01Overview

What the DS-2CD2386G2-ISU/SL is

Lens options: 2.8mm or 4mm focal length.
Color options: White or Black.
Note: Please indicate your choice in your order message.

The DS-2CD2386G2-ISU/SL is the deterrence pick of the 8MP AcuSense generation: when a person or vehicle crosses a zone you have drawn, it flashes its strobe and sounds an audible warning through the built-in speaker, and its mic and speaker give two-way talk from the Hik-Connect app. Offered in white or black housings.

Recording stays 4K (3840 by 2160) with infrared night vision to 30 metres, and AcuSense classification keeps the strobe honest, animals, rain and passing headlights do not set it off. It runs to any Hikvision PoE NVR on a single cable, and it is the camera behind our strobe-and-siren kits: 6 cameras on 8 channels or 8 cameras on 16 channels.

Up the range, the G2H-IS2U/SL carries the same deterrence on the newer low-light sensor with dual mics, and the ColorVu 2387 G3 adds full night colour to the strobe and voice.

What the DS-2CD2386G2-ISU/SL features actually look like

Representative illustrations of how each key feature performs in a real scene.

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 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 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.

Two-Way Audio

Talk and listen in real time through the app — tell a courier where to leave a parcel, or speak to someone at the gate, whether you're home or away.

Strobe Light

On detecting activity, the camera can trigger a bright flashing strobe to make an intruder aware they've been spotted — a visible warning rather than silent recording.

08Questions

Frequently asked about the DS-2CD2386G2-ISU/SL

Q.01

How is this different from the DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL?

The 2386G2 uses IR only (no warm light / no ColorVu). The 2387G2H has Smart Hybrid Light for colour night vision. The 2386G2 is more affordable if you do not need colour footage at night.
Q.02

Does the speaker play custom messages?

Yes. You can record and upload custom voice warnings through the Hik-Connect app or web interface.
Q.03

What IR range does it have?

Up to 30 m with Smart IR that adjusts intensity to avoid overexposure at close range.
Q.04

Does it have alarm I/O?

Yes. The ISU/SL model includes 1 alarm input, 1 alarm output, plus audio input and output.
Q.05

Can I use it without an NVR?

Yes. It supports microSD up to 256 GB for standalone recording. The Hik-Connect app gives you live view and playback.
Q.06

What does AcuSense do on this camera?

It is the gatekeeper for the strobe. Deep learning on the camera decides whether a trigger is a person, a vehicle or neither, so the light and siren answer real approaches instead of weather and wildlife, and your recordings sort into searchable person and vehicle events.
Q.07

Which 8MP 2386 turret should I buy?

This one when the site needs warnings, not just evidence, at the sharpest price, with a black option. The G2H-IS2U/SL is the same deterrence on the newer sensor, the G2-IU and G2H-IU record quietly without the strobe, and the ColorVu 2387 G3 adds night colour to the warning.
Q.08

What does the G2H version add over this?

A newer 1/1.8-inch F1.0 sensor for stronger dusk and low-light images, plus a second microphone. The G2H-IS2U/SL is the step up when low light matters; this G2-ISU/SL keeps the black-housing option and the lower price.
