Dahua HERO H3I 3MP Indoor Wi-Fi Pan & Tilt Security Camera
The Dahua HERO H3I 3MP Indoor Wi-Fi Camera is a smart indoor surveillance camera designed to help monitor homes, offices, shops and other indoor spaces. It captures video at 3MP resolution, delivering detailed images for everyday security monitoring.
Featuring motorised pan-and-tilt movement, the HERO H3I can rotate horizontally and adjust vertically to cover a wider area than a fixed-position camera. Its intelligent detection features, automatic tracking, infrared night vision and two-way audio make it a practical solution for users who want convenient indoor monitoring through a compatible mobile application.
3MP High-Resolution Video
The Dahua HERO H3I records video at a maximum resolution of 2304 × 1296 pixels. This 3MP resolution helps capture details across monitored indoor spaces, making it useful for viewing entrances, living areas, offices, reception desks and retail interiors.
The camera supports H.265 video compression, which helps manage video data and storage requirements while maintaining image quality.
Pan-and-Tilt Coverage
The camera features motorised pan-and-tilt movement to help monitor different parts of a room. It supports horizontal rotation from 0° to 355° and vertical adjustment from -5° to 80°.
This movement allows users to adjust the viewing direction remotely through the supported application, helping reduce blind spots when the camera is positioned appropriately.
Smart Human and Pet Detection
The HERO H3I supports human and pet detection, helping users receive more relevant alerts about activity in monitored areas. It also supports automatic target tracking, allowing the camera to follow detected movement within its field of view.
Detection performance depends on the environment, camera positioning and configuration.
Infrared Night Vision
The built-in infrared LED supports night-time monitoring with an illumination distance of up to 10 metres under suitable conditions. The camera supports automatic day/night switching, colour viewing in suitable lighting and black-and-white infrared images in low-light conditions.
This helps maintain monitoring capability after dark without requiring continuous visible lighting.
Two-Way Audio Communication
With its built-in microphone and speaker, the Dahua HERO H3I supports two-way audio through a compatible mobile device. Users can listen to sounds near the camera and speak through the camera when supported by the application and network connection.
This feature is useful for communicating with family members, checking on indoor activity or speaking with staff in a monitored room.
Motion and Abnormal Sound Detection
The camera supports motion detection and abnormal sound detection. When configured with the compatible DMSS application, supported detection events can help notify users about activity in the monitored area.
These functions provide additional awareness alongside live viewing and recorded footage.
One-Click Privacy Mode
The HERO H3I includes a one-click privacy mode, allowing users to activate the camera’s supported privacy function when monitoring is not required. This offers convenient control over camera operation in indoor spaces.
Wi-Fi Connectivity and Mobile Monitoring
The camera connects through 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and supports IEEE 802.11b/g/n/ax. It works with Dahua’s DMSS management application on compatible Android and iOS devices.
Users can view the camera remotely when the camera and mobile device have suitable network access and the system has been configured correctly.
Local Video Storage
The Dahua HERO H3I supports a microSD memory card with a maximum capacity of 256GB. Local storage allows compatible video recordings to be saved directly to the camera, subject to the card, recording configuration and available storage space.
A memory card is not assumed to be included unless specified in the product package.
