Hikvision DS-2CD2186G2H-ISU - AcuSense 8MP IP Dome Camera with F1.0 Lens, 30m IR, 120dB WDR, Microphone and Audio/Alarm I/O

The Hikvision DS-2CD2186G2H-ISU is an 8MP AcuSense IP dome camera with a high-sensitivity F1.0 lens, 30m infrared night vision, 120dB WDR, built-in microphone, and 1 audio/1 alarm I/O. At 8MP (4K), it delivers exceptional image detail for identification-quality footage from a ceiling-mount dome - combined with AcuSense deep learning and an F1.0 aperture for the best possible low-light clarity. Compatible with Hikvision NVRs and ONVIF platforms. Powered by PoE or 12VDC.

Why This Camera Stands Out

• 8MP (4K) Resolution - Four times the pixel detail of 2MP cameras - enabling precise facial identification, text reading, and scene detail capture that lower-resolution cameras cannot provide, even when digitally zooming into footage.
• AcuSense + F1.0 Lens - Deep learning accuracy combined with an F1.0 high-sensitivity aperture for cleaner low-light footage - the premium specification combination for demanding indoor security applications.
• Microphone + Audio/Alarm I/O - Built-in microphone for on-site audio recording, plus audio and alarm I/O ports for connection of external devices and integration with broader security systems.

Key Features

• 8MP (4K / approximately 3840x2160) resolution
• Fixed 2.8mm F1.0 high-sensitivity lens
• 30m infrared (IR) night vision
• AcuSense deep learning human and vehicle detection
• 120dB Wide Dynamic Range
• Built-in microphone
• 1 x audio I/O, 1 x alarm I/O
• PoE (IEEE 802.3af) and 12VDC power
• IP67 weatherproof rating
• Dome body for ceiling or wall mounting

Why You'll Love It

When identification quality is the non-negotiable priority - a reception area, a teller counter, a board room, or a retail space where every detail must be captured - the DS-2CD2186G2H-ISU is the answer. 8MP resolution means you can zoom into footage and still read what you need to read. AcuSense, F1.0, and built-in audio complete the package.

FAQ

Does this camera require a 4K-capable NVR? For full 8MP (4K) recording, your NVR must support 8MP resolution per channel. Hikvision NVRs with 4K channel support are available in our range. The camera will also operate at lower resolutions on compatible NVRs without 4K support.

How much storage does 8MP footage consume compared to 4MP? 8MP footage requires approximately twice the storage of 4MP at the same frame rate and compression settings. H.265+ compression significantly reduces this - ensure your NVR hard drive capacity accounts for the higher resolution. Contact us for guidance on storage sizing.

Is this camera suitable for outdoor use? Yes. IP67 weatherproofing makes it suitable for outdoor use under eaves and in covered areas. The F1.0 lens and 30m IR also make it effective in low-ambient outdoor lighting conditions.
