Product SKU: DH-IPC-HFW3849T1-AS-PV-ANZ
Product Overview
Combining active deterrence with full-colour Starlight night vision, the Dahua TiOC Advanced 2.0 DH-IPC-HFW3849T1-AS-PV-ANZ moves beyond passive recording to actively interrupt intrusions as they happen. Housed in a fixed bullet enclosure rated IP67, this camera is built for wall or eave mounting at outdoor perimeter points — driveways, yard entries, loading areas, and retail frontages — where a visible deterrent presence matters as much as image quality. Equipped with a 2.8mm fixed lens, it captures 8MP UHD footage at 3840 × 2160 across a broad field of view, with dual warm white and IR illuminators delivering full-colour or infrared imagery to 30m. It also integrates SMD 4.0 AI to classify humans and vehicles separately from irrelevant triggers, keeping alert volumes manageable. Built-in dual microphones and a speaker support full-duplex two-way audio, enabling remote operators to communicate directly through the camera — without additional audio hardware on site.
Key Capabilities
8MP UHD Full-Colour Imaging
A 1/2.8″ CMOS sensor captures 3840 × 2160 resolution at up to 30fps, providing enough pixel density to identify faces, read number plates, and retain forensic detail across the wide 2.8mm field of view — in colour, day and night.
TiOC 2.0 Dual-Light Smart Illumination
Warm white and IR LEDs operate independently or together to 30m. The Smart Illumination system automatically activates full-colour warm light during motion events and falls back to invisible IR during quiet periods, preserving colour evidence without permanently lighting the scene.
Red and Blue Strobe with Audible Siren
When AI detection confirms a human or vehicle crossing a defined zone, the camera immediately triggers flashing red and blue warning lights and an audible siren or custom voice message — creating an active on-site response without requiring a guard or monitoring centre to intervene first.
SMD 4.0 AI Classification
Smart Motion Detection 4.0 distinguishes humans and vehicles from animals, foliage movement, rain, and shadows before generating an alert. Intrusion detection and tripwire crossing are supported, so alarms are tied to specific zone behaviours rather than general pixel changes.
Full-Duplex Two-Way Audio
Dual built-in microphones and a speaker provide full-duplex two-way talk, allowing a remote operator to issue live verbal instructions, acknowledge a delivery, or warn an intruder directly through the camera — without needing a separate intercom or PA system at that location.
IP67 Housing with Local Storage
The IP67-rated bullet enclosure withstands dust ingress and sustained water exposure, suitable for exposed outdoor mounting in Australian conditions. A MicroSD slot supports up to 256GB of onboard recording, providing a local backup layer at sites where continuous NVR connectivity cannot be guaranteed.
Best For
- Residential Driveways and Gate Entries: The 2.8mm wide-angle lens captures the full width of most residential approaches, while TiOC 2.0 dual-light technology ensures colour footage and active deterrence lights respond to unauthorised approach at night.
- Retail Shopfronts and After-Hours Coverage: 8MP resolution retains identifiable detail of individuals and vehicles in the frame, and the strobe-and-siren response creates an immediate visible barrier against opportunistic after-hours activity.
- Construction Sites and Equipment Yards: AI intrusion and tripwire detection at unmanned perimeters triggers instant deterrence when workers are absent, addressing the risk of after-hours theft across open and unsecured boundaries.
- Warehouse Loading Docks and Yard Entries: Full-colour UHD footage logs vehicle movements and personnel access at entry points, with two-way audio enabling remote gatekeeping from a control room or mobile device.
- Remote and Off-Grid Properties: MicroSD local recording up to 256GB retains footage independently of network connectivity, with 12V DC or PoE power options giving installers flexibility at sites without existing cabling infrastructure.
Why Choose the DH-IPC-HFW3849T1-AS-PV-ANZ
Most outdoor cameras observe and record — the DH-IPC-HFW3849T1-AS-PV-ANZ is engineered to intervene. The TiOC 2.0 platform ties together 8MP full-colour imaging, SMD 4.0 AI classification, and real-time active deterrence in a single fixed bullet body, removing the need to combine separate deterrent devices with a standard camera. The red and blue strobes and programmable siren create a psychological barrier at the point of detection, while two-way audio gives operators a live voice on site — a combination that a basic IR bullet camera simply cannot replicate. The ANZ-specific variant ensures local regulatory compliance and full Australian warranty support. Available through Security Wholesalers, this model suits installers and property owners who need a proactive perimeter response rather than evidence-only recording, particularly at sites where after-hours staffing is not feasible.
Buyer Decision Tips
Lens Coverage: The 2.8mm fixed lens delivers a wide field of view suited to open areas, gate entries, and broad frontages — it cannot be adjusted post-installation. If your site requires coverage of a specific point at longer range, or a narrow lane where a tighter angle would eliminate surrounding clutter, a varifocal bullet camera will offer more installation flexibility. For most standard outdoor perimeter positions, the 2.8mm coverage is well matched to the camera’s 30m illumination range.
Power and Active Deterrence Triggers: This camera supports PoE (IEEE 802.3af) and 12V DC, giving flexibility across new and existing cable runs. Note that active deterrence events can be triggered automatically via AI detection or manually via one-click arming through compatible Dahua NVRs and management software — confirm your NVR or VMS supports TiOC 2.0 event handling to get the full benefit of the deterrence functionality.

