§ 01Overview

What this product is

Lens: 2.8mm.

The DH-IPC-HFW3849T1P-AS-PV-0280B-S3 is the earliest generation of Dahua's 8MP TiOC bullet still in the range — the cheapest path into light-and-siren deterrence at this resolution. The response package works as TiOC always has: cross a tripwire or intrusion zone and the red and blue lights flash, the speaker plays a siren or voice warning, and the warm light switches the recording to full colour. The 8MP F1.0 sensor rates 0.004 lux with 30 metres each of infrared and warm light.

Its age shows in the intelligence, and it's worth being plain about: SMD 3.0 filters humans and vehicles with more false alerts than the current SMD 4.0, there is no AcuPick or AI SSA, and the dual mics record audio without live two-way talk. One-tap disarming still runs from the DMSS app, with a wired arm/disarm option through the alarm input.

Where it earns a place: multiplying a per-camera saving across a large perimeter, or matching existing S3 units. For a new system of two or three cameras, the step up to the ANZ generation (SMD 4.0, two-way talk) or the current S2 (plus AcuPick) is usually money well spent. PoE-powered, IP67, -40°C to +60°C, ONVIF conformant with Milestone listed.

§ 02Engineering

Technical specifications

- Siren and Light Active Deterrence: red and blue lights plus voice alarms through the built-in speaker when a tripwire or intrusion zone is crossed.
- 8MP F1.0 Sensor: 3840 × 2160 with colour rated to 0.004 lux — the night numbers haven't changed across generations.
- Smart Dual Illuminators: 30m infrared everyday; the warm light fires on motion and records in full colour.
- SMD 3.0 Filtering: human and vehicle classification — the earliest AI generation in the range, without AcuPick or AI SSA.
- One-Tap Disarming: stand the lights and siren down from the DMSS app, or via the wired alarm input.
- IP67 Bullet Housing: rated -40°C to +60°C, ONVIF conformant with Milestone support.

§ 04Why choose this

Built for the way you actually use it

01

The cheapest way to put lights and a siren on a wall

The strobes, voice warnings and warm-light capture that define TiOC are all here — at the lowest price in the 8MP bullet range.

02

Night numbers that never aged

0.004 lux at F1.0 with 30m illuminators matches every later generation — Dahua upgraded the AI over the years, not the optics.

03

Savings that multiply

On a six or eight camera perimeter, the per-unit gap to the current generation funds an extra camera or a bigger drive.

04

Know what you're giving up

Honest guidance: SMD 3.0 means more false alerts, and there's no two-way talk or AcuPick. For small systems, the ANZ generation closes most of that gap for a modest step.

§ 05Where it fits

Right at home in these scenarios

01

Large perimeter on a budget

Eight positions of light-and-siren deterrence where the per-camera saving funds the drive upgrade the system actually needs.

02

Matching existing S3 cameras

Same generation, same menus, same alert behaviour on the recorder — no mixed-AI quirks.

03

Sheds and outbuildings

Secondary structures where deterrence presence matters more than search convenience — the lights and voice warning don't know they're the budget model.

04

Third-party VMS sites

ONVIF conformance with Milestone listed suits recorders outside the Dahua ecosystem, where AcuPick wouldn't have worked anyway.

Installation & setup

01

What's in the Box

1. Dahua DH-IPC-HFW3849T1P-AS-PV-0280B-S3 Camera × 1 2. Power Connector × 1 3. Quick Start Guide × 1

02

Installation Requirements

1. Power: any 802.3af PoE NVR port or switch (4.3W typical, 8.2W max with the lights and speaker running). A separate 12V DC adapter is only needed without PoE. 2. Network: a wired Ethernet run back to your NVR or switch — PoE carries power and video together on the same line. 3. Mounting: solid wall or pole with the body aimed along the line you're guarding. The optional PFA130-E junction box keeps the connection weatherproof.

03

App Setup

1. Download the DMSS app, create an account and scan the device QR code. 2. Enable push notifications, and keep the one-tap disarm switch handy for expected visitors. 3. Draw tripwire and intrusion zones tight to your own property through the camera's web interface — the warning voice, light behaviour and schedules live there too.

