Product SKU: DH-IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV-PRO-ANZ
Product Overview
Combining active deterrence with full-colour night vision and 4K AI detection, the DH-IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV-PRO-ANZ is a turret-style camera built for eave, soffit, and wall mounting at locations where passive recording alone is not enough. Featuring Dahua’s TiOC 2.0 platform with AcuPick, SMD 4.0, and WizSense, this unit accurately distinguishes people and vehicles from irrelevant motion, reducing false alerts to under 2%. Smart dual illumination automatically switches between infrared and warm white light across a 30m range, delivering full-colour footage when a target is detected and discreet IR imaging otherwise. A 110dB siren, red/blue strobe, and built-in microphone and speaker enable real-time two-way audio and immediate on-detection warnings without requiring any additional hardware. With a 2.8mm fixed lens producing 3840 x 2160 imagery, IP67 weatherproofing, and IK10 vandal resistance, it suits a wide range of demanding installation environments.
Key Capabilities
8MP 4K Resolution
At 3840 x 2160, this camera captures sufficient detail for facial identification and vehicle recognition across the full 2.8mm wide-angle field of view, making it well suited to entry points, driveways, and shopfronts where subject identification is a priority.
AcuPick AI Target Detection
AcuPick uses on-camera AI to isolate humans and vehicles from background motion such as foliage, animals, and passing headlights. False alarm rates drop to under 2%, and event playback can be filtered by target type, saving time during incident reviews and reducing unnecessary alert fatigue.
Smart Dual Illumination
The camera switches automatically between infrared and warm white light depending on detection status and scene conditions. This delivers full-colour imaging when it is most needed while conserving illumination energy during quiet periods, across a 30m coverage range.
Active Deterrence: Siren and Strobe
On confirmed detection, the camera triggers a red/blue strobe light and a 110dB siren or custom audio message. This on-camera response requires no central panel or external sounder, making it practical for standalone deployments at unmanned sites, perimeter gates, and after-hours locations.
Two-Way Audio
With a built-in microphone and speaker, the DH-IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV-PRO-ANZ supports live two-way voice communication via the Dahua mobile app. This allows operators to issue verbal warnings, speak with visitors, or respond to incidents in real time from any location.
IP67 and IK10 Rated Housing
The turret housing carries full IP67 dust and water ingress protection alongside IK10 impact resistance. This combination means the camera can withstand direct water exposure and deliberate physical tampering, extending its suitability beyond sheltered eaves to fully exposed outdoor wall mounts.
Best For
- Driveways and Front Entryways: Full-colour night vision, 4K clarity, and two-way audio let property owners see and communicate with anyone approaching after dark, while active deterrence triggers on unauthorised detection.
- Retail Shopfronts and Car Parks: AcuPick human and vehicle detection with sub-2% false alarm rates delivers actionable alerts during and after trading hours without overloading staff or monitoring teams.
- Unmanned Sites and Perimeter Gates: The 110dB on-camera siren and strobe allow the camera to act as both detector and deterrent without requiring an additional alarm panel or security guard presence on site.
- Schools, Offices, and Construction Sites: PoE connectivity, mobile app arming, and rugged IP67/IK10 housing suit both permanent installations and temporary deployments in exposed or semi-finished environments.
Why Choose the DH-IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV-PRO-ANZ
Most turret cameras in this resolution class record footage and send motion alerts. The DH-IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV-PRO-ANZ goes considerably further by integrating a 110dB siren, red/blue strobe, and built-in speaker directly into the camera body, so a confirmed detection triggers an immediate physical response without any external hardware. AcuPick AI keeps that response precise: rather than firing on every shadow or moving branch, the camera targets confirmed humans and vehicles, making it far more useful in real-world outdoor conditions where background motion is constant. The smart dual illumination system adds further value by producing full-colour imagery at the moment it matters most. MicroSD local storage up to 256GB means the camera keeps recording even if the network or NVR goes offline. Available through Security Wholesalers as part of the Dahua TiOC 2.0 range, this model includes ANZ-specific firmware and local warranty coverage.

Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: The 2.8mm fixed lens gives a wide field of view suited to shorter-range coverage zones such as driveways, entryways, and retail floors. If your installation requires coverage across a longer approach or a narrower corridor at distance, consider whether a longer focal length would better match the scene geometry before purchasing this model.
