- Gates and Perimeters
- Warehouses
- Public Spaces
Install Tips
-
Optimal Mount Height: Mount the camera 2.5 to 3 meters high for the best angle of coverage.
-
IR Illumination vs. Warm Light: In areas with low ambient lighting, consider adjusting the settings to favor warm light for color video at night.
-
Lens Selection: Use the 2.8mm lens for wide-angle coverage (e.g., driveways, store entrances) and the 3.6mm lens for narrower, focused views (e.g., fences, gates).
-
Two-Way Audio Setup: Ensure the speaker and microphone are positioned to avoid obstructions for clear audio transmission.
-
PoE Power: If available, using PoE simplifies installation by providing both power and data through a single cable.

Extra Info
Smart Dual Illumination
This cutting-edge Smart Dual Illumination system ensures optimal visibility in all lighting conditions. The camera intelligently integrates infrared (IR) LEDs and warm white light to maximize performance:
-
At night or in low-light environments, the camera uses IR LEDs to provide discreet, monochrome visibility, ensuring surveillance continues even in complete darkness without disturbing the surroundings.
-
When motion is detected, especially from a human or vehicle, the camera switches to warm white light, activating full-color video for more detailed footage. This ensures that critical details—like facial features, vehicle color, and license plates—are captured in rich detail, even in the dark, without harsh lighting that can disrupt the environment.
This combination of infrared and warm light makes the camera perfect for perimeter security, parking lots, or high-risk areas, offering effective surveillance without the usual drawbacks of bright, disruptive lights.
Active Deterrence
The camera integrates Active Deterrence capabilities to prevent intruders before they even approach your property. This feature includes:
-
Flashing red and blue warning lights that act as a visual deterrent, alerting potential intruders that they are being monitored.
-
Built-in siren with customizable sounds, or the ability to upload your own message, to audibly warn trespassers.
Together, these elements form a proactive security strategy that deters intruders in real-time, making it an excellent choice for high-risk areas like construction sites, warehouses, and sensitive government or corporate locations. It’s particularly effective in locations where preemptive action is key to stopping unwanted visitors before they enter.
AI Motion Detection
Powered by Dahua’s Smart Motion Detection (SMD) technology, this camera is equipped with advanced AI algorithms to accurately classify detected motion. It distinguishes between:
-
Humans and vehicles for targeted alerts
-
Irrelevant objects like moving trees, animals, or passing shadows that typically trigger false alarms
The result is a significant reduction in false alerts, ensuring you are only notified when an actual threat or event occurs. This advanced motion detection is ideal for high-traffic areas or environments where sensitivity is crucial, such as business premises, public spaces, or restricted zones.
Cybersecurity
Security is paramount, and this camera is designed to safeguard both your video footage and network integrity. Key cybersecurity features include:
-
Built-in encryption for both video streams and stored footage, ensuring your data is protected from interception and unauthorized access.
-
Secure data transmission over HTTPS protocols, safeguarding against eavesdropping and tampering.
-
Comprehensive access controls with user authentication, IP filtering, and certificate-based authorization, allowing you to limit camera access to only authorized users and devices.
-
Firmware integrity measures that protect against unauthorized software modifications and potential vulnerabilities.
These enhanced security features make the camera an ideal choice for enterprise-level applications where maintaining privacy and data integrity is critical. It's particularly suitable for government buildings, financial institutions, and critical infrastructure where cybersecurity is a top priority.
While the DH-IPC-HDW3649H-AS-PV-ANZ does not feature built-in AcuPick, it supports AcuPick search functions when connected to an AI-capable Dahua NVR. The camera sends AI metadata (e.g., face detection, people counting, perimeter classifications) that the NVR uses for smart filtering and playback search.
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
Q1: Can this camera record in full color at night?
Yes, the camera automatically switches to warm light for full-color video when it detects motion, providing detailed images even in low light.
Q2: How loud is the siren?
The built-in siren is loud enough to alert anyone nearby and deter intruders. It can be triggered automatically when motion is detected or manually activated.
