Dahua DH-IPC-HDW3866TP-ZS-AUS-BLK — 8 MP 4K Motorised Vari-Focal Starlight IR Eyeball Turret WizSense 3 Network Camera Black (3866 Series)

The DH-IPC-HDW3866TP-ZS-AUS-BLK is Dahua's 3866-series 8 MP 4K WizSense 3 motorised eyeball turret finished in a black housing. At its core is a 1/2.7" CMOS Starlight sensor that records 3840 × 2160 (true 4K) at 15 fps, or 4 MP when full 25/30 fps is needed. Its motorised 2.7–13.5 mm vari-focal lens spans a broad 102° view at 2.7 mm through to a narrow 27° at 13.5 mm, and can be re-framed remotely from the DMSS app. Integrated IR covers distances up to 40 m, WDR is rated at 120 dB, and the compact metal turret body carries an IP67 seal. The WizSense 3 deep-learning Pro AI engine handles perimeter protection (tripwire, intrusion, fast-moving, loitering) with human and vehicle classification, alongside SMD 4.0 and AcuPick attribute search. A built-in microphone and 1/1 RCA audio I/O round out the hardware. The black housing disappears against dark eaves, soffits, awnings and architectural feature surfaces, making it a favourite for contemporary residential, retail and commercial projects. Covered by a 3-year Australian warranty. SKU 3866 series.

Why Choose the Dahua HDW3866TP-ZS-AUS-BLK WizSense 3 4K Motorised Turret

True 4K Detail (8 MP)

Native 3840 × 2160 recording at 15 fps, or 4 MP at a full 25/30 fps. That's 4× the pixel density of 1080p, giving identification-grade detail even at range.

Motorised 5× Vari-Focal

The 2.7–13.5 mm motorised vari-focal lens lets you mount the camera wide, then zoom onto the zone that matters — all through DMSS.

Discreet Black Eyeball Form

The black metal turret sits unobtrusively against dark eaves, soffits, awnings and feature surfaces, and its matte black finish complements modern architecture.

WizSense 3 + AcuPick

The WizSense 3 chip drives perimeter protection, SMD 4.0 and AcuPick attribute search.

40 m IR + Starlight

The 1/2.7" Starlight sensor holds usable colour under moonlight, while 40 m of IR takes over in total darkness.

Built-in Mic + Audio I/O

An onboard microphone plus RCA audio in/out supports two-way talk integration.

Important Install Note

The motorised vari-focal lens can be adjusted remotely through DMSS. The eyeball gimbal offers ±75° pan, ±75° tilt and 0–360° rotation, so alignment during installation is flexible. Note that at full 4K resolution the frame rate is capped at 15 fps — switch down to 4 MP if you need smooth 25/30 fps motion. A white version is also available as the DH-IPC-HDW3866TP-ZS-AUS.
