    § 01Overview

    What the DS-2CD2386G2H-IU is

    The Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2H-IU is an 8 MP (4K) AcuSense turret network camera with Powered-by-DarkFighter low-light performance and a built-in microphone.

    Its 1/1.8" sensor and F1.0 aperture hold colour down to 0.0008 lux, while AcuSense deep learning separates people and vehicles from animals, rain and moving foliage to cut false alerts.

    Lens: fixed 2.8 mm (approx.

    108 degrees wide view).

    Night vision: Smart IR to 30 m (black and white at night).

    Audio: built-in microphone records sound alongside video.

    A PoE (802.3af) or 12 V DC IP camera with 120 dB WDR, H.265+ compression, microSD up to 512 GB and an IP67 metal housing rated -30C to 60C.

    Suited to Australian homes and businesses moving up to 4K detail.

    3-year Australian warranty.

    (No anti-corrosion rating — keep off direct coastal salt spray.)

    § 02Engineering

    DS-2CD2386G2H-IU specifications

    - 8 MP 4K resolution (3840 x 2160): four times the detail of 1080p; recognises a person to about 17 m with the 2.8 mm lens.
    - Powered-by-DarkFighter low light: a 1/1.8" sensor at F1.0 holds colour down to 0.0008 lux before switching to IR.
    - AcuSense deep learning: classifies humans and vehicles and filters false alarms from animals, rain and moving trees.
    - Built-in microphone: records audio alongside video for added context (check local audio-recording rules before use).
    - Smart IR to 30 m: even night illumination that avoids over-exposing close subjects; footage is black and white at night.
    - 120 dB true WDR: balances bright and dark areas for backlit doorways and bright entrances.
    - H.265+ compression with microSD up to 512 GB: lower bandwidth and longer on-camera recording; also records to NAS with ANR.
    - PoE or 12 V DC, IP67 metal turret: single-cable PoE install, rated -30C to 60C for outdoor Australian mounts.

    PoE + flexible storage

    Single-cable PoE install, microSD up to 512 GB, plus NAS / ANR recording.

    3-year AU warranty

    Back-to-base cover through authorised distribution.

    § 05Where it fits

    Right at home in these scenarios

    4K entries & driveways

    Home and small-business entries, driveways and yards where face and plate clarity matters.

    Fewer false alerts

    Properties wanting fewer overnight alerts thanks to AcuSense human / vehicle filtering.

    Audio evidence

    Sites needing sound captured with video via the built-in mic, within local recording rules.

    Low-light areas

    Laneways, carparks and rear yards where DarkFighter keeps usable images after dusk.

    AcuSense NVR add-on

    PoE installs added to an existing Hikvision AcuSense NVR for smart event search.

    Installation Requirements

    1. Power & data: one Ethernet run to a PoE NVR or switch (802.3af, Class 3), or a 12 V DC supply plus a separate network cable. 2. Recorder: a Hikvision NVR for full features; an AcuSense-capable NVR on current firmware to log and search human / vehicle events. 3. Storage: optional microSD up to 512 GB on the camera, or record to the NVR / NAS. 4. Mounting: solid wall, eave or ceiling; the turret tilts on its base to aim. No IK vandal rating, so mount out of easy reach in exposed spots.

    § 07Questions

    Frequently asked about the DS-2CD2386G2H-IU

    Q.01

    Is this a PoE camera, or does it need a separate power supply?
    It is a network (IP) camera that runs on PoE (802.3af, Class 3) over a single Ethernet cable, or on a 12 V DC supply if you prefer. Most installs use a PoE NVR or switch so one cable carries power and video.
    Q.02

    Does it record sound?
    Yes. It has a built-in microphone (the -U in the model name) that records audio alongside video. Audio-recording laws vary by Australian state, so check your local rules before enabling it.
    Q.03

    Can it see in colour at night?
    No. Night vision is infrared Smart IR to about 30 m, so footage after dark is black and white. For full-colour night images you would need a ColorVu model with white-light LEDs.
    Q.04

    What does AcuSense actually do?
    AcuSense uses on-camera deep learning to tell people and vehicles apart from animals, rain and moving foliage, so alerts and recordings focus on what matters and you get far fewer false alarms.
    Q.05

    How far away can it identify a person?
    With the 2.8 mm lens the DORI figures are roughly 89 m detect, 35 m observe, 17 m recognise and 8 m identify, so it suits entries, driveways and yards rather than long-distance number-plate capture.
    Q.06

    How much footage can it store on a memory card?
    It takes a microSD card up to 512 GB for on-camera recording, and can also record to a NAS with ANR, which back-fills clips missed during a network dropout.
    Q.07

    Will it work with my existing NVR?
    It is ONVIF compliant and works with Hikvision NVRs and Hik-Connect. To log and search human and vehicle events you need an AcuSense-capable NVR on current firmware; on older recorders it still records as a standard 8 MP camera.
    Q.08

    Is it OK to mount near the coast?
    It is IP67 dust- and water-resistant and rated -30C to 60C, but Hikvision lists no specific anti-corrosion protection for this model, so keep it out of direct coastal salt spray to avoid premature corrosion.