§ 07Questions

Frequently asked

Q.01

What do the newer generations add over this S3?

The ANZ (TiOC 2.0) steps up to SMD 4.0 filtering and adds live two-way talk. The S2 (TiOC 3.0) adds AcuPick search support, AI SSA and a 512GB SD ceiling on top. The lights, siren voices, warm light and 0.004 lux sensor are common to all three.
Q.02

How do the deterrence features actually work?

When someone crosses a tripwire or enters an intrusion zone you've drawn, the camera reacts on the spot: the red and blue lights flash, the built-in speaker plays a siren or voice warning, and the warm light switches on so the whole event records in full colour. It ships with multiple warning voices and supports importing your own recordings.
Q.03

Can I turn the lights and siren off when I don't want them?

Yes — one-tap disarming in the DMSS app pauses event linkage while you're expecting visitors, the web interface schedules deterrence by time of day or sets light-only, and a wired arm/disarm option runs through the alarm input.
Q.04

Will the siren and strobes annoy my neighbours?

They can if zones are drawn carelessly — this is a camera that reacts out loud. Draw tripwires and intrusion zones tight to your own property so footpath traffic never triggers them, schedule sound off overnight, or run light-only mode. If the camera would face a shared driveway or a tight terrace street, the quieter 3866 WizSense turret records the same AI events without the theatrics.
Q.05

How far can it see at night?

The F1.0 lens records colour down to 0.004 lux. In full darkness the infrared illuminator covers 30 metres; when motion triggers the warm light, the scene records in full colour to the same 30 metres.
Q.06

Does SMD 3.0 still filter out animals and weather?

It classifies humans and vehicles and filters most non-targets, but it's the earliest AI generation in the range — expect more false alerts from edge cases like headlight sweeps and large birds than SMD 4.0 lets through. Pairing with an AI NVR improves results.
Q.07

Should I pick a bullet or a turret?

The bullet body is the visible one — from the street it reads as 'this property is covered', which is itself a layer of deterrence, and the long body aims naturally down fence lines and driveways. A turret like the HDW3849 S2 tucks under eaves more discreetly and suits ceilings. Same AI and deterrence either way — pick by mounting position and how visible you want the hardware.
Q.08

Which NVR do I need for this camera?

Any current Dahua PoE NVR records it. SMD classification, Quick Pick search and full event linkage want an AI model such as the DHI-NVR4104HS-P-AI/ANZ or DHI-NVR4108HS-8P-AI/ANZ used in our kits.
Q.09

Will it work with a non-Dahua NVR?

Yes — it is ONVIF conformant (Profile S, G and T) and lists Milestone integration in the datasheet. You keep video and basic motion events; the light-and-siren event linkage needs a Dahua NVR.
Q.10

Can I use this camera without an NVR?

You can — it takes a MicroSD card up to 256GB (not included), streams to the DMSS app, and the deterrence features work stand-alone. Most buyers still pair it with an NVR for longer retention and AI search; treat the SD slot as backup.
Q.11

Is a Dahua camera safe to use in Australia?

Dahua equipment was removed from federal government sites in 2023 as a precaution, and there is no restriction on private or business use. This camera does not need a cloud account: it records to your NVR, works fully offline, and supports HTTPS and firmware encryption. If you want zero outbound traffic, put the system on an isolated network — it still records locally.
Q.12

Which 3849 bullet should I buy?

Five bullets share the red and blue lights and siren voices. The S2 is the current TiOC 3.0 pick with SMD 4.0 and AcuPick support. The PRO is the night flagship — colour to 0.0004 lux and 50 metres of illumination, with the strongest speaker in the range. The ZAS adds a motorised 2.7–13.5mm zoom for gates and long driveways. The ANZ is the previous TiOC 2.0 generation — still SMD 4.0 and two-way talk, without AcuPick. The S3 is the oldest and cheapest path in, on SMD 3.0 without two-way talk.
Q.13

What warranty coverage applies in Australia?

The camera includes a 3-year warranty covering defects. Installation labour is not covered.
