Product SKU: DH-IPC-HFW3449EP-AS-LED-0360B/028M
Product Overview
Combining warm LED full-colour illumination with WizSense deep-learning AI, the DH-IPC-HFW3449EP-AS-LED-0360B is a 4MP fixed-focal bullet camera built for outdoor wall and eave mounting at driveways, entrances, shopfronts, and perimeter lines. Unlike standard IR bullet cameras that switch to black-and-white after dark, this model uses a built-in warm LED to maintain genuine colour footage up to 30 metres in complete darkness, capturing clothing colours, vehicle colours, and facial detail that make post-incident review far more practical. Equipped with a 1/2.7″ CMOS sensor outputting 2688 x 1520 at 30fps, it pairs that resolution with SMD Plus, tripwire, and intrusion detection to classify targets as human or vehicle before generating an alert. It also includes a built-in microphone, 1-in/1-out alarm I/O, Micro SD slot up to 256GB, and support for both PoE and 12V DC power, making it a capable standalone or integrated deployment option for commercial and residential outdoor positions.
Key Capabilities
Warm LED Full-Colour Night Vision
The built-in warm LED illuminator delivers up to 30 metres of true-colour imaging in zero ambient light. Footage retains colour detail throughout the night, making it far more actionable for identifying individuals, vehicles, and clothing in post-incident investigation compared to standard IR imagery.
4MP Resolution at 30fps
At 2688 x 1520 and a maximum 30fps frame rate, this camera captures fine scene detail across the 3.6mm field of view. The resolution is sufficient to identify faces and number plates at typical driveway and entrance distances without overloading network bandwidth.
WizSense AI Perimeter Detection
SMD Plus, tripwire, and intrusion detection use deep-learning classification to separate human and vehicle targets from environmental triggers such as moving foliage, insects, or animals. This keeps alert volumes meaningful and reduces the time spent reviewing irrelevant motion events.
H.265+ Efficient Compression
Smart H.265+ encoding reduces file sizes and bandwidth demands significantly compared to H.264, allowing more cameras to operate on existing network infrastructure and extending the usable recording duration on connected NVR storage or local SD cards.
PoE and 12V DC Power Support
IEEE 802.3af PoE allows power and data to be carried over a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable from a compatible switch or PoE NVR. Where PoE infrastructure is not available, 12V DC input provides an alternative, giving installers flexibility across a range of site configurations.
Built-in Mic, Alarm I/O and Local Storage
An onboard microphone captures ambient audio at the scene. The 1-in/1-out alarm interface supports connection to external sensors or output devices such as sirens. A Micro SD slot accommodates cards up to 256GB for local backup recording independent of the network.
Best For
- Residential Driveways and Front Entrances: The 3.6mm wide-angle view and 30m warm LED coverage suit open approach paths where colour detail on visitors and vehicles is needed after dark.
- Retail Shopfronts and Commercial Entries: Full-colour night footage helps identify persons and vehicles outside premises after trading hours, supporting investigations where clothing or vehicle colour is a key detail.
- Perimeter and Boundary Monitoring: Tripwire and intrusion detection across defined zones make this camera well suited to fenced boundaries, gate entries, and restricted access areas where crossing events need to trigger immediate alerts.
- Unmanned Car Parks and Storage Yards: AI-based human and vehicle classification keeps alerts relevant in outdoor environments where wind, animals, and changing light conditions would otherwise generate constant false triggers from standard motion detection.
Why Choose the DH-IPC-HFW3449EP-AS-LED-0360B
Standard bullet cameras fitted with infrared illumination produce monochrome footage after dark, stripping out the colour detail that makes footage genuinely useful for investigations. The DH-IPC-HFW3449EP-AS-LED-0360B addresses this directly with a warm LED that maintains full-colour imaging at up to 30 metres throughout the night. That alone separates it from basic IR alternatives, but the WizSense platform goes further by using deep-learning classification to ensure alerts are triggered only by genuine human or vehicle activity. Add the onboard microphone, alarm I/O for external device integration, and a 256GB SD card slot for standalone local recording, and this model delivers a level of functionality that cheaper fixed bullet cameras cannot match. Available at Security Wholesalers as part of the Dahua WizSense and Pro AI range, it represents a practical upgrade path for installations where colour evidence, smart alerting, and flexible connectivity all matter at the same time.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: This model is supplied with a 3.6mm fixed focal lens providing a wide horizontal field of view, which suits open areas such as driveways, car parks, and shopfronts. If the installation requires coverage of a longer, narrower approach such as a laneway, corridor exterior, or extended fence line, confirm whether a 2.8mm or alternative fixed-focal variant better matches the required field of view before ordering, as the lens cannot be changed or adjusted after manufacture.
