Product SKU: DH-IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV-ANZ-BLK
Product Overview
Combining active deterrence with full-colour night vision in a compact turret housing, the IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV-ANZ-S2-BLK is a TiOC 3.0 camera built for eave, soffit, and wall mounting at residential and commercial sites. The black finish integrates naturally into dark architectural surfaces where a white housing would stand out, making it a practical choice for modern homes, retail facades, and commercial builds with dark cladding. Featuring 8MP resolution at 3840×2160, smart dual illumination that switches between infrared and warm white LED based on motion detection, and a built-in 110dB speaker with red and blue strobe lights, this camera responds to intrusions rather than simply recording them. SMD 4.0 AI classifies humans and vehicles with a false alarm rate under 2%, and dual built-in microphones with an integrated speaker enable real-time two-way communication. The 2.8mm fixed lens suits close to mid-range outdoor coverage across driveways, shopfronts, and yard entry points.


Key Capabilities
8MP UHD Resolution
Recording at 3840×2160 and up to 30fps, this camera captures sufficient detail to identify faces and read number plates at typical driveway and entry distances. The high pixel count also provides more usable digital zoom headroom when reviewing recorded footage after an event.
Smart Dual Illumination
In default Smart mode, the camera runs on infrared only and triggers the warm white LED when a person or vehicle is detected. This approach maintains full-colour footage at the moments that matter while avoiding constant floodlighting that may disturb neighbours or draw attention to the camera position.
Active Deterrence
On detection, the camera activates red and blue strobe lights and a 110dB speaker alarm with configurable audio options including wailing siren and recorded voice messages. This turns the camera from a passive recorder into a visible and audible warning system at the moment an intruder enters the scene.
SMD 4.0 AI Filtering
Smart Motion Detection 4.0 distinguishes humans and vehicles from animals, foliage, and passing headlights, keeping the false alarm rate under 2%. This means active deterrence triggers when it should and push notifications remain meaningful rather than becoming background noise that owners start ignoring.
Two-Way Audio
Dual built-in microphones and an integrated speaker allow real-time voice communication through the Dahua app. Property owners can warn visitors, manage deliveries, or speak with staff on site without being physically present, adding a communication layer that purely visual cameras do not offer.
AcuPick Smart Search
When connected to a compatible Dahua 5 Series NVR, AcuPick allows post-event footage search by attribute such as vehicle colour. This cuts the time required to locate a specific incident from hours of recordings down to seconds, which is particularly valuable for retail and commercial sites with high foot traffic.
Best For
- Residential Driveways and Entry Points: The 2.8mm wide-angle lens and full-colour night vision cover the typical width of a driveway or front path, capturing approaching vehicles and pedestrians in usable colour detail from the moment motion is detected.
- Retail Storefronts After Hours: SMD 4.0 filters out traffic and other non-target motion so the strobe and siren activate only on genuine person detections, making it practical for unattended shopfronts and loading areas where frequent false alarms would render the system unusable.
- Modern Black Facade Installations: The black housing blends into dark-coloured eaves, feature walls, and contemporary cladding where a standard white camera would create a visible contrast that disrupts the building’s appearance.
- Remote and Investment Properties: Real-time push notifications, one-tap app arming and disarming, and two-way audio allow owners to monitor and respond to events at properties they cannot physically attend on short notice.
- Dahua 5 Series NVR Installations: Sites running a compatible Dahua 5 Series NVR gain access to AcuPick attribute search, extending the investigation capability of the system beyond standard timeline-based footage review.
Why Choose the IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV-ANZ-BLK
A standard 8MP turret camera captures what happens on site. The TiOC 3.0 IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV-ANZ-S2-BLK in black goes further by responding to intrusions in real time through AI-triggered illumination, 110dB audio alarms, and visible red and blue strobe lights that warn intruders before an incident escalates. SMD 4.0 keeps the false alarm rate under 2%, so the deterrence system engages when it counts rather than on every passing shadow. The black housing is a meaningful practical difference for installers and property owners fitting cameras to dark fascias, charcoal cladding, or modern architectural exteriors where the white variant would look mismatched. Onboard microSD support means the camera can also operate standalone without a recorder for simpler deployments. Available through Security Wholesalers, this model delivers professional-grade active deterrence at a price point that makes it accessible for residential customers and small business owners who would otherwise need a monitored alarm service to achieve a comparable deterrence outcome.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: AcuPick attribute search requires pairing with a compatible Dahua 5 Series NVR. If your existing recorder is an older or entry-level Dahua model, AcuPick will not be available even though the camera supports it. Confirm your NVR model before purchasing if attribute-based footage search is a priority for your installation.
Buyer Tip: The 2.8mm fixed lens provides a wide field of view suited to entry distances of approximately 10-15 metres for useful facial detail. If your site has a long narrow driveway, a fence line, or a corridor where the subject will be further away, a longer focal length variant will deliver more identifiable detail at that distance. Assess your site layout before committing to the 2.8mm option.

