Dahua DH-IPC-HDW3466EMP-S-AUS, SMD 4.0 Full Metal 4MP WizSense Starlight Eyeball Network Camera Fixed 2.8mm
The Dahua DH-IPC-HDW3466EMP-S-AUS is a 4 MP WizSense Starlight eyeball camera in a full-metal IP67 housing. It uses a fixed 2.8 mm lens, reaches a strong 50 m with its infrared illuminator and adds SMD 4.0 human and vehicle classification plus a built-in microphone. The low-profile eyeball form factor is quick to install on a wall, eave or ceiling.

§ 01Overview
What the DH-IPC-HDW3466EMP-S-AUS is
The Dahua DH-IPC-HDW3466EMP-S-AUS is a 4 MP WizSense Starlight eyeball built for straightforward, durable outdoor and indoor coverage.
It captures 2688 x 1520 detail and uses a fixed 2.8 mm lens for a wide view of a doorway, driveway or room.
SMD 4.0 classifies human and vehicle targets, so motion alarms and perimeter rules such as tripwire and intrusion stay focused on real activity.
Its infrared illuminator reaches a strong 50 m, which is well ahead of many compact cameras, giving clear black-and-white night coverage over a long approach.
Starlight technology holds colour into low light before the infrared takes over, 120 dB WDR balances bright and dark areas, and a built-in microphone records audio.
The full-metal housing is rated IP67 against dust and rain, and the camera is available in white or black to suit the building.
Two honest notes that correct some listings: this is a fixed 2.8 mm lens camera, not a motorised varifocal, so the field of view is set at install and it does not zoom.
And it has a built-in microphone but no speaker, so it records audio rather than offering two-way talk.
Power it from PoE or 12 VDC and record it to a Dahua WizSense NVR.
