Dahua DH-IPC-HFW3867T-ZAS-IL-ANZ — 8MP 4K Smart Dual Light Motorised Vari-Focal AcuPick Bullet
The Dahua DH-IPC-HFW3867T-ZAS-IL-ANZ is an 8MP 4K motorised vari-focal bullet in the WizSense 3 Series · Smart Dual Light line — built around a 1/2.7" CMOS sensor, a 2.7–13.5 mm motorised zoom lens with F1.4 aperture, and four multi-core LEDs delivering both 60 m IR and 60 m warm-light illumination. The Smart Dual Light system runs invisible IR by default and switches to warm-light LED for full-colour image the moment a person or vehicle is detected — giving you clean colour evidence at the event, without the constant light spill of a full-time warm-light camera.
Unlike the TiOC bullets, the 3867T-ZAS-IL has no red/blue strobe, no on-board siren and no voice broadcast — it's a focused silent surveillance camera. What it does add over the IR-only 3866TP is the warm-light LED for full-colour night image, AcuPick AI attribute search, 16 Mbps bitrate ceiling, 512 GB MicroSD support, ONVIF Profile M and dual-power backup. Combined with SMD 4.0, EIS image stabilisation, AI Coding and AI SSA, it's the mid-tier sweet spot of Dahua's 8MP bullet line. Available in White and Black. Australian stock, 3-year Australian warranty.

Why Choose the Smart Dual Light AcuPick Bullet
The 3867T-ZAS-IL is the mid-tier 8MP bullet — between the silent IR-only 3866TP and the TiOC-deterrence 3849T1-ZAS-PV. It's the camera Australian installers reach for when they want colour evidence at night without the visible deterrent of red/blue strobe lights, plus the AcuPick AI workflow for fast post-incident search. Long perimeters, rural driveways, schools, healthcare, retail interiors and any site where colour identification matters more than active deterrence — this is the right tool.
Smart Dual Light — Colour Evidence on Detection
By default the camera uses invisible IR illumination out to 60 m for silent monitoring. The instant SMD 4.0 detects a human or vehicle, it switches to 60 m warm-light LED and records full-colour video — capturing clothing colour, vehicle paint and facial detail that IR alone cannot deliver.
2.7–13.5 mm Motorised Vari-Focal
Five-times optical zoom with remote focus and zoom via DMSS or a Dahua NVR. Set the field of view once at install, then re-tune from your phone — no ladder, no re-aiming. Close focus down to 0.1 m for tight near-field shots.
AcuPick AI Target Search
Paired with a Dahua 5-Series AcuPick NVR, AcuPick indexes every human and vehicle event by attribute — clothing colour, vehicle type, direction — so you find any face or plate across a week of footage in seconds rather than scrubbing timelines.
F1.4 Large Aperture + 1/2.7" Sensor
An F1.4 maximum aperture across the entire zoom range pulls in significantly more light than a typical F1.6 lens, producing clean colour image at low light and reducing how often the warm-light LED needs to fire.
Massive DORI Reach at Tele
At maximum zoom the 3867T will detect motion at 280 m, recognise a person at 56 m, and identify a face at 28 m. One camera secures a typical Australian residential block end-to-end.
Built Tough for Australia
All-metal IP67 chassis with EIS stabilisation, ±30% wide-voltage tolerance, dual-power backup (PoE + 12 V DC simultaneously) and a −30 °C to +60 °C operating range — engineered for coastal salt, outback heat and unstable rural mains.
Smart Features for Real-World Australian Sites
Dahua Smart Dual Illuminators — Official English Overview
Remote Zoom & Auto-Focus
Adjust the 2.7–13.5 mm zoom from the DMSS app or a Dahua NVR. The motor handles focus automatically as the lens zooms — no manual focus turret to fiddle with at the camera.
SMD 4.0 + IVS Perimeter Protection
On-camera Smart Motion Detection 4.0 classifies humans and vehicles while filtering out animals, foliage and weather. IVS tripwire and intrusion detection trigger smart alerts — no false alarms from leaves in the wind.
EIS Image Stabilisation
Electronic Image Stabilisation corrects subtle vibration on long-zoom shots from a pole, gable or fence — keeping the image steady at 13.5 mm telephoto where small movements are most visible.
AI Coding — Lower Bandwidth & Storage
Dahua's AI Coding (AI H.265 / AI H.264) analyses the scene and dedicates bitrate only to objects of interest, reducing storage and transmission cost over standard Smart H.265+.
Dual Sub-Streams at Full HD
Three streams simultaneously — Main 4K, plus a 1920 × 1080 sub-stream and a 1920 × 1080 third stream — gives flexibility for live view, mobile streaming and NVR recording at sharper resolution than typical D1 sub-streams.
Dual-Power Backup
Connect both 12 V DC and PoE simultaneously — if one source fails, the camera keeps running on the other. Useful for critical-uptime sites and rural installs with unreliable mains.
