record audio?
Yes. The camera has a built-in microphone and also provides one RCA audio input and one RCA audio output. This allows audio to be captured with video and gives the installation additional audio integration options. The datasheet does not list a built-in speaker, so the camera should not be described as having self-contained two-way audio without appropriate external audio hardware. - Can the DH-IPC-HDBW3867R-ZAS-IL-ANZ be used outdoors?
Yes. The camera uses a metal casing with IP67 weather protection and IK10 impact resistance, and it is specified for operation from -30 °C to +60 °C. This makes it suitable for correctly installed outdoor locations such as entrances, building perimeters, car parks and exposed commercial areas. IK10 is also useful where the dome may be mounted in a publicly accessible or impact-prone position. - Does the camera support local MicroSD recording and PoE?
Yes. The DH-IPC-HDBW3867R-ZAS-IL-ANZ supports MicroSD cards up to 512GB, along with FTP, SFTP and NAS storage. It can be powered by 12VDC or PoE using IEEE 802.3af. PoE can simplify installation by carrying network data and power over the same Ethernet cable from a compatible PoE switch, injector or recorder. - What should I check before buying the DH-IPC-HDBW3867R-ZAS-IL-ANZ?
Confirm that the 2.7–13.5mm zoom range suits the required scene, that the recorder or network supports 8MP video and any WizSense functions you plan to use, and that the mounting position suits the dome format. Buyers sourcing the camera through Security Wholesalers should also decide whether local MicroSD storage, external alarm or audio connections, and a compatible mounting accessory are required for the installation.
