Product SKU: DH-IPC-HDW3549HP-AS-PV-0280B-S3
Product Overview
Combining active deterrence with full-colour night vision and AI-powered detection, the Dahua TiOC 2.0 DH-IPC-HDW3549HP-AS-PV-0280B-S3 is a 5MP turret camera built to do more than record events. Designed for eave, soffit, and wall mounting at residential driveways, shopfronts, and light commercial entry points, it uses dual illuminators reaching up to 30 metres to deliver colour footage day and night. When an intrusion or tripwire event is detected, the camera triggers red and blue strobe lights alongside an audible siren reaching 110dB, responding to threats in real time rather than simply logging them. Built-in dual microphones and a speaker enable two-way audio communication from any connected device. Smart Motion Detection 3.0 classifies humans and vehicles with a false alarm rate under 2%, keeping alerts targeted and actionable. IP67 weatherproofing, PoE or 12V DC power support, and onboard MicroSD storage up to 256GB round out a capable outdoor package suited to demanding year-round environments.







Key Capabilities
TiOC 2.0 Three-in-One Platform
Integrates full-colour surveillance, active deterrence hardware, and AI detection into a single turret body. Installers avoid sourcing and wiring separate deterrence devices, reducing installation time and long-term maintenance complexity on both residential and commercial sites.
Dual Illuminators with Smart Switching
IR and warm white LEDs each reach up to 30 metres. In Smart Illumination Mode, the camera uses IR for general monitoring and switches to white light only when a target is detected, delivering colour footage on demand while avoiding unnecessary light pollution during quiet periods.
Active Deterrence – Strobe and 110dB Siren
On detection, red and blue strobes and an audible alarm up to 110dB activate immediately. Customisable voice alerts can also be configured. The strobe pattern remains visible through rain and fog, providing a genuine on-site warning before an incident progresses rather than responding after the fact.
Two-Way Audio via Built-In Mic and Speaker
Dual built-in microphones and a built-in speaker allow real-time two-way communication directly through the camera. Operators or homeowners can address anyone on site remotely via the DMSS app, enabling verbal deterrence and visitor management without needing a separate intercom device.
Smart Motion Detection 3.0
SMD 3.0 classifies humans and vehicles while filtering animals, foliage movement, and passing headlights. With a false alarm rate below 2%, detection events that trigger the active deterrence alarm are genuinely meaningful, reducing the risk of nuisance activations at busy residential or commercial locations.
5MP Resolution with H.265+ Compression
A 1/2.7″ CMOS sensor records at up to 5MP (2592×1944). H.265+ compression reduces file sizes significantly compared to standard H.264, making the most of onboard MicroSD storage up to 256GB and lowering the network bandwidth load on connected NVR systems.
Best For
- Residential Driveways and Entry Points: The active deterrence alarm and two-way audio let homeowners challenge or warn off visitors remotely via smartphone, with full-colour night footage identifying people and vehicles at the gate.
- Small Commercial Shopfronts and Entries: After-hours AI human and vehicle detection triggers the strobe and siren on genuine intrusion events, providing a visible deterrent response without requiring a monitored alarm system upgrade.
- Low-Light Outdoor Areas: Car parks, laneways, and yards where colour identification of people and vehicles at night is critical for incident follow-up. The warm white illuminator activates on detection to deliver usable colour footage in complete darkness.
- Remote or Unattended Sites: Onboard MicroSD storage up to 256GB and PoE power allow this camera to record and deter independently at locations without permanent network monitoring or consistent connectivity to a central NVR.
- Sites Prioritising Proactive Response: Properties where the goal is to interrupt and discourage incidents as they begin, not simply capture footage of events that have already occurred. The 110dB siren and strobe combination acts immediately on confirmed detections.
Why Choose the DH-IPC-HDW3549HP-AS-PV-0280B-S3
Standard full-colour turret cameras record what happens at night in colour. This camera is built to interrupt what is happening while it is happening. The TiOC 2.0 platform puts the strobe, siren, and two-way audio directly into the turret body, so there is no need for additional deterrence hardware alongside the camera. SMD 3.0 keeps false alarm rates under 2%, which means the deterrence alarm fires when it counts rather than wearing out occupants with repeated nuisance activations. Full-colour footage at night is captured in colour that is actually useful for identification, not the monochrome output typical of IR-only cameras. The alarm input supports one-press arming and disarming for simple physical on-site control alongside the DMSS app. With IP67 weatherproofing and support for both PoE and 12V DC power, installation is flexible across a wide range of residential and commercial configurations. Available through Security Wholesalers, the DH-IPC-HDW3549HP-AS-PV-0280B-S3 suits installers and end users who need colour night vision, AI detection, and active deterrence in one compact, weatherproof unit.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: Smart Illumination Mode is the default setting and switches the warm white LED on automatically when a target is detected. If the camera is installed near a bedroom window or a sleeping area, the automatic white light activation may cause disturbance at night. Switch the camera to IR-only mode in settings to avoid this – the active deterrence alarm will still trigger its strobe and siren on confirmed events without the background illuminator activating on every detection.
