§ 01Overview

What the DH-IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV-ANZ-S2 is

Lens: 2.8mm.

Black housing.

This is the black-housing version of the DH-IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV-ANZ-S2 — identical inside to the white TiOC 3.0 turret in our kits: the same 8MP F1.0 sensor rated to 0.004 lux colour, the same red and blue lights, siren voices, warm-light event capture and two-way talk.

Buy it by the surface it mounts on: dark eaves, Monument and Woodland Grey fascias, timber soffits and black carport frames where a white dome of plastic announces itself.

The deterrence package is the full TiOC 3.0 set: tripwire and intrusion zones fire the lights and a voice warning, the warm light switches on so the event records in 4K full colour, and one-tap disarming in DMSS stands it down for expected visitors.

SMD 4.0 with AI SSA keeps alerts to humans and vehicles, and AcuPick search works on compatible Dahua recorders.

It runs from any 802.3af PoE port (10.1W with everything firing) in a metal IP67 housing rated from -40°C to +60°C.

Note the practical trade-off of dark housings: they absorb heat on exposed north-facing walls, so under-eave mounting is the better home for it.

What the DH-IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV-ANZ-S2 features actually look like

Representative illustrations of how each key feature performs in a real scene.

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.

IP67 Weatherproof

Sealed against dust and water to IP67, built to keep working through rain, storms and harsh sun — suitable for fully outdoor mounting.

§ 04Why choose this

Built for the way you actually use the DH-IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV-ANZ-S2

Deterrence that doesn't announce itself first

The black housing disappears against dark eaves and fascias — until a zone is crossed and the red and blue lights make the camera very visible indeed, with a siren voice and full-colour 4K event recording behind them.

Same camera as the kits, different colour

Identical sensor, AI and deterrence to the white HDW3849 S2 running our 4, 6 and 8 camera kits — so a black unit slots into an existing kit system without a mismatch in features.

4K evidence with F1.0 light-gathering

Eight million pixels usually cost you night performance — the F1.0 lens claws it back at 0.004 lux colour, and the recording holds zoomable detail afterwards.

Loud on purpose — make sure that suits the spot

Strobes and siren voices confront whoever triggers them. Draw zones to your own boundary and schedule sound overnight — or pick the quieter 3866 WizSense turret where evidence is enough.

§ 05Where it fits

Right at home in these scenarios

Dark eaves and Monument fascias

Modern builds in Monument, Woodland Grey and Basalt swallow a black turret visually — the camera reads as a fitting, not an add-on, until its lights fire.

Timber and heritage frontages

On stained timber soffits and dark heritage trim, black hardware keeps the streetscape intact while the tripwire still guards the verandah.

Carports and steel structures

Black steel posts and beams hide the housing; anyone reaching a car door still gets the lights, the voice warning and a full-colour 4K recording.

Matched dark multi-camera setups

Running several black cameras keeps a consistent look across the build — and this one shares its AI and deterrence with the white kit cameras, so mixed systems behave identically.

§ 06Setup

Installation & setup

01

What's in the Box

1. Dahua DH-IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV-ANZ-S2 (Black) Camera × 1 2. Power Connector × 1 3. Quick Start Guide × 1

02

Installation Requirements

1. Power: any 802.3af PoE NVR port or switch (5.8W typical, 10.1W 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, 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.

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 about the DH-IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV-ANZ-S2

Q.01

Is the black version different from the white one?

Only the housing colour. Sensor, lens, AI, deterrence features and warranty are identical to the white HDW3849 S2 — pick by the surface the camera mounts on.
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 all event linkage while you're expecting visitors, the web interface schedules deterrence by time of day or sets light-only with no sound, and there's a wired arm/disarm option through the alarm input for integrators.
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 a person or vehicle is detected, the 30-metre warm light takes over and the event records in 4K full colour.
Q.06

Does a black housing get hotter in the sun?

Dark surfaces do absorb more heat, and the housing is rated to +60°C — fine for Australian conditions, but under-eave or shaded mounting is the better home for any camera on a north-facing wall, black ones included.
Q.07

What is AcuPick and what do I need to use it?

AcuPick is Dahua's newest search: pick a person or vehicle in playback and the recorder matches them across every camera and timeline in seconds. It needs an AcuPick-capable Dahua recorder — on the AI NVRs in our kits you get SMD 4.0 classification and Quick Pick search, which still pulls every human or vehicle event from a day of footage in one pass.
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). You keep video and basic motion events; SMD classification and the light-and-siren event linkage need a Dahua AI 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

Can I talk through the camera from my phone?

Yes — dual built-in microphones and a speaker give genuine two-way talk through the DMSS app: hear what's happening and speak to whoever is there, live.
Q.12

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.13

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.14

What warranty coverage applies in Australia?

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