About the DS-2CD2186G2H-ISU-B
The Hikvision DS-2CD2186G2H-ISU-B is the black-housing version of the 8 megapixel AcuSense DarkFighter fixed dome network camera, combining identical high-performance specifications with a discreet dark finish that suits installations where a less prominent camera profile is preferred. The camera delivers full 4K Ultra HD resolution at 3840 x 2160 using a 1/1.8" progressive scan CMOS sensor, providing outstanding image clarity for forensic identification, wide-area monitoring and detailed scene capture across both indoor and outdoor environments.
DarkFighter technology enables colour video performance at illumination levels as low as 0.0008 Lux, while EXIR 2.0 infrared LEDs provide effective night vision coverage to 30 metres in total darkness. This combination ensures high-quality footage is maintained across the full range of lighting conditions encountered in professional surveillance deployments, from brightly lit retail interiors to poorly lit external areas.
AcuSense deep learning analytics deliver perimeter protection with precise human and vehicle target classification, covering line crossing, intrusion, region entrance and region exiting detection scenarios. The system filters out false alarms caused by irrelevant motion sources, ensuring that alerts generated by the camera correspond to genuine security events. Face capture is supported as an additional forensic feature.
The -ISU suffix indicates the inclusion of a built-in microphone for live audio monitoring, an audio output interface for an external speaker, and alarm I/O with one input and one output for integration into wider security infrastructure. Wide dynamic range performance of 130dB ensures balanced exposure in challenging contrast conditions, and H.265+ compression keeps bandwidth and storage demands to a minimum. On-board microSD storage is supported up to 512GB, with ANR for network outage resilience.
The IK10 vandal-resistant, IP67-rated aluminium alloy housing makes this camera a reliable choice for demanding environments where physical durability is as important as image performance. PoE (IEEE 802.3af) or 12VDC power input is supported, and full ONVIF compliance ensures straightforward integration with compatible NVRs and VMS software. Operating temperature range extends from -30 degrees C to 60 degrees C.
