Description

4K in a black, vandal-proof dome.
30 m IR, SMD 4.0 and a built-in mic.
A black 8MP (3840 × 2160) WizSense dome with a fixed F1.4 lens, 30 m of IR and an IK10 metal housing. It sorts people and vehicles from everything else, so the alerts you get are worth looking at.
In one sentence: the DH-IPC-HDBW3866EP-AS-AUS-BLK is a black Dahua WizSense 3 Series 8MP fixed-lens IR dome camera with 30 m IR, SMD 4.0, tripwire and intrusion with human and vehicle sorting, a built-in mic, IP67, IK10 and PoE.
Camera only. Recorder and cabling are separate.
This listing is one black dome camera. It needs PoE or a 12 V supply for power and somewhere to store the footage. Dahua makes it with a 2.8 mm or a 3.6 mm lens under the same code, so confirm with us which lens is in stock when you order.
- DH-IPC-HDBW3866EP-AS-AUS-BLK dome 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
Sees the people, ignores the leaves.
SMD 4.0 sorts the motion it sees into people, vehicles and everything else, and the tripwire and intrusion rules only fire on the targets you tick. With a Dahua AI NVR, Quick Pick then pulls the people and vehicles out of those events so you can find a clip quickly.

Lens
4K through an F1.4 lens.
3840 × 2160 at up to 25/30 fps on a 1/2.8" sensor. Three IR LEDs reach up to 30 m. Colour image down to 0.007 lux at F1.4, black and white to 0.0007 lux, and 0 lux with the IR on.

Housing
IP67 and IK10, black metal.
89.1 mm tall and 111.7 mm across, 516 g. The metal housing is rated IP67 against dust and water and IK10 against impact. Runs from −40 °C to +60 °C.
How it goes in
From cable to first alert.
01
Run one cable
Cat5e or Cat6 to a PoE NVR or an 802.3af PoE switch. Allow up to 9.7 W per camera on PoE. 12 VDC also works.
02
Fix the base
Screw the base to the ceiling or wall, aim the lens module (pan, tilt and rotate), then fit the dome cover. 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
Draw tripwire or intrusion zones and tick human and vehicle, or turn on SMD 4.0, then choose how it alerts you.

Common questions
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.
Which lens is it, 2.8 mm or 3.6 mm?
Dahua makes it with either lens under the same code: 2.8 mm covers 107° across and 3.6 mm covers 84°. Confirm with us which lens is in stock when you order.
How is it powered?
By 802.3af PoE or 12 VDC. It draws 4.9 W on PoE at rest and up to 9.7 W with WDR, IR and analytics running.
How far does it see at night?
The IR reaches up to 30 m. In colour it works down to 0.007 lux at F1.4, and with the IR on it records in black and white at 0 lux.
Does it record in colour at night?
Only where there is some light. It has IR, not a warm light, so in full darkness it records in black and white.
Does it have a speaker or siren?
No. It has a built-in microphone and an RCA audio output for an external speaker, but no built-in speaker, siren or warning light.
What does SMD 4.0 do?
Smart Motion Detection sorts motion into people, vehicles and everything else, so animals and moving plants do not trigger alarms.
Is it vandal-proof?
It is rated IK10, which Dahua describes as surviving more than five 20 J hammer impacts, and IP67 against dust and water.
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. Quick Pick and the AI search features need a Dahua AI 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.
Supported by InFront Technologies.

Installation and safety
Low-voltage camera. PoE (802.3af, up to 9.7 W) or 12 VDC (up to 8.5 W). There is no mains connection on the camera. A new power point for a 12 V supply needs a licensed electrician.
Cabling. Concealed data cabling is customer cabling under AS/CA S009 and needs an ACMA-registered cabler.
Audio recording. Recording conversations is covered by state and territory surveillance laws. Check them, and use signage, before you turn the microphone on.
What it does not do. No warm light, no speaker or siren, no Wi-Fi and no zoom. The lens is fixed.
