Product SKU: DH-IPC-PDW3849-A180-AS-PV-ANZ
Product Overview
Covering a full driveway width, broad shopfront, or open yard perimeter from a single camera position is where the DH-IPC-PDW3849-A180-AS-PV-ANZ sets itself apart from conventional turret cameras. Built around 2 spliced 2.8mm fixed lenses, this TiOC 2.0 panoramic turret outputs a continuous 4096 x 1860 panoramic stream at 8MP, delivering a 180° horizontal field of view from one wall-mounted unit and one network connection. Dual illumination combines warm white LEDs reaching 20m with IR LEDs reaching 25m, and the camera selects between full-colour and infrared night vision automatically based on ambient light. TiOC 2.0 active deterrence equips the unit with red and blue warning lights and an onboard siren, both of which can be triggered automatically by SMD 4.0 human and vehicle detections. Built-in dual microphone and speaker enable two-way audio communication via the DMSS app or a connected NVR. Rated IP67, ePTZ navigation across the full panoramic frame, and Micro SD storage up to 256GB round out the feature set for outdoor installations across residential and commercial sites.
Key Capabilities
Dual-Lens 180° Panoramic Splicing
Two 2.8mm optical modules are processed and stitched in real time into a single seamless 4096 x 1860 panoramic stream. This means a wide driveway, shopfront, or loading dock frontage that would normally require 2 cameras can be monitored from 1 unit, 1 cable run, and 1 NVR channel.
TiOC 2.0 Active Deterrence
Red and blue strobe warning lights and an audible onboard siren activate automatically when SMD 4.0 detects a human or vehicle within the defined detection zone. On unmanned sites such as construction compounds or after-hours commercial yards, this provides a visible and audible response without requiring a person to be present.
Dual Illumination – Full Colour and IR
Warm white LEDs illuminate to 20m for full-colour night footage, while IR LEDs extend to 25m when additional range is needed. The camera switches between these modes automatically based on available ambient light, capturing colour detail such as clothing or vehicle colour at entry points without manual adjustment.
SMD 4.0 Human and Vehicle Classification
Smart Motion Detection 4.0 uses shape-based AI classification to separate genuine human and vehicle movement from false triggers caused by animals, swaying vegetation, or passing headlights. This keeps alarm linkage rules and deterrence triggers focused on events that actually warrant a response.
Two-Way Audio Communication
A built-in dual microphone and speaker allow live two-way voice communication through the DMSS app or a connected NVR. Property owners or security personnel can issue real-time voice warnings to individuals on site or verify activity remotely without a separate intercom device being required at that location.
ePTZ Digital Navigation
Electronic pan, tilt, and zoom lets operators crop into any section of the high-resolution 8MP panoramic frame without physically moving the camera. Because the source resolution is 4096 x 1860, zooming into a sub-region still retains workable detail for post-event investigation or monitoring a specific zone within the wide view.
Best For
- Wide Driveways and Front Boundary Monitoring: The 180° horizontal field of view captures the full width of a driveway, street frontage, and adjacent pedestrian approaches from a single wall-mounted position, eliminating the angular blind spots that affect standard single-lens turrets at broad entry points.
- Sites Requiring Automatic Active Deterrence: Properties with after-hours intrusion risk benefit from the TiOC 2.0 siren and warning lights, which activate automatically when SMD 4.0 identifies a person or vehicle, providing a deterrence response without a human operator needing to intervene.
- Retail and Commercial Frontages: Covers the full width of a shopfront, forecourt, or outdoor service area from a single overhead mounting point, reducing installation complexity while retaining the 8MP resolution needed to review specific individuals or incidents using ePTZ.
- Remote and Unmanned Locations: Micro SD storage up to 256GB, two-way audio via DMSS, and support for FTP, SFTP, and NAS storage allow this camera to operate effectively at sites where continuous NVR connectivity is not guaranteed and remote communication is needed.
Why Choose the DH-IPC-PDW3849-A180-AS-PV-ANZ
A conventional single-lens turret typically spans 90° to 110° horizontally. The DH-IPC-PDW3849-A180-AS-PV-ANZ stretches that to a full 180° from a single camera body and a single PoE connection, cutting hardware count and NVR channel usage for wide-zone coverage. That coverage advantage is layered on top of a full TiOC 2.0 feature set: automatic deterrence with red and blue warning lights and an onboard siren, full-colour night vision to 20m, IR to 25m, SMD 4.0 AI classification, two-way audio, ePTZ navigation, and IP67 weather resistance. Entry-level turret cameras do not offer this combination in a single unit. The active deterrence, panoramic splicing, and AI detection all work together under one device, one configuration point, and one power feed. This model is available at Security Wholesalers as part of the Dahua TiOC 2.0 WizSense range, with local stock and technical support for Australian installers and end users.
Buyer Decision Tips
Mounting Position: The 180° panoramic splicing on this camera is calibrated for flat wall-plane installation at a height of approximately 2.5 to 3.5 metres, with the lens facing directly outward from the mounting surface. Corner or angled installations will distort the panoramic geometry and can introduce misalignment at the stitch join. For symmetrical coverage, mount the camera centrally above the monitored area rather than at an oblique angle to it.
