4K deterrence. Not just a picture.
Strobe, audio, AcuSense.
The Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2-ISU/SL (BLACK, 2.8 mm) is an 8 MP 4K turret with human/vehicle AcuSense classification, 120 dB WDR, active strobe and audio alarm, and built‐in two‐way audio with speaker and microphone. It is a self‐contained network camera: add a recorder or VMS to match your retention needs.
Product shot may differ from the actual product.
This is a STANDALONE IP CAMERA — it is not a full recorder kit.
The DS-2CD2386G2-ISU/SL is a full network camera on one cable, but it does not include an NVR, hard drive or cloud subscription. You will typically add a PoE switch or NVR to record, or run event-only to the card or VMS of your choice.
- 8 MP turret camera and accessories bag (per Hikvision regional kit)
- Drill template, waterproof gland and Torx key (class-typical)
Exact accessories vary by region; use the manufacturer quick-start if in doubt.
- 802.3af (or 802.3at) PSE: PoE NVR or switch
- External Cat cable to the mount point
- Optional microSD, up to 512 GB (per datasheet)

8 MP 4K, AcuSense, and on-board deterrence in one turret.
Hikvision positions the DS‐2CD2386G2‐ISU/SL line for customers who want human/vehicle classification, wide dynamic range, and an active warning path without running extra devices. The attached DS‐2CD2386G2‐ISU/SL‐C datasheet is the specification authority for this 2.8 mm SKU.
CLARITY · 01
4K, DarkFighter‐class low light, 120 dB WDR.
The 1/1.8" sensor behind F1.6 × 2.8 mm optics delivers 111° horizontal coverage with a main stream at 3840 × 2160 up to 25 fps (50 Hz) per the official datasheet, with H.265+, H.265, H.264+ and H.264.
Minimum scene illumination is documented at 0.003 lux in colour (F1.6, AGC on) and 0 lux in monochrome with 850 nm Smart IR out to 30 m.
DETER · 02
Strobe, speaker and two‐way audio on the same PoE run.
The SL suffix brings a visual strobe and audible warning path you can link to smart events, alongside the built‐in speaker and microphone for two‐way communication and line‐level audio I/O on terminal blocks.
Pair deterrence with AcuSense target classification so warnings follow people and vehicles rather than every shadow — configure rules in iVMS‐4200, Hik‐Connect or your ONVIF‐compatible VMS.
BUILD · 03
IP67 metal, Ø138.3 mm footprint, 840 g.
The housing is IP67 to IEC 60529‐2013 with a 3‐axis turret head. Operating range is −30°C to +60°C and 95% RH non‐condensing, matching the published environmental table.
Use 802.3af PoE (max 10 W on PoE per datasheet) or 12 VDC. Add a 512 GB edge card if you need local redundancy alongside your NVR.
How it works
From cable pull to 4K + deterrence in four steps.
01
Power and data on one run
802.3af Class 3 PSE; allow headroom for the 10 W PoE maximum in the datasheet on longer runs.
02
Adopt in SADP or NVR
Set a strong password, enable H.265+ main stream, and map AcuSense events to record and notification rules.
03
Tune IR, strobe and audio
With consent, verify two‐way levels, set Smart IR distance, and only enable strobe/audible paths where policy allows.
04
Handover
Document where the edge card lives (if fitted), Hik‐Connect pairing, and which rules drive deterrence.

Answers
Frequently asked questions
What does ISU/SL mean on the model name?
ISU denotes built‐in two‐way audio. SL denotes the active strobe and audible‐warning feature set on the Hikvision datasheet. This listing is the 2.8 mm fixed lens variant.
What capacity microSD card can I use?
Hikvision documents up to 512 GB microSD / SDHC / SDXC in the current DS‐2CD2386G2‐ISU/SL‐C datasheet. Use a surveillance‐rated endurance card for continuous write.
How much PoE does the camera need?
The datasheet lists 802.3af Class 3 PoE with a maximum 10 W draw on PoE and 9 W on 12 VDC. Use a PSE that can deliver Class 3 on the run length you need.
Will it work with my non‐Hikvision NVR?
In most cases via ONVIF (Profiles S, G, T) and standard H.264/H.265 streams. For the deepest AcuSense event integration, pair with a Hikvision AcuSense‐capable NVR or iVMS‐4200.
Is the strobe and siren always on?
No. They are event‐driven deterrence features you enable and schedule in the camera or VMS. Follow local lighting and privacy rules for your state or territory.

Installation & safety notice
Low-voltage product (SELV). The DS-2CD2386G2-ISU/SL is powered by IEEE 802.3af PoE or a 12 VDC plug-pack. There is no mains wiring inside the device. A standard plug-in 12 VDC adapter in an existing GPO is fine to use as-is for bench testing; most permanent installs use PoE from a switch or NVR port.
When a licensed tradesperson is required. Concealed structured data cabling is customer cabling under AS/CA S009 and must be installed by an ACMA-registered cabler. Strobe/audible deterrence: configure per local privacy and sound-level rules. New GPOs or switchboard work require a licensed electrician under AS/NZS 3000.
Specifications in good faith. Verify the attached Hikvision datasheet (stamped) for your firmware; features and accessories can change. Product appearance and packaging may differ from marketing images.
By placing an order you confirm the product is fit for your intended use and that cabling and mounting will be performed to the manufacturer’s instructions. Infront Technologies does not accept liability for incorrect site preparation or misuse outside Hikvision’s specifications.
