The Dahua TIOC 2.0 IPC-HFW3849T1-AS-PV-S3 delivers 8MP full-colour imaging in a compact AI bullet camera designed for residential and commercial security applications. Featuring a 2.8mm fixed lens, hybrid IR and warm white LEDs provide full-colour illumination up to 30 metres, maintaining vivid detail in complete darkness. Equipped with active deterrence, the camera combines red and blue strobe lights with a built-in siren to warn and deter intruders in real time. It also includes SMD 3.0 for accurate human and vehicle classification, a built-in microphone and speaker for two-way audio, and AI H.265+ compression with local MicroSD storage up to 256GB.
Key Features
8MP Ultra HD Sensor: 1/2.8″ CMOS delivers 3840×2160 resolution at 30fps, including in challenging low-light conditions.
Full-Colour Night Vision: Hybrid IR and warm white LEDs provide up to 30m full-colour illumination in complete darkness.
Active Deterrence: Red and blue strobe lights combined with a built-in siren actively warn and deter intruders in real time.
Two-Way Audio: Built-in microphone and speaker enable live voice communication and remote audio monitoring.
Smart Motion Detection Plus: SMD 3.0 accurately classifies human and vehicle targets to significantly reduce false alarms.
AI H.265+ Compression: Reduces bandwidth and storage requirements while supporting local MicroSD recording up to 256GB.
Combining active deterrence with full-colour 24/7 night imaging, the Dahua TiOC 2.0 IPC-HFW3849T1-AS-PV-S3 is an 8MP IP bullet camera built for perimeter and outdoor installations where passive recording alone is not enough. The 1/2.8″ CMOS sensor delivers 3840×2160 resolution at 30fps, while dual illumination – warm light LEDs and IR – provides full-colour footage up to 30 metres in complete darkness, capturing clothing colours, facial detail, and vehicle characteristics that greyscale IR cameras cannot. The fixed 2.8mm lens produces an approximately 102° horizontal field of view, suited to entry points, driveways, shopfronts, and construction site perimeters. When SMD 3.0 detects a confirmed human or vehicle target, the camera responds with red and blue strobe warning lights and a built-in siren, turning detection into an immediate, visible deterrent. Two-way audio via the built-in microphone and speaker extends that response capability remotely. IP67-rated housing ensures suitability for exposed Australian outdoor environments.
Key Capabilities
8MP Full-Colour 24/7 Imaging
The 1/2.8″ CMOS sensor captures 3840×2160 at 30fps with a minimum illumination of 0.005 Lux. Warm light LEDs produce full-colour footage around the clock, providing the detail needed to identify individuals and vehicles even in zero ambient light conditions.
Dual Illumination with Smart Switching
IR and warm white LEDs operate together or independently, with the camera switching automatically based on scene conditions. Fixed illumination modes are also available, allowing installers to match the lighting approach to site requirements without ongoing manual adjustment.
Active Deterrence: Strobe and Siren
Red and blue strobe lights combined with a built-in siren activate upon confirmed target detection, creating an immediate visible and audible warning on site. This response occurs without requiring an operator to be present or monitoring, making it effective for unmanned locations outside business hours.
SMD 3.0 AI Target Classification
Smart Motion Detection Plus accurately separates human and vehicle targets from environmental noise such as foliage movement, animals, and weather. This reduces nuisance alerts significantly and ensures that deterrence actions and operator notifications are triggered only by genuine events.
Two-Way Audio
The built-in microphone and speaker support real-time voice communication in both directions. Property owners or security personnel can speak directly to individuals on site via the Dahua mobile app, enabling remote verbal warnings or visitor management without a physical presence.
Flexible Local Storage and Compression
AI H.265+ and H.264+ compression reduces bitrate and storage requirements during low-activity periods without meaningful quality loss. MicroSD support up to 256GB enables standalone recording, useful for sites with limited or no NVR infrastructure.
Best For
Construction and Industrial Perimeters: After-hours monitoring with automatic strobe and siren deterrence enables remote response to unauthorised access without requiring overnight security staff on site.
Retail Shopfronts and Commercial Entrances: Full-colour 8MP imaging captures usable detail of faces, clothing, and vehicles at close to medium range, while active deterrence manages after-hours loitering and access attempts.
Warehouse and Storage Facility Perimeters: SMD 3.0 keeps false alarm rates low in busy outdoor environments, ensuring that deterrence actions and mobile alerts occur only for genuine human or vehicle detections.
Residential Driveways and Gate Entries: The 102° field of view covers wide entry points, and two-way audio allows homeowners to communicate with or warn individuals at the property boundary directly from a smartphone.
Sites with No Monitoring Centre: One-tap arming via the Dahua mobile app and autonomous deterrence triggering make this camera functional as a standalone active security layer without requiring 24/7 monitoring staff.
