§ 01Overview
What the DH-IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV-PRO-ANZ is
The DH-IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV-PRO-ANZ is the night-vision specialist of the TiOC range — what the channel calls TiOC PRO. Its AI-ISP processing and large-pixel 8MP sensor rate colour at 0.0008 lux: five times less light than the standard S2 turret needs. In practice that's the difference between a backyard that needs the warm light to show colour and one that holds colour off ambient sky glow alone.
The deterrence set matches the S2: red and blue lights, siren and voice warnings through the built-in speaker, warm-light full-colour event capture, two-way talk through dual mics, and one-tap disarming in DMSS. The 2.8mm lens is the widest in the fixed turret family at 109°, identifying faces to about 8.2 metres, and AcuPick search works on compatible Dahua recorders. MicroSD backup steps up to 512GB.
The honest question is whether you need it: infrared and warm light still reach 30 metres, same as the S2 — the PRO's gain is colour sensitivity, not range. Spots with some ambient light do fine on the cheaper S2; the PRO earns its price on genuinely dark approaches. PoE-powered (10W max, all features firing), metal IP67 housing rated -40°C to +60°C.

What the DH-IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV-PRO-ANZ 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.
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 for a typical driveway, front yard or entrance. People and vehicles stay clear in black-and-white, brighter the closer they are.
Dual-Light Night Vision
Combines infrared with a warm spotlight so it can light a scene in colour at night rather than relying on black-and-white alone — clearer, more useful footage when there's something to see.
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.
False Alarm Reduction
Filtering helps separate real activity from harmless movement like rain, leaves or pets, so you get fewer pointless notifications and the alerts that matter stand out.
Human/Vehicle Detection
Smart detection focuses on people and vehicles and can ignore things like swaying branches, rain or small animals — helping cut down false alerts and making the right moments easier to find.
IP67 Weatherproof
Sealed against dust and water to IP67, built to keep working through rain, storms and harsh sun — suitable for fully outdoor mounting.
Two-Way Audio
Talk and listen in real time through the app — tell a courier where to leave a parcel, or speak to someone at the gate, whether you're home or away.

§ 04Why choose this
Built for the way you actually use the DH-IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV-PRO-ANZ
The full TiOC response, upgraded eyes
Same red and blue lights, siren voices, warm-light event capture and two-way talk as the S2 — wrapped around a sensor and AI-ISP that need a fifth of the light.
Widest view in the family
109° from the 2.8mm lens with faces identifiable to 8.2 metres — one corner mount covers more of the yard than any other fixed 3849 turret.
Pay for darkness, not for the badge
Honest guidance: where a porch light or street glow already helps, the cheaper S2 turret performs fine — the PRO earns its premium on approaches with no ambient light at all.
§ 05Where it fits
Right at home in these scenarios
Unlit rear yards and side paths
The classic night blind spots with zero ambient light — the PRO holds colour where the S2 would switch to infrared, and the deterrence package still confronts anyone who enters.
Rural and acreage approaches
No street lighting for hundreds of metres; 0.0008 lux colour plus 30m illuminators cover house approaches, with SMD 4.0 filtering wildlife out of the alerts.
Dark commercial yards
Loading areas and laneways behind premises where lighting is poor and an after-hours voice warning matters — dual mics add audio evidence where state rules allow.
Wide frontage from one mount
The 109° view takes in a double garage, the path beside it and part of the lawn from a single corner — fewer cameras for the same coverage.
§ 06Setup
Installation & setup
What's in the box
1 x DH-IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV-PRO-ANZ camera, power connector and quick-start guide. The 2.8 mm lens is standard.
Power and cable
One Cat5e/Cat6 run to any 802.3af PoE port on your NVR or switch, up to 100 m — 6 W typical, 10 W with the lights and speaker running. A separate 12 V DC adapter is only needed without PoE.
Mounting
Solid wall, ceiling or eave at 2.5-3 m — out of reach, but low enough that the warm light still shows faces in colour. The optional PFA137 junction box keeps the connection weatherproof and makes future swaps a 2-minute job.
Avoid night reflections
Don't aim it along a close wall or at glass — the IR and warm light can bounce back and wash out the image. Angle slightly away from reflective surfaces.
Do you need a sparkie?
Usually not. PoE means one data cable carries power, video, lights and siren, and you are not touching 240 V. Get a licensed electrician if the run goes through walls or roof space.
App setup and zones
Download DMSS, scan the device QR code and enable push notifications — keep the one-tap disarm switch handy for expected visitors. Then draw tripwire and intrusion zones tight to your own property: zones are what fire the lights and siren, so keep footpaths and the neighbour's driveway out of them.
§ 08Questions
Frequently asked about the DH-IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV-PRO-ANZ
Q.01
What does the PRO actually add over the standard S2 turret?
Three things: colour sensitivity (0.0008 lux against the S2's 0.004 — five times less light needed), a wider 109° lens that identifies to 8.2 metres, and a 512GB MicroSD ceiling. Deterrence, two-way talk and AcuPick support are the same — the S2 remains the better-value pick where some ambient light exists.
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 3867 WizSense turret records the same AI events without the theatrics.
Q.05
How far can it see at night?
Colour holds down to 0.0008 lux — genuinely dark scenes that force other cameras into infrared. In total 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 full colour. The PRO's advantage is sensitivity, not range.
Q.06
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.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 512GB (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
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.11
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.12
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.13
What warranty coverage applies in Australia?
The camera includes a 3-year warranty covering defects. Installation labour is not covered.

Recommended packages
Mix PRO and S2 to budget
Most properties only have one or two genuinely dark approaches — put the PRO there and run S2 turrets everywhere else on the same NVR; the AI features behave identically.
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.
Long dark driveway instead?
If the problem is distance rather than darkness, the motorised ZAS turret zooms to 13.5mm and pushes infrared to 50 metres.
