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
This camera intelligently balances night-time surveillance and light pollution management with its Smart Dual Illumination system. By default, it operates in IR-only mode at night, providing discreet, low-light imaging that avoids disturbing nearby residents or wildlife with harsh lighting. When the camera detects motion, it activates a warm LED light that switches the video feed to full-color mode, capturing crucial details such as vehicle colors, clothing, and facial features. This dual-illumination approach not only enhances forensic value but also acts as a natural deterrent, discouraging unwanted activity without relying on glaring white floodlights all night long.
Built-In Two-Way Audio
Equipped with dual microphones and a built-in speaker, the DH-IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV-ANZ supports real-time two-way audio communication. Operators can:
- Challenge trespassers or suspicious individuals remotely
-
Interact with delivery personnel or visitors
This feature integrates seamlessly with the Dahua app or compatible Network Video Recorders (NVRs), allowing convenient and immediate voice communication wherever you are.
Advanced Active Deterrence
This camera goes beyond passive monitoring with its active deterrence features, including:
-
Built-in red and blue warning lights to alert and intimidate potential intruders
-
Customizable audio sirens, allowing you to upload personalized warning messages or select from predefined sounds
By integrating with Intelligent Video Surveillance (IVS) rules, these deterrents can be precisely triggered only when humans enter designated zones, minimizing false alarms and enhancing security effectiveness.
AI IVS + SMD 4.0
Enhanced with the latest AI-powered Intelligent Video Surveillance (IVS), this system offers sophisticated event detection such as:
- Tripwire crossing
-
Intrusion detection
What sets it apart is the AI’s ability to differentiate between humans, vehicles, and irrelevant motion, significantly reducing false positives caused by animals, weather, or foliage movement.
Additionally, when paired with AI-enabled NVRs, the Smart Motion Detection (SMD) 4.0 technology enables quick and efficient retrieval of footage involving actual people or vehicles through the Quick Pick filtering feature, accelerating investigations and reducing review time.
Cybersecurity Features
The camera incorporates robust cybersecurity measures to protect both video data and device integrity, including:
-
Encrypted video streams and firmware updates to prevent interception and tampering
- Secure HTTPS web access
-
IP address and MAC filtering to restrict device access to authorized users only
- Multi-level user authentication and role management
-
Certificate-based authorization ensuring only trusted firmware and software run on the device
These security protocols help prevent hacking attempts and unauthorized access, making the camera suitable for sensitive and high-risk environments such as government facilities, corporate campuses, and critical infrastructure.
While the DH-IPC-HDW3849H-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
Q: Does it light up all night long?
No – it uses IR normally, and only activates the warm light when a human or vehicle is detected, reducing light pollution.
Q: Can I turn the siren or light off?
Yes – deterrent features can be turned off or scheduled using the app or through alarm input disarming.
Q: Can I talk through the camera?
Yes – it has built-in microphones and a speaker, enabling two-way talk directly through the app or NVR.
Q: Is it good for outdoor use?
Absolutely – the camera is IP67-rated and has a solid metal housing for durability in all weather.
Q: Does it work with non-Dahua NVRs?
Yes – it supports ONVIF (Profile S, G, T) and is compatible with most third-party recorders like Milestone.
Q: What's better: 2.8 mm or 3.6 mm lens?
2.8 mm is wider and better for small yards or broad views. 3.6 mm provides more detail at longer distances.
Q: Can it detect animals?
It detects motion but uses AI to ignore animals, reducing false alerts from pets or wildlife.
Q: How loud is the siren?
It’s audible up to ~10–15 m, enough to deter intruders but not excessively loud for residential areas.
