SKU: DS-2CD2566G2-IS
Description
The Hikvision DS-2CD2566G2-IS is a 6MP outdoor AcuSense mini dome with a built-in microphone. Its deep-learning engine classifies people and vehicles, so alerts come from real targets rather than animals or moving foliage, in a compact housing that suits eaves, ceilings and entrances.
Key points
- 6MP (3200 x 1800) on a 1/1.8" sensor, with a 2.8mm or 4mm lens (chosen at checkout)
- AcuSense human and vehicle classification to cut false alarms
- Built-in microphone plus an audio and alarm input/output interface
- 30m infrared night vision with Smart IR; 120dB true WDR; DarkFighter
- IP67 weatherproof and IK08 impact-rated compact housing

§ 01Overview
What the DS-2CD2566G2-IS is
The Hikvision DS-2CD2566G2-IS is a 6MP outdoor AcuSense mini dome camera for Australian homes and businesses that want sharp detail from a discreet, low-profile housing with audio capture.
AcuSense gen 2 uses deep learning to separate people and vehicles from other movement such as falling leaves, rain or small animals, so the events it flags are the ones worth reviewing.
It records 6MP (3200 x 1800) through a 2.8mm or 4mm fixed lens (tell us your choice in the order comments), with DarkFighter low-light processing and 120dB true WDR to hold detail in high-contrast scenes such as a backlit entry or a shaded carport.
At night an 850nm infrared illuminator reaches up to 30 metres and Smart IR steps the light down on close subjects to prevent a washed-out face.
As an infrared model it produces black-and-white footage in full darkness rather than colour.
The -IS version adds a built-in microphone and an audio and alarm interface; it has a microphone but no speaker, so it is not a two-way audio camera.
The camera is IP67 weatherproof and IK08 impact-rated, and it can be powered over a single network cable using PoE (802.3af) or by 12V DC.
A built-in microSD slot allows on-board recording up to 256GB, and it pairs with Hikvision AcuSense NVRs and the Hik-Connect app.
It is normally installed by a security or cabling technician.

What the DS-2CD2566G2-IS features actually look like
Representative illustrations of how each key feature performs in a real scene.
6MP Ultra HD
6MP captures around three times the detail of 1080p. Plenty of resolution to zoom into a face or number plate part-way down the driveway and still read it clearly.
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.
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.
IP67 Weatherproof
Sealed against dust and water to IP67, built to keep working through rain, storms and harsh sun — suitable for fully outdoor mounting.

§ 04Why choose this
Built for the way you actually use the DS-2CD2566G2-IS
Detail where it counts
6MP and 120dB WDR hold faces and number plates in backlit doorways and high-contrast entries that lower-resolution cameras lose.
Discreet with audio
A compact dome that sits neatly under eaves, with a built-in microphone for audio context where local rules allow.
Backed locally
Supplied by an authorised dealer with a 3-year warranty and Australia-wide support.
§ 05Where it fits
Right at home in these scenarios
Home entries and porches
Mount under the eaves over a front door or porch to capture faces of visitors and deliveries in clear 6MP detail.
Shops and receptions
Cover a counter, doorway or reception in a low-profile dome that suits a finished ceiling indoors or out.
Car ports and side gates
Watch a carport, side gate or pathway with AI alerts that ignore the neighbour's cat and passing traffic.
Hallways and walkways
Its mini-dome form and wide 2.8mm option suit internal corridors and covered walkways where a bullet looks bulky.
§ 06Setup
Installation & setup
What it is
A 6MP AcuSense outdoor mini dome with a 2.8mm or 4mm fixed lens; choose the lens in your order comments. Built-in microphone, no speaker.
Power and cabling
Run one Cat5e/6 cable and power it over PoE (802.3af) from a PoE switch or NVR, or use a 12V DC supply where PoE is not available.
Mounting
Fix to a wall, soffit or ceiling at about 2.5-3 m; the three-axis gimbal lets you aim the lens after mounting.
Setup
In Australia a network camera is usually fitted by a licensed security installer or a competent IT/cabling technician, who runs the Cat5e/6 cable, terminates the RJ45, mounts the camera and adds it to the NVR or app. Add it in Hik-Connect or your NVR, set human and vehicle detection zones, and check your state's audio rules before enabling the microphone.
§ 07Questions
Frequently asked about the DS-2CD2566G2-IS
Q.01
Which lens should I choose, 2.8mm or 4mm?
For a wide view of an entry, porch or tight area choose 2.8mm (about 105 degrees). For more reach down a driveway or path the 4mm gives a narrower but longer view. Note your choice in the order comments.
Q.02
What is the difference between the -I and the -IS model?
The -IS model adds a built-in microphone and an audio and alarm input/output interface; the plain -I has neither. This -IS has a microphone but no speaker, so it is not a two-way audio camera.
Q.03
Does the camera support PoE or do I need a power supply?
It supports PoE (IEEE 802.3af, Class 3) at about 6 to 7W, so a standard PoE switch or NVR port runs both power and data over one cable. It also accepts 12V DC.
Q.04
Will it record in colour at night?
No. This is an infrared model, so in full darkness it records in black and white using the 30m IR. For 24/7 colour at night, look at a ColorVu model instead.
Q.05
Does it have an IK vandal rating?
Yes, it is IK08 impact-rated and IP67 weatherproof. That suits most outdoor and semi-exposed mounting, though it is not a high-impact IK10 dome for the most exposed public areas.
Q.06
Will it work with my existing Hikvision NVR?
Yes, it works with Hikvision AcuSense NVRs over ISAPI or ONVIF. Keep the NVR firmware current so it recognises the human and vehicle smart-event types.
Q.07
Can it record without an NVR?
Yes. The on-board microSD slot supports a card up to 256GB for standalone edge recording, and it also supports NAS storage and ANR network-loss buffering.
Q.08
Is audio recording legal in Australia?
The camera has a built-in microphone, but audio recording laws vary by state and you generally must notify people. Check your state's Surveillance Devices Act before enabling audio.
§ 09Bundles
Recommended packages
Record it on an NVR
Pair it with a Hikvision PoE NVR such as the DS-7604NI-M1/4P, DS-7608NI-M2/8P or DS-7616NI-M2/16P so power and recording run over one cable per camera.
Add storage
Fit a surveillance-grade drive such as the 2TB or 6TB in the NVR for continuous 6MP recording.
Mount and conceal cabling
Add the DS-1280ZJ-DM46 junction box for a tidy, weather-protected termination behind the dome.
Compare the range
