-
Audio I/O & built-in mic – supports two-way communication and recording.
-
IK10 vandal & IP67 weatherproofing – built for resilience in exposed and public spaces.
-
Smart H.265+/H.264+ tech – reduces bandwidth/storage use with intelligent compression.

Perfect For:
- Building entrances and lobby coverage
- Parking garage or driveway surveillance
- Schools and campus corridors
- Public spaces susceptible to vandalism
- Infrastructure or facility perimeters
- Retail or commercial loading zones
Install Tips
- Mount at 3–4 m to optimize face and vehicle detection while minimizing blind spots.
- Use motorized zoom to tweak framing post-install, especially useful for changing environments like parking lots.
- Point IR LEDs at background surfaces to avoid glare on domes or reflective materials.
- Place away from strong lights to improve AI perimeter detection accuracy.
- Pair with ONVIF-compatible NVRs to leverage features like smart search and Quick Pick.
- Secure the dome with conduit or junction boxes (e.g. PFA137) for vandal-resistant and tidy installations.

Extra Info
Motorized Vari‑focal Lens – Flexible Remote Zoom from 109° to 30°
Equipped with a motorized vari-focal lens, this camera allows you to remotely adjust the field of view between a wide 109° angle and a narrow 30° focus. Whether you need broad coverage or detailed zoom, the adjustment can be made via NVR, web interface, or app—eliminating the need for ladder access or manual focusing. Perfect for installations in high ceilings, poles, or hard-to-reach outdoor areas.
Smart Motion Detection 4.0 & Perimeter Protection – Intelligent Alerts That Matter
This camera integrates SMD 4.0 (Smart Motion Detection) with AI-driven perimeter protection, filtering out irrelevant motion such as animals, wind-blown objects, or rain. Only human and vehicle movements trigger alerts. With a compatible AI-enabled NVR, the Quick Pick feature lets you rapidly search for and review events involving specific object types—saving hours of footage review time. Ideal for gated communities, parking lots, and commercial perimeters.
AI SSA (Scene Self‑Adaptation) – Real-Time Image Optimization
The AI Scene Self-Adaptive imaging system continuously analyzes the visual environment and adjusts camera settings on the fly to enhance clarity. It compensates for difficult scenarios such as glare, fog, rain, backlight, or uneven lighting, ensuring consistent exposure, detail, and contrast. Ideal for locations with unpredictable lighting or outdoor environments.
Robust Protection & Cybersecurity – Built for Safety and Security
Designed for harsh conditions, this camera offers IP67-rated weatherproofing and IK10 vandal resistance, ensuring long-term durability in exposed or high-risk areas. On the cybersecurity side, it supports advanced protections including TLS/SSL encryption, HTTPS secure access, firmware authentication, secure boot, and user access controls. These features ensure compliance with modern IT security standards, making the camera fit for corporate, government, or high-security environments.
Smart Compression – Optimized Storage Without Compromise
Featuring Smart H.265+ and H.264+ encoding, the camera automatically adjusts bitrate depending on motion and scene complexity, reducing file sizes without losing critical visual details. This saves up to 70% in bandwidth and storage costs, making it ideal for systems with multiple cameras, limited hard drive space, or cloud-based backups.
While the IPC-HDBW3666RP-ZAS-AUS does not feature built-in AcuPick, it supports AcuPick search functions when connected to an AI-capable Dahua NVR. The camera transmits AI metadata (such as SMD 4.0 events, face detection, and perimeter triggers), which the NVR uses to enable advanced search and filtering capabilities.
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 zoom after installation?
– Yes. The motorized 2.7–13.5 mm lens allows remote zoom adjustment without touching the camera.
Does it record colour at night?
– No. It uses IR night vision, but image clarity remains high due to advanced IR LEDs.