Ideal Use Cases
Home Driveways
The 2.8mm wide-angle lens covers the full width of a standard residential driveway, while smart dual illumination switches to full-colour white light when a vehicle or person is detected, providing colour-accurate footage at the moment of approach rather than monochrome infrared imagery.
Retail Shopfronts
After-hours person detections trigger strobe lights and the 110dB alarm, warning potential intruders before entry is attempted. SMD 4.0 ensures the deterrence only activates on genuine human or vehicle detections, not passing traffic or ambient environmental movement.
Light Industrial Yards
IP67 weatherproofing protects the camera in dust, rain, and temperature extremes common to outdoor industrial environments. AI filtering prevents the high volume of environmental movement in yards and loading areas from overwhelming the detection system with irrelevant alerts.
Remote Property Monitoring
Real-time push notifications and two-way audio through the Dahua app allow owners of holiday homes, rural properties, or investment properties to receive alerts and communicate directly with anyone on site from a remote location without requiring an on-site security presence.
Contemporary Architecture
The black housing suits installations on dark-coloured eaves, charcoal cladding, shadow-line fascias, and modern commercial facades. Where aesthetics are part of the brief, the black variant avoids the visual contrast that a white camera creates against a dark surface.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need a black-finish TiOC 3.0 turret camera with 8MP resolution, active deterrence via strobe and speaker, full-colour night vision, two-way audio, and SMD 4.0 AI filtering for a home, retail, or light commercial outdoor installation.
- Choose a different model if: Your site requires a longer focal length than 2.8mm for coverage of extended distances, a white housing to match an existing camera installation, a camera without active deterrence for a lower-profile deployment, or an IK-rated vandal dome for a surface where tampering is a specific concern.
FAQs
- What does TiOC 3.0 mean and what does it add over a standard IP turret camera?
TiOC stands for Three-in-One Camera and refers to the integration of full-colour monitoring, active deterrence, and AI detection in a single unit. Unlike a standard IP turret that records passively, a TiOC 3.0 camera such as the IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV-ANZ-S2-BLK activates strobe lights and a 110dB speaker alarm when a person or vehicle is detected, responding to the event as it happens rather than simply archiving footage for later review. - Will the alarm and strobe trigger every time a car drives past or an animal enters the frame?
No. SMD 4.0 AI filters human and vehicle detections from animals, foliage movement, and car headlights, achieving a false alarm rate under 2%. The active deterrence functions are tied to human and vehicle classification, which means the strobe and siren will not activate for a neighbourhood cat, a blowing branch, or passing headlights on an adjacent road. - Can I mount this camera on a soffit or eave and still get full weatherproof protection?
Yes. The IP67 rating confirms the camera is dust-tight and protected against water immersion, making it suited to exposed eave and soffit positions subject to rain, humidity, and dust. The turret housing allows the camera head to be angled independently of the mount base, which helps with precise aim adjustment after the base is fixed in position. - What illumination modes are available and can I disable the white light if I do not want it?
The camera offers 3 configurable illumination modes. Smart Illumination Mode is the default and switches from infrared to white light upon a person or vehicle detection. IR Mode operates on infrared only with no white light activation. White Light Mode runs the warm white LED continuously for constant full-colour recording. All 3 modes are configurable through the camera settings, so the white light can be disabled entirely if preferred. - What NVR do I need to use AcuPick, and will it work with my existing recorder?
AcuPick attribute search requires a compatible Dahua 5 Series NVR. It is not supported on older Dahua recorder ranges or entry-level models. If you are adding this camera to an existing system, confirm your NVR model number against Dahua’s 5 Series compatibility list before purchasing if AcuPick is a feature you intend to use. - Does this camera support two-way audio, and how is it accessed?
Yes. The camera includes dual built-in microphones and an integrated speaker, allowing real-time two-way voice communication in both directions. Two-way audio is accessed through the Dahua app and is useful for managing deliveries, communicating with staff on site, or issuing a verbal warning to an intruder without needing to be physically present at the property. - Can I run this camera without a NVR using only the microSD slot?
Yes. The onboard microSD card slot allows the camera to record locally without a NVR, which suits standalone deployments such as a single entry camera at a remote property or a temporary installation. Note that AcuPick smart search is only available when the camera is paired with a compatible Dahua 5 Series NVR, so standalone microSD recording does not provide that feature. - Where is the IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV-ANZ-S2-BLK available for purchase in Australia?
The Dahua TiOC 3.0 IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV-ANZ-S2-BLK black edition is part of the Security Wholesalers range and is available for order online. Professional installation services for residential and commercial sites are also available in Sydney and Melbourne for customers who require end-to-end setup rather than a self-install approach.
