Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2-I 4K 8MP AcuSense Turret IP Camera with IR
The Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2-I is an advanced 8 MP (4K) Fixed Turret Network Camera designed to deliver superior surveillance with intelligent human and vehicle classification. Powered by AcuSense technology, this camera uses deep learning algorithms to dramatically reduce false alarms by distinguishing people and vehicles from other moving objects. With DarkFighter low-light technology, 120 dB true WDR, and efficient H.265+ compression, the DS-2CD2386G2-I offers crystal-clear imaging in challenging lighting conditions while minimizing bandwidth and storage requirements.
AcuSense Technology
Hikvision's AcuSense technology embeds deep learning algorithms directly into the camera to classify human and vehicle targets in real time. This intelligent discrimination greatly improves alarm efficiency by filtering out irrelevant motion triggers such as animals, foliage, or weather conditions, ensuring you focus on genuine security threats.
-
Human and Vehicle Classification: Precise target identification reduces false alarms
-
Perimeter Protection: Line crossing, intrusion, region entrance, and region exiting detection
-
Deep Learning Algorithms: Advanced AI-powered analytics built into the camera
Exceptional Image Quality
Capture every detail with the 8 MP resolution (3840 × 2160) sensor that delivers 4K UHD imaging. The camera features powered-by-DarkFighter technology for excellent low-light performance with a minimum illumination of just 0.003 Lux in color mode, and 0 Lux with IR. The 120 dB true WDR ensures clear imaging even against strong backlighting conditions.
