The Dahua IPC-HFW3667E-AS-IL-ANZ is a robust 6 MP bullet-style network camera from the WizSense 3 Series, engineered for reliable outdoor security and high-accuracy intelligent detection. With Smart Dual Light technology and advanced AI-based analytics, it delivers vibrant high-resolution footage—even in challenging low-light environments.
Core Capabilities
-
High-Definition Imaging: 6 MP resolution ensures sharp, detailed footage at up to 30 fps.
-
Smart Dual Light: At night, IR mode conserves light; when a person or vehicle enters the scene, warm white light activates to capture full-color imagery with precise timing.
-
Efficient Compression: Supports H.265, H.264, and SMART H.264+/H.265+ to minimize bandwidth and storage needs while maintaining quality.
-
Adaptive Imaging: Wide Dynamic Range (120 dB), 3D NR, HLC/BLC, and AI SSA automatically optimise settings across diverse environmental conditions.
Intelligent Analytics
-
Perimeter Protection: Tripwire and intrusion detection distinguish between people, vehicles, and non-relevant objects, substantially reducing false alarms.
-
Smart Motion Detection (SMD 4.0): Filters out irrelevant motion (e.g., animals), only flagging human or vehicle movements.
-
AcuPick & Smart Search: Deep learning enables rapid retrieval of event footage by target type through AI-enhanced backend tools.
Installation & Reliability
-
Resilient Design: IP67-rated metal housing withstands dust, rain, and harsh conditions. Operates in temperatures from −40 °C to +60 °C.
-
Flexible Power & Storage: Supports both PoE (IEEE 802.3af) and 12 V DC; uses up to 512 GB microSD, plus support for FTP/SFTP/NAS.
-
Audio & Alarm I/O: Built-in microphone, 1-channel alarm in/out, audio detection and tampering alarms enhance security.
-
Network & Cybersecurity: Compliant with ONVIF (S/G/T/M), supports HTTPS, certificate authentication, encrypted storage, IP filtering, syslog, and more.
️ Use Cases

Perimeter & Driveways | Intelligent detection eliminates false alerts from shadows or animals. |
Harsh Outdoor Environments | IP67 and wide voltage range ensures continued operation in all weather. |
Bandwidth-Limited Networks | Advanced compression maximizes video retention without quality loss. |
⁉️ FAQs
Q: What is “Smart Dual Light”?
A: The IR illuminator is used at night by default; when AI detects a human or vehicle within the defined area, a warm white LED lights up to capture full-color video—then IR resumes when the subject exits.
Q: What are SMD 4.0 and AcuPick?
A: SMD 4.0 (Smart Motion Detection) distinguishes humans/vehicles from irrelevant motion. AcuPick enhances retrieval by using deep learning to tag and locate specific subjects in recorded footage.
Q: Can I use PoE to power the camera?
A: Yes, it supports IEEE 802.3af PoE or 12 V DC input with auto-switching if both are connected.
Q: How long can microSD storage last?
A: It supports up to 512 GB microSD cards. Recording duration depends on bitrate and settings—using H.265+ typically enhances storage efficiency.
Q: Is it suitable for challenging lighting?
A: Absolutely—AI SSA adjusts exposure and image parameters for rain, backlight, low light or flicker, while features like WDR, BLC, and defog maintain clarity.
