§ 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.

Technical specifications
- 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
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.
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.
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
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.
Matching existing S3 cameras
Same generation, same menus, same alert behaviour on the recorder — no mixed-AI quirks.
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.
Third-party VMS sites
ONVIF conformance with Milestone listed suits recorders outside the Dahua ecosystem, where AcuPick wouldn't have worked anyway.
§ 06Setup
Installation & setup
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
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.
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.

§ 09Bundles
Recommended packages
One step up
The ANZ generation adds SMD 4.0 filtering and two-way talk for a modest step — the better pick for systems of two or three cameras.
Current generation
The S2 bullet is the full TiOC 3.0 set with AcuPick support and AI SSA.
Build it into a system
Use the bundle builder on this page to pair the camera with a 4, 8 or 16 channel Dahua AI NVR and a surveillance drive in one order.
