Overview
The Dahua ARC3808H is a hybrid intrusion alarm control panel. It takes conventional wired detectors on its local zones and expansion modules, and it also works with Dahua wireless sirens, keyfobs and detectors, so one panel covers a place where some areas are already wired and others need wireless devices. It suits a shop, office, school, clinic or larger home, and its video linkage and Dahua video intercom (VTH) integration suit a building that already uses Dahua CCTV.
Is it right for you?
- It suits a mixed installation: wired detectors in some rooms, wireless ones in others, on one panel with 32 areas.
- It suits a place that wants mobile reporting: 2G, 3G or 4G is optional, as is a telephone line (PSTN).
- It suits a monitored installation, reporting in SIA and SoftGuard protocols, as well as calls and SMS to the owner.
- If everything is wired and you do not need wireless devices, the ARC2008C-V3 or ARC2016C-V3 wired panels are the alternatives.
- Indoor use only, IP30.
Key features
- 8 local inputs and 4 local outputs, each expandable to 128 channels, across 32 areas (rooms).
- Ethernet, Wi-Fi and optional 2G, 3G or 4G; optional PSTN line.
- Calls and SMS to up to 12 numbers; SIA and SoftGuard protocols for monitoring centres.
- Up to 16 wired keypads, 16 expansion modules, 128 ARA24 keyfobs and 8 wireless sirens, plus 1 local siren.
- Wireless door, PIR and dual-tech detectors (ARD323, ARD333, ARD1233 and ARD2231 series), up to 120 of each depending on the inputs in use.
- 8-channel video linkage with Dahua cameras.
- Arming by app, keypad, keyfob, card or schedule; case tamper and wall tamper.
- Wired zones support up to 500 m of twisted-pair cable; two RS-485 buses up to 1,000 m each; 3 auxiliary power outputs with 2 A in total; 32 app users and 32 keypad users; 5,000 entry log.

Installation
An alarm installer should fit it. The panel is wall mounted indoors, wired to mains, the battery, the RS-485 bus for keypads and modules (intercom devices within 200 m), the wired zones and outputs, then configured through the Dahua app or the web interface.
