This is an 8MP full-colour Starlight camera with a built-in red and blue strobe, white illuminator, and two-way audio - meaning it can visually challenge an intruder and broadcast a spoken warning the moment AI detects a person or vehicle, without requiring a control room operator to be watching. The AcuPick function lets operators pull up footage of a specific person or vehicle quickly, cutting through hours of review. It suits small-to-medium commercial premises, school entrances, retail car parks, and residential complexes where visible deterrence is wanted without the footprint of a bullet or floodlight camera. The turret form factor mounts cleanly on an eave, soffit, or wall, making it practical for installers working on sites where camera aesthetics still matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 16px; font-weight: 700; margin: 20px 0 8px 0; padding-bottom: 6px; border-bottom: 3px solid #e8735a;\"\u003eWhat This Camera Actually Does\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; gap: 16px; margin: 10px 0 18px 0;\"\u003e\n  \u003cdiv style=\"flex: 1 1 260px; padding: 16px 18px; background: #fff; box-shadow: 0 2px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.08); border-radius: 6px;\"\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 6px 0; font-weight: 700; font-size: 15px; color: #1a1a2e;\"\u003eActive Deterrence (TiOC)\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin: 0; line-height: 1.65; color: #444; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eWhen the AI classifies a person or vehicle intrusion, the camera triggers a red and blue strobe and a white floodlight simultaneously. A pre-recorded or live audio warning can be broadcast through the built-in speaker - all without requiring operator input.

The built-in white illuminator supplements this in full darkness. Footage retains colour detail - clothing, vehicle colour, skin tone - which significantly increases the evidential and identification value of after-dark recordings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv style=\"flex: 1 1 260px; padding: 16px 18px; background: #fff; box-shadow: 0 2px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.08); border-radius: 6px;\"\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 6px 0; font-weight: 700; font-size: 15px; color: #1a1a2e;\"\u003eAcuPick AI Search\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin: 0; line-height: 1.65; color: #444; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eAcuPick allows an operator to select a detected person or vehicle from a snapshot and search recorded footage for matching appearances. Instead of scrubbing through hours of footage manually, results are returned in seconds.

The combination of 8MP full-colour Starlight imaging, on-camera active deterrence, SMD Plus 4.0 classification, and AcuPick search in a standard turret housing is not a common package at this price tier. For sites where a visible strobe response to a detected person matters - car parks, school gates, rear yards - it removes the need for separate siren accessories. The two-way audio adds communication utility without additional wiring. Available through Security Australia as part of the Dahua ANZ range, it is also backed by local firmware support and warranty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhere it has limits: the fixed focal length lens means it is not suitable for long-approach coverage - a bullet camera with motorised zoom serves that need better. AcuPick and active deterrence features require a compatible Dahua WizSense NVR or recorder to function fully; they will not activate on a generic third-party NVR. If the priority is monitoring a wide open area or tracking movement across a large site, a PTZ or multi-sensor camera will outperform this model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 16px; font-weight: 700; margin: 20px 0 8px 0; padding-bottom: 6px; border-bottom: 3px solid #e8735a;\"\u003eBefore You Buy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border-left: 4px solid #e8735a; padding: 12px 16px; margin: 10px 0; background: #fdf8f6;\"\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin: 0; line-height: 1.7;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNVR Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e The AcuPick search function and SMD Plus 4.0 AI filtering require a compatible Dahua WizSense or Pro AI NVR.

The camera's SMD Plus 4.0 AI classifies detected targets as human or vehicle and triggers the red\/blue strobe, white illuminator, and audio alarm without operator input. Rules-based schedules can be configured on the NVR so deterrence only activates during specific hours, such as after business close, to prevent false triggers during the day.\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli style=\"margin: 12px 0;\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 14px; font-weight: 700; margin: 0 0 4px 0;\"\u003eWill this camera work on a non-Dahua NVR?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    Partially.

