- Description
Product Overview
Delivering high-definition surveillance with enhanced night performance, the Hikvision DS-2CD2T86G2-2I is an 8MP (4K) outdoor bullet camera designed for perimeter monitoring across residential properties, commercial yards, and industrial facilities. Powered by Hikvision's DarkFighter technology and a 1/1.8" progressive scan sensor, it captures crisp, detailed video in low-light environments. Its long-range infrared LEDs deliver reliable illumination up to 50 meters in pitch-black conditions. Equipped with AcuSense artificial intelligence, this model precisely distinguishes humans and vehicles from benign environmental movement, minimizing false alerts. Complete with 120dB True WDR for high-contrast scenes and an IP67-rated weather-resistant housing, it is built to perform in challenging outdoor environments across Australia.
Key Features
- DarkFighter Low-Light Performance: Delivers vivid, usable image quality in ultra-low ambient light conditions down to 0.008 lux.
- AcuSense Target Filtering: Advanced deep-learning AI algorithms classify people and vehicles, drastically filtering out false motion triggers.
- 50m Extended IR Illumination: Built-in long-distance infrared LEDs supply clear night vision coverage up to 50 meters.
- 8MP 4K Ultra HD Resolution: Captures high-density 3840 × 2160 video for accurate facial and license plate identification during footage review.
- H.265+ Compression Technology: Maximizes storage efficiency and reduces bandwidth consumption without sacrificing image clarity.
- 120dB True WDR: Balances exposure in scenes containing harsh shadows and bright highlights simultaneously.
- IP67 Weatherproof Rating: Heavy-duty housing shields internal optics against dust, severe rain, and harsh weather conditions.
Key Capabilities
DarkFighter Low-Light Sensitivity
Combines a large 1/1.8" image sensor with optimized noise reduction to capture superior detail and color in dim nighttime conditions.
Extended 50m Infrared Coverage
High-output EXIR infrared LEDs project clear, uniform lighting up to 50 meters across dark outdoor yards, driveways, and boundaries.
AcuSense Intelligent Target Analytics
Uses deep learning to focus alert triggers specifically on human and vehicular movement, preventing unnecessary notifications caused by rain, wind, or animals.
120dB True Wide Dynamic Range
Processes high-contrast background illumination effectively, ensuring subjects standing near bright sunlight or headlights remain clear.
H.265+ Smart Codec Efficiency
Optimizes video compression to decrease hard drive storage requirements and network bandwidth utilization while preserving full 8MP image quality.
Weatherproof Outdoor Construction
Robust metal bullet chassis with IP67 protection ensures reliable multi-season operation across diverse Australian climates.

Choosing the Right Model
Choose this model if…
- You require sharp 8MP 4K video image quality with DarkFighter low-light capabilities.
- You need long-distance infrared illumination up to 50 meters.
- You want AcuSense deep-learning AI to filter false alerts accurately.
- You prefer a traditional bullet design that serves as a visible security deterrent.
- You need durable IP67 weatherproof housing for outdoor installation.
Choose a different model if…
- You need active deterrence (flashing strobe and audible siren). Choose the Hikvision AcuSense Live-Guard model (DS-2CD2T86G2-ISU/SL).
- You want 24/7 full-colour night recording without standard IR. Select a Hikvision ColorVu bullet or turret model.
- You require a lower profile dome or turret shape. Consider a Hikvision AcuSense Turret (DS-2CD2186G2-I or DS-2CD2386G2-IU).
FAQs
How does AcuSense technology lower false alerts?
AcuSense uses deep-learning algorithms to identify and distinguish human subjects and vehicles from non-threatening motion triggers like rain, blowing foliage, or small animals.
What is the effective distance of the infrared night vision?
The integrated EXIR infrared light system provides effective night vision coverage up to 50 meters in total darkness.
Does this camera model include an active strobe light or speaker?
No. This standard 2I model is a non-slotted bullet camera focused on recording and analytics. For built-in strobe lights and audible speaker sirens, look for the SL / Live-Guard variant.
Can this camera function without an NVR recorder?
Yes. It incorporates an onboard MicroSD slot supporting up to 256 GB for local edge storage and remote management using the Hik-Connect mobile app.
How is power supplied to this camera?
It can be powered using Power over Ethernet (PoE 802.3af) through a standard network cable or via a local 12V DC power plug.
