Dahua DH-IPC-HDW3849HP-AS-PV-0280B-PRO-Grey - 8MP WizColor Active Deterrence Eyeball Network Camera

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

The Dahua DH-IPC-HDW3849HP-AS-PV-0280B-PRO-Grey is an 8MP eyeball network camera with a 2.8mm fixed lens, active deterrence lighting and WizColor low-light imaging technology. Built-in dual microphone and speaker allow real-time two-way talk, while IP67 protection suits both indoor and outdoor mounting.

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 8MP eyeball model suits shopfronts, car parks and building entrances where a compact housing and active deterrence (red/blue warning lights with an audible alarm) are wanted to challenge intruders before an incident happens. Deep-learning human/vehicle classification helps cut false alerts at a handful of key entry points, rather than a large multi-camera perimeter.

Key specification

What you will need

• A PoE NVR with matching 8MP recording support — see our NVRs
• Cat5e/Cat6 cabling to carry video and power to the camera
• For long cable runs or several cameras branching from one point, add a PoE switch
• If installing in a public-facing location, appropriate GDPR signage to inform the public that CCTV is in operation

Frequently asked questions

Will this camera work with a non-Dahua NVR?

Yes. It supports ONVIF (Profile S, G and T), so it can be added to most third-party NVR and VMS systems, though some Dahua-specific AI features may only be available with a Dahua recorder.

Does it need a separate power supply?

No, if you use a PoE NVR or PoE switch. It also accepts 12VDC power directly, so it can run without PoE where needed.

How much storage will I need?

Storage depends on resolution, frame rate and how many cameras record continuously; for an 8MP stream, size your NVR's hard drive generously or use motion-triggered recording to reduce demand. The camera also supports a local Micro SD card up to 512GB for edge storage.

What is active deterrence?

Active deterrence uses the camera's built-in red and blue warning lights and audible alarm to challenge an intruder in real time, in addition to standard motion detection and recording.
