Dahua DH-IPC-HDW3849QMP-S-IL-0280B - 8MP Smart Dual Light Eyeball Network Camera

Dahua DH-IPC-HDW3849QMP-S-IL-0280B — 8MP Eyeball IP Camera

The Dahua DH-IPC-HDW3849QMP-S-IL-0280B is an 8MP (3840×2160) eyeball-style IP camera fitted with a 2.8mm fixed lens and Dahua's Smart Dual Light system, combining infrared and warm LED illumination up to 30m for clear images day and night. Onboard deep-learning analytics deliver accurate human and vehicle classification (SMD 4.0), plus a built-in microphone for real-time audio and an IP67 rating for outdoor installation.

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. At 8MP with a 2.8mm wide-angle lens, this eyeball camera suits entrances, reception areas, and general internal or covered external spaces where a low-profile, adjustable form factor and detailed close-to-medium range coverage are needed. The built-in human/vehicle classification helps cut false alarms on sites such as retail units, offices and small commercial premises.

Key specification

What you will need

• A PoE NVR with matching resolution support — see our NVRs
• Cat5e/Cat6 cabling run from the camera back to the NVR or switch
• A PoE switch if you're running multiple cameras or need to extend beyond a single NVR's built-in PoE ports
• GDPR-compliant signage if the camera will cover public areas

Frequently asked questions

Will this camera work with a non-Dahua NVR?

Yes — it supports ONVIF (Profile S, G, T and M), so it can be added to most third-party NVRs, though some Dahua-specific AI features may only be fully supported with a Dahua NVR.

Does it need a separate power supply?

No — it can be powered over the network cable via PoE (802.3af), or via a 12VDC supply if PoE isn't available.

How much storage will I need?

Storage depends on resolution, frame rate and how many cameras are recording continuously; an 8MP camera recording continuously will need considerably more capacity than a lower-resolution camera — contact us for a sizing recommendation based on your setup.

Can I adjust the camera's viewing angle after installation?

Yes — the eyeball housing allows pan, tilt and rotation adjustment (Pan 0°–360°, Tilt 0°–80°, Rotation 0°–360°) so it can be aimed precisely once mounted.