However, AcuPick person\/vehicle search, SMD Plus 4.0 AI filtering, and the TiOC active deterrence trigger all require a compatible Dahua WizSense or Pro AI NVR to function. On a third-party recorder, the camera records video but operates as a standard IP camera with no AI alarm, no deterrence automation, and no smart search capability.\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli style=\"margin: 12px 0;\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 14px; font-weight: 700; margin: 0 0 4px 0;\"\u003eWhat does AcuPick actually do in practice, and how accurate is it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    AcuPick is an AI-powered forensic search tool. An operator selects a person or vehicle from a recorded snapshot, and the system searches all footage from connected cameras for matching body features and vehicle characteristics - returning results in seconds rather than hours. It works on appearance attributes such as clothing colour, body build, and vehicle type captured in the 8MP footage. AcuPick functions on-NVR and does not require a cloud connection. Accuracy is dependent on image quality, camera angle, and lighting conditions at the time of capture.\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli style=\"margin: 12px 0;\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 14px; font-weight: 700; margin: 0 0 4px 0;\"\u003eDoes this camera produce colour footage at night without any external lighting?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    Yes. The Starlight sensor is designed to produce colour images at very low ambient light levels - streetlight, signage, or spill lighting is often sufficient. In full darkness the built-in white illuminator activates to supplement the sensor. Unlike traditional IR cameras, footage does not switch to black-and-white at night, which preserves clothing colour, vehicle colour, and skin tone detail in after-dark recordings. The white illuminator does briefly illuminate the scene when active, which is a visible light source, not invisible IR.\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli style=\"margin: 12px 0;\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 14px; font-weight: 700; margin: 0 0 4px 0;\"\u003eWhat is the difference between SMD Plus 4.0 and standard motion detection on this camera?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    SMD Plus 4.0 uses on-camera AI to classify moving objects as human, vehicle, or non-target before generating an alert. Standard pixel-change motion detection triggers on any movement - wind-blown branches, insects, lighting changes, or passing car headlights. On a site with significant environmental movement, standard detection can generate dozens of false alerts per night. SMD Plus 4.0 ignores non-target movement and only alerts on confirmed human or vehicle classification, which is why this model is specified on sites where notification fatigue from false alarms is a problem.\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli style=\"margin: 12px 0;\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 14px; font-weight: 700; margin: 0 0 4px 0;\"\u003eHow much storage does 8MP H.265+ recording actually consume, and how long will footage last on a typical NVR?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    Storage consumption depends on scene complexity, frame rate, and bitrate settings. At 8MP with H.265+, a single camera recording continuously at a typical bitrate of 4-6 Mbps uses approximately 50-75 GB per day. On a 4TB NVR with 4 cameras, continuous recording typically provides 10-14 days of retention. In practice, SMD Plus 4.0 event-based recording - only storing footage when a human or vehicle is detected - can extend retention significantly compared to continuous recording, which is a common configuration for TiOC installs. The team at Security Australia can assist with storage planning based on your camera count and retention requirements.\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli style=\"margin: 12px 0;\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 14px; font-weight: 700; margin: 0 0 4px 0;\"\u003eWhat PoE standard does this camera require, and will a standard PoE switch power it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    The DH-IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV-PRO-ANZ supports IEEE 802.3af\/at PoE. When the active deterrence strobe and white illuminator are firing simultaneously, power draw increases above the 15.4W limit of standard 802.3af. A PoE+ (802.3at) switch or injector rated to at least 25.5W per port is recommended to ensure stable operation during active deterrence events. Standard 802.3af switches may work in passive recording mode but can cause instability or camera resets when the TiOC strobe and illuminator activate together. Confirm your switch's per-port wattage before finalising the install.\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli style=\"margin: 12px 0;\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 14px; font-weight: 700; margin: 0 0 4px 0;\"\u003eWill this camera work for capturing number plates on a vehicle entry point?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    In some scenarios, yes, but with important limitations. At 8MP resolution with a wide-angle lens, number plate legibility depends heavily on the distance to the vehicle, the angle of approach, and the speed of travel. The full-colour Starlight sensor performs well in low light and the white illuminator helps at night, but this is not a dedicated ANPR camera. For a tight entry barrier or driveway where vehicles slow to near-stop within 4-6 metres of the camera, plate capture is achievable. For free-flow vehicle approaches at speed, a dedicated ANPR or bullet camera with a longer focal length and specialised ANPR configuration is a more appropriate choice.\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 16px; font-weight: 700; margin: 20px 0 8px 0; padding-bottom: 6px; border-bottom: 3px solid #e8735a;\"\u003eDownloads \u0026amp; Resources\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 12px 0;\"\u003eNo downloads available for this product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n  \"mainEntity\": [\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Question\",\n      \"name\": \"Does the active deterrence trigger automatically, or does someone have to activate it manually?\",\n      \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n        \"text\": \"Automatically - when connected to a compatible Dahua WizSense NVR.
