01Overview

What the DH-IPC-HDW3849HP-AS-PV-0280B-S3-BLK is

Lens: 2.8mm. Black housing.

The DH-IPC-HDW3849HP-AS-PV-0280B-S3 is the previous-generation 8MP TiOC turret in black — the TiOC 2.0 era. The core deterrence package is all here: 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 on so the event records in full colour. The 8MP F1.0 sensor rates 0.004 lux in colour with 30 metres each of infrared and warm light, in a metal IP67 housing rated -40°C to +60°C.

What marks it as previous-generation: SMD 3.0 rather than 4.0 — human and vehicle filtering that works, with a higher false-alert rate than the current AI — no AcuPick support, no AI SSA scene adaptation, and the dual mics record audio but the datasheet lists no live two-way talk. One-tap disarming via DMSS and the wired arm/disarm input are still present.

The honest comparison: the current S2 black turret sells for a small step up and adds SMD 4.0, AcuPick and two-way talk — most buyers should take that step. This S3 makes sense when the price gap matters across several cameras, or to match existing S3 units on the same recorder.

8MP Ultra HD

8MP (4K) resolution captures four times the detail of 1080p.
Even when a person or car is far down the driveway, you can zoom in and still recognise a face or read a number plate — detail that lower-resolution cameras lose.

30m IR Night Vision — Built-in infrared lets the camera see in complete darkness up to around 30m — enough ... (2/2)

30m IR Night Vision

Built-in infrared lets the camera see in complete darkness up to around 30m — enough for a typical driveway, front yard or entrance. People and vehicles stay clear in black-and-white, brighter the closer they are.

Full Color Night Vision

Unlike plain black-and-white night vision, this camera can capture colour after dark — so you can pick out the actual colour of a car, a jacket or a bag, detail that grey infrared footage loses.

04Why choose this

Built for the way you actually use the DH-IPC-HDW3849HP-AS-PV-0280B-S3-BLK

The full light-and-siren response, last-gen brain

Red and blue strobes, siren voices and warm-light full-colour capture are identical in effect to the current model — what's older is the AI doing the filtering, not the deterrence.

Same night numbers as the current model

0.004 lux at F1.0 with 30m of infrared and 30m of warm light matches the S2 spec for spec — the sensor generation didn't change, the intelligence did.

Black where black belongs

Dark eaves, Monument fascias and steel carports hide the housing until the lights fire.

Most buyers should take the current model

Honest guidance: the S2 black costs a small step more and adds SMD 4.0, AcuPick search and live two-way talk — choose this S3 to match existing S3 cameras or when the gap matters multiplied across a whole system.

05Where it fits

Right at home in these scenarios

Extending an existing S3 system

Already running S3-era TiOC cameras means matched behaviour, matched menus and no AI-generation quirks on the same recorder.

Budget multi-camera builds

Across six or eight positions a per-camera saving adds up — the deterrence response intruders actually see is the same as the current model's.

Dark housings on dark builds

Monument and Woodland Grey eaves, timber soffits and black steel — the housing reads as a fitting until the red and blue lights say otherwise.

Driveways and side gates

Tripwire across the access line, lights and a voice warning the moment it's crossed, full-colour event recording behind it.

Installation & setup

  1. What's in the Box

    • Dahua DH-IPC-HDW3849HP-AS-PV-0280B-S3 (Black) Camera × 1
    • Power Connector × 1
    • Quick Start Guide × 1

  2. Installation Requirements

    • Power: any 802.3af PoE NVR port or switch (5.0W typical, 7.5W max with the lights and speaker running). A separate 12V DC adapter is only needed without PoE.
    • Network: a wired Ethernet run back to your NVR or switch — PoE carries power and video together on the same line.
    • Mounting: solid wall, ceiling or eave at 2.5–3 metres. The optional PFA137 junction box keeps the connection weatherproof and makes future swaps a 2-minute job.

  3. App Setup

    • Download the DMSS app, create an account and scan the device QR code.
    • Enable push notifications, and keep the one-tap disarm switch handy for expected visitors.
    • 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.

08Questions

Frequently asked about the DH-IPC-HDW3849HP-AS-PV-0280B-S3-BLK

Q.01

What's the difference between this S3 and the current S2?
The deterrence hardware — lights, siren voices, warm light — and the 0.004 lux F1.0 sensor are equivalent. The S3 runs the older SMD 3.0 AI with more false alerts than SMD 4.0, has no AcuPick support or AI SSA, and its mics record audio without live two-way talk. The S2 black closes all of that for a small step up in price.
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 previous AI generation — 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

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.08

Will it work with a non-Dahua NVR?
Yes — it is ONVIF conformant (Profile S, G and T). You keep video and basic motion events; SMD classification and the light-and-siren event linkage need a Dahua AI NVR.
Q.09

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.10

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.11

Which 3849 turret should I buy?
Four turrets share the red and blue lights and siren voices. The HDW3849 S2 is the current TiOC 3.0 pick — 0.004 lux F1.0 colour, SMD 4.0 and AcuPick support — and it powers our 4, 6 and 8 camera kits. The PRO is the night specialist: colour rated to 0.0008 lux, five times less light needed than the S2. The ZAS adds a motorised 2.7–13.5mm zoom and 50m infrared for gates and long driveways. The S3 black is the previous generation — same lights and siren on older SMD 3.0 AI, without AcuPick or two-way talk.
Q.12

What warranty coverage applies in Australia?
The camera includes a 3-year warranty covering defects. Installation labour is not covered.