NVR Compatibility and Deterrence Setup: Before purchasing, confirm that your Dahua NVR supports dual-lens panoramic decoding for this specific camera model, as not all NVR firmware versions handle the 4096 x 1860 stream correctly by default. Additionally, the siren and warning lights are not active out of the box. Alarm linkage rules must be configured through the NVR interface or DMSS app during commissioning to enable automatic deterrence on SMD 4.0 detection events.

Ideal Use Cases
Residential Driveways and Front Entries
A single unit mounted above a garage or on a front wall captures the full driveway width, gate approach, and street frontage simultaneously. The 180° panoramic view removes the side-angle blind spots that standard turret cameras mounted in the same position cannot avoid.
Retail Storefronts and Entry Forecourts
The full width of a shopfront or outdoor entry zone is covered from a single overhead mounting point. The 8MP base resolution means ePTZ can be used to review specific individuals or incidents in post-event investigation without losing workable detail when zooming into a sub-region of the panoramic frame.
Construction Sites and Vacant Properties
After-hours intrusion detection is supported by SMD 4.0 human classification and TiOC 2.0 deterrence, which triggers the siren and warning lights automatically when a person is detected. Local Micro SD storage up to 256GB allows the camera to record independently of a network connection at unmanned locations.
Warehouse Perimeters and Loading Zones
Extended roller door frontages, loading dock approaches, and flat perimeter walls benefit from the 180° horizontal coverage, reducing the number of camera positions needed to achieve complete visibility along a building face. Vehicle detection via SMD 4.0 supports after-hours deterrence at these zones.
Schools, Childcare and Community Facilities
Wide drop-off zones, playground entries, and pedestrian corridors are captured fully from a single mounting point using the 180° panoramic view. Two-way audio via the integrated microphone and speaker also supports real-time communication at entry points without requiring a separate intercom device.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: Your installation requires broad horizontal coverage from a single unit – such as a full driveway width, wide shopfront, or open yard perimeter – and you need active deterrence with siren and warning lights, two-way audio, and full-colour night vision all built into one IP67-rated camera on a single network connection.
- Choose a different model if: Your target area is a narrow or deep zone such as a corridor, stairwell, or single doorway, where a standard single-lens fixed turret or bullet camera will deliver greater optical resolution across the working distance without the panoramic processing overhead. The dual-lens splicing design on this model is not suited to narrow or angled fields of view.
FAQs
- How does the dual-lens splicing produce a single 180° panoramic image?
The camera houses 2 separate 2.8mm optical modules positioned side by side. Each lens captures its own wide-angle image, and the onboard processor stitches the 2 feeds together in real time to output a single continuous 4096 x 1860 panoramic stream. Under normal flat-wall installation conditions, the resulting image covers the full 180° horizontal arc with no visible join. - Does the 180° panoramic view work correctly from a corner or angled mounting position?
No. The panoramic splicing is engineered for flat wall-plane installation, where the camera faces directly outward from a single surface. Mounting at a corner or at an oblique angle to the monitored area will skew the panoramic geometry and can introduce distortion at the stitch point. For correct 180° coverage, mount the unit centrally on a flat wall, ideally at a height of 2.5 to 3.5 metres, facing straight out across the zone to be monitored. - Will any Dahua NVR display and record the full 8MP panoramic stream from this camera?
Not necessarily. A Dahua NVR must support dual-lens panoramic decoding to correctly display and record the full 4096 x 1860 stream. Not all NVR models or firmware versions handle this format by default. Before purchasing, verify your NVR’s compatibility with this specific camera model through Dahua’s product documentation or your local supplier. - Do the active deterrence siren and warning lights turn on automatically?
The siren and red and blue warning lights are not active out of the box. To enable automatic deterrence, alarm linkage rules must be configured in the NVR interface or DMSS app during commissioning. Once set up, these features trigger automatically when SMD 4.0 classifies a human or vehicle within the defined detection zone, with no manual intervention needed at the time of an event. - What is the night vision range, and does the camera capture colour footage in the dark?
Warm white LEDs illuminate to 20m for full-colour night vision, and IR LEDs extend to 25m. When the warm light activates in low ambient light, the camera captures full-colour footage to 20m. In conditions where only IR illumination is active, footage is in black and white. The camera switches between these modes automatically based on detected light levels, requiring no manual adjustment. - Can this camera record locally if the network connection is lost?
Yes. The DH-IPC-PDW3849-A180-AS-PV-ANZ supports a Micro SD card up to 256GB for on-board local recording, which continues independently if the network is interrupted. FTP, SFTP, and NAS are also supported as additional network storage options, making this camera well suited to remote or unmanned sites where continuous NVR connectivity cannot be guaranteed. - Where can this camera be purchased in Australia, and is local support available?
The DH-IPC-PDW3849-A180-AS-PV-ANZ is available through Security Wholesalers as part of the Dahua TiOC 2.0 WizSense range. Local stock is held in Australia, and technical support is available for both installers and end users, including guidance on compatible Dahua NVRs and accessories for this panoramic camera type.
