Description

Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2-I 8MP DarkFighter Turret Outdoor IP Camera

The Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2-I is a professional-grade 8MP turret network camera engineered for demanding surveillance applications requiring exceptional low-light performance and intelligent threat detection. Built on a 1/1.8" progressive scan CMOS sensor with 3840 × 2160 resolution, this camera delivers ultra-high-definition imagery with the clarity needed to identify subjects across expansive monitoring areas. The DarkFighter technology enables operation at extreme low-light conditions, with color performance as low as 0.003 Lux (F1.6, AGC ON) and full B/W operation at 0 Lux with IR supplementation.

Key Features

  • AcuSense Intelligence: Human and vehicle target classification reduces false alarms and streamlines security workflows
  • 120 dB WDR: Wide Dynamic Range captures detail in high-contrast scenes with simultaneous backlit and frontlit areas
  • IR Illumination: Smart supplement light extends up to 30 m with 850 nm wavelength for seamless day/night transitions
  • Multiple Lens Options: Fixed focal lenses in 2.8 mm, 4 mm, and 6 mm configurations with M12 mount, accommodating diverse FOV requirements
  • Advanced Compression: H.265+, H.265, H.264+, and H.264 encoding optimizes bandwidth and storage efficiency
  • PoE Powered: 802.3af Class 3 eliminates separate power infrastructure; max draw 6.8 W
  • IP67 Rated: Sealed design withstands harsh outdoor environments, dust, and water ingress
  • Face Capture & Analytics: Built-in motion detection with human/vehicle classification and scene change detection
  • Flexible Storage: MicroSD/SDHC/SDXC support up to 256 GB with local recording, plus NAS integration and automatic network replenishment (ANR)

Technical Specifications

The camera operates at 30 fps in 4K and supports up to 6 simultaneous live view channels via HTTPS-encrypted ONVIF, ISAPI, and SDK connectivity. The 52 dB SNR and fixed F1.6 aperture ensure consistent image quality across changing lighting conditions. Audio input (mono) with multiple compression formats and built-in microphone enable two-way communication. Network security includes password protection, IP filtering, 802.1X authentication, and comprehensive audit logging. The compact turret form factor (Ø138.3 × 126.3 mm, 740 g) integrates discreetly into varied architectural settings while maintaining full pan/tilt/rotate adjustment capability (0–360° pan/rotate, 0–75° tilt).

Applications

Ideal for perimeter security, traffic monitoring, facility entrances, parking areas, and critical infrastructure protection where extended detection range and low-light clarity are essential. The combination of intelligent analytics and robust environmental sealing makes it suitable for airports, manufacturing plants, smart cities, and enterprise campuses.

The DS-2CD2386G2-I represents Hikvision's DarkFighter platform maturity, delivering genuine low-light performance without sacrificing color fidelity. The 120 dB WDR addresses a critical pain point in outdoor surveillance—simultaneous capture of backlit subjects and bright surfaces—without resorting to image fusion artifacts. AcuSense's human/vehicle classification is particularly valuable in large-scale deployments, as it materially reduces SOC alert fatigue compared to generic motion detection.

The three lens options provide deployment flexibility; the 6 mm variant delivers 140 m detection range, critical for perimeter and long-range applications. The H.265+ codec support is essential for organizations managing bandwidth constraints; at equivalent quality, H.265+ delivers 50% bitrate savings versus H.264. PoE Class 3 simplicity (max 6.8 W) is a significant advantage for retrofit installations.

The microSD onboard storage with ANR fallback provides redundancy without external NAS dependency. For integrators, the camera's support for ONVIF Profile S/G/T, ISAPI, and SDK ensures compatibility across management platforms. The face capture capability, combined with region of interest (ROI) functionality, enables intelligent streaming to analytics backends.

Thermal performance across -30 to 60°C ensures consistent operation in extreme climates. This camera is well-suited for tier-1 deployments where cost-per-detection-meter is a secondary concern to reliability and image quality.
