Install Tips
- Choose 2.8 mm for wide scenes or 6 mm for focused views (e.g. gates).
- Insert a SIM card with a data plan and check network compatibility (LTE B1/B3/B8 common in PH).
- For solar setups, ensure RS-485 communication is active to overlay battery status.
- Use wall (PFB121W) or pole mounts (PFA121+PFA152-E) for flexible install options.
- Maximize low-light image quality by avoiding strong direct lighting sources.
- Test 4G signal strength during install; avoid metallic enclosures or obstructions.

Extra Info
4G Standalone Operation – No Network Cables Needed
This camera features a built-in 4G LTE modem, allowing it to operate independently without requiring LAN or Wi-Fi connectivity. Compatible with 2G, 3G, and 4G LTE bands, it’s perfect for remote areas, temporary installations, or mobile surveillance setups like construction sites, rural farms, and off-grid facilities. Just insert a SIM card, and it’s ready to stream and record.
SMD 3.0 Motion Detection – Reliable Alerts, Fewer False Alarms
With Smart Motion Detection (SMD) 3.0, the camera uses intelligent algorithms to filter out non-threatening motion such as falling leaves, rain, insects, or small animals. It focuses on identifying humans and vehicles, reducing false alerts and ensuring operators are notified only when it really matters—enhancing situational awareness in critical zones like gates, driveways, or perimeters.
Solar-Ready + RS-485 Integration – Perfect for Off-Grid Use
Tailored for solar-powered systems, this camera supports low-power standby modes and integrates with RS-485 communication for displaying real-time solar battery and voltage status via the on-screen display (OSD). It’s ideal for unattended installations, allowing users to monitor battery performance remotely—key for long-term reliability in energy-limited environments.
IR Night Vision + WDR – 24/7 Visibility in Any Light
The camera delivers clear nighttime images up to 50 meters with powerful IR LED illumination. Combined with Starlight low-light technology, it captures usable images in near-dark conditions even before IR kicks in. Additionally, Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) compensates for high-contrast scenes—so details in both shadowed and brightly lit areas remain visible and sharp.
Rugged Protection – Built for the Outdoors
Engineered for extreme environments, the camera features a weatherproof IP67-rated housing that defends against dust, water, and humidity. It also tolerates temperature extremes and fluctuating power input, which is especially valuable when paired with solar power systems or used in volatile climates. The unit's wide voltage tolerance ensures stable performance, even during voltage dips from charging cycles or unstable solar output.
While the DH-IPC-HFW3241DF-AS-4G does not feature built-in AcuPick, it supports AcuPick search functions when connected to an AI-capable Dahua NVR. The camera sends AI metadata (such as SMD 3.0 motion events and perimeter classifications), which the NVR uses to enable fast, intelligent search and playback.
Benefits via AI NVR Integration:
- Search by human or vehicle presence
- Filter playback using traits like mask, gender, or clothing
- Skip irrelevant footage and jump to key events instantly
- Use AI-driven logs and smart snapshots from camera metadata
Q&A
Can I use this camera without internet cables?
– Yes. Just insert a 4G SIM card, and it connects wirelessly for live monitoring and alerts.
Is this camera solar compatible?
– Yes. It supports solar-powered setups and RS-485 battery status overlay.
Does it work at night?
– Yes. It uses IR LEDs to see up to 50 m and also performs well in low-light thanks to Starlight tech.
How accurate is the motion detection?
– With SMD 3.0 and perimeter protection, it reliably detects and filters for humans/vehicles.
What if I lose 4G signal?
– The camera stores video locally on a microSD card (up to 256 GB) and resumes remote access once 4G returns.
