§ 01Overview

What the DS-2CD2386G2-I is

The Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2-I is an 8MP 4K AcuSense fixed turret camera for outdoor and undercover use.

AcuSense gen 2 deep learning classifies people and vehicles, so motion and perimeter events come from real targets rather than animals, shadows or headlights, and recorded footage is quick to search by target type.

Its 8MP 4K sensor (3840 x 2160) captures identification-grade detail of faces and vehicles within range.

DarkFighter low-light processing keeps the picture usable in dim conditions, and 120dB true WDR balances bright and shadowed areas such as a doorway backlit by the sky or a storefront with large windows.

An 850nm infrared illuminator reaches up to 30 metres at night; as an infrared model it records in black and white in full darkness, while DarkFighter retains more colour detail when some ambient or street light is present.

The fixed lens is available in 2.8mm, 4mm or 6mm, so you can match the field of view to an entry, a yard or a longer approach.

This is the base "-I" model: it has no built-in microphone, strobe or siren (the -ISU/SL adds those).

The compact turret housing is IP67-rated and mounts flush to a wall, soffit or ceiling, and the camera runs over PoE (802.3af) or 12V DC.

It takes a microSD card up to 512GB and works with Hikvision AcuSense NVRs and Hik-Connect.

It is normally installed by a security or cabling technician.

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.

30m IR Night Vision — Built-in infrared lets the camera see in complete darkness up to around 30m — enough ... (2/2)

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 ...

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.

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-2CD2386G2-I

4K AcuSense intelligence

On-device deep learning classifies people and vehicles, cutting false alarms from animals, shadows and headlights and making footage searchable by target type.

Strong low-light detail

A larger 1/1.8" sensor with DarkFighter holds detail in dim conditions and keeps more colour where street or ambient light is present, switching to clear black-and-white IR in full darkness.

True 120dB wide dynamic range

Captures usable detail in harsh contrast such as backlit doorways, storefront windows and shaded eaves where budget cameras clip to black or white.

Tough, discreet turret

A compact IP67 turret mounts flush to walls and eaves, with three-axis aiming and a fixed lens choice to suit each scene.

§ 05Where it fits

Right at home in these scenarios

Front entry and driveway

Mount under the eaves at 2.5-3 m to capture face-level detail within 10-15 metres while watching street activity for context.

Side passage and rear access

The flush turret form suits a narrow side passage, with line-crossing alerts when someone enters a vulnerable rear-yard access.

Acreage and property approach

A 6mm lens carries detection out toward 140 metres for a rural driveway or shed approach, separating delivery vehicles from people on foot.

Small business and retail

8MP detail gives identification-quality faces within 8-10 metres while 120dB WDR handles bright storefront-window backlight.

§ 06Setup

Installation & setup

01

What it is

An 8MP 4K AcuSense fixed turret with a 2.8mm, 4mm or 6mm lens; choose the lens in your order comments. No microphone, strobe or siren on this base model.

02

Power and cabling

Run solid-copper Cat5e or Cat6 (up to 100 m) and power it over PoE (802.3af, the camera draws about 6.8W) from a PoE switch or NVR, or use 12V DC.

03

Mounting

Fix it to a wall, soffit or ceiling at about 2.5-3 m with three-axis adjustment after mounting; under eaves limits UV exposure and extends housing life.

04

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, enable human and vehicle notifications, and set a static IP for reliable operation across NBN connection types.

§ 07Questions

Frequently asked about the DS-2CD2386G2-I

Q.01

Does this camera have a microphone or two-way audio?
No. The base DS-2CD2386G2-I has no built-in microphone, speaker, strobe or siren. If you need audio or active deterrence, look at the DS-2CD2386G2-ISU/SL or a LiveGuard model instead.
Q.02

Which lens should I choose, 2.8mm, 4mm or 6mm?
Choose 2.8mm for a wide view of an entry or yard (about 111 degrees), 4mm for general driveways and approaches, and 6mm to identify faces or plates at a longer distance such as an acreage driveway.
Q.03

Does it record in colour at night?
No. It is an infrared camera, so in full darkness it records in black and white using the 30m IR. DarkFighter keeps more colour detail when some street or ambient light is present, but it is not a ColorVu colour-at-night camera.
Q.04

Does it support PoE or do I need a power supply?
It supports PoE (IEEE 802.3af, Class 3) and draws only about 6.8W, so a standard PoE switch or NVR port runs power and data over one cable. It also accepts 12V DC.
Q.05

Will it work with my existing Hikvision NVR?
Yes. AcuSense works independently in the camera, so it records to Hikvision and many third-party ONVIF NVRs. For NVR-level smart search and alerts, use a current AcuSense NVR on up-to-date firmware.
Q.06

Can it record without an NVR?
Yes. It has a built-in microSD slot supporting a card up to 512GB for standalone edge recording, and it also supports NAS storage and ANR network-loss buffering.
Q.07

Is it suitable for outdoor use in Australia?
Yes. It carries an IP67 rating against dust and water and operates from -30 to 60 degrees Celsius. Mounting under eaves limits UV exposure and helps the housing last longer.
Q.08

What warranty applies when buying in Australia?
Units bought through authorised Australian distributors carry a 3-year back-to-base warranty. Grey-market imports may not qualify, so confirm the seller sources stock through official Hikvision Australia channels.

§ 09Bundles

Recommended packages

02

Add storage for 4K

Fit a surveillance drive such as the 6TB or 8TB in the NVR; 8MP streams suit a larger drive.

03

Mount and protect cabling

Add the DS-1273ZJ-140 junction box for tidy, weather-protected terminations behind the turret.

04

Want audio or active deterrence?

This base model has no mic or siren. For colour-at-night or strobe-and-audio options compare the DS-2CD2T67G2H ColorVu bullet or the DS-2CD2686G2-IZSU/SL LiveGuard bullet.
