• DH-IPC-HDW3649H-ZAS-PV-ANZ eyeball camera

• A PoE NVR or 802.3af PoE switch, or a 12 VDC supply
• Cat5e or Cat6 cable to the camera
• A recorder, NAS or microSD card for the footage

01

Run one cable

Cat5e or Cat6 to a PoE NVR or an 802.3af PoE switch. Allow up to 10.6 W per camera on PoE. 12 VDC also works.

02

Fix the base

Screw the base to the ceiling, eave or wall (three holes), then turn the ball to roughly frame the scene. A junction box or wall, ceiling or pole bracket is optional.

03

Add it to the recorder

Initialise the camera, then add it to a Dahua NVR, Smart PSS, DSS or the DMSS app on your phone.

04

Set the rules

Zoom and focus from the web page or app, draw tripwire or intrusion zones, tick human and vehicle, then choose the light, siren or voice message it plays.

Recorder

A Dahua AI NVR

Powers and records the camera on one cable, and unlocks Quick Pick and Smart Search for people and vehicles.

Power

An 802.3af PoE switch

If the recorder has no PoE ports. Allow 10.6 W for this camera with the lights and siren on.

Cabling

Cat5e or Cat6 cable

One run per camera, up to the usual 100 m Ethernet limit.

Mounting

A junction box or bracket

Dahua lists the PFA137 junction box, PFB205W-E wall mount, PFB220C ceiling mount and PFA152-E pole mount for this camera.

Long driveways

Zoom in on the gate or the street end, with warm light and a voice warning at night.

Front entries

Frame the door and path, and talk to visitors through the speaker.

Shops after hours

Shopfronts and rear doors, with colour clips of every event.

Car parks and yards

Human and vehicle sorting on the entry lane cuts false alarms.

Warehouses

Roller doors and loading bays, zoomed to the distance you need.

Farms and sheds

SMD 4.0 filters animals, so the alarm means a person or a vehicle.

What does TiOC mean on this camera?

It is Dahua's name for cameras that combine smart dual light for colour at night, active deterrence (red and blue light, siren and voice) and WizSense AI that sorts people and vehicles, in one camera.

Is a recorder included?

No. This listing is the camera only. It records to a Dahua NVR, a NAS, FTP or a microSD card in the camera.

Is it a dome or a turret?

It is an eyeball, also called a turret: the ball sits open in its base, with no dome cover over the lens, so IR does not reflect back into the picture.

How is it powered?

By 802.3af PoE or 12 VDC. It draws 5 W on PoE at rest and up to 10.6 W with the warm light, siren and speaker running.

How far does it see at night?

The IR reaches up to 50 m and the warm light up to 40 m. In colour it works down to 0.003 lux at F1.0, and with the lights on it records at 0 lux.

Can I zoom from my phone?

Yes. The 2.7–13.5 mm lens is motorised, so zoom and focus are set from the camera's web page, a Dahua recorder or the DMSS app.

How does the active deterrence work?

When a tripwire, intrusion or SMD rule triggers, the camera can flash its red and blue light, sound a siren or play a voice message. Dahua includes several messages and you can import your own. One-tap disarming turns the warnings off when you are home.

Can I talk through it?

Yes. It has built-in dual microphones and a speaker for two-way talk, plus one RCA audio input and one RCA audio output.

What size microSD card does it take?

Up to 256 GB, per Dahua's datasheet for this model.

Will it work with a non-Dahua recorder?

It supports ONVIF Profile S, G and T, so most ONVIF recorders can record it. The light, siren and AI search features work best with a Dahua NVR.

What warranty does it have?

Dahua gives its 3 Series network cameras a 3-year (36-month) manufacturer warranty under Dahua Australia's warranty policy. Claims are handled in Australia through InFront Technologies: call 1300 736 970 or email [email protected].

Who can install the cable?

Concealed data cabling to the camera is customer cabling under AS/CA S009 and needs an ACMA-registered cabler. Plugging a patch lead into an existing outlet does not.
