Product SKU: DH-IPC-HDW3849H-ZAS-PV-BLK
Product Overview
Combining active deterrence with full-colour night vision and AI-driven detection, the IPC-HDW3849H-ZAS-PV is Dahua’s TiOC 2.0 turret camera built for installations where passive recording is not enough. This black-finish model is designed for eave, soffit, and wall mounting at entry points, driveways, commercial perimeters, and outdoor areas where a camera needs to respond to intrusions rather than simply capture them. Featuring 8MP resolution at 3840×2160, a motorised varifocal lens for remote framing adjustments, dual IR and warm white illumination up to 30 metres, and SMD 4.0 smart detection, the camera delivers precise, low-false-alarm alerts around the clock. When a target is confirmed, the built-in red and blue strobe lights and 110dB siren trigger immediately, with two-way audio available via the built-in microphone and speaker. IP67 weatherproofing and onboard MicroSD storage up to 256GB round out a camera designed for demanding outdoor conditions.



Key Capabilities
8MP Ultra HD Resolution
Recording at 3840×2160 at up to 30fps captures fine detail across wide outdoor scenes, including facial features and vehicle number plates. This level of clarity supports post-incident review with far more usable evidence than lower-resolution alternatives.
TiOC 2.0 Active Deterrence
Red and blue strobe lights, a 110dB siren, and two-way audio via the built-in microphone and speaker engage intruders the moment a detection event is confirmed. This positions the camera as an active security measure rather than a passive recording device.
Motorised Varifocal Lens
Zoom and focus are adjusted remotely via compatible software or the camera web interface, eliminating return site visits for lens tuning. For multi-camera installations or hard-to-reach mounting positions, this is a significant practical advantage over fixed-lens turret cameras.
Dual Illumination with Smart Mode
Infrared and warm white LEDs operate in tandem up to 30 metres. In the default smart mode, IR runs continuously and warm light activates only on detection, producing full-colour footage in complete darkness while limiting unnecessary light output between events.
SMD 4.0 Smart Detection
Smart Motion Detection 4.0 classifies detected objects as humans or vehicles, filtering out animals, foliage, and environmental interference. This keeps the false alarm rate below 2%, ensuring notifications remain meaningful and operators stay attentive to genuine alerts.
Onboard MicroSD Storage
Local recording via MicroSD up to 256GB continues independently of any NVR or network connection. This provides a reliable backup layer for remote sites, properties with intermittent connectivity, or situations where NVR availability cannot be guaranteed.
Best For
- Driveways and Entry Points: Active deterrence with strobe, siren, and two-way audio engages intruders approaching gates, doors, and driveway entries before incidents develop.
- Commercial Yard and Perimeter Monitoring: Tripwire and intrusion detection with human and vehicle classification provides precise perimeter alerts for warehouses, loading areas, and open yards with low false alarm overhead.
- Multi-Site Installer Projects: The motorised varifocal lens removes the need for on-camera manual adjustments after mounting, enabling coverage to be dialled in remotely across multiple locations from a single management interface.
- Remote or Off-Grid Properties: MicroSD storage up to 256GB records locally when NVR connectivity is lost or unavailable, making this a practical fit for rural or infrastructure-limited sites.
- Dark Fascia Installations: The black finish integrates cleanly against dark soffits, timber cladding, charcoal render, and modern architectural surfaces where a white camera housing would stand out.
Why Choose the IPC-HDW3849H-ZAS-PV
Most turret cameras at this price point record what happens. The IPC-HDW3849H-ZAS-PV is built to intervene before an incident progresses. The TiOC 2.0 platform integrates strobe deterrence, a 110dB siren, and two-way audio directly into the camera body, removing the need for separate external devices to achieve an active response. The motorised varifocal lens separates this model from fixed-lens turrets, allowing installers to adjust framing remotely after installation without revisiting the site. SMD 4.0 detection keeps false alarm rates below 2%, so the deterrence system triggers on confirmed human or vehicle detections rather than wind, foliage, or passing animals. Onboard MicroSD storage up to 256GB provides a local recording fallback that most simpler cameras do not offer. This camera is available through Security Wholesalers as part of the Dahua TiOC 2.0 WizSense lineup, supplied in black finish for installations requiring a discreet or architecturally matched profile.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: This model carries a 4 to 8 week lead time. If your installation has a firm completion date, confirm current stock availability before placing an order. For time-critical projects, contact the team early to avoid scheduling delays caused by supply lead times.
