Product SKU: IPC-HDW3449TM-AS-LED
Product Overview
For eave, soffit, and wall-mounted installations where colour detail at night carries real investigative weight, the Dahua IPC-HDW3449TM-AS-LED is built around a warm LED illumination system that keeps footage in full colour up to 30 m without switching to black and white. This fixed-focal eyeball camera uses a 1/2.7″ 4MP progressive CMOS sensor paired with an F1.0 aperture, producing sharp 2688 x 1520 imagery with a minimum illumination of 0.003 Lux. Featuring WizSense AI with SMD Plus, tripwire, and intrusion detection, the camera classifies motion as a person or vehicle rather than generating broad movement alerts. It also incorporates a built-in microphone, Micro SD card support up to 256 GB, and IP67 weatherproofing rated for dust and water ingress. PoE and 12V DC power options make it straightforward to install into both structured network cabling runs and standalone deployments across residential driveways, shopfronts, and small commercial perimeters.
Key Capabilities
Warm LED Full-Colour Night Vision
2 built-in warm LEDs illuminate scenes up to 30 m while maintaining full colour output throughout the night. Unlike IR illuminators that produce monochrome footage in darkness, warm LED illumination retains colour accuracy needed to identify clothing, vehicle colour, and signage from recorded footage.
WizSense AI with SMD Plus
Smart Motion Detection Plus uses deep learning to classify detected movement as a person or vehicle. This filters out triggers from animals, foliage, and environmental changes, producing targeted alerts that give installers and end users more actionable notifications from driveways, yards, and entry points.
Tripwire and Intrusion Detection
Configurable virtual tripwire and intrusion zone detection allows alerts to be tied to specific boundary crossings by people or vehicles. This is particularly useful for after-hours perimeter protection at shopfronts, gated entries, and small yard enclosures where precise zone-based alerting is needed.
4MP Resolution with Smart H.265+ Compression
At 2688 x 1520 resolution and up to 30 fps, this camera captures detailed imagery across a 103-degree horizontal field of view on the 2.8 mm lens. Smart H.265+ compression reduces file sizes and bandwidth consumption, which matters in multi-camera deployments where storage and network load must be managed.
Built-in Microphone and Edge Storage
An integrated microphone captures on-site audio alongside video, providing additional context for incidents without requiring external audio hardware. Local Micro SD card recording up to 256 GB supports standalone deployment and acts as a backup when NVR connectivity is unavailable.
IP67 Rating and Wide Temperature Tolerance
Rated IP67 for full dust exclusion and water immersion resistance, and built to operate from -40 degrees C to +60 degrees C, this eyeball camera handles the full range of Australian outdoor conditions. Coastal humidity, intense summer heat, and exposed eave installations are all within its operating parameters.
Best For
- Residential Driveways and Entry Points: The 30 m warm LED range combined with the 103-degree wide-angle view of the 2.8 mm lens covers typical driveway approaches with full colour, supporting clear identification of visitors and vehicles at night without any external lighting.
- Shopfronts and Small Commercial Perimeters: AI-driven tripwire and intrusion detection zones let business owners receive alerts specifically when people or vehicles breach defined boundaries after hours, making after-dark perimeter monitoring more targeted and less prone to nuisance notifications.
- PoE Network Camera Systems: Native PoE (IEEE 802.3af) support and ONVIF Profile S and Profile G compliance allow the IPC-HDW3449TM-AS-LED to integrate cleanly into Dahua NVR setups and third-party VMS platforms such as Milestone and Genetec over structured Cat5e or Cat6 cabling.
- Standalone and Edge Recording Deployments: Micro SD card support up to 256 GB allows this camera to record independently of a network recorder, making it suited to remote locations, temporary installations, or sites where a continuous NVR connection is not practical.
- Mixed-Lighting Outdoor Environments: The 120 dB WDR rating addresses high-contrast scenes such as backlit shopfront windows and sun-exposed driveway entries, retaining usable detail in both bright and shadowed areas within the same frame.
Why Choose the IPC-HDW3449TM-AS-LED
Warm LED illumination sets the IPC-HDW3449TM-AS-LED apart from the broader fixed eyeball camera category. Where a standard IR camera surrenders colour information the moment ambient light drops, this camera’s 2 built-in warm LEDs sustain full-colour output to 30 m, keeping clothing colours, vehicle colours, and other identifying details visible in recorded footage. The F1.0 aperture maximises light gathering at the sensor level, which reduces the camera’s dependence on the LEDs in partially lit scenes. WizSense AI adds practical intelligence by filtering motion events down to confirmed people and vehicle detections, giving installers and operators alerts that are worth acting on. The 120 dB WDR performance handles the difficult mixed-lighting conditions common in outdoor residential and commercial settings. Built into a metal-bodied IP67 eyeball housing, the camera is suited to year-round outdoor exposure. Available through Security Wholesalers as part of the Dahua WizSense economy lineup, the IPC-HDW3449TM-AS-LED delivers genuine full-colour AI capabilities without the cost of higher-tier Dahua product ranges.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: The IPC-HDW3449TM-AS-LED is a fixed-focal eyeball camera. The 2.8 mm lens provides a 103-degree horizontal field of view, which is well suited to covering wider scenes at shorter distances such as driveways, entry doors, and open yards. If your installation requires a narrower view to extend coverage down a long corridor or an extended approach, confirm whether a 3.6 mm lens variant is available to you before ordering, as the fixed focal length cannot be adjusted after installation.
