WizSense 3 4K Bullet
Dahua DH-IPC-HFW3866EP-AS-AUS — 8 MP 4K Fixed-Focal Starlight IR Bullet WizSense 3 Network Camera (3866 Series, 2.8 mm)
The Dahua DH-IPC-HFW3866EP-AS-AUS is a true 8 MP 4K WizSense 3 bullet that combines a 1/2.7″ Starlight CMOS sensor with a wide 2.8 mm fixed lens (102° FoV) to deliver 3840 × 2160 footage at 25/30 fps — sharp enough to capture faces, plates and product detail across driveways, shop fronts, side paths and warehouse perimeters. Smart IR reaches 30 m, while AI SSA (Smart Scene Adaptation) optimises exposure for backlight, low-light and fast-changing scenes without manual tuning. WizSense 3 deep learning runs human and vehicle classification, SMD 4.0 false-alarm filtering and AcuPick metadata search, letting you scrub hours of footage by clothing colour, vehicle colour or direction in seconds. The sealed IP67 metal bullet supports microSD up to 256 GB, audio I/O, alarm I/O and 802.3af PoE, so a single Cat6 run handles power, video and edge recording. Backed by a 3-year Australian warranty through CCTV Guru, an authorised Dahua reseller.
Why Choose the Dahua DH-IPC-HFW3866EP-AS-AUS 4K Bullet
True 8 MP 4K Resolution
3840 × 2160 footage at 25/30 fps captures faces, plates and signage with the detail required for AU prosecutions and insurance claims.
Wide 2.8 mm Lens
102° horizontal field of view covers a wide front yard, driveway entry or shop floor with a single bullet — no lens swap required.
30 m Smart IR
Adaptive Smart IR keeps near-field subjects from blowing out while reaching 30 m down driveways, side paths and back gardens.
WizSense 3 + AcuPick
On-board human/vehicle classification plus AcuPick metadata search makes evidence retrieval fast on supported Dahua AI/ANZ NVRs.
AI SSA Auto-Tuning
AI Scene Self-Adaptation automatically adjusts shutter, gain and noise reduction for backlight, low-light and fast-moving scenes.
Starlight Sensor
1/2.7″ Starlight CMOS delivers vivid colour down to 0.003 lx — capture detail in twilight, low ambient or off-axis lighting.
Important Install Note
Mount the HFW3866EP-AS-AUS at 2.5–4 m on a wall or eave for residential driveways and shop fronts; the 2.8 mm wide lens provides ≈ 6 m optimal facial-ID range, with extended general coverage to 15 m. Use Cat6 from a single 802.3af PoE switch to handle power, video and edge recording on the microSD card. Pair with a Dahua AI/ANZ NVR running V5 firmware to unlock AcuPick metadata search and SMD 4.0 false-alarm filtering directly from the NVR or DMSS app.
AI & Smart Detection
Human / Vehicle Filter
WizSense 3 deep learning classifies humans and vehicles to suppress wildlife, weather and shadow false alarms in residential use.
SMD 4.0
Smart Motion Detection 4.0 filters non-relevant motion and pushes only humans / vehicles to the NVR or DMSS app.
AcuPick Metadata Search
Search hours of recorded footage by clothing colour, vehicle colour, body type and direction on supported Dahua NVRs — find a suspect in seconds.
Tripwire & Intrusion
Define tripwires and intrusion zones with directional rules — alerts fire only on classified human or vehicle targets.
AI SSA
AI Scene Self-Adaptation tunes exposure and noise reduction for backlit shop fronts, twilight driveways and reflective surfaces.
Smart Event Push
Push notifications to DMSS, alarm output and FTP/email upload on AI events — integrate with Dahua DSS or third-party VMS via ONVIF.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the HFW3866EP-AS-AUS NDAA compliant?No. Dahua cameras are not NDAA Section 889 compliant and should not be specified for US federal projects.
What does AcuPick do?AcuPick lets you search hours of footage by clothing colour, vehicle colour, body type and direction — cutting evidence retrieval from hours to seconds on supported Dahua NVRs.
How wide is the 2.8 mm lens?102° horizontal — wide enough for a typical driveway, front yard or shop floor without losing facial detail in the 0–6 m sweet spot.
How far does the IR reach?Smart IR up to 30 m — covers long driveways, side paths and warehouse perimeters with adaptive intensity to avoid overexposure.
Does it support PoE?Yes — 802.3af PoE handles power, video and edge recording over a single Cat6 run from your switch or NVR.
Can I record to an SD card?Yes — microSD up to 256 GB is supported for failover recording when the network or NVR is offline.
Does it work with my third-party VMS?Yes. ONVIF Profile S/G/T is supported — works with Milestone, Genetec, Exacq and Network Optix.
What is AI SSA?AI Scene Self-Adaptation automatically adjusts shutter, gain and noise reduction for backlit, low-light or fast-changing scenes — no manual tuning required.
What warranty applies in Australia?CCTV Guru provides a 3-year Australian warranty on WizSense 3 cameras including the HFW3866EP-AS-AUS, with local technical support.