Pair with a Dahua 5-Series NVR for the Full AcuPick Experience
SMD 4.0, IVS rules and Smart Dual Light auto-switching all run on-camera and work with any Dahua AI NVR. But to unlock AcuPick — attribute-based human and vehicle target search, similar-image cross-camera tracking and AI-accelerated playback — you need a compatible Dahua 5-Series AcuPick NVR.

3867T-ZAS-IL vs 3866TP-ZAS-AUS — Smart Dual Light or IR-Only?
Both cameras are 8MP 4K motorised vari-focal bullets sharing the same WizSense 3 architecture, SMD 4.0, IVS perimeter protection, EIS stabilisation and AI Coding. Neither has TiOC active deterrence. The deciding question is the illuminator and AI tier: do you want Smart Dual Light with full-colour evidence on detection and AcuPick AI search, or pure IR-only silent monitoring? The 3867T-ZAS-IL adds a 60 m warm-light LED for colour image, AcuPick attribute search, double the bitrate ceiling and double the MicroSD capacity. The 3866TP-ZAS-AUS is the simpler, cheaper IR-only option.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this camera have active deterrence (strobe / siren)?
No. The 3867T-ZAS-IL is a silent Smart Dual Light surveillance camera — no red/blue strobe, no built-in siren, no voice broadcast. If you need active deterrence, look at the Dahua TiOC line-up (HFW3849T1-ZAS-PV-ANZ-S2 is the closest equivalent in the same form factor).
How is Smart Dual Light different from full-colour cameras?
Full-colour cameras run the warm-light LED constantly at night — clearly visible from outside, with light spill that can disturb neighbours. Smart Dual Light defaults to invisible IR for normal monitoring; the warm-light LED only fires when SMD 4.0 detects a real human or vehicle, then auto-switches back to IR. Less light pollution, less wear on the LED, full-colour evidence only when it matters.
Does it support AcuPick AI search?
Yes — AcuPick is supported on this camera when paired with a compatible Dahua 5-Series AcuPick NVR. AcuPick indexes attribute metadata (clothing colour, vehicle type, direction) so you can search hours of footage in seconds. Shop AcuPick NVRs here →
How does this compare to the IR-only 3866TP bullet?
Same 8MP / 4K sensor, same 2.7–13.5 mm motorised lens, same WizSense AI core. The 3867T-ZAS-IL adds a 60 m warm-light LED for colour image, AcuPick AI search, 16 Mbps bitrate (vs 8 Mbps), 512 GB MicroSD support (vs 256 GB), dual-power backup, and Full HD on both sub-streams. The 3866TP is the cheaper IR-only option for sites where colour at night isn't required.
Can the camera pan and tilt remotely?
No. The 3867T-ZAS-IL is a motorised vari-focal bullet, not a PTZ. The lens supports remote zoom and auto-focus, but the camera body itself does not pan or tilt remotely — the housing is aimed manually at install time. For a fully remote pan/tilt/zoom camera, look at a Dahua PTZ.
What does the camera see at night?
By default it uses 60 m IR illumination for invisible monitoring. When SMD 4.0 detects a person or vehicle, the warm-light LED switches on (also 60 m) and the camera captures full-colour 4K — clothing colour, vehicle paint, facial detail. Once the target leaves, it switches back to IR.
Does it have a built-in microphone?
Yes — the camera has a built-in microphone for capturing scene audio. There is also 1 audio in / 1 audio out (RCA) for connecting an external mic or speaker, plus 1 alarm in / 1 alarm out for PIRs or door contacts. (No built-in speaker.)
Will it keep recording if the NVR or internet goes down?
Yes. The on-board MicroSD slot accepts cards up to 512 GB and records 4K footage independently of the NVR. Combined with dual-power backup (PoE + 12 V DC simultaneously), the camera has multiple layers of redundancy.
Is the camera suitable for Australian outdoor conditions?
Yes. It is rated IP67 and −30 °C to +60 °C — covering every Australian climate from a Hobart winter to a Karratha summer. The all-metal housing and ±30% wide-voltage tolerance also handle dirty mains power common on rural sites.
Does it work with Hikvision NVRs or third-party VMS?
Yes — recording, streaming, motion and the WizSense AI metadata work over ONVIF Profile S/G/T/M on most third-party NVRs and VMS platforms (Milestone, Genetec, Hanwha WAVE, ExacqVision, Blue Iris, Synology). However, AcuPick attribute search requires a Dahua 5-Series AcuPick NVR.
What is the warranty and where is it serviced?
This camera ships with a 3-year Australian Dahua warranty, serviced back-to-base by Dahua Australia. CCTV Guru handles the entire RA process and provides Australian-based technical support for the life of the product.
Do you ship Australia-wide and is stock genuine?
