Product SKU: DH-IPC-HFW3849T1-AS-PV-PRO
Product Overview
Combining active deterrence with 4K full-colour night vision in a single weatherproof bullet housing, the IPC-HFW3849T1-AS-PV-PRO is built for outdoor perimeter and access-point installations that demand more than passive recording. The 2.8 mm F1.0 fixed-focal lens captures a wide 109° horizontal field of view at 3840 x 2160 resolution, while the Smart Dual Light system pairs warm white LEDs with IR illumination, both reaching up to 50 m, for full-colour or black-and-white night footage depending on conditions and configuration. When SMD 4.0 or perimeter intrusion rules detect a person or vehicle, the camera triggers red and blue strobe lights and a built-in siren in real time without requiring human intervention. Built-in dual microphones and a speaker enable two-way talk for live verbal warnings or automated audio responses. Rated IP67 and operational from -40 degrees C to +60 degrees C, this camera suits year-round permanent outdoor installation across Australian residential, commercial, and industrial sites.
Key Capabilities
8MP 4K Resolution
The 1/1.8″ CMOS sensor records at 3840 x 2160 at up to 30 fps, providing enough detail for operator review at the camera’s 8.2 m DORI identification distance. Licence plates and individual features are captured with significantly greater clarity than lower-resolution bullet alternatives.
Smart Dual Light – Warm White and IR
Warm white LEDs deliver full-colour night footage up to 50 m, while IR LEDs provide black-and-white coverage at the same distance. Both modes are configurable independently or on a schedule, giving installers flexibility to match the lighting strategy to the site without adding external lights.
Active Deterrence – Strobe and Siren
On detection of a valid intrusion event, the camera activates red and blue strobe lights and a built-in siren to immediately confront and deter the intruder. This on-camera response removes the need for a separate siren or floodlight device and reduces the delay between detection and action.
SMD 4.0 Human and Vehicle Classification
Smart Motion Detection 4.0 filters detected motion by object type, classifying events as human or vehicle and discarding triggers from animals, foliage, rain, and lighting changes. This keeps recording and alert queues focused on events that genuinely require a response rather than flooding operators with noise.
Two-Way Audio
Built-in dual microphones and a speaker support full two-way talk via a compatible NVR or mobile app. Operators can issue live verbal warnings to individuals on site, or automated audio messages can be configured to trigger on detection events, adding an audible deterrence layer without extra hardware.
Ultra-Low Light Sensitivity
The F1.0 aperture and 0.0008 lux minimum illumination in colour mode mean the camera captures usable colour video before the warm LEDs even activate. This preserves scene integrity in near-total darkness and is particularly useful for dimly lit yards, laneways, and car parks with minimal ambient light.
Best For
- Perimeter and Fence Lines: The 109° wide field of view and 50 m dual-light illumination cover long stretches of fencing or building perimeters, with active deterrence triggered automatically when intrusion is detected.
- Commercial and Industrial Yards: IP67 protection, a -40 degrees C to +60 degrees C operating range, and on-camera active deterrence suit outdoor storage yards, loading docks, and industrial facilities running around the clock.
- Retail Fronts and Car Parks: Full-colour night imaging captures licence plates and individual details in poorly lit areas after dark, while the strobe and siren actively discourage loitering and after-hours break-ins.
- Residential Driveways and Gates: Two-way talk and active deterrence let residents communicate with or warn off individuals at entry points remotely through a connected NVR or mobile app without needing separate intercom hardware.
- Community and Estate Entrances: 4K resolution combined with human and vehicle classification delivers evidence-quality monitoring at shared entry points for gated estates, apartment complexes, and managed properties.