Why Choose the IPC-HFW3849T1-AS-PV-S3
Where most bullet cameras capture an incident after it begins, the IPC-HFW3849T1-AS-PV-S3 is engineered to interrupt it before it escalates. The TiOC 2.0 platform brings together three capabilities that are typically found only in separate systems: full-colour 8MP imaging via a 1/2.8″ CMOS sensor, SMD 3.0 AI classification to keep alerts meaningful, and active deterrence through red and blue strobe lights and a built-in siren. Unlike standard IR bullet cameras that produce greyscale night footage, this model delivers colour video at 0.005 Lux, meaning individuals remain identifiable in low light. The fixed 2.8mm lens provides a wide 102° horizontal field of view suited to entrances and open approaches. MicroSD support up to 256GB and AI H.265+ compression reduce ongoing infrastructure costs. Available through Security Wholesalers as part of the Dahua TiOC 2.0 range, this model suits any site where deterrence and image quality carry equal weight.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: The 2.8mm fixed lens on this model provides a wide 102° horizontal field of view, making it most effective at close to medium range for entries, gates, and building faces. If your target area is a narrow corridor, long driveway requiring tighter framing, or a scene demanding adjustable focal length after installation, a motorised varifocal bullet in the same TiOC 2.0 family would give you more installation flexibility. Confirm your scene width and mounting distance before selecting focal length.

Choose a different model if: You require a longer focal length or motorised varifocal lens to cover a narrow scene or adjust framing after installation, need a turret or dome form factor for ceiling or soffit mounting, or only need passive recording without active deterrence features.
FAQs
What does TiOC 2.0 mean and how does it affect how this camera behaves? TiOC stands for Three-in-One Camera, referring to the integration of full-colour imaging, dual illumination, and active deterrence in a single unit. In the IPC-HFW3849T1-AS-PV-S3, the TiOC 2.0 platform means these three functions are coordinated: when SMD 3.0 classifies a human or vehicle target, the camera can simultaneously trigger the strobe lights, sound the siren, and push a notification to the mobile app without requiring a separate controller or NVR action.
Does the active deterrence trigger automatically, or does someone need to activate it manually? Both options are available. The camera can be configured to trigger the red and blue strobe lights and built-in siren automatically upon a confirmed SMD 3.0 human or vehicle detection. It also supports manual one-tap arming and deterrence activation via the Dahua mobile app, giving operators the choice of autonomous or operator-initiated response depending on the site’s requirements.
What is the difference between the IR and warm light illumination on this camera, and when does each activate? IR LEDs produce infrared light invisible to the human eye, used for discreet night monitoring. Warm light LEDs produce visible white light that illuminates the scene in colour. In the default smart switching mode, the camera uses IR for ambient monitoring and automatically activates warm light when a target is detected, producing colour footage at the moment it matters most. Both can also be set to operate continuously or independently via configuration.
Can this camera record independently without an NVR? Yes. The IPC-HFW3849T1-AS-PV-S3 supports MicroSD cards up to 256GB for local recording, allowing it to operate as a standalone unit without a connected NVR. For centralised management, extended storage, and full access to TiOC 2.0 event-based recording features, pairing with a compatible Dahua NVR is recommended.
Is the 2.8mm fixed lens appropriate for a long driveway or narrow approach? The 2.8mm lens provides an approximately 102° horizontal field of view, which is wide and well suited to covering broad entry points, building facades, and open approaches at close to medium range. For a narrow or long driveway where you need tighter framing at distance, a longer focal length lens would be more appropriate. Confirm mounting distance and scene width before specifying this model for corridor-style coverage.
What compression formats does the IPC-HFW3849T1-AS-PV-S3 support, and how do they affect storage? The camera supports H.265, H.264, Smart Codec AI H.265+, and AI H.264+. The AI smart codec options reduce bitrate dynamically during periods of low scene activity, lowering storage consumption and network bandwidth requirements without impacting image quality during active periods. This is particularly useful for sites using MicroSD local storage or connections with limited upload speeds.
What third-party systems is this camera compatible with? The IPC-HFW3849T1-AS-PV-S3 supports ONVIF and RTSP protocols, enabling basic integration with many third-party video management systems. For access to the full TiOC 2.0 feature set including coordinated active deterrence triggers, event-based recording, and SMD 3.0 alert management, pairing with a Dahua WizSense NVR is recommended. Contact Security Wholesalers for guidance on compatible recorder models and system configurations.
What ingress protection rating does this camera carry, and is it suitable for exposed outdoor Australian conditions? The camera is rated IP67, meaning it is fully dustproof and protected against temporary water immersion. This makes it suitable for exposed outdoor mounting in locations subject to rain, humidity, and dust, including coastal and high-rainfall environments. The IP67 rating does not cover sustained submersion, but for standard outdoor wall and eave mounting it provides a sufficient protection level for Australian conditions.
