§ 01Overview
What the DS-2CD2T86G2-2I is
This Hikvision 8 MP 8-channel kit is a six-camera system built for larger homes and businesses, supplied ready to record. It combines six DS-2CD2T86G2-2I AcuSense bullet cameras with an eight-channel Hikvision PoE NVR and a 4 TB surveillance hard drive already fitted. Each camera runs on a single network cable to a built-in PoE port, and because the recorder has eight channels there are two spare for adding more cameras later.
The cameras suit longer outdoor runs. Each is an 8 MP (4K) bullet with AcuSense deep learning that classifies human and vehicle targets, so alerts and searches focus on people and vehicles instead of rain, shadows or animals. A 50 metre EXIR infrared range, longer than most turret cameras, reaches well down driveways, fences and car parks at night, and 120 dB wide dynamic range holds detail against bright backlight. These are -2I cameras, which keep the kit focused on high-quality video and AI detection; they do not include a built-in microphone, so the system records video without audio.
A few honest notes so it is set up correctly. The cameras use Powered-by-DarkFighter low-light imaging for clean detail in the dark, but the night image is infrared black and white, not full colour, so this is not a ColorVu kit. The eight-channel recorder is an 8K-capable Hikvision M-series NVR with eight plug-and-play PoE ports, two HDD bays and H.265+ compression; the 4 TB drive is included as standard for generous everyday retention, and you can fit a larger drive for longer storage. With six cameras on an eight-channel recorder, there is straightforward room to grow.

§ 04Why choose this
Built for the way you actually use the DS-2CD2T86G2-2I
Long-range night coverage
50 metre EXIR infrared on bullet cameras reaches down driveways, fences and car parks further than most turret kits.
Fewer false alarms
AcuSense human and vehicle classification keeps alerts and searches focused on people and vehicles, not weather or animals.
4K detail, efficient storage
8 MP resolution with 120 dB WDR captures identifiable detail, and H.265+ stretches the included 4 TB drive further.
§ 05Where it fits
Right at home in these scenarios
Larger homes
Cover the perimeter, driveway and yard of a bigger property with six long-range 4K cameras.
Business premises
Watch a car park, loading area and entrances with room to add two more cameras later.
Rural and acreage
Long infrared reach suits fences, gates and sheds set back from the house.
Warehouses and yards
Monitor approaches and storage areas with human and vehicle alerts and 4K evidence.
§ 06Setup
Installation & setup
In the box
Six DS-2CD2T86G2-2I bullet cameras, the eight-channel PoE NVR with a 4 TB drive fitted, power supply and mounting accessories. Connect a monitor for local viewing.
Cabling
Run one network cable from each camera to a PoE port on the NVR. Standard Ethernet runs apply, and a PoE switch can extend reach for distant cameras.
Mounting
Fix each bullet high on a wall or pole aimed along the run you want covered, within the 50 metre infrared range, using the sun shield against glare and rain.
Setup
Connect the NVR to a screen and the network, add the cameras on the plug-and-play PoE ports, set the AcuSense rules and recording schedule, and set up remote viewing in the Hik-Connect app.

Buying from Smarket
Is your Hikvision, Dahua, HiLook and TP-Link VIGI stock genuine Australian stock?
Yes, 100%. Every Hikvision, Dahua, HiLook and TP-Link VIGI product we sell is a genuine Australian-market model sourced through Australian supply chains — never grey imports. That means factory-sealed units, Australian-region firmware that works with the official apps out of the box, and a full 3-year local warranty.
How long does delivery take?

Standard shipping is free on all orders over $300 AUD, Australia-wide. Orders under $300 ship at a flat rate of $25, calculated at checkout. Tracking is included on every order.
What warranty do you offer?
All cameras, NVRs and DVRs come with a 3-year back-to-base manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, in addition to your rights under Australian Consumer Law. Hard drives and accessories are covered as set out in our Warranty Policy.
What is your return policy?
You have 30 days from the day you receive your order to request a change-of-mind return. Items must be unopened, factory-sealed and in resalable condition. A 15% restocking fee applies and return postage is at your cost. Faulty or incorrectly supplied items are different: we cover the return shipping and refund or replace at no charge. Read the full Return & Refund Policy.
Do you offer installation?
We can connect you with licensed installers in Sydney and Melbourne. Installation typically starts from around $200 per camera depending on cable runs and site conditions. Email sales@smarket.com.au with your address and camera count for a quote.
§ 10Bundles
Recommended packages
Use the two spare channels
Add up to two more DS-2CD2T86G2-2I 8MP AcuSense bullet cameras to fill the eight-channel recorder.
Add storage headroom
The kit includes a 4 TB drive; the recorder takes two drives, so fit an 8TB surveillance hard drive or a 10TB surveillance hard drive for longer retention.
Add PoE reach
Use an NS-0109P-60 8-port PoE switch to place cameras further from the recorder or to grow beyond eight channels.
