8MP 4K Ultra HD Imaging
The DS-2CD2T86G2H-2I/4I delivers a maximum resolution of:
3840 × 2160
providing true 8MP / 4K Ultra HD surveillance.
For Australian 50Hz systems, the camera supports up to 25fps at full 3840 × 2160 resolution, delivering smooth and detailed surveillance footage.
The increased resolution is particularly useful when reviewing:
- People
- Clothing
- Vehicles
- Driveways
- Building Entrances
- Property Activity
- Commercial Areas
- Objects
- Security Incidents
Powered-by-DarkFighter Technology
The DS-2CD2T86G2H-2I/4I features Hikvision's Powered-by-DarkFighter technology, engineered to provide excellent image performance in extremely challenging low-light environments.
The camera combines a large 1/1.8-inch Progressive Scan CMOS sensor with an ultra-wide F1.0 aperture, allowing significantly more available light to reach the image sensor.
Hikvision specifies minimum illumination of:
Colour: 0.0008 Lux @ F1.0, AGC ON
B/W: 0 Lux with IR
This makes the camera an excellent option for locations where ambient lighting is limited.
Large 1/1.8" Image Sensor
The camera uses a large 1/1.8-inch Progressive Scan CMOS sensor.
Combined with its F1.0 lens, the large sensor helps maximise available light and maintain useful image detail in challenging conditions.
This makes the camera particularly suitable for:
- Long Driveways
- Car Parks
- Warehouses
- Building Perimeters
- Commercial Properties
- Loading Areas
- Industrial Sites
- Low-Light Outdoor Locations
Ultra-Wide F1.0 Aperture
The F1.0 aperture is a significant advantage of the G2H model.
A wider aperture allows more available light to reach the image sensor, improving low-light image quality and helping the camera retain valuable image detail.
Combined with Powered-by-DarkFighter technology, this makes the DS-2CD2T86G2H-2I/4I particularly effective for demanding night-time CCTV applications.
Hikvision AcuSense Technology
The DS-2CD2T86G2H-2I/4I incorporates Hikvision AcuSense deep-learning technology.
AcuSense allows supported security events to focus on:
- Humans
- Vehicles
rather than treating every movement within the camera's field of view as equally important.
This can help reduce unnecessary security events caused by movement such as:
- Animals
- Leaves
- Rain
- Shadows
- Changing Lighting
- Other Non-Target Movement
Human & Vehicle Classification
Deep-learning algorithms allow the camera to classify human and vehicle targets during supported security events.
When correctly configured with a compatible Hikvision NVR or surveillance system, this can help improve:
- Event Accuracy
- Security Notifications
- Recorded Event Searching
- Alarm Efficiency
- CCTV Monitoring
Intelligent Perimeter Protection
The camera supports intelligent security functions including:
- Line Crossing Detection
- Intrusion Detection
- Region Entrance Detection
- Region Exit Detection
Supported smart events can apply human and vehicle target classification.
This allows professional installers to establish intelligent security rules around:
- Driveways
- Gates
- Property Boundaries
- Building Perimeters
- Restricted Areas
- Car Parks
- Loading Areas
- Commercial Sites
120dB True Wide Dynamic Range
The DS-2CD2T86G2H-2I/4I incorporates 120dB True WDR, helping maintain usable image detail where bright and dark areas occur simultaneously within the monitored scene.
This is particularly useful for:
- Building Entrances
- Warehouse Doors
- Garage Entrances
- Loading Areas
- Covered Driveways
- Areas Facing Bright Daylight
- High-Contrast Indoor/Outdoor Scenes
Long-Range Smart IR Night Vision
One of the major advantages of the DS-2CD2T86G2H series is its long-range infrared night vision.
The camera uses 850nm infrared illumination with Smart Supplement Light technology.
DS-2CD2T86G2H-2I
Provides Smart IR illumination up to:
60 metres
DS-2CD2T86G2H-4I
Provides extended Smart IR illumination up to:
80 metres
This makes the camera considerably better suited to long-range monitoring than compact turret and mini-bullet cameras with shorter IR ranges.
Ideal Long-Range Surveillance Camera
The extended infrared range makes this camera particularly useful for:
- Long Driveways
- Large Car Parks
- Warehouses
- Industrial Sites
- Commercial Yards
- Loading Areas
- Property Boundaries
- Building Perimeters
- Rural Properties
- Large Residential Properties
The 4I version with up to 80m IR is particularly suitable where the surveillance area extends further from the camera position.
2.8mm & 4mm Fixed Lens Options
The DS-2CD2T86G2H-2I/4I is available with 2.8mm and 4mm fixed lens options.
2.8mm Lens
Approximate field of view:
- Horizontal: 105.1°
- Vertical: 54.8°
- Diagonal: 128.2°
The 2.8mm lens provides wider coverage and is generally suitable for:
- Driveways
- Building Frontages
- Car Parks
- Yards
- Wide Perimeter Areas
- General Outdoor Surveillance
4mm Lens
Approximate field of view:
- Horizontal: 90°
- Vertical: 45.8°
- Diagonal: 109.4°
The 4mm lens provides a narrower field of view and greater concentration on more distant target areas.
DORI Distance
Hikvision specifies approximate DORI distances of:
2.8mm Lens
- Detect: 89m
- Observe: 35m
- Recognise: 17m
- Identify: 8m
4mm Lens
- Detect: 109m
- Observe: 43m
- Recognise: 21m
- Identify: 10m
Actual performance depends on installation height, camera angle, lighting, target movement and environmental conditions.
H.265+ Video Compression
The DS-2CD2T86G2H-2I/4I supports Hikvision's efficient H.265+ video compression technology, helping reduce network bandwidth and recording storage requirements.
