Product SKU: DH-IPC-PDW3849-A180-AS-PV-ANZ-BLK
Product Overview
The Dahua DH-IPC-PDW3849-A180-AS-PV-ANZ-BLK is an 8MP TiOC 2.0 dual-lens turret camera designed to deliver seamless 180° panoramic surveillance from a single mounting point. Combining dual 1/2.7″ CMOS sensors with a 2.8mm fixed lens, it captures a full 4096 × 1860 resolution image at 20 fps, covering wide areas without blind spots. The camera features full-colour night vision using both IR illumination (up to 25m) and warm LED light (up to 20m), meaning it switches to vivid colour recording the moment motion is detected rather than defaulting to black-and-white. Smart Motion Detection 4.0 accurately classifies humans and vehicles to cut false alerts, while the built-in red and blue flashing lights, siren, microphone, and speaker provide genuine active deterrence. This camera suits retail storefronts, driveways, open yards, and any location where wide-angle coverage combined with real-time deterrence is a priority.
Key Capabilities
180° Panoramic Coverage
Dual 4MP lenses stitch together a seamless 180° horizontal field of view, eliminating blind spots across wide open areas and reducing the number of cameras required to cover driveways, shopfronts, or large yards.
TiOC 2.0 Full-Colour Night Vision
Equipped with both IR (up to 25m) and warm LED illuminators (up to 20m), the camera delivers full-colour footage in low light or complete darkness. When motion triggers the warm light, colour detail is preserved for identification rather than switching to greyscale.
Smart Motion Detection 4.0 (SMD 4.0)
AI-powered detection accurately classifies humans and vehicles, ignoring irrelevant triggers such as animals, swaying branches, or headlight sweeps. This dramatically reduces nuisance alerts and ensures notifications are acted upon with confidence.
Active Deterrence
Built-in red and blue flashing strobe lights combined with a siren and two-way audio can be triggered automatically on detection or manually via the app, warning intruders before an incident escalates rather than simply recording it.
ePTZ Digital Zoom & Tracking
Electronic Pan-Tilt-Zoom allows operators to digitally zoom into any region of the panoramic image and track subjects in real time, providing detailed close-up views without any mechanical components to maintain or fail.
Local & Flexible Power Options
Supports up to 256GB MicroSD card storage for on-device recording when network connectivity is interrupted. Powers via 12V DC or PoE (802.3af), giving installers flexibility to run a single cable or connect to an existing power supply.
Best For
- Driveways & Entry Points: The 180° field of view captures vehicles and pedestrians entering or leaving a property in a single frame, reducing the need for multiple cameras at the same location.
- Retail Storefronts: Active deterrence with flashing lights and a siren discourages opportunistic theft and loitering in real time, complementing traditional after-the-fact recording.
- Warehouses & Yards: Wide-angle panoramic coverage suits large open storage areas where a conventional narrow-lens camera would miss significant portions of the scene.
- Residential Perimeters: SMD 4.0 keeps homeowners alert to genuine human and vehicle intrusions without being overwhelmed by pet or environmental false alarms.
- Small Business Premises: Two-way audio and remote deterrence capability allow business owners to address situations remotely without requiring on-site security personnel.
Why Choose the DH-IPC-PDW3849-A180-AS-PV-ANZ-BLK
Standard single-lens turret cameras can only cover a narrow field of view, requiring multiple units and additional cabling to monitor wide areas adequately. The DH-IPC-PDW3849-A180-AS-PV-ANZ-BLK solves this with a dual-lens 180° panoramic design that delivers genuine situational awareness from a single install point. Unlike basic cameras that switch to black-and-white at night, TiOC 2.0 triggers its warm LED illuminator on motion, preserving full-colour detail for accurate identification of clothing, vehicle colour, and facial features. The combination of SMD 4.0 classification, active deterrence strobes, siren, and two-way audio makes this camera a proactive security tool rather than a passive recorder. Customers purchasing through Security Wholesalers receive an ANZ-localised unit backed by Australian support, ensuring compatibility with local NVRs and cloud platforms without workarounds.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: If your installation requires coverage of a wide entry such as a double garage, shopfront, or open yard perimeter, the 180° panoramic view eliminates the blind spots that a standard 90–110° single-lens camera would leave at the edges of the frame — one unit here replaces what would otherwise require 2 to 3 narrower cameras.
