What is TIOC?
TiOC stands for Three-in-One Camera, combining Full-Colour Video, Active Deterrence, and AI Detection into one powerful security solution.
With TiOC cameras, you get:
-
Full-Colour Footage 24/7 – even at night, thanks to Smart Dual Illuminators.
-
Smart AI Detection – accurately identifies humans and vehicles, filtering out false
alarms caused by animals, trees, or shadows.
-
Active Deterrence – red and blue warning lights plus a loud siren to stop intruders in their tracks.
These features work together to give you fast, accurate alerts and clear footage any time of day.
How Does It Work?
1. Full-Colour Night Vision with Smart Dual Illuminators
TiOC cameras automatically switch between infrared and LED lighting. When no threat is detected, they use discreet IR. When a person or vehicle enters the scene, the LED lights activate to record in full colour—helping you capture every detail clearly.
2. AI-Powered Detection
Using SMD 4.0 (Smart Motion Detection) and Perimeter Protection, the camera can tell the difference between a person, vehicle, animal, or object. This means:
- You get alerts only when it matters.
- False alarms are reduced to less than 1%.
3. Active Deterrence
When a genuine threat is detected, the camera activates built-in red and blue strobe lights along with a loud audible siren to immediately deter intruders. This proactive response helps prevent incidents before they occur. Users can schedule deterrence features to operate during specific hours—such as overnight—or customise them to suit their needs. For added convenience, a one-touch disarm function allows quick cancellation of the siren when necessary.
Extra Info
Smart Dual Illumination for Clear Night Vision
The DH-IPC-HDBW3867E-AS-IL-ANZ features Dahua's Smart Dual Light technology, which intelligently adapts to nighttime conditions. By default, the camera uses infrared (IR) illumination for discreet black and white video in low light. However, when a human or vehicle is detected in the monitoring area, the camera automatically switches on its warm white light, capturing full-color video of the event. This means you get vivid, detailed recordings of critical incidents, complete with accurate color information for identification. Once the target leaves the area, the white light turns off, reverting to IR and efficiently reducing light pollution, making it a considerate option for residential areas. This dynamic approach provides the best of both worlds: discreet surveillance and clear, actionable color evidence when it matters most.
SMD 4.0 for Precision Motion Detection
Dahua's Smart Motion Detection (SMD 4.0) takes traditional motion detection to a new level. Unlike older systems that trigger on any movement (like animals or tree branches), SMD 4.0 uses advanced deep learning algorithms to accurately classify targets as either humans or vehicles. This dramatically reduces false alarms, ensuring that you only receive notifications for events that genuinely require attention. For users, this means less time reviewing irrelevant footage and a higher confidence in the alerts received. When paired with a Dahua AI NVR, the Quick Pick technology further enhances this by allowing rapid searching and retrieval of human and vehicle targets from recorded SMD events, prioritizing the most relevant clips.
AcuPick for Swift Incident Review
AcuPick is a powerful feature that leverages deep learning to streamline video review. When combined with a compatible Dahua back-end device (like an AI NVR), AcuPick allows users to quickly and accurately search through live and recorded video for specific targets, such as people and motor vehicles. Instead of manually scrubbing through hours of footage, AcuPick helps pinpoint exact moments an event occurred, providing precise matches. This significantly reduces the time and effort required to investigate incidents, making security management more efficient and effective for both homeowners and businesses. It's about finding what you need, fast.
AI Scene Self-Adaptation (SSA) for Consistent Image Quality
Environmental factors can significantly impact camera image quality, but Dahua's AI Scene Self-Adaptation (AI SSA) addresses this challenge. This intelligent feature utilizes deep learning algorithms to detect and adapt to various environmental conditions in real-time, including rain, fog, strong backlight, low light, and even flickering lights. By automatically adjusting image parameters such as exposure, contrast, and white balance, AI SSA ensures that the camera consistently produces clear, usable images regardless of the weather or lighting changes. This means you get reliable video feeds without manual adjustments, providing consistent monitoring capabilities day and night, through various seasons.
Cybersecurity Protections
Dahua builds in strong cybersecurity protections including encrypted video streams, secure firmware updates, and access controls. This guards against data breaches or unauthorized remote access — a key consideration for business and home networks alike.

Q&A
Q: Can this camera record in color at night?
A: Yes, the camera uses Smart Dual Light technology. While it typically uses infrared (black and white) at night for discreet monitoring, it will automatically switch on its warm white light to capture full-color video when a human or vehicle is detected in the monitoring area.
Q: How loud is the built-in microphone?
A: The built-in microphone is designed to pick up audio within the immediate vicinity of the camera, providing context to video recordings. Its primary purpose is audio capture, not active deterrence, so it's suitable for picking up conversations or ambient sounds close to the camera.
Q: Can the white lights be disabled?
A: The Smart Dual Light feature is designed to enhance night vision by providing color footage on detection. While the specific control for completely disabling the white light without affecting IR might vary in the camera's settings, the system is designed to use it intelligently only when a target is detected, minimizing constant illumination.
Q: Does this camera work with Network Video Recorders (NVRs) from other brands?
A: This camera supports ONVIF (Profile S, G, T, M), which is a widely adopted standard for IP-based security products. This means it has a good chance of basic compatibility (like video streaming) with NVRs from other brands that also support ONVIF, though advanced AI features might require a Dahua AI NVR for full functionality.
Q: How long can the 512GB Micro SD card record for?
A: The recording duration on a 512GB Micro SD card depends on several factors, including the resolution, frame rate, compression (H.265 vs. H.264), and the amount of motion detected. For an 8MP camera recording continuously, 512GB could potentially hold several days to a couple of weeks of footage. Using motion detection recording with H.265 compression will significantly extend this duration.
Q: What makes this Dahua WizSense camera different from a "Pro" version?
A: The WizSense series focuses on intelligent, simple, and inclusive AI features with high accuracy for human and vehicle detection, making it highly effective for most common security needs. "Pro" or higher-tier versions typically offer more advanced analytics (like facial recognition, people counting), higher resolution options, specialized lenses, or more robust build qualities for extreme environments, catering to more complex or large-scale installations.
Q: Will the white light and/or audio alerts activate automatically?
A: The white light for Smart Dual Light will activate automatically when a human or vehicle target is detected in the monitoring area at night. The built-in microphone continuously captures audio, but there is no mention of an automatic audio alarm or siren in the provided specifications. For active deterrence with audio, a camera with a built-in speaker and configurable audio alarms would be needed.
