Product Overview

The DS-2CD2386G2-IU is a strong fixed turret camera choice for installations where intelligent event filtering and detailed outdoor monitoring are more important than visible deterrence features. Built with an 8MP 4K sensor, Powered-by-DarkFighter low-light technology and 120 dB true WDR, this turret camera is well suited to challenging outdoor environments such as building entrances, driveways and shopfronts where lighting conditions can vary significantly.

With AcuSense deep learning classification, the camera can identify human and vehicle targets while filtering out irrelevant motion caused by moving foliage, shadows, animals and other background activity. Its built-in microphone records audio at the camera location where audio recording is permitted and properly configured. The IP67-rated housing makes it suitable for eave, soffit and external wall installation, while its 360-degree pan adjustment and up to 75-degree tilt range allow precise positioning during setup. This model does not include a strobe light or audible warning, making it ideal for users who prioritise video quality and smart detection rather than active deterrence.

Driveways and Entry Points: the fixed 4K view and vehicle classification make this camera suitable for monitoring vehicles entering residential or small commercial properties.

Shopfronts and Business Entrances: its compact turret design, built-in microphone and AcuSense event filtering make it a practical option for customer-facing outdoor areas where a clean appearance and relevant alerts are important.

Outdoor Building Perimeters: with IP67 weather resistance and 30 m IR night recording, this model is well suited to eave and soffit mounting along external walls, side access paths and rear access areas.

Warehouses and Commercial Yards: the camera is useful for fixed monitoring of roller doors, dispatch areas and storage zones where human and vehicle filtering is more valuable than basic motion alerts.

The DS-2CD2386G2-IU is an outdoor camera that offers 4K imaging, DarkFighter low-light performance, 120 dB true WDR, and AcuSense classification.
It has a built-in microphone and uses H.265+ compression to manage storage requirements.
The camera is suitable for buyers who need a clean fixed outdoor turret with intelligent detection, without adding strobe light or siren-based deterrence.
However, it does not include a strobe light or audible warning, so if your site requires visible warning lights or a built-in siren, choose the active deterrence version instead.
AcuSense classification performs best when the camera has a clear view of the monitored area without heavy background clutter.
Confirm the camera position and mounting height before installation, and enable AcuSense event filtering through the camera or recorder interface rather than relying only on general motion detection.

Does the DS-2CD2386G2-IU have a strobe light or siren? No, this model lacks a strobe light and siren. It’s a microphone-only version. For active deterrence, choose the separate active deterrence model.

What does AcuSense do? AcuSense uses deep learning to identify humans or vehicles, reducing false alerts from non-relevant motion like trees or insects.

Can this camera be mounted on eaves and soffits? Yes, its turret design is ideal for eave and soffit mounting, with adjustable pan (0-360°) and tilt (0-75°) for precise positioning.

Does this camera record audio? Yes, it has a built-in microphone for audio capture, which must be enabled and comply with local privacy laws. It lacks a speaker for two-way communication.

How does 120dB WDR benefit outdoor use? 120 dB WDR maintains detail in both bright and dark areas, preventing overexposure or underexposure in mixed lighting conditions.

What is the IR range, and is it sufficient for my driveway? The IR range is up to 30 metres at 850 nm, suitable for most residential driveways. Check coverage requirements for longer distances.

Is the DS-2CD2386G2-IU compatible with HIKVISION equipment, and where can I purchase it? Yes, it works with compatible Hikvision NVRs supporting AcuSense.
