Detailed Features & Benefits

8MP 4K Ultra HD Security Imaging

The DS-2CD2T86G2H-2I/4I captures detailed security footage at up to 3840 × 2160 pixels.

Its 8MP resolution is suitable for monitoring entrances, driveways, commercial buildings, warehouses, car parks and outdoor security areas.

Powered-by-DarkFighter Low-Light Technology

Hikvision DarkFighter technology is designed to improve image quality in challenging low-light environments.

The camera combines a high-performance sensor with a large-aperture lens to help capture useful image detail where lighting is limited.

Large 1/1.8-Inch CMOS Sensor

The camera features a 1/1.8-inch Progressive Scan CMOS sensor.

The sensor works with the camera's image-processing technology to support detailed 4K surveillance.

F1.0 Large-Aperture Lens

The camera incorporates an F1.0 fixed-aperture lens.

This large aperture helps collect available light and supports low-light imaging performance.

2.8mm Wide-Angle Lens Option

The 2.8mm lens provides approximately 105.1° horizontal coverage.

This option is suitable for entrances, building frontages and relatively wide surveillance areas.

4mm Fixed Lens Option

The 4mm lens provides approximately 90° horizontal coverage.

This narrower field of view can be useful for driveways, access points and more focused security monitoring.

Both lens options are fixed and do not provide motorised optical zoom.

60m Infrared Night Vision - 2I Version

The DS-2CD2T86G2H-2I features integrated infrared illumination with a manufacturer-specified range of up to 60 metres.

This supports black-and-white surveillance when ambient light is insufficient.

80m Infrared Night Vision - 4I Version

The DS-2CD2T86G2H-4I features a more powerful infrared illumination system with a range of up to 80 metres.

The extended illumination range is suitable for monitoring larger outdoor areas.

Smart Infrared Illumination

Smart IR technology helps manage supplementary infrared illumination during night-time surveillance.

Actual usable night-vision distance depends on the installation position, scene conditions and selected lens.

Hikvision AcuSense Technology

Hikvision AcuSense uses deep-learning algorithms to classify human and vehicle targets.

This helps improve the relevance of supported security alerts and reduce notifications caused by unrelated movement.

Intelligent Perimeter Protection

The camera supports line crossing, intrusion, region entrance and region exiting detection.

Human and vehicle classification can be applied to supported perimeter protection events.

Face Capture Functionality

The DS-2CD2T86G2H-2I/4I supports intelligent face capture.

Face capture is not the same as biometric face recognition or identity matching.

120dB Wide Dynamic Range

The camera features 120dB WDR to help maintain image detail in scenes containing bright and dark areas.

This is particularly useful for entrances, loading docks and locations exposed to strong backlighting.

25fps at Full 8MP Resolution

The camera supports up to 25fps at 3840 × 2160 in Australian 50Hz mode.

This provides detailed full-resolution surveillance footage for compatible recording systems.

H.265+ Video Compression

Hikvision H.265+ compression helps reduce storage requirements and network bandwidth usage when used with compatible recording equipment.

This supports efficient recording of high-resolution 8MP security footage.

Local microSD Recording

The camera supports compatible microSD cards up to 512GB.

Local recording provides an additional storage option alongside compatible Hikvision NVR systems.

ONVIF Network Integration

The camera supports ONVIF interoperability for integration with compatible IP surveillance and video management systems.

Available functions depend on the connected recording equipment and software.

IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet

Both the -2I and -4I versions support IEEE 802.3af PoE Class 3.

The -2I version specifies maximum PoE consumption of 9W.

The -4I version specifies maximum PoE consumption of 12W.

IP67 Outdoor Weather Protection

The camera features IP67-rated dust and water ingress protection.

Its metal housing is suitable for properly installed outdoor CCTV applications.

Professional Hikvision NVR Compatibility

The camera is designed for integration with compatible Hikvision network video recorders.

Installers should confirm support for 8MP recording, the required compression format and compatible intelligent detection functions.
