Dahua DH-IPC-HDW3849HP-AS-PV-0280B-PRO-G - 8MP WizSense Eyeball Network Camera

Dahua DH-IPC-HDW3849HP-AS-PV-0280B-PRO-G — 8MP Eyeball IP Camera

The DH-IPC-HDW3849HP-AS-PV-0280B-PRO-G is an 8MP (3840×2160) WizSense eyeball network camera with a 2.8mm fixed lens and a 1/1.8" CMOS sensor. Dahua's Smart Dual Light system pairs infrared and warm-light illumination with active deterrence — red and blue warning lights plus an audible alarm — that can be triggered automatically when the camera's AI detects a person or vehicle.

Who is it for?

IP cameras carry video and PoE power over one Cat5e/Cat6 cable to a PoE NVR — ideal when cabling from scratch or wanting resolutions/analytics beyond coax. This eyeball model suits entrances, shopfronts, car parks and perimeter approaches where visible deterrence and accurate human/vehicle classification matter, and its 8MP resolution gives enough detail to identify faces or plates within the 2.8mm lens's field of view. Built-in dual microphones and a speaker also let an operator or site owner challenge visitors directly through the camera.

Key specification

What you will need

• A PoE NVR with matching (8MP+) resolution support — see our NVRs
• Cat5e or Cat6 cabling run from the camera back to the NVR (single cable carries video and power)
• A PoE switch if the run is long or you need to branch out to several cameras
• Visible CCTV/GDPR signage where the camera covers a public area

Frequently asked questions

Will this camera work with a non-Dahua NVR?

Yes — it supports ONVIF (Profile S, G and T), so it will register on most third-party NVR and VMS platforms, though some Dahua-specific AI features are best used with a Dahua NVR.

Does it need a separate power supply?

No — it's PoE (802.3af) powered from a compatible NVR or PoE switch, or it can run from a 12VDC supply if PoE isn't available.

How much storage do I need?

The camera takes a Micro SD card up to 512GB for local backup, but for continuous recording we'd size an NVR's hard drive to the 8MP stream and your required retention period.

Can I use the active deterrence lights and siren without a monitoring operator?

Yes — the red/blue lights and alarm can be set to trigger automatically from the camera's own AI detection (motion, intrusion, tripwire), with no operator required.
