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

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

The Dahua DH-IPC-HDW3849QMP-S-IL-0280B-Black is an 8MP eyeball IP camera fitted with a 2.8mm fixed lens and Dahua's Smart Dual Light system, combining IR and warm LED illumination with deep learning-based human and vehicle classification for reliable day and night monitoring.

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 entrances, car parks and perimeter areas where accurate human and vehicle detection at range with colour night imaging matters, and where a discreet, low-profile eyeball housing is preferred over a bullet camera. Its 30m IR/warm-light illumination range and IP67 rating make it suitable for exposed outdoor mounting positions such as building perimeters, gateways and loading areas.

Key specification

What you will need

• A PoE NVR with 8MP support to record and power this camera — see our NVRs
• Cat5e or Cat6 cabling to carry both video and power to the camera
• For long cable runs or multiple cameras from one point, a PoE switch keeps power local to the cameras
• If used to monitor a public or shared area, appropriate GDPR CCTV signage should be displayed

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 NVR/VMS systems, though some Dahua-specific AI features may only be available 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 with a 12VDC power supply if PoE is not available.

How much storage will I need?

Storage depends on resolution, frame rate and recording mode; at 8MP with motion-triggered recording, plan for a larger-capacity NVR hard drive than for a lower-resolution camera, or use the camera's own microSD slot (up to 512GB) for local backup.

Can the camera angle be adjusted after mounting?

Yes, the eyeball head offers pan 0°–360°, tilt 0°–80° and rotation 0°–360° adjustment for flexible positioning.