Buyer Tip: To unlock the full value of SMD Plus and perimeter protection features on this camera, it should be paired with a compatible Dahua Smart NVR that supports WizSense AI event processing. Features including intelligent event search, AI-based playback filtering, and alert-based recording rules are activated through the NVR rather than the camera alone. Verify that your recorder supports WizSense camera integration before finalising the system design.

Ideal Use Cases
Residential Driveways and Gates
The 30 m warm LED range and 103-degree field of view on the 2.8 mm lens cover typical residential driveway and gate approaches in full colour. WizSense AI filters motion alerts to confirmed people and vehicle detections, reducing unnecessary notifications for homeowners monitoring entry points overnight.
Shopfronts and Retail Car Parks
120 dB WDR handles the high-contrast lighting common at retail shopfronts, and configurable intrusion detection zones allow alert thresholds to be set for specific areas such as loading bays or after-hours car park zones. Colour night footage supports incident investigation without the need for additional site lighting.
Schools and Childcare Outdoor Zones
Wide-angle coverage from the 2.8 mm lens suits open outdoor areas such as playgrounds and drop-off zones. Full-colour output in early-morning and late-afternoon low light conditions, which are common during school operating hours, improves identification capability when ambient light is limited.
Warehouses and Loading Docks
Mixed artificial and natural lighting at warehouse entries and loading docks is addressed by 120 dB WDR. The built-in microphone captures audio context alongside video, and Micro SD edge recording ensures footage is retained locally even if the network connection to the NVR is temporarily interrupted during an incident.
Multi-Camera PoE Network Installations
ONVIF Profile S and Profile G compliance and native PoE (IEEE 802.3af) support allow this camera to integrate into structured cabling runs from a central PoE switch or compatible NVR. This simplifies multi-camera deployments by delivering power and data over a single Cat5e or Cat6 run to each camera location.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need true full-colour night vision up to 30 m without switching to black and white, combined with WizSense AI people and vehicle detection in a compact IP67 eyeball camera that supports PoE, edge recording, and integration with Dahua Smart NVRs or third-party VMS platforms including Milestone and Genetec.
- Choose a different model if: Your installation requires a varifocal or motorised zoom lens to adjust coverage after mounting, traditional IR night vision rather than warm LED full-colour output, or a higher resolution sensor beyond 4MP. In those cases, a different camera within the Dahua range with those specific optical or resolution characteristics would be a more appropriate fit.
FAQs
- How does warm LED night vision differ from standard IR night vision on this camera?
Standard IR cameras produce monochrome (black-and-white) footage once ambient light drops below a usable level. The IPC-HDW3449TM-AS-LED uses 2 warm LEDs to illuminate scenes up to 30 m while keeping the image in full colour. This means clothing colours, vehicle colours, skin tones, and environmental details remain visible in recordings taken in complete darkness, which carries significant value during incident investigation.
- What lens options are available, and how do they affect coverage?
This camera is available in a 2.8 mm fixed-focal lens providing a 103-degree horizontal field of view, and a 3.6 mm lens providing an 80-degree horizontal field of view. Both use an M12 fixed-focal mount. The 2.8 mm lens is better suited to wide, shorter-distance coverage such as a driveway or open entry, while the 3.6 mm lens narrows the view for longer corridors or extended approaches. Confirm the lens variant you need before ordering.
- What AI features does WizSense provide on the IPC-HDW3449TM-AS-LED?
WizSense on this camera delivers SMD Plus (Smart Motion Detection Plus), tripwire detection, and intrusion zone detection. All three functions use deep learning to classify detected motion as either a person or a vehicle. This means alerts are tied to confirmed human or vehicle activity rather than generic motion, which reduces unnecessary notifications triggered by animals, wind, or lighting changes.
- Can this camera record locally without being connected to an NVR?
Yes. The IPC-HDW3449TM-AS-LED supports a Micro SD card up to 256 GB for on-camera edge recording. This allows standalone deployment where a continuously connected NVR is not available. Edge recording also serves as a local backup, preserving footage if network connectivity is disrupted during an event. The Micro SD slot is not supplied with a card included.
- Does this camera need to be paired with a Dahua NVR to use its AI features?
The camera performs SMD Plus, tripwire, and intrusion detection at the edge regardless of the recorder. However, to access AI-based event search, intelligent playback, and alert management functions within a recording system, the camera should be paired with a compatible Dahua Smart NVR that supports WizSense event processing. Third-party ONVIF-based VMS platforms will receive standard motion events but may not expose the full AI event metadata.
- What power options does this camera support, and how much power does it draw?
The IPC-HDW3449TM-AS-LED supports both 12V DC power and Power over Ethernet via IEEE 802.3af. PoE is the preferred installation method for most structured network deployments as it delivers both power and data over a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable run. Total power consumption is rated at less than 8.5 W, which is within standard 802.3af budget limits of 15.4 W per port.
- Is this camera compatible with third-party VMS platforms?
Yes. The camera supports ONVIF Profile S and Profile G, along with CGI and P2P connectivity. It is also listed by Dahua as compatible with Milestone and Genetec video management systems. This makes it a workable option for multi-brand installations or existing sites where a third-party VMS is already deployed, without requiring a full migration to Dahua software.
- Where is the IPC-HDW3449TM-AS-LED available in Australia?
The IPC-HDW3449TM-AS-LED is part of the Security Wholesalers range, which stocks Dahua WizSense cameras for professional installers and trade customers across Australia. It is advisable to confirm current stock and which lens variant is available at the time of ordering, as product availability can vary.
