This is a STANDALONE IP CAMERA — not a full recorder kit.
The DS-2CD2386G2-ISU/SL(2.8mm)(C)(BLACK) is a network camera on one cable. It does not include an NVR, hard drive or cloud subscription. Add a PoE switch or NVR to record, or run event-only to the card or VMS of your choice.
- 8 MP BLACK turret camera and accessories bag
- Drill template, waterproof gland and Torx key
- 802.3af PoE NVR or switch port
- External Cat 5e or Cat 6 to the mount point
- Optional microSD, up to 512 GB
8 MP 4K AcuSense deterrence in a black turret.
Built for installs where a black housing suits the fascia — with the same ISU/SL strobe, two‐way audio and AcuSense classification as the standard finish. The DS‐2CD2386G2‐ISU/SL‐C datasheet is the specification authority.
CLARITY · 01
4K, DarkFighter‐class low light, 120 dB WDR.
The 1/1.8" sensor with F1.6 × 2.8 mm optics delivers 111° horizontal coverage. Main stream runs 3840 × 2160 at up to 25 fps (50 Hz) with H.265+, H.265, H.264+ and H.264.
Minimum illumination is 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 adds a visual strobe and audible warning path linked to smart events, plus a built‐in speaker and microphone for talk‐down and line‐level audio I/O.
Pair deterrence with AcuSense so warnings follow people and vehicles — configure in iVMS‐4200, Hik‐Connect or your ONVIF‐compatible VMS.
BUILD · 03
IP67 black metal, Ø138.3 mm, 840 g.
This SKU ships in a factory black housing, IP67 to IEC 60529‐2013, with a 3‐axis turret head. Operating range is −30°C to +60°C at up to 95% RH non‐condensing.
Power from 802.3af PoE (max 10 W) or 12 VDC. Optional 512 GB microSD for edge recording or ANR.
How it works
From cable pull to 4K + deterrence in four steps.
01
Power and data on one run
802.3af Class 3 PoE; allow headroom for the 10 W maximum on longer runs.
02
Adopt in SADP or NVR
Set a strong password, enable H.265+ main stream, map AcuSense events to record rules.
03
Tune IR, strobe and audio
Verify two‐way levels, set Smart IR distance, enable deterrence only where policy allows.
04
Handover
Document edge card (if fitted), Hik‐Connect pairing, and deterrence schedules.

Answers
Frequently asked questions
What does the (BLACK) suffix mean on this listing?
This is the factory black housing variant of the DS‐2CD2386G2‐ISU/SL 2.8 mm camera. Optics, AcuSense, strobe/audio and networking match the standard ISU/SL family — only the external finish differs.
What does ISU/SL mean?
ISU = built‐in two‐way audio (mic + speaker + line I/O). SL = active strobe light and audible warning deterrence path on the Hikvision datasheet.
What microSD capacity is supported?
Hikvision documents up to 512 GB microSD / SDHC / SDXC on the DS‐2CD2386G2‐ISU/SL‐C datasheet. Use a surveillance‐rated endurance card for 24/7 write.
How much PoE does it need?
802.3af Class 3 PoE with a maximum 10 W draw on PoE (9 W on 12 VDC). Size your switch port for the cable run you are using.
Will it work with a third-party NVR?
Video over ONVIF (Profiles S, G, T) and standard H.265/H.264 streams usually works. For the deepest AcuSense event metadata, pair with a Hikvision AcuSense NVR or test in iVMS‐4200 first.
Can I leave the strobe and siren on all the time?
No — configure deterrence as event‐driven rules with schedules. Follow local privacy, noise and signage requirements before enabling strobe or audible warnings.
Installation & safety notice
Low-voltage product (SELV). Powered by IEEE 802.3af PoE or a 12 VDC plug-pack. No mains wiring inside the device. 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 Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2-ISU/SL-C datasheet for your firmware; features can change between revisions. Product appearance 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 follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