Buyer Tip: The warm LED illumination range is rated at up to 30 metres in optimal conditions. For larger open yards, long driveways, or industrial approaches exceeding that distance, review the actual mounting position and target zone carefully during site planning. Supplementary lighting or a model with a longer illumination range may be more appropriate for sites where the primary activity occurs beyond the 30m threshold.

Ideal Use Cases
Residential Driveways
The 3.6mm wide-angle lens and 30m warm LED coverage provide a clear view across a typical residential driveway in complete darkness, capturing vehicle colour, number plate area, and pedestrian detail that standard IR cameras cannot deliver in colour.
Shopfront and Business Entry Monitoring
Mounted above a commercial entry or shopfront fascia, the warm LED keeps the footpath and entry zone in full colour overnight, providing footage that retains the identifying detail needed when reviewing incidents involving persons or vehicles after trading hours.
Car Parks and Open Yards
SMD Plus and intrusion detection classify movement as human or vehicle before raising an alert, cutting through the volume of false triggers common in open outdoor areas where wind, animals, and shifting shadows routinely activate standard motion detection.
Perimeter Fence Lines and Gate Entries
Tripwire detection across defined boundary lines generates an immediate alert when a human or vehicle crosses, making this camera a practical choice for fenced perimeters, restricted zones, and gate access points that require active monitoring after hours.
Sites Requiring Local Backup Recording
The onboard Micro SD slot supporting up to 256GB allows footage to be stored directly on the camera, providing a failover recording option during network outages or a standalone solution for smaller installations where a dedicated NVR is not part of the deployment.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: Your installation requires full-colour night footage at outdoor approaches up to 30 metres, AI-based human and vehicle filtering to manage alert accuracy, onboard audio capture, alarm I/O integration, and the flexibility of PoE or 12V DC power in an IP67-rated bullet housing.
- Choose a different model if: The site requires a varifocal or motorised zoom lens for adjustable framing after installation, a longer illumination range beyond 30 metres for extended approaches or large yards, or pan-tilt-zoom capability to cover a wide dynamic scene from a single mounting point.
FAQs
- Does this camera produce colour footage at night without any additional lighting?
Yes. The DH-IPC-HFW3449EP-AS-LED-0360B uses a built-in warm LED illuminator that is active whenever ambient light falls below threshold, providing full-colour coverage at up to 30 metres regardless of external lighting. The warm LED produces natural-looking colour tones rather than the harsh white light of some competing full-colour systems, making footage easier to review.
- What does the 3.6mm fixed focal lens cover in practice?
A 3.6mm lens on this sensor delivers a wide horizontal field of view suited to open areas such as driveways, car parks, shopfronts, and gate entries. It is not designed for long, narrow corridors or extended approaches where a tighter lens angle would be more appropriate. Because the lens is fixed at the factory, the correct focal length must be confirmed before ordering.
- How does SMD Plus differ from standard motion detection for outdoor installations?
Standard motion detection flags any change in pixel values, which means insects flying past the lens, tree branches moving in wind, or a cat crossing the frame will all generate alerts. SMD Plus analyses the shape and movement pattern of detected objects and classifies them as human or vehicle before triggering a notification. For outdoor sites with natural movement, this distinction keeps alert volumes practical and focused on genuine security events.
- Can this camera record locally without a network video recorder?
Yes. The camera includes a Micro SD card slot that supports cards up to 256GB, allowing footage to be recorded directly on the unit. This is useful as a network failover backup on NVR-connected systems, or as a standalone recording method for smaller single-camera installations where a separate recorder is not required.
- What power options does this camera support?
The DH-IPC-HFW3449EP-AS-LED-0360B supports both PoE via IEEE 802.3af and 12V DC. PoE is the most common deployment method as it carries both power and data over a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable from a compatible PoE switch or PoE NVR port. The 12V DC option allows the camera to be powered from a dedicated supply where PoE infrastructure is not in place.
- Is this camera suited to exposed outdoor mounting in the Australian climate?
Yes. The IP67 ingress protection rating confirms full protection against dust ingress and against temporary immersion in water. This makes it suitable for exposed positions on external walls, eaves, fascia boards, and covered outdoor areas subject to driving rain, humidity, and temperature variation typical of Australian outdoor environments.
- Where can I purchase this camera and access technical documentation in Australia?
The DH-IPC-HFW3449EP-AS-LED-0360B is part of the Security Wholesalers range and is available for purchase through their platform, which also provides access to the product datasheet, operation manual, and installation guide to support planning and deployment. Confirm current stock availability and compatible accessory options at the time of ordering.