Buyer Tip: Active deterrence scheduling and one-click arming via the alarm input allow you to limit siren and strobe activation to specific time windows. Set deterrence to operate only during after-hours periods to avoid triggering the 110dB siren during business hours when authorised staff are on site.

Ideal Use Cases
Residential Driveways and Gates
Smart dual illumination switches to warm white on detection, giving homeowners full-colour footage of anyone approaching after dark. Two-way audio allows real-time communication via mobile app without needing to approach the gate or door.
Retail Shopfronts and Entrances
4K resolution and AcuPick detection support accurate identification of individuals near entry doors and registers. After-hours deterrence with siren and strobe provides a proactive layer of protection without requiring staff on site.
Warehouses and Logistics Yards
Vehicle and human detection triggers targeted push alerts and on-camera deterrence, keeping large partially unmanned areas monitored overnight without relying on guard patrols or a central alarm panel.
Schools and Office Car Parks
After-hours arming via the alarm input or mobile app enables the siren and strobe to activate automatically when the site is unoccupied, deterring vandalism and unauthorised access without on-site intervention.
Construction Sites
PoE connectivity and MicroSD local storage allow this camera to operate on temporary network infrastructure, continuing to record locally if the network drops. IP67 and IK10 ratings handle dust, rain, and physical impact common on active construction sites.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need a single turret camera that combines 4K resolution, on-camera active deterrence (110dB siren and strobe), full-colour night vision, two-way audio, and AcuPick AI detection in a weatherproof and vandal-resistant housing for indoor or outdoor mounting.
- Choose a different model if: Your coverage zone requires a longer focal length than 2.8mm to identify subjects at distance, active deterrence is not a requirement and a standard AI turret would cover the same brief at lower cost, or your installation is purely indoor with no need for IK10 vandal resistance.
FAQs
- What is the difference between AcuPick and standard motion detection on this camera?
Standard motion detection triggers on any pixel change in the frame, including wind-blown foliage, insects near the lens, and passing vehicle headlights. AcuPick uses on-camera AI to confirm the target is a human or vehicle before raising an alert, reducing false activations to under 2%. It also tags events with target metadata, enabling fast playback filtering during incident reviews. - Does the active deterrence trigger automatically or does someone need to activate it manually?
Both modes are available. The siren and strobe can be configured to trigger automatically when AcuPick confirms a human or vehicle detection, making it fully autonomous for unmanned sites. Manual triggering via the Dahua mobile app is also supported, along with scheduled arming windows so deterrence only activates during designated after-hours periods. - What is smart dual illumination and when does it switch between IR and white light?
Smart dual illumination uses the camera’s detection logic to decide which light source to use. During quiet periods, infrared provides discreet night vision without emitting visible light. When AcuPick confirms a target is present, the camera can switch to warm white illumination to produce full-colour footage of the subject. Both light sources cover up to 30m. - Can this camera record locally without an NVR?
Yes. The built-in MicroSD slot supports cards up to 256GB, allowing the DH-IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV-PRO-ANZ to record continuously or on detection locally without any network video recorder. Pairing it with a compatible Dahua WizSense NVR extends functionality to include centralised AI event search, multi-camera management, and full AcuPick playback tools. - Is this camera suitable for eave and soffit mounting on a standard residential home?
Yes. The turret housing is designed for eave and soffit mounting and includes IP67 weatherproofing, making it suited to exposed residential overhangs. The 2.8mm wide-angle lens covers typical driveway and frontage widths from standard eave heights, and PoE power means only a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable needs to run to the mounting point. - Does ONVIF compatibility allow full AI features on third-party NVRs?
The camera supports ONVIF for basic interoperability with third-party NVR brands, covering live view and standard recording. However, AcuPick event search, SMD 4.0 alert categorisation, active deterrence scheduling, and one-click arming are only fully supported when used with a compatible Dahua WizSense NVR. A third-party NVR will not expose these AI features in its interface. - Where can I purchase the DH-IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV-PRO-ANZ in Australia?
This camera is available through Security Wholesalers, stocking the full Dahua TiOC 2.0 range with Australian warranty coverage and local support. The ANZ model designation confirms the unit ships with ANZ-specific firmware, which is important for compliance with local frequency and software requirements and for accessing Australian after-sales service.
