• DH-IPC-HDBW3866RP-ZAS-AUS-BLK dome camera

• A PoE NVR or an 802.3af PoE switch, or a 12 VDC supply
• Cat5e or Cat6 cable to the camera
• A recorder, NAS or microSD card (up to 256 GB) for the footage

01

Run one cable

Cat5e or Cat6 to a PoE NVR or an 802.3af PoE switch. The camera draws up to 10.5 W on PoE. A 12 VDC supply also works.

02

Fix the base

Screw the Ø 122 mm base to the ceiling or wall through its three Ø 4.5 mm holes on an Ø 110 mm circle, then aim the lens module roughly.

03

Zoom and focus remotely

Add it to a Dahua NVR, Smart PSS, DSS or DMSS, then zoom between 2.7 and 13.5 mm and set the focus from the screen.

04

Set the rules

Draw tripwire or intrusion zones, tick human and vehicle, and turn on SMD 4.0 for filtered motion alerts.

Recorder

A Dahua WizSense PoE NVR

Powers and records the camera on one cable, controls the zoom, and adds Quick Pick search on an AI NVR.

Power

An 802.3af PoE switch

If the recorder has no free PoE ports. Allow 10.5 W for this camera.

Cabling

Cat5e or Cat6 cable

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

Mounting

Dahua PFA137 junction box

Optional, to hide the cable tail. Dahua lists the PFA137 junction box bracket, PFB203W wall mount, PFB220C ceiling mount and PFA152-E pole mount for this dome.

Shops and counters

Zoom in on the till or out to cover the whole floor.

Entries and foyers

Frame the door tight enough to identify faces.

Schools and public buildings

An IK10 dome for corridors and entries within reach.

Warehouses

Aisles and roller doors, re-framed later without a ladder.

Offices and receptions

A neat ceiling dome with sound from the built-in microphone.

Car parks

Entry lanes and bays, with human and vehicle sorting.

What does motorised vari-focal mean?

The lens zooms from 2.7 mm to 13.5 mm and is focused by motor, from the recorder, the web page or the DMSS app. You do not have to adjust it by hand at the camera.

Is it vandal resistant?

Yes. Dahua rates this dome IK10 for impact as well as IP67 for dust and water, with a metal casing.

Is a recorder included?

No. This listing is the camera only. It records to a Dahua NVR, a NAS, FTP or a microSD card of up to 256 GB.

How is it powered?

By 802.3af PoE or 12 VDC. It draws up to 10.5 W on PoE or 9.2 W on 12 VDC.

What frame rate does it record at in 8MP?

Up to 25/30 fps at the full 8MP (3840 × 2160) on the main stream.

How far does it see at night?

3 IR LEDs reach up to 40 m. In colour it works down to 0.007 lux at F1.5, and with the IR on it records at 0 lux.

How far away can it pick out a person?

At the tele end Dahua's DORI figures are 289.7 m to detect, 57.9 m to recognise and 29.0 m to identify. At the wide end they are 88.3 m, 17.7 m and 8.8 m.

What does SMD 4.0 do?

Smart Motion Detection classifies what caused the motion and filters out things that are not people or vehicles, such as animals, so you get fewer false alerts. Tripwire and intrusion rules can also be set to human, vehicle or both.

What do the -ZAS audio and alarm ports do?

The -ZAS model adds 1 audio input and 1 audio output (RCA) and 1 alarm input and 1 alarm output to the built-in microphone, for linking an external microphone, speaker or other alarm equipment. There is no built-in speaker or siren.

Will it work with a non-Dahua recorder?

It supports ONVIF Profile S, G and T and works with Milestone and Genetec. Zoom control over ONVIF depends on the recorder; Quick Pick and Smart Search need 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.
