8MP 4K Ultra HD Imaging

The DS-2CD2186G2H-ISU captures video at a maximum resolution of 3840 × 2160, providing true 8MP / 4K surveillance detail.

The additional resolution can assist with identifying important details when reviewing recorded footage, including:

• People
• Clothing
• Vehicles
• Property Activity
• Entrances
• Objects
• Security Incidents

Hikvision supports up to 25fps at 3840 × 2160 in 50Hz environments, making this camera suitable for high-detail professional CCTV systems.

Powered-by-DarkFighter Technology

The DS-2CD2186G2H-ISU incorporates Hikvision's Powered-by-DarkFighter technology, specifically designed to improve image quality in challenging low-light environments.

The combination of a large 1/1.8-inch image sensor and wide F1.0 aperture enables the camera to capture significantly more available light.

Hikvision specifies minimum colour illumination as low as:

0.0008 Lux @ F1.0, AGC ON

This makes the camera an excellent choice for entrances, car parks, building exteriors and other locations where ambient lighting may be limited.

AcuSense Human & Vehicle Classification

Hikvision AcuSense uses deep-learning algorithms to distinguish human and vehicle targets from other movement within supported events.

Rather than treating every movement as equally important, the camera can focus event classification on people and vehicles.

This can help reduce unnecessary alerts caused by irrelevant movement and make event searching more useful in appropriately configured systems.

130dB Wide Dynamic Range

The DS-2CD2186G2H-ISU features 130dB WDR, helping maintain image detail when bright and dark areas appear within the same scene.

This is particularly useful for:

• Building Entrances
• Glass Shopfronts
• Lobbies
• Garages
• Covered Entrances
• Loading Areas
• Areas Facing Bright Daylight

Smart IR Night Vision – Up to 30m

When ambient light becomes insufficient, the camera can switch to infrared night surveillance.

Hikvision specifies an IR supplementary light range of up to 30 metres, with Smart Supplement Light technology helping manage infrared illumination.

This provides dependable night-time surveillance without requiring visible white supplementary lighting.

Built-In Microphone

The DS-2CD2186G2H-ISU includes a built-in microphone for real-time audio security, allowing compatible recording systems to capture audio together with video.

This can provide additional context when reviewing incidents around:

• Entrances
• Reception Areas
• Retail Stores
• Offices
• Building Lobbies
• Warehouses
• Commercial Premises

Audio recording should always be configured and used in accordance with applicable privacy and surveillance laws.

2.8mm & 4mm Lens Options

The DS-2CD2186G2H-ISU is available with fixed 2.8mm and 4mm lens options.

2.8mm Lens

Provides approximately:

• 105.1° Horizontal
• 54.8° Vertical
• 128.2° Diagonal

The wider field of view makes the 2.8mm option particularly suitable for general surveillance, entrances, rooms, shopfronts and broader areas.

4mm Lens

Provides approximately:

• 90.0° Horizontal
• 45.8° Vertical
• 109.4° Diagonal

The 4mm option provides a narrower view and can be useful where greater emphasis on a more concentrated area is preferred.

H.265+ Video Compression

Hikvision's efficient H.265+ compression technology is designed to reduce network bandwidth and storage requirements compared with less efficient compression methods while maintaining useful surveillance image quality.

Supported main-stream compression includes:

• H.265+
• H.265
• H.264+
• H.264

The camera supports video bit rates from 32 Kbps to 16 Mbps.

Local microSD Storage

The camera supports onboard memory-card recording, providing an additional local storage option for compatible applications.

This can be useful for:

• Standalone Camera Applications
• Edge Recording
• Backup Recording
• Event Storage
• Additional Recording Resilience

PoE – Power & Data Through One Cable

Power over Ethernet allows compatible PoE network infrastructure to deliver both operating power and network data over a single Ethernet cable.

This simplifies professional CCTV installations and makes the DS-2CD2186G2H-ISU suitable for connection to compatible Hikvision PoE NVRs and network switches.

IP67 Weather Resistance

The camera carries an IP67 rating for water and dust resistance, making it suitable for properly installed outdoor surveillance applications.

Typical outdoor applications include:

• Building Entrances
• Under Eaves
• Driveways
• Car Parks
• Warehouses
• Loading Areas
• Commercial Buildings
• Property Perimeters

IK10 Vandal Resistance

The fixed dome housing is also IK10 vandal resistant, making the DS-2CD2186G2H-ISU particularly suitable for locations where cameras may be accessible or exposed to accidental or deliberate impact.

This makes it an excellent choice for:

• Schools
• Apartment Buildings
• Public Areas
• Retail Stores
• Commercial Buildings
• Car Parks
• Building Lobbies
• Warehouses
• Common Areas
