§ 01Overview

What the DH-IPC-HDW3841TP-ZAS is

The Dahua DH-IPC-HDW3841TP-ZAS is an 8MP (4K) WizSense motorised varifocal turret that pairs high 4K detail with a remote-adjustable lens.

A 1/2.8-inch 8MP sensor resolves faces and licence plates across wide scenes, with Starlight low-light imaging and 120dB WDR for difficult lighting, and the 2.7-13.5mm motorised lens lets you reframe from a wide area to a tighter view remotely.

WizSense analytics classify humans and vehicles, so SMD Plus and perimeter protection (tripwire and intrusion) raise relevant alerts and filter out animals and weather.

Quick Pick, with a compatible Dahua AI NVR, speeds up finding targets in recorded footage.

Note that at full 4K the main stream runs at 20fps with AI enabled and 25/30fps with AI disabled.

A built-in microphone, 50m Smart IR and an IP67 housing with PoE or 12V DC power suit demanding commercial and residential sites.

§ 04Why choose this

Built for the way you actually use the DH-IPC-HDW3841TP-ZAS

4K detail with a remote lens

An 8MP sensor resolves faces and plates across wide scenes, and the motorised 2.7-13.5mm lens lets you reframe from the desk after mounting.

Accurate, filtered alerts

SMD Plus and perimeter protection classify humans and vehicles, cutting nuisance alerts from animals, foliage and weather.

Clear in difficult light

Starlight imaging with 120dB WDR holds detail in low light and high-contrast scenes such as entries and forecourts.

Faster review with an AI NVR

Quick Pick, on a compatible Dahua AI NVR, helps operators find human and vehicle targets in recorded footage quickly.

§ 05Where it fits

Right at home in these scenarios

Commercial perimeters

4K detail with human and vehicle filtering covers wide boundaries and entries, with 50m Smart IR for darkness.

Car parks and forecourts

8MP resolution with a remote lens covers bays and lanes, focusing on an entry point or approach as needed.

Larger residential properties

High detail across driveways and yards, with perimeter rules filtered to people and vehicles to reduce false alerts.

Sites needing evidentiary detail

4K resolution supports post-incident review where reading plates and identifying individuals at distance matters.

§ 06Setup

Installation & setup

01

Choose 4K or frame rate priority

Decide whether 4K with AI at 20fps or a higher frame rate with AI off suits the scene, and set the resolution and stream accordingly during commissioning.

02

Power over PoE or 12V DC

Connect to a PoE switch or NVR over a single cable, or provide a 12V DC supply where PoE is unavailable.

03

Mount and set the lens

Fix the turret on wall, eave or ceiling with a Dahua junction box such as the PFA130-E where needed, then set the motorised zoom and focus remotely.

04

Configure WizSense rules

Set SMD Plus and perimeter tripwire and intrusion rules with human and vehicle classification, and pair an AI NVR for Quick Pick search.

§ 07Questions

Frequently asked about the DH-IPC-HDW3841TP-ZAS

Q.01

Why does the 4K stream run at 20fps?

At full 8MP (4K) the main stream runs at up to 20fps when AI functions are enabled, and up to 25/30fps when AI is disabled. This is normal for this model. Decide whether 4K detail with AI or a higher frame rate matters more for the scene, or run a lower resolution for smoother motion.

Q.02

Can I adjust the lens after mounting?

Yes. The 2.7-13.5mm motorised varifocal lens is set remotely from the NVR or app, so you can reframe from a wide area to a tighter scene without returning to the camera, which is useful at height.

Q.03

What do SMD Plus and perimeter protection do?

SMD Plus classifies movement as human or vehicle before alerting, and perimeter protection adds tripwire and intrusion rules filtered to those targets. Together they cut nuisance alerts from animals, foliage and lighting changes.

Q.04

What is Quick Pick and what does it need?

Quick Pick lets operators quickly find human and vehicle targets in recorded video. It works with the camera paired to a compatible Dahua AI NVR, which performs the search, rather than running on the camera alone.

Q.05

How far does the night vision reach?

Smart IR reaches up to 50m across two LEDs and adjusts intensity to avoid overexposing nearby objects. With Starlight imaging, footage stays usable in darkness across larger yards, car parks and approaches.

Q.06

Does it have two-way audio?

No. It has a built-in microphone to record on-site audio, but no built-in speaker, so it does not provide two-way talk. The microphone captures sound alongside video where local laws permit.

Q.07

Is it suitable for outdoor use and how is it powered?

Yes. The metal turret is IP67-rated for dust and water, and runs on PoE over a single cable or a 12V DC supply, suiting eave, wall and outdoor positions with straightforward cabling.

Q.08

Will it work with a third-party recorder?

Video works over ONVIF. WizSense events such as SMD Plus and perimeter protection are fully managed with a compatible Dahua NVR; on a third-party platform, confirm which AI events it can receive before specifying the system.

§ 09Bundles

Recommended packages

01

Recorders and storage

Record to a Dahua NVR such as the 16-channel NVR4216-16P, fitted with an 8TB surveillance hard drive to hold the higher 4K data rate.

02

PoE power and cabling

Distribute power and data with a Dahua PoE switch and quality Cat6 cable, one run per camera.

03

Mounting

For outdoor positions or surface cabling, add a Dahua PFA130-E junction box; confirm it suits this turret before ordering.
