The Hikvision DS-2CD2086G2H-I(U) is a high-performance mini bullet network camera, part of the Pro / EasyIP range, optimized for demanding lighting and security environments. With its 1/1.8″ progressive scan CMOS sensor and DarkFighter imaging engine, it can produce sharp video even under extremely low ambient light.
This camera supports deep learning features focused on human and vehicle detection to reduce false alerts, and offers robust image processing capabilities including 120 dB WDR (wide dynamic range) to manage scenes with both bright and dark regions. For the “-U” variant, there is a built-in microphone to support real-time audio monitoring. The camera is rated IP67 for protection against dust and water ingress, making it suitable for outdoor deployment in various climates.
