Hikvision DS-2CD2086G2H-I2U/S 8MP AcuSense Strobe & Audible Warning Fixed Bullet Network Camera

Hikvision DS-2CD2086G2H-I2U/S 8MP 4K AcuSense Fixed Bullet Camera with Strobe Light and Audible Warning

The Hikvision DS-2CD2086G2H-I2U/S is a professional 8MP 4K AcuSense fixed bullet network camera designed to combine high-resolution CCTV surveillance with intelligent active deterrence.

Featuring a built-in flashing strobe light, audible warning speaker and two-way audio, this camera can do more than simply record suspicious activity. When appropriately configured, it can actively warn people entering a protected area.

The camera captures detailed images at up to 3840 × 2160 pixels, providing true 4K UHD resolution for professional residential and commercial security installations.

Its large 1/1.8-inch Progressive Scan CMOS sensor and bright F1.0 fixed lens support excellent low-light image capture, with manufacturer-specified colour sensitivity of just 0.0008 lux.

For night-time surveillance, the integrated infrared illuminator provides a manufacturer-specified range of up to 40 metres.

The camera incorporates 120dB Wide Dynamic Range, helping maintain image detail when bright and dark areas appear together, such as building entrances, driveways and loading areas.

Hikvision AcuSense technology uses deep-learning algorithms to distinguish human and vehicle targets from other types of movement.

This intelligent classification helps reduce unnecessary alerts caused by irrelevant activity, allowing security notifications to focus on people and vehicles.

Supported intelligent perimeter events include line crossing detection, intrusion detection, region entrance detection and region exiting detection.

These events can be configured to trigger recording, notifications, audible warnings and flashing-light deterrence according to the installation requirements.

The active strobe light provides a visible warning intended to draw attention to detected activity and discourage unwanted entry.

The camera also includes a 2W built-in speaker, supporting audible warning messages and compatible two-way communication.

With two built-in microphones, the camera supports audio monitoring and communication through compatible Hikvision software and recording systems.

Audio monitoring and warning functions should be configured in accordance with applicable Australian surveillance, privacy and noise requirements.

The DS-2CD2086G2H-I2U/S family includes different warning-light configurations. The /SL version uses a white warning light, while the /SRB version uses red and blue warning lights.

Customers should confirm the exact supplied suffix before purchasing, particularly where the warning-light colour is important.

The camera is available with a choice of 2.8mm or 4mm fixed lenses.

The 2.8mm version offers a wider horizontal field of view of approximately 105 degrees, making it suitable for broader scene coverage.

The 4mm version provides a narrower horizontal field of view of approximately 90 degrees, making it suitable for more focused monitoring.

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

For recording efficiency, the camera supports H.265+ video compression, helping reduce bandwidth and storage requirements when used with compatible recording equipment.

In Australian 50Hz mode, the main stream supports up to 25fps at 3840 × 2160 resolution.

A built-in memory card slot supports compatible microSD cards up to 512GB, providing local recording capability.

The camera can also be connected to compatible Hikvision NVRs and professional IP surveillance systems.

Unlike standard low-power bullet cameras, this active deterrence model requires IEEE 802.3at PoE+, with maximum PoE consumption of 18W.

The durable metal housing provides IP67 dust and water protection, supporting suitable indoor and outdoor installations.

With its combination of 8MP 4K imaging, AcuSense human and vehicle detection, 40m infrared night vision, strobe-light deterrence and two-way audio, the Hikvision DS-2CD2086G2H-I2U/S is an excellent choice for professional CCTV installations requiring proactive security protection.