Buyer Tip: The 2.8mm fixed lens provides a wide field of view suited to areas within 6 to 10 metres of the camera, such as doorways, gates, and shopfront entries. For longer-range identification requirements – such as monitoring a driveway extending beyond 15 metres or covering a wide yard – consider a model with a longer focal length or motorised varifocal lens to frame targets effectively at distance.

Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need full-colour 24/7 surveillance, active deterrence with a red/blue strobe and 110dB siren, AI human and vehicle detection, and two-way audio in a single IP67-rated turret camera with a 2.8mm wide-angle lens for outdoor residential or light commercial mounting on eaves, soffits, or walls.
- Choose a different model if: Your installation requires a varifocal or motorised zoom lens to cover longer distances or tightly frame a specific zone, a vandal-rated dome housing for recessed ceiling or public-area mounting, or you have no need for active deterrence and prefer a straightforward full-colour camera at a lower cost.
FAQs
- What does TiOC 2.0 actually mean and what makes it different from a standard IP turret camera?
TiOC 2.0 stands for Three-in-One Camera. It combines full-colour 24/7 surveillance, active deterrence hardware (strobe lights and audible siren), and AI-powered detection into a single unit. A standard IP turret camera records footage passively. This camera responds to confirmed detection events immediately with lights and audio, acting as a deterrent rather than only a recording device. - Does the camera always shine white light at night, or only when something is detected?
In the default Smart Illumination Mode, the warm white LED activates only when a target is detected. During quiet periods, the IR LED handles background monitoring without producing visible white light. This approach reduces light disturbance and power use while still delivering colour footage when it matters. You can also set the camera to IR-only or white light-only modes via settings. - How loud is the built-in siren and can the alert sound be customised?
The built-in speaker reaches up to 110dB. At this volume it is clearly audible at significant distance from the camera. You can configure the alert as a wailing siren tone or as a customisable voice warning message, giving installers and end users flexibility over how the deterrence response communicates with people on site. - Can the active deterrence alarm be triggered manually, or only by AI detection?
The alarm can be triggered automatically by AI detection events including intrusion and tripwire classification. It can also be activated remotely via the DMSS mobile app when a push notification is received. Additionally, the onboard alarm input supports one-press arming and disarming, allowing a physical button on site to arm or disarm the deterrence response without relying on app access. - What is the maximum MicroSD card this camera supports, and is it suitable as a standalone recording solution?
The camera supports MicroSD cards up to 256GB. With H.265+ compression reducing file sizes, this provides a meaningful amount of local event-based or continuous recording. For sites without an NVR, onboard storage is a practical standalone option. It also works as a backup storage layer alongside NVR recording for redundancy. - Does the intrusion and tripwire detection work for both people and vehicles?
Yes. Both intrusion detection and tripwire functions support classification of humans and vehicles separately. This allows different alarm responses to be configured for a person crossing a defined line versus a vehicle entering a restricted zone, giving more granular and useful alert management at mixed-use sites with both foot traffic and vehicle access. - Is this camera compatible with Dahua NVRs and the DMSS mobile app?
Yes. The DH-IPC-HDW3549HP-AS-PV-0280B-S3 is compatible with Dahua NVRs supporting IP camera input, and with the Dahua DMSS app for iOS and Android. DMSS provides remote live view, event playback, alarm push notifications, and two-way audio access from a smartphone. Security Wholesalers stocks a range of compatible Dahua NVRs for building a complete recording solution around this camera. - What power options are available and does PoE require a specific standard?
The camera supports both PoE via IEEE 802.3af and 12V DC power supply. IEEE 802.3af is the standard PoE specification supported by most managed and unmanaged PoE switches and Dahua PoE NVRs. A single Cat5e or Cat6 cable handles both data and power in a PoE installation, which keeps cable runs simple and avoids the need for a separate power outlet at each camera location.
