Key Capabilities
TiOC 2.0 Three-in-One Technology
Integrates full-colour 24/7 monitoring, active deterrence, and AI detection into a single device. This eliminates the need for separate deterrence hardware, reducing installation complexity and ongoing maintenance costs for both residential and commercial sites.
Full-Colour Night Vision to 30m
Dual illuminators — IR LED and warm white LED — provide up to 30 metres of illumination. Smart mode automatically switches between IR and white light when a target is detected, delivering colour footage throughout the night without constant light pollution.
Active Deterrence — Red/Blue Strobe & Siren
On detection, the camera triggers red and blue flashing lights and an audible alarm up to 110dB. The high-visibility strobe is effective even in fog and rain, actively discouraging intruders before an incident occurs rather than simply recording it.
Two-Way Audio with Dual Microphones
Built-in dual microphones and a speaker allow real-time two-way communication directly from the camera. This enables operators or homeowners to speak to anyone on site remotely via a mobile app, adding an interactive layer of security and management.
Smart Motion Detection 3.0 (SMD 3.0)
AI-driven SMD 3.0 accurately identifies humans and vehicles while ignoring animals, leaves, and passing headlights. With a false alarm rate kept under 2%, monitoring teams and homeowners receive only meaningful alerts, dramatically reducing alarm fatigue over time.
5MP Resolution with H.265+ Compression
A 1/2.7″ CMOS sensor delivers up to 5MP (2592×1944) resolution with H.265+ compression, providing sharp, detailed footage while significantly reducing storage and bandwidth requirements compared to standard H.264 encoding.
Best For
- Residential Driveways & Entry Points: The active deterrence and two-way audio allow homeowners to challenge visitors or warn off intruders directly from a smartphone, day or night.
- Small Commercial Premises: Retail shops, warehouses, and service yards benefit from the AI human/vehicle detection and siren alarm, reducing after-hours break-in risk without requiring a full alarm system upgrade.
- Low-Light Outdoor Areas: Car parks, laneways, and poorly lit yards where full-colour night footage is essential for identifying people and vehicles in security incidents.
- Remote or Unattended Sites: With onboard MicroSD storage up to 256GB and PoE power, this camera can operate and record independently, making it suitable for locations without constant network monitoring.
- Properties Requiring Proactive Security: Sites where deterring incidents before they happen is more valuable than passive recording — the strobe and siren combination acts as an immediate visible and audible warning.
Why Choose the DH-IPC-HDW3549HP-AS-PV-0280B-S3
A basic IP turret camera can record what happens — this camera is designed to stop it from happening in the first place. The TiOC 2.0 platform adds active deterrence directly into the camera body, meaning you get a strobe alarm, audible siren, and two-way audio without needing to purchase and install separate deterrence devices. The SMD 3.0 AI engine keeps false alarms exceptionally low, so the deterrence triggers only when it genuinely matters. Full-colour night vision ensures footage captured at night is actually useful for identification purposes, rather than the grainy monochrome images typical of standard IR-only cameras. The IP67 rating and support for both PoE and 12V DC make installation straightforward across a wide range of setups. Available through Security Wholesalers, this model suits installers and end users who want a single, capable device that handles colour night vision, intelligent detection, and active deterrence without compromise.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: This camera’s Smart Illumination Mode is set as default, automatically switching between IR and warm white light when a target is detected. If you are installing in a location where any supplementary white light is unwanted — such as near a bedroom window — switch the camera to IR-only mode via the settings to avoid light disturbance while still retaining colour capability when the deterrence alarm is triggered.
Buyer Tip: The onboard alarm input supports one-press arming and disarming, which is useful for installations where a simple physical button is preferred over app-based control. Plan your cabling to allow for this input if you want to offer clients a straightforward on-site arming option without relying solely on a smartphone app.

Industrial outdoor areas with poor lighting benefit from 30m full-colour illumination and intrusion/tripwire AI detection to protect stock and equipment overnight.
Construction Sites
Remote or unmanned construction sites can use onboard MicroSD storage and PoE power with the active deterrence alarm to protect equipment and materials without requiring a full security guard presence.
Car Parks & Common Areas
High foot-traffic areas benefit from accurate human/vehicle detection and full-colour footage that aids in incident investigation and supports liability management for body corporates and commercial operators.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need a single camera that combines full-colour night vision, active deterrence with strobe and siren, AI human/vehicle detection, and two-way audio in one IP67-rated turret body — particularly for outdoor residential or light commercial use with a 2.8mm wide-angle view.
- Choose a different model if: Your installation requires a varifocal lens for longer-range identification, a dome form factor for vandal resistance, or you do not need active deterrence features and prefer a simpler full-colour camera at a lower price point.
FAQs
- What is TiOC 2.0 and how does it differ from a standard IP camera?
TiOC 2.0 stands for Three-in-One Camera and integrates full-colour 24/7 surveillance, active deterrence (strobe and siren), and AI-powered detection into one device. A standard IP camera typically only records — TiOC 2.0 actively responds to detected threats by triggering lights and audio alerts, making it a proactive security tool rather than a passive recording device. - Does this camera record colour footage at night without any visible light?
No — to capture colour footage at night, the camera requires light. It uses its built-in warm white LED illuminator to produce colour footage in darkness. In Smart Illumination Mode (default), the warm light activates automatically when a target is detected. In IR Mode, only the IR illuminator is on, producing standard monochrome night footage. - How loud is the built-in siren?
The built-in speaker alarm reaches up to 110dB. At this volume, it is clearly audible at significant distances and is designed to be genuinely startling and effective as a deterrent. You can also configure customisable voice alerts or a wailing siren tone depending on your preferred deterrence approach. - Can the active deterrence alarm be triggered manually or only automatically?
The alarm can be triggered automatically via AI detection events such as intrusion or tripwire. It can also be triggered remotely via the mobile app with real-time alarm push notifications. Additionally, the alarm input supports one-press arming and disarming, allowing physical on-site control. - What is the maximum MicroSD card size supported?
The camera supports MicroSD cards up to 256GB. This provides a meaningful amount of onboard local storage for continuous or event-based recording, which is useful for locations where network recording to an NVR is not available or as a backup storage option alongside NVR recording. - Is this camera compatible with Dahua NVRs and the DMSS app?
Yes, the DH-IPC-HDW3549HP-AS-PV-0280B-S3 is compatible with Dahua NVRs and the Dahua DMSS mobile app. The DMSS app provides remote live view, playback, alarm notifications, and two-way audio access. Security Wholesalers stocks compatible Dahua NVRs if you need to build a complete recording solution around this camera. - What power options are available for this camera?
The camera supports both PoE (Power over Ethernet via the network cable) and 12V DC power supply. PoE is the most convenient option for new installations as it eliminates the need for a separate power run to each camera, with a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable handling both data and power. - Does the intrusion and tripwire detection only work on humans, or does it also detect vehicles?
Both the intrusion detection and tripwire functions support accurate classification of humans and vehicles. This means you can configure separate alarm responses for human intrusions versus vehicle entries, providing more granular and useful alert management for sites with mixed foot and vehicle traffic.