Buyer Tip: ePTZ functionality is useful for post-event review — operators can digitally zoom into any portion of the 180° panoramic image in playback to identify detail without having a secondary PTZ camera installed. Confirm your NVR or VMS supports ePTZ dewarping from dual-lens Dahua cameras before purchase to take full advantage of this feature.

Ideal Use Cases
Residential Driveways
The 180° panoramic view captures every angle of a driveway entry in a single frame, recording vehicle colour, registration plates, and pedestrian movement without leaving edge blind spots.
Retail Shopfronts
Active deterrence strobes and siren can be triggered when a person is detected after hours, visibly warning would-be intruders and alerting remote monitoring centres before a break-in occurs.
Warehouse & Yard Perimeters
Wide panoramic coverage reduces the camera count needed to monitor large open storage areas, lowering installation costs while maintaining full visibility across the scene.
Car Parks & Open Forecourts
Full-colour night vision ensures vehicle colours and number plates remain identifiable in low-light conditions, supporting incident investigation in environments that are poorly lit after hours.
Small Business Premises
Two-way audio and remote deterrence allow business owners to communicate with or warn people on-site via a smartphone app without needing to be physically present.
Public & Community Spaces
SMD 4.0 perimeter protection with Intrusion and Tripwire detection helps councils and facility managers monitor access points, triggering alerts only for genuine human or vehicle activity.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need to cover a wide horizontal area — such as a shopfront, driveway, or open yard — from a single camera mount point, and want active deterrence (strobes, siren, two-way audio) combined with full-colour night vision in a single unit.
- Choose a different model if: Your scene requires a narrow long-distance view (such as a corridor or long fence line) where a standard single-lens turret or bullet camera with greater focal length would provide better subject identification at range than a 2.8mm wide-angle panoramic lens.
FAQs
- What does TiOC 2.0 mean and how does it differ from a standard IP camera?
TiOC stands for Three-in-One Camera, combining full-colour imaging, smart motion detection, and active deterrence in a single device. Unlike a standard IP camera that passively records, TiOC 2.0 can detect a human or vehicle, trigger its warm LED for colour footage, flash red and blue strobe lights, and sound a siren — all automatically and in real time, without requiring a separate alarm system. - How does the 180° panoramic view work with 2 lenses?
The camera uses 2 individual 4MP image sensors behind separate lenses. The onboard processor stitches the 2 feeds together into a single seamless 180° horizontal panoramic image at 4096 × 1860 resolution, delivered as one unified stream to your NVR or viewing software. - Can I use this camera outdoors in Australian conditions?
Yes. The camera carries an IP67 ingress protection rating, meaning it is fully protected against dust and against water immersion up to 1 metre depth. It is suitable for exposed outdoor mounting in rain, humidity, and the temperature extremes typical of Australian climates. - Does SMD 4.0 really reduce false alarms, and how does it work?
SMD 4.0 uses AI classification trained to distinguish the shape, movement patterns, and thermal signatures associated with humans and vehicles. When the camera detects motion that does not match these profiles — such as a cat, a blowing leaf, or a shadow — it suppresses the alert. In practice this delivers a significant reduction in nuisance notifications compared to standard pixel-change motion detection. - What NVRs is this camera compatible with?
The DH-IPC-PDW3849-A180-AS-PV-ANZ-BLK is designed for use with Dahua NVRs that support TIOC 2.0 and dual-lens panoramic cameras. It also supports ONVIF for third-party VMS integration. Security Wholesalers stocks compatible Dahua NVRs if you need a recorder to pair with this camera. - Can I record locally if my network goes down?
Yes. The camera includes a MicroSD card slot supporting cards up to 256GB. When network connectivity to an NVR is interrupted, the camera continues recording locally to the card, which can be retrieved and reviewed once connectivity is restored. - What is the difference between the IR illumination and the warm light?
IR illumination is invisible to the human eye and produces black-and-white footage in darkness, operating up to 25m. Warm light is a visible white LED that produces full-colour footage in darkness, operating up to 20m. In TiOC 2.0 mode, the camera uses IR by default for passive monitoring and activates the warm light on motion detection to capture colour detail for identification. - Does ePTZ affect the physical camera position?
No. ePTZ is entirely electronic — it digitally crops and magnifies a portion of the panoramic image. There are no moving mechanical parts. The physical camera remains fixed in its installed position at all times, which also means there are no motors to wear out or maintain.
