WizSense 3 · 8 MP 4K · Smart Dual Light · AcuPickDahua DH-IPC-HDW3867EM-S-IL-ANZ — 8 MP 4K Smart Dual Light AcuPick Fixed-Focal Eyeball Turret WizSense 3 Network Camera (3867 Series)
The Dahua DH-IPC-HDW3867EM-S-IL-ANZ is the 3867 series 8 MP 4K WizSense 3 eyeball turret with native AcuPick attribute search. Built around a 1/1.8" CMOS Starlight sensor, it captures 3840 × 2160 at 25/30 fps with Smart H.265+ encoding. Smart Dual Light pairs a 30 m IR illuminator with a 50 m warm-light array — the camera runs invisible IR after dark until WizSense classifies a person or vehicle, then the warm light flips on the target for full-colour evidence. The 2.8 mm F1.6 fixed lens delivers a wide 113° field of view; WDR is 120 dB; the compact 105 mm housing is IP67 sealed across −40 °C to +60 °C (Alpine-rated). Built-in microphone, RCA audio I/O and 1/1 alarm wet-contact pair round out the spec. Edge AcuPick, SMD 4.0 and perimeter protection run on the WizSense 3 deep-learning chip; peak draw is only ~10 W on standard 802.3af PoE. Built for Australian residential, NDIS, small-business, retail interior and shopfront installs where a discreet ceiling-mounted 4K turret is preferred over a visible bullet. Backed by a 3-year Australian warranty through CCTV Guru as authorised Dahua AU reseller. SKU 3867 series.
Why Choose the Dahua HDW3867EM-S-IL-ANZ WizSense 3 8 MP Turret
True 8 MP 4K Detail
Native 3840 × 2160 raster — four times the pixel density of 1080p. Digital zoom into faces, plates and signage stays usable instead of dissolving into noise. The 4K standard from a discreet eyeball turret.
Smart Dual Light — IR 30 m + Warm 50 m
30 m IR runs invisibly until WizSense classifies a person or vehicle, then the 50 m warm-light array switches on the target to capture full-colour evidence. Longest warm-light reach in its class.
AcuPick-Ready Edge AI
Paired with a Dahua AcuPick NVR, you can search hours of recorded video by attributes — "red top, blue trousers, walking east" — and pull matching clips in seconds rather than scrubbing the timeline by hand.
1/1.8" Starlight Sensor
The large 1/1.8" CMOS captures usable colour at exceptionally low light levels. Combined with the F1.6 aperture, the camera reaches deep into twilight before the Smart Dual Light needs to engage.
120 dB WDR for AU Sun
Strong wide dynamic range holds detail in both the bright sky and the dark interior in a single frame — important for awning-shaded entries, glass shopfronts and high-contrast midday sun.
Best-in-Class Cold-Weather Rating
Rated −40 °C to +60 °C — the widest operating window in the 3867 turret family. Suitable for Alpine NSW, Tasmanian highland and Tasmanian frosts.
Important Install Note
This camera is fixed-focal (2.8 mm) — frame at install time. The eyeball gimbal allows ±75° pan, ±75° tilt and 0–360° rotation. For coastal or humid Australian installs, pair with the DH-PFA137 in-ceiling junction box to keep condensation off the RJ-45 termination. Audio recording note: NDIS, retail and public-space sites should check local audio-recording legislation before enabling sound recording on the built-in microphone.
AI & Smart Detection Capabilities
AcuPick Target Search
Deep-learning attribute matching across people and vehicles. Search recorded video by colour, top/bottom clothing, vehicle type and direction — when paired with a compatible Dahua AcuPick NVR.
SMD 4.0 — Smart Motion Detection
Motion alerts triggered only by humans and vehicles. Wind-blown branches, possums and shadows are filtered out at the edge — slashing false-alarm volume.
Perimeter Protection (IVS)
Configurable tripwire and intrusion zones with human-and-vehicle classification. Draw a line across a driveway or a polygon around a yard and only get pushed an alert when the right type of target crosses it.
Smart Dual Light Deterrence
When WizSense classifies a person, the 50 m warm-light array triggers automatically — leaving subjects in no doubt they have been captured in full colour. Passive deterrent that costs nothing extra.
AI SSA — Scene Self-Adaptation
The camera detects environmental conditions like rain, fog, backlight, low light and flicker, and automatically adjusts image parameters to keep the scene clear.
Built-In Audio & Alarm I/O
Built-in microphone plus RCA audio I/O for external mic/speaker; 1/1 alarm wet-contact pair for third-party alarm system integration.

How It Compares — HDW3867EM (8 MP) vs HDW3667EM (6 MP)
The natural sibling is the Dahua DH-IPC-HDW3667EM-S-IL-ANZ — the 6 MP version of the same WizSense 3 Smart Dual Light turret. The decision is whether you want 8 MP 4K pixel density (this camera) or 6 MP at a lower price (sibling) with the same WizSense 3 + AcuPick + Smart Dual Light feature set.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Dahua HDW3867EM-S-IL-ANZ NDAA compliant?
No. Dahua is not certified under NDAA Section 889.
What does "Smart Dual Light" mean?
The camera has both IR illuminators and warm-light LEDs. After dark it runs invisible IR; when WizSense classifies a person or vehicle in the scene, the warm light automatically switches on the target for full-colour evidence capture.
Does the camera include AcuPick?
Yes — AcuPick attribute search is built into the camera's WizSense 3 firmware. To search recorded footage by attributes (clothing colour, vehicle type, direction) you must record to a compatible Dahua 5-Series AcuPick NVR.
Does it have IR or warm light?
Both — 30 m IR + 50 m warm light. The 50 m warm light reach is the longest in the 3867 turret family. IR runs continuously after dark; warm light switches on for full-colour events only.
Can I run this camera on standard PoE?
Yes — 802.3af-compliant and pulls a maximum of ~10 W. Any quality 802.3af switch will run it comfortably.
What temperature range is it rated for?
−40 °C to +60 °C. Suitable for Alpine NSW, Tasmania, the Pilbara and every site in between.
Does it have a microphone?
Yes — built-in mic plus RCA audio input/output for external mic or speaker.
Does it work with third-party NVRs?
Yes — ONVIF Profile S, G and T. AcuPick attribute search and SMD 4.0 alarm push only work end-to-end on a genuine Dahua AI NVR.
What's the difference between this and the 6 MP HDW3667EM?
Same WizSense 3 platform, AcuPick and Smart Dual Light. This 8 MP version has a 1/1.8" larger sensor for forensic 4K detail and 50 m warm light (vs 30 m on the 6 MP). The 6 MP saves storage budget at the cost of pixel density and warm-light reach.
Can I view it on my phone?
Yes — Dahua's free DMSS app on iOS and Android.
