§ 01Overview

What the DS-2CD2086G2H-IU is

The Hikvision DS-2CD2086G2H-IU is an 8MP fixed mini bullet camera powered by DarkFighter technology, delivering strong colour images in very low light and switching to infrared night vision in complete darkness.

Its F1.0 aperture and 120 dB WDR keep footage clear in difficult lighting, while AcuSense AI accurately classifies people and vehicles to cut false alarms.

A built-in microphone records audio with your video, and the IP67-rated metal housing is built to handle the Australian outdoors.
