Detailed Features & Benefits
8MP 4K Ultra HD Surveillance
The Hikvision DS-2CD2186G2H-ISU captures
high-resolution video at up to
3840 × 2160 pixels,
providing detailed 4K Ultra HD security
footage for professional CCTV installations.
The high-resolution image helps improve
visibility across entrances, driveways,
commercial premises, warehouses and
outdoor surveillance areas.
Powered by DarkFighter Technology
Hikvision's Powered by DarkFighter technology
is designed to deliver excellent image
quality in challenging low-light conditions.
The camera combines a high-performance
1/1.8-inch CMOS sensor with an
F1.0 aperture
to capture more available light.
This supports detailed colour imaging
where sufficient ambient illumination
is available.
When lighting becomes insufficient,
the camera uses infrared illumination
for black-and-white night-time surveillance.
AcuSense Human and Vehicle Detection
Hikvision AcuSense technology uses
deep-learning algorithms to distinguish
humans and vehicles from other moving objects.
This helps reduce unnecessary notifications
caused by environmental movement such as
vegetation, shadows and changing lighting.
Human and vehicle classification is
particularly useful for monitoring
driveways, building entrances,
car parks and commercial outdoor areas.
30m Infrared Night Vision
The camera incorporates infrared
illumination with a range of up to
30 metres.
Infrared night vision allows
security monitoring to continue
in darkness without requiring
visible white-light illumination.
130dB Wide Dynamic Range
The DS-2CD2186G2H-ISU features
130dB Wide Dynamic Range
to help balance bright and dark
areas within the same scene.
This is particularly useful for
doorways, building entrances and
locations exposed to strong
backlighting.
Built-In Microphone
The DS-2CD2186G2H-ISU includes
a built-in microphone for
audio capture through compatible
Hikvision recording systems.
Audio recording can provide
additional information alongside
video surveillance where legally permitted.
Audio recording must be configured
and used in accordance with
applicable privacy and
surveillance regulations.
2.8mm and 4mm Fixed Lens Options
The camera is available with
2.8mm and 4mm fixed-lens options.
The 2.8mm lens provides wider
coverage, while the 4mm lens
offers a narrower viewing angle.
The correct lens should be
selected according to the
installation location and
required surveillance coverage.
Intelligent Perimeter Protection
The camera supports intelligent
perimeter protection functions
including line crossing and
intrusion detection.
Human and vehicle classification
can help improve the relevance
of supported security events.
H.265+ Video Compression
Hikvision H.265+ compression
helps reduce video storage
requirements and network
bandwidth consumption when
used with compatible equipment.
This supports efficient recording
of high-resolution 4K
surveillance footage.
Local microSD Recording
The camera supports compatible
microSD cards up to
512GB.
Local storage can provide
an additional recording option
alongside compatible network
video recorders.
Power over Ethernet
Power over Ethernet allows
the camera to receive network
communication and electrical
power through compatible
Ethernet infrastructure.
This simplifies installation
and reduces the need for
separate power cabling.
IP67 Weather Protection
The camera features IP67-rated
protection against dust and
water ingress.
This makes it suitable for
properly installed indoor
and outdoor CCTV applications.
IK10 Vandal-Resistant Housing
The durable IK10-rated dome
housing provides enhanced
protection against physical
impacts.
This makes the camera suitable
for exposed installation
locations where vandal
resistance is important.
