01Overview
What the DS-2CD2186G2-IMS is
This 8MP camera features 120 dB true WDR and AI analytics with face capture and perimeter protection for superior surveillance performance.
Its ultra-wide 108° field of view and vandal-resistant design provide comprehensive area coverage with reliable operation in challenging environments.

What the DS-2CD2186G2-IMS features actually look like
Representative illustrations of how each key feature performs in a real scene.
8MP Ultra HD
8MP (4K) resolution captures four times the detail of 1080p.
Even when a person or car is far down the driveway, you can zoom in and still recognise a face or read a number plate — detail that lower-resolution cameras lose.
Even when a person or car is far down the driveway, you can zoom in and still recognise a face or read a number plate — detail that lower-resolution cameras lose.
30m IR Night Vision
Built-in infrared lets the camera see in complete darkness up to around 30m — enough for a typical driveway, front yard or entrance. People and vehicles stay clear in black-and-white, brighter the closer they are.
False Alarm Reduction
Filtering helps separate real activity from harmless movement like rain, leaves or pets, so you get fewer pointless notifications and the alerts that matter stand out.
Human/Vehicle Detection
Smart detection focuses on people and vehicles and can ignore things like swaying branches, rain or small animals — helping cut down false alerts and making the right moments easier to find.

04Why choose this
Built for the way you actually use the DS-2CD2186G2-IMS
Full Metal Body with IK10
All-metal dome housing rated IK10 for impact resistance. Designed for public areas, corridors, and commercial spaces where cameras may be targeted.
120 dB True WDR
Manages harsh backlight at glass doors, lobbies, and shopfronts. Both bright and dark areas stay visible in the same frame.
30 m IR Night Vision
Consistent coverage in hallways, lobbies, and small outdoor areas. Smart IR adjusts intensity to avoid overexposure at close range.
AcuSense Deep Learning
Classifies human and vehicle targets. Supports face capture and perimeter protection. Reduces false alarms from animals and objects.
05Where it fits
Right at home in these scenarios
Reception Counter or Front Desk
HDMI to a monitor behind the counter for live spot viewing. Staff can see who is at the door without opening an app.
Office Corridor or Hallway
Dome sits flush on the ceiling. IK10 resists tampering. 30 m IR covers a long hallway.
Retail Store or Shopfront
120 dB WDR handles glass-front sunlight. 8 MP captures enough detail for facial identification. AcuSense cuts false alerts.
Underground Car Park
Metal dome survives bumps and vandalism. IR lights up ramps and bays. HDMI can feed a display at the car park entry.

08Questions
Frequently asked about the DS-2CD2186G2-IMS
Q.01
What kind of HDMI connector does it use?
Type D (Micro HDMI). You will need a Micro HDMI to standard HDMI cable or adapter. The output supports up to 1080p at 60 fps.
Q.02
Can I record to NVR and view on HDMI at the same time?
Yes. The HDMI output runs in parallel with the network stream. You can record on the NVR and display live on a local monitor simultaneously.
Q.03
Does it have a microphone?
No built-in mic. It has an audio input (line in) and audio output (line out) for external audio devices.

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.
