§ 01Overview
What the DS-2CD2366G2H-IS2U/SL is
Lens: 2.8mm.
The DS-2CD2366G2H-IS2U/SL is the deterrence flagship of the 2366 range — the response package of the G2 SL bolted onto the newer G2H imaging platform.
Cross a line or zone and it fires its white strobe and an audible warning through a speaker lab-rated at 105dB (at 10cm); dual microphones and that speaker give two-way talk from the Hik-Connect app, and alarm plus audio line in/out terminals handle integration work.
The imaging is the real step up: an F1.0 lens rated 0.001 lux in colour — gathering over twice the light of the G2's F1.6 — behind the widest view in the range at 115°, with 30 metres of smart infrared, 120dB WDR, defog, and a 512GB MicroSD ceiling.
The honest catch is power: full output draws up to 18W, which needs an 802.3at (PoE+) port — standard 802.3af budgets fall short.
Check your NVR or switch port rating before ordering; on a standard port, the G2-ISU/SL delivers the same strobe-and-warning response at 9.7W.
White strobe and spoken or siren warnings, as across the range — the red-and-blue variant isn't one we stock.

DS-2CD2366G2H-IS2U/SL specifications
- F1.0 / 0.001 lux Sensor: over twice the light-gathering of the G2 generation — colour where the older sensor has already gone grey.
- 115° Wide View: the widest lens in the 2366 range, with dual microphones for clearer audio capture.
- Two-Way Talk: dual mics and a speaker lab-rated 105dB at 10cm, live through the Hik-Connect app.
- 512GB MicroSD + Defog: double the on-board backup of the G2, with defog for misty mornings.
- PoE+ Required: 802.3at Class 4, up to 18W at full output — plan the port budget or use a 12V DC supply.

§ 04Why choose this
Built for the way you actually use the DS-2CD2366G2H-IS2U/SL
Night colour the G2 can't match
0.001 lux at F1.0 holds colour off ambient glow where the G2 generation switches to infrared — and colour detail is what identifies clothing and vehicles.
Widest eyes in the family
115° from the 2.8mm lens takes in more driveway per mount than any other 2366, with dual mics catching audio from both directions.
Check your PoE budget first
Honest requirement: up to 18W means an 802.3at (PoE+) port. On a standard 802.3af port, the G2-ISU/SL gives the same deterrence at 9.7W — pay for the G2H where the port and the darkness justify it.
§ 05Where it fits
Right at home in these scenarios
Dark driveways and approaches
Where there's no street light to help, 0.001 lux keeps colour and the strobe answers whoever AcuSense flags — the spot this camera exists for.
Porch and parcel theft
A spoken warning at the letterbox beats reviewing footage of a parcel leaving — dual mics and two-way talk handle the courier conversation live.
Site compounds and yards
Alarm in/out and audio line terminals tie it into gates and external sirens, with the on-camera warning doing the first shouting.
Wide frontages
115° covers a double garage, the path beside it and part of the lawn from a single corner mount — fewer cameras for the same coverage.
§ 06Setup
Installation & setup
What's in the Box
1. Hikvision DS-2CD2366G2H-IS2U/SL Camera × 1 2. Drill Template and Screw Kit × 1 3. Quick Start Guide × 1
Installation Requirements
1. Power: any 802.3at PoE+ NVR port or switch (max 18W). A separate 12V DC adapter is only needed without PoE. 2. Network: a wired Ethernet run back to your NVR or switch — PoE carries power and video together on the same line. 3. Mounting: solid wall, ceiling or eave at 2.5–3 metres, with the base sealed against the surface — the housing is IP67-rated for exposed positions.
App Setup
1. Activate the camera with a strong password on first connection, then add it to the Hik-Connect app via QR code. 2. Enable push notifications so AcuSense human and vehicle alerts reach your phone. 2b. Pick the warning tone or record your own message, and set strobe and audio schedules so deterrence sleeps when you do. 3. Draw line crossing and intrusion zones tight to your own property through the camera's web interface, and set the target type to human and vehicle.

Recommended packages
One flagship, value everywhere else
Put this on the darkest, most exposed approach and run G2-IU or G2H-IU turrets on the rest — one NVR, same AcuSense behaviour.
Standard PoE port only?
The G2-ISU/SL delivers the same strobe-and-warning response on 802.3af at 9.7W.
Build it into a kit
Our Hikvision AcuSense kits pair M-series NVRs with a 4TB drive — add this camera to the order for the corner that needs both night colour and a voice.
