Field of view and DORI distances
The angles come from the manufacturer’s documentation for this model. A level’s distance is how deep along the camera axis the required pixel density holds; in practice the result also depends on light, viewing angle and video compression. The values may differ from the DORI in the datasheet: manufacturers calculate it by their own method, here it strictly follows the IEC 62676-4 density thresholds.

Dahua IPC-HFW3849T1-ZAS-PV is an intelligent outdoor WizSense-series camera with 8-megapixel resolution, a motorized varifocal lens and a dual illumination system. The motorized varifocal lens lets you change the field of view without physical access to the camera — directly from the NVR or VMS interface. The 1/2.8" sensor provides high detail and good light sensitivity, while dual illumination (IR and white light) gives flexibility in choosing the night capture mode. H.265 compression and IP67 protection class make the camera a reliable solution for operation in any outdoor conditions.
Advantages
- 8 MP with a motorized lens: high resolution and remote field-of-view adjustment without a site visit
- Dual illumination: IR for covert surveillance and white light for a color night picture — switching as the situation requires
- WizSense series: an AI detector of people and vehicles with a minimal number of false alarms
- H.265: efficient compression of the 8-megapixel stream to save archive and channel
- IP67 protection: a dust- and moisture-protected housing for year-round outdoor operation
- Audio input/output: support for recording and broadcasting sound directly from the camera
Applications
- Large perimeters where the field of view may change during operation
- Video surveillance at entrance areas of enterprises and logistics centers
- Protection of open areas with variable lighting conditions
- Sites requiring remote reconfiguration of the view without a technician's visit
