The Dahua DH-IPC-HDBW3849EP-AS-IL-0280B is an 8MP 4K WizSense AI IP CCTV dome camera with a fixed 2.8mm lens for a wide 110° view, built for outdoor use. Smart Dual Light keeps the camera on discreet IR night vision until a person or vehicle is detected, then switches on the warm light for full-colour video, up to 30m. The metal housing is IP67 waterproof and IK10 vandal-resistant, and it is powered by PoE (802.3af) or 12V DC. It belongs to Dahua's WizSense 3 Series.

From Dahua's datasheet (EN 62676-4):
| Lens | Detect | Observe | Recognise | Identify |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.8 mm | 84.8 m (278.22 ft) | 33.9 m (111.22 ft) | 17.0 m (55.77 ft) | 8.5 m (27.89 ft) |
Dahua says WizSense is its series of AI products using an independent AI chip and deep learning, focused on human and vehicle detection. See our guide to Dahua WizSense cameras.
Yes. With Smart Dual Light the IR illuminator is normally on at night, and when a target appears the white light comes on so the camera records full-colour video, then it switches back to IR. On this 2.8mm lens both reach 30m. See our guide to Dahua Smart Dual Light cameras.
The metal housing is rated IK10 for impact: Dahua says it can take more than 5 punches from a 5 kg hammer falling from 40 cm (20 J). It is IP67 rated against dust and water.
From PoE (802.3af) or 12V DC (±30%). Dahua says that if the power adapter and PoE are connected at the same time, one of them should be disconnected.
It supports ONVIF Profile S, G, T and M, so it can be added to recorders and software that support ONVIF. Dahua says Smart Search works together with a Dahua Smart NVR. Browse our Dahua WizSense NVRs.
Yes. Dahua lists a built-in microphone, so audio is recorded with the video.
Dahua lists the IPC-HDBW3849E-AS-IL with 2.8 mm and 3.6 mm lenses. This listing is the 2.8mm version, which gives the wider 110° view; the 3.6mm gives 86° and 40m of IR and warm light.
