Why choose the DS-2CD2386G2H-IU

The Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2H-IU pairs true 8 MP (4K) resolution with a large 1/1.8″ sensor and Hikvision’s DarkFighter low-light technology, so it keeps producing sharp, usable footage where cheaper cameras give up. Its 2.8 mm lens delivers an ultra-wide 108.8° field of view — covering an entire entrance, driveway or open-plan room from a single point — while AcuSense deep-learning analytics classify humans and vehicles on the camera itself, cutting the false alarms that turn most CCTV into background noise. In low light it holds full colour down to 0.0008 lux, then switches to infrared for clear black-and-white imaging in total darkness, and a built-in microphone adds audio context to every recording. Rated IP67 for outdoor use, powered over a single PoE cable and recording to onboard microSD, it is a genuine all-rounder for serious security. Supplied and supported by ARC IP Networks, an authorised Australian Hikvision reseller, with genuine local stock, Australian warranty and expert support.

Best for

  • When you need to identify, not just detect: 8 MP 4K on a large 1/1.8″ sensor resolves faces, number plates and fine detail — evidence that holds up, not vague blur.
  • When false alarms are killing your system: AcuSense classifies people and vehicles on-device, so alerts fire on real threats — not rain, insects or moving foliage.
  • When the scene goes dark: DarkFighter keeps full colour down to 0.0008 lux and infrared takes over at 0 lux, so nights are covered end to end.
  • When one camera has to cover a lot: the 2.8 mm 108.8° wide angle watches a whole forecourt, room or entry from a single mount.
  • When you want audio and edge recording: a built-in microphone and microSD storage (up to 256 GB) capture sound and keep footage even if the network drops.

Complete your system

Every Hikvision IP camera records to a network video recorder (NVR), which also powers the cameras over PoE. Choose a Hikvision AcuSense NVR with enough channels and PoE ports for your camera count — for example, the DS-7608NXI-I2/8P/VPro records and powers up to 8 cameras over a single cable each.

Frequently asked questions

It captures 8 MP (3840 × 2160, 4K UHD) video, giving sharp detail for identifying faces, number plates and fine features across the scene.

AcuSense uses on-board deep-learning to classify humans and vehicles, so motion alerts and recordings trigger on people or cars rather than animals, rain or moving foliage. This dramatically reduces false alarms and is built in at no extra licence cost.

It is Powered by Darkfighter, combining a large sensor with excellent low-light sensitivity for detailed images in very dim conditions, plus built-in infrared for clear black-and-white video down to 0 lux in complete darkness.

Yes – this model includes a built-in microphone for audio capture alongside the video stream. (The “-ISU” variant of this camera adds line audio and alarm input/output as well.)

It runs on Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af) or 12 VDC. PoE lets a single network cable carry both power and data from a compatible Hikvision NVR or PoE switch, simplifying installation.

Any Hikvision PoE NVR – for example the DS-7608NI-M2/8P (8-channel) or DS-7616NI-M2/16P (16-channel) – powers and records the camera over PoE with full AcuSense support and remote viewing through the Hik-Connect app.

Yes. ARC IP Networks is an authorised Australian Hikvision reseller, so every DS-2CD2386G2H-IU we supply is genuine Australian stock through official distribution – never grey import – with correct AU firmware and a valid local manufacturer warranty.

It is covered by Hikvision’s 3-year Australian manufacturer warranty as genuine local stock from an authorised reseller such as ARC IP Networks. Grey-import cameras are not eligible for local warranty support.