Why Choose the IPC-HFW3849T1-AS-PV-PRO
Standard outdoor bullet cameras record what happens. The IPC-HFW3849T1-AS-PV-PRO is engineered to intervene before a situation escalates. The combination of 4K imaging, Smart Dual Light reaching 50 m, SMD 4.0 human and vehicle classification, perimeter intrusion detection, and on-camera strobe and siren deterrence consolidates what would otherwise require multiple devices into a single IP67-rated bullet housing. The F1.0 aperture and 0.0008 lux colour sensitivity ensure the camera is already capturing usable imagery before its warm LEDs activate, maintaining evidence quality without overexposing scenes. Edge recording via microSD up to 512 GB provides a local backup layer independent of network connectivity. For installers and end users sourcing through Security Wholesalers, this model delivers deterrence-capable 4K surveillance without the added cost or complexity of pairing a standard camera with separate siren hardware or supplementary lighting. The PoE+ power option also simplifies single-cable installation across most professional deployments.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: This camera requires PoE+ (802.3at), not standard PoE (802.3af). When running warm light, strobe, and siren simultaneously, power draw over PoE can reach 15.1 W per port. Before purchasing, confirm that each port on your switch or NVR provides sufficient PoE+ budget, as standard PoE switches capped at 15.4 W total per port may not reliably sustain full feature operation alongside other draws.
Buyer Tip: The 2.8 mm lens provides a wide 109° horizontal field of view and a DORI identification distance of 8.2 m. This is well suited to open areas and wide coverage scenarios. If the primary goal at a specific location is identifying individuals at distances greater than 10 m, a narrower focal length may be a better fit for that position before committing to this lens option.

Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need 4K outdoor bullet coverage with full-colour night vision up to 50 m, on-camera active deterrence including strobe and siren, two-way audio, SMD 4.0 false alarm filtering, and local edge storage all in a single IP67-rated housing.
- Choose a different model if: Your site requires identifying individuals beyond 8.2 m without supplementary optical zoom, or your switch or NVR only provides standard PoE (802.3af) ports rather than PoE+ (802.3at), as this camera requires the higher power standard to run all features reliably.
FAQs
- Does this camera record colour video at night?
Yes. The built-in warm white LEDs illuminate scenes up to 50 m in full colour during darkness. When warm light is not active, the IR LEDs provide black-and-white coverage at the same distance. Both modes are configurable, and the camera can switch automatically based on ambient light levels or event triggers set in the configuration. - How does the active deterrence system work on the IPC-HFW3849T1-AS-PV-PRO?
When a configured perimeter intrusion or tripwire event is detected, the camera immediately activates its red and blue strobe lights, warm light flash, and built-in siren. The response is automated and does not require an operator to be monitoring live. Trigger conditions and deterrence behaviour are configurable through the camera’s web interface or a compatible NVR. - What does SMD 4.0 do and how does it reduce false alarms?
SMD 4.0 analyses motion events and classifies detected objects as human or vehicle. Triggers caused by animals, blowing foliage, rain, insects near the lens, or shifting shadows are discarded before they generate a recording event or push notification. This keeps the alert and recording queue focused on events that genuinely require a response. - Does this camera support two-way audio?
Yes. The camera includes built-in dual microphones and a built-in speaker, enabling real-time two-way communication. Operators can speak directly to individuals on site through a compatible NVR interface or mobile app. Automated pre-recorded audio warnings can also be configured to play on event trigger, adding an audible deterrence response without manual intervention. - What power supply does the IPC-HFW3849T1-AS-PV-PRO require?
The camera operates on 12 V DC or PoE+ (802.3at). Standard PoE (802.3af) is not sufficient. When running warm light, strobe, and siren simultaneously, power consumption over PoE can reach 15.1 W. Before installation, confirm that each port on your switch or NVR provides 802.3at PoE+ with enough per-port budget to sustain maximum load. - How much onboard storage does it support, and is it useful as a standalone recorder?
The camera accepts a microSD card up to 512 GB for local edge recording. This supports continuous or event-based recording directly on the camera, which provides a useful backup layer if network connectivity to an NVR is lost. It does not replace a dedicated NVR for multi-camera management but adds resilience for individual critical positions. - Is this camera suitable for permanent outdoor installation in Australia?
Yes. The IP67 rating protects against complete dust ingress and water immersion, and the operating temperature range of -40 degrees C to +60 degrees C covers the full span of Australian climates from alpine winters to outback summer heat. No additional weatherproofing is required for standard outdoor wall or pole mounting. - Where is this camera available in Australia?
The IPC-HFW3849T1-AS-PV-PRO is available through Security Wholesalers, which stocks a full range of Dahua IP cameras and accessories for trade and retail customers across Australia.