Ideal Use Cases
Driveway and Property Entry Monitoring
The 2.8mm wide-angle lens covers the full width of most residential driveways and gate openings. TiOC 2.0 dual-light activates full-colour warm illumination on motion detection, giving clear colour footage of approaching individuals alongside an immediate active deterrence response.
Retail Shopfront and After-Hours Security
8MP resolution captures identifiable facial and vehicle detail at night under warm white illumination, while the red and blue strobes and siren trigger a visible on-site deterrent before a break-in attempt can progress.
Construction Site and Equipment Yard Perimeters
SMD 4.0 intrusion and tripwire detection at after-hours perimeters triggers instant strobe-and-siren deterrence when the site is unstaffed, addressing equipment theft and vandalism without requiring a physical security presence overnight.
Warehouse and Loading Dock Entries
Full-colour UHD footage logs vehicle activity and personnel access at dock entries, with two-way audio enabling a control room operator to remotely manage access, direct drivers, or challenge unauthorised visitors without leaving the monitoring station.
Apartment Complex Common Entries
Two-way audio allows building managers to communicate with residents and visitors remotely through the camera, while SMD 4.0 filters out irrelevant motion in high-traffic shared spaces, keeping alert volumes at a manageable level for the monitoring team.
Remote and Rural Properties
Onboard MicroSD recording to 256GB retains footage locally at properties where internet connectivity is limited or intermittent. PoE or 12V DC power options provide installation flexibility across sites without established infrastructure near the camera position.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need proactive active deterrence with red and blue strobes and an audible siren, full-colour 8MP night vision via TiOC 2.0 dual light, two-way audio communication, and SMD 4.0 AI filtering — all in a fixed wide-angle bullet body for outdoor perimeter use.
- Choose a different model if: Your installation requires adjustable zoom to cover a specific distant point, or if you do not need active deterrence and would prefer a standard full-colour or IR bullet camera at a lower price point. A varifocal lens model will also suit narrow approaches or corridors where a 2.8mm field of view captures too much surrounding area.
FAQs
- How does the active deterrence system actually work when an intruder is detected?
When SMD 4.0 identifies a human or vehicle crossing a defined intrusion zone or tripwire, the camera immediately triggers its red and blue flashing strobe lights and activates the audible siren or a pre-configured custom voice warning. This occurs on-device without requiring a monitoring centre to approve the response, so the deterrence happens in real time at the moment of detection rather than after a review delay. - Can the strobe lights and siren be manually activated by an operator?
Yes — the DH-IPC-HFW3849T1-AS-PV-ANZ supports one-click arming, which allows an operator viewing the live feed via a compatible Dahua NVR or management application to manually trigger the active deterrence response on demand. This is useful in situations where an operator spots a developing situation and wants to intervene before an AI detection event fires. - What field of view does the 2.8mm lens provide, and is it suitable for a standard driveway?
A 2.8mm fixed lens produces a wide field of view, typically covering the full width of a standard residential driveway or single-lane entry when mounted at a height of 2.5–3.5m. It is well matched to the camera’s 30m dual-light illumination range for open outdoor perimeter positions. The lens cannot be adjusted after installation, so sites needing tighter framing at longer distances are better served by a varifocal model. - Does this camera record in colour at night, or only in black and white?
It records in full colour at night using the built-in warm white illuminator, which reaches up to 30m. The TiOC 2.0 Smart Illumination system can operate in full-colour warm light mode, IR-only mode for invisible night vision, or an intelligent auto-switch mode that activates warm light during detected motion events and returns to IR during quiet periods. All 3 modes are configurable. - What does SMD 4.0 do differently to standard motion detection?
Standard pixel-change motion detection triggers on any movement in the frame — shadows, passing headlights, blowing leaves, or small animals. SMD 4.0 uses AI classification to evaluate detected objects and only generates an alert when a human or vehicle is confirmed. This distinction means the active deterrence system fires on genuine events rather than environmental noise, keeping false alarm rates low across an outdoor perimeter installation. - Is this camera compatible with third-party NVRs and VMS platforms?
The DH-IPC-HFW3849T1-AS-PV-ANZ uses standard ONVIF and RTSP protocols, making it accessible to a wide range of third-party NVRs and VMS platforms for live view and basic recording. However, TiOC 2.0 active deterrence event handling, one-click arming, and SMD 4.0 alarm integration function fully only through compatible Dahua NVRs and Dahua management software. Confirm TiOC 2.0 compatibility with your chosen recorder before installation if these features are a priority. - Does the camera require a separate power supply if I am using PoE?
No — PoE (IEEE 802.3af) delivers both data and power over a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable, eliminating the need for a separate 12V DC power supply at the camera position. This simplifies cable runs for new installations considerably. The camera also supports 12V DC power for retrofits into existing systems where a separate power supply is already in place near the mounting position. - Is a MicroSD card included, and how much footage does 256GB hold?
A MicroSD card is not included — the camera provides the slot and supports up to 256GB capacity, but the card must be purchased separately. Storage duration at 256GB depends on resolution, frame rate, and recording mode, but at continuous 8MP recording it typically provides several days of footage. Security Wholesalers can advise on compatible card options to pair with this camera. For longer retention, connecting the camera to a Dahua PoE NVR with dedicated HDD storage is recommended alongside or instead of local MicroSD recording.
