Hikvision 10x AcuSense 8MP 4K Darkfighter IP Turret Built In Mic Audio 30m POE Kit DS-2CD2386G2-IU
Product Videos
Description
This professional 10-camera kit centres on the Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2-IU 8MP turret cameras, delivering true 4K (3840×2160) video with exceptional low-light performance.
Each DS-2CD2386G2-IU camera uses a 1/1.8″ progressive-scan CMOS sensor to capture rich detail. Powered by DarkFighter technology, these cameras achieve ultra-low illumination (0.003 Lux in colour) and even 0 Lux with IR, ensuring clear night vision.
Hikvision’s AcuSense deep-learning algorithms are built in, so the system can focus on people and vehicles while ignoring irrelevant motion. A built‑in microphone on each camera enables real-time audio monitoring.
The rugged turret housings are rated IP67 for weather resistance (indoor/outdoor use) and offer wide-angle adjustment (pan 0–360°, tilt 0–75°) for flexible mounting.

Illumination: Smart IR LEDs with 850 nm wavelength, effective up to 30 m range. The camera automatically switches to B/W mode for nighttime. (Illumination type: IR.)
Minimum Illumination: 0.003 Lux in colour (F1.6, AGC On); 0 Lux when IR is on.
Wide Dynamic Range: 120 dB True WDR for handling extreme light differences in a scene.

Angle Adjustment: Pan 0–360°, tilt 0–75°, and rotate 0–360° for versatile mounting.
Compression: Mainstream H.265/H.264 (+/-); sub-stream H.265/H.264/MJPEG. Supports H.265+ for bandwidth savings.
Audio: Mono input from built-in mic. Compression: G.711 u-law/a-law, G.722.1, G.726, MP2L2, MP3, AAC. Sampling up to 48 kHz; bitrates from 8 to 320 kbps.
Video Bitrate: 32 Kbps to 16 Mbps, CBR/VBR control.
Streams: Up to 3 concurrent streams; main stream up to 25/30 fps at 4K; third stream for mobile view.
Network: 1× 10/100 Mbps Ethernet (PoE 802.3af). Support for IPv4/IPv6, TCP/IP, HTTP, HTTPS, QoS, DHCP, DNS, UPnP, RTSP, RTCP, NTP, SMTP, SNMP, IGMP, 802.1X, etc.
Storage: MicroSD/SDHC/SDXC card slot (up to 256 GB) with ANR (auto network recovery) support. Network storage via NAS (NFS, SMB/CIFS) is also supported.
Power: 12 VDC ±25% (max ~6 W) with DC jack, or PoE (Class 3, max ~6.8 W). Reverse-polarity protection on DC input.
Physical: Ø138.3 mm × 126.3 mm (Ø5.4″ × 5″); weight ≈740 g. Reset and WDR buttons are accessible. Metal and plastic turret housing.
Approvals: CE, FCC, and UL listed; RoHS and REACH compliant. IK10 (vandal-resistant) rating as standard for turret models.
Operating Conditions: –30°C to 60°C; 95% non-condensing humidity. Weatherproof (IP67).
Video & Audio Features
High-Quality Video: The camera supports dual-streaming and triple-streaming modes. The mainstream can deliver full 4K at up to 25/30 fps. Dual 16× digital zoom is also available in client software.
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR): True WDR 120 dB handles very bright and dark areas in the same frame (e.g., driving towards a sunset or bright headlights).
Noise Reduction: 3D-DNR (digital noise reduction) to improve clarity in low-light video. Sharpness, saturation, brightness, and other image parameters are adjustable via the web interface or client software.
Audio Monitoring: The built-in mic captures mono audio. Audio compression and filtering ensure clear sound even in noisy environments.
Privacy Masking: Up to 4 programmable privacy mask zones to block sensitive areas from view (configurable in software).
Motion Detection: Traditional motion detection (pixel change) is supported, though AcuSense’s advanced motion detection (human/vehicle) is preferred for fewer false alarms.
Network & Storage
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE): Simplifies installation. Only one cable is needed per camera for both data and power (IEEE 802.3af, Class 3).
ONVIF Compliance: Works with Hikvision NVRs and major third-party VMS systems via ONVIF.
Client Support: Compatible with iVMS-4200, Hik-Connect (mobile/cloud app) and HikCentral software. IE and modern browsers (Chrome/Firefox) with plugin-free live viewing.
Alarm Handling: Supports FTP/email upload of snapshots on alarm and client notifications. Pixel-counting analytics (object counting) is also available for advanced setups.
Data Protection: Supports HTTPS encryption, user authentication, IP filtering and IEEE 802.1X to secure the video streams.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2-IU?
A 4K (8MP) AcuSense fixed turret camera with DarkFighter low-light technology, built-in microphone (-U versions), H.265+ compression and robust weather protection for outdoor use.Does the DS-2CD2386G2-IU have a built-in microphone?
Yes—the “-U” variant includes a built-in mono microphone for audio monitoring/recording. (Note: some users report configuration/firmware issues when enabling audio.)Is the camera PoE (Power over Ethernet)?
Yes — it supports IEEE 802.3af PoE so a single Cat cable can provide power and data.How far can the infrared night vision reach?
IR illumination is effective to around 30 metres, providing usable B/W night images when IR is active.What do AcuSense and DarkFighter mean for performance?
AcuSense uses deep learning to classify humans and vehicles (reducing false alarms), while DarkFighter boosts low-light colour performance for clearer images in very low illumination.Will this camera work with third-party NVRs/VMS (ONVIF)?
The camera supports standard protocols and ONVIF, but some users have reported compatibility or add-on errors with certain older NVRs — enabling ONVIF and updating firmware usually resolves most issues.How much local storage does it support (microSD)?
It supports microSD/SDHC/SDXC cards (ANR supported) — the official datasheet lists support up to 256 GB for onboard storage.Why am I not getting audio from the built-in mic?
Common causes: audio not enabled in camera/NVR settings, codec mismatch, or firmware bugs. Community reports recommend checking audio stream settings, updating firmware, and testing via Hik-Connect/iVMS or RTSP.What’s the difference between the -I and -IU model suffixes (IP rating)?
The datasheet and resellers note small suffix differences: generally, -I models are rated IP67 while -IU variants can be IP66 in some SKUs—always check the exact datasheet for the SKU you’re buying.Does the DS-2CD2386G2-IU support Hik-Connect / remote viewing on mobile?
Yes — it’s compatible with Hikvision’s Hik-Connect and client software for remote live view, playback and push notifications, subject to proper network configuration and firmware.