Buyer Tip: This is the black-finish variant of the IPC-HDW3849H-ZAS-PV. Before cabling and mounting, confirm the finish matches your installation surface. Swapping colour variants after cable routing through walls or soffits adds significant rework time, and the white and black variants are separate SKUs.

Ideal Use Cases
Residential Entry Points
Active deterrence with red and blue strobe lights and a 110dB siren responds immediately when SMD 4.0 confirms a human or vehicle detection at gates, front doors, and driveway entries, providing a visible and audible response without operator involvement.
Warehouse and Yard Perimeters
Tripwire and intrusion detection with human and vehicle classification provides accurate boundary monitoring for commercial yards, loading areas, and storage sites, keeping false alarm rates low while ensuring genuine perimeter breaches trigger an immediate response.
Retail Car Parks
8MP resolution captures number plate and facial detail across open areas, and the motorised varifocal lens allows coverage zones to be adjusted remotely as layout requirements or monitoring priorities change over time.
Remote and Rural Properties
MicroSD storage up to 256GB records continuously and independently of any NVR or network connection, preserving footage at remote properties where infrastructure is unreliable or internet connectivity is intermittent.
Construction and Temporary Sites
IP67 weatherproofing combined with active deterrence and intelligent perimeter detection suits semi-permanent installations at construction sites where plant, materials, and equipment require after-hours protection.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: Your installation requires 8MP resolution, TiOC 2.0 active deterrence with strobe and siren, full-colour dual illumination, a motorised varifocal lens for remote framing, SMD 4.0 AI detection, and a black finish for compatibility with dark architectural surfaces.
- Choose a different model if: Your project has a fixed and immediate deadline, as this camera carries a 4 to 8 week lead time. If active deterrence is not required for your application, a standard WizSense turret camera without the TiOC 2.0 platform may suit the project at a lower cost.
FAQs
- What does TiOC 2.0 mean in practical terms for an outdoor installation?
TiOC stands for Three-in-One Camera. The 2.0 platform integrates 24/7 full-colour monitoring, active deterrence using strobe lights and a siren, and AI-based detection into a single unit. For outdoor installations, this means a confirmed human or vehicle detection can immediately trigger a visual and audio warning without relying on a separate alarm panel, external speaker, or additional devices. - Does the motorised varifocal lens need to be adjusted physically on the camera body?
No. Zoom and focus are adjusted remotely via the camera’s web interface or compatible VMS software. This is particularly useful for cameras mounted high on eaves, soffits, or walls where physical access is awkward, allowing precise framing to be achieved from ground level after the camera is in place. - How does the dual illumination system work and when does colour night vision activate?
The camera runs IR continuously in the default smart mode and switches on the warm white LEDs only when a detection event is confirmed. This produces full-colour footage at the moment of detection up to 30 metres without illuminating the scene constantly. Operators can also set the camera to IR-only or white light-only modes depending on the site requirements. - Can the two-way audio be used to speak directly to someone at the camera location?
Yes. The built-in microphone and built-in speaker support real-time two-way talk via a compatible app or management platform. This allows operators or homeowners to communicate through the camera with visitors or to verbally challenge intruders during a detection event, in addition to the automatic siren and strobe response. - What is SMD 4.0 and why does the false alarm rate matter for active deterrence cameras?
Smart Motion Detection 4.0 classifies detected objects as humans or vehicles, filtering out animals, passing headlights, and wind-driven foliage. The false alarm rate is rated under 2%. For a camera with an active deterrence system, accurate classification is critical. A siren and strobe triggering on a passing cat or a branch movement would quickly lead to the deterrence system being disabled by the occupants. - Will this camera record if the NVR goes offline or loses network connection?
Yes. The camera supports onboard MicroSD storage up to 256GB, recording locally and independently of any NVR or network connection. Footage stored on the MicroSD card remains accessible once connectivity is restored or the card is retrieved, providing a continuous recording layer for remote properties or network-dependent installations. - Is the black finish the same camera as the white variant in every other respect?
Yes. The black finish is cosmetic only. Resolution, frame rate, illumination range, active deterrence capabilities, SMD 4.0 detection, IP67 weatherproofing, storage support, and all other performance specifications are identical to the white version of the IPC-HDW3849H-ZAS-PV. The black variant is typically selected to match dark fascias, charcoal render, or timber surfaces where a white housing would be visually inconsistent. - What is the lead time for this model and how should I plan for it?
This camera carries a lead time of 4 to 8 weeks. Security Wholesalers stocks this model as part of the Dahua TiOC 2.0 range. If your installation has a fixed handover or completion date, confirm current availability before ordering and factor the lead time into your project schedule to avoid delays at the final stage of an installation.
