§ 04Why choose this

Built for the way you actually use it

01

4K Resolution + Starlight Sensor

8MP (3840 × 2160) on a 1/2.8" Starlight sensor. Usable colour footage down to 0.007 lux — that's moonlight-level darkness, without needing supplemental light.

02

30m IR Night Vision

Built-in IR LEDs for clear black-and-white footage in complete darkness. Smart IR adjusts intensity so close-up faces don't get washed out.

03

Alarm & Audio I/O (AS suffix)

Terminal block for external alarm sensor input/output and audio in/out. Wire up a door contact, external speaker, or panic button.

04

SMD 4.0 AI Detection

Classifies people and vehicles accurately. Cuts false alarms from animals, rain, and leaves — you only get alerts that matter.

05

Bullet Form Factor for Perimeter Use

Visible deterrent. The bullet shape tells people the area is monitored. IP67 sealed for outdoor walls and fence posts.

§ 05Where it fits

Right at home in these scenarios

01

Long Driveway or Fence Line

Bullet mounts on a wall or post pointing along the fence. 30m IR covers the full length. Starlight gives colour detail at dusk without needing a floodlight.

02

Loading Dock or Warehouse Exterior

Alarm I/O connects to a roller door sensor — auto-records when the dock opens. 8MP captures truck rego plates clearly.

03

Side of House or Carport

Compact bullet fits under eaves. 2.8mm lens covers a wide carport area. Smart IR avoids overexposing car paint at close range.

04

Small Business Back Entry

Visible bullet deters opportunistic break-ins. Audio input can connect to an intercom speaker at the door.

§ 07Questions

Frequently asked

Q.01

What does the AS suffix mean?

AS = Alarm and Audio I/O. This model has terminal connections for external alarm sensors and audio devices (1 input, 1 output each). The base model without AS doesn't have these.
Q.02

Does it record audio by itself?

Yes. Built-in mic captures ambient sound. The AS version also lets you connect an external microphone or speaker for two-way communication.
Q.03

What's the frame rate with AI enabled?

With AI features active (SMD, intrusion detection), the max frame rate is 20fps at 8MP. With AI disabled, it reaches 25/30fps. For most security use, 20fps is more than enough.
Q.04

Can I choose between 2.8mm and 3.6mm lenses?

Yes. 2.8mm gives a wider 107° horizontal view — good for close areas like entries and carports. 3.6mm narrows to 84° but reaches further — better for longer driveways or corridors.
Q.05

Is this the same as the HDW3866EMP turret?

No. The HFW3866EP is a bullet (wall-mount, visible deterrent). The HDW3866EMP is a turret (ceiling/wall, more discreet). They share similar specs but differ in form factor and mounting style.
