Product SKU: DS-2CD26862TIZS
Product Overview
The Hikvision DS-2CD26862TIZS is an 8MP 4K AcuSense motorised bullet network camera designed for outdoor surveillance where detailed image capture, flexible zoom adjustment and smart event filtering are required. It suits driveways, building perimeters, warehouses, loading areas, car parks, gates and commercial entrances where a fixed wide lens may not provide the right balance of coverage and detail. With a 2.8 to 12 mm varifocal lens, powered-by-DarkFighter low-light performance, 120 dB WDR and up to 60 m IR, this model can be adjusted to suit wider monitoring or more focused entry-point coverage. Human and vehicle classification based on deep learning helps reduce nuisance alarms, while IP67 weather protection and IK10 impact resistance make it suitable for demanding outdoor installations.
Key Capabilities
8MP 4K Detail
The 3840 × 2160 resolution provides detailed 4K footage for outdoor monitoring points where clearer playback matters. This is useful for reviewing people, vehicles, movement patterns and incident details across entrances, yards and commercial perimeters.
Motorised Varifocal Lens
The 2.8 to 12 mm motorised lens allows the field of view to be adjusted for wide area coverage or tighter monitoring of a specific gate, doorway, vehicle lane or access point. This gives installers more flexibility than a fixed-lens bullet camera.
AcuSense Human and Vehicle Filtering
Deep learning-based human and vehicle classification helps make alerts more relevant by filtering many non-security movements. This is especially useful in outdoor areas where rain, trees, insects, shadows or animals can otherwise trigger unnecessary recordings.
Low-Light and Long IR Performance
Powered-by-DarkFighter technology, 120 dB WDR and up to 60 m IR help the camera handle low light, night scenes and mixed lighting. This matters for driveways, loading docks, external walls and commercial sites with changing light levels.
Audio and Alarm Interfaces
The camera includes line-in audio input, line-out audio output, alarm input and alarm output connections. This makes it suitable for installations where external audio devices, alarm triggers or linked response devices form part of the system design.
Rugged Outdoor Bullet Housing
IP67 weather resistance and IK10 impact protection make this model suitable for exposed or higher-risk locations. The bullet form factor also provides a visible camera presence, which can be useful around perimeters and entry points.
Best For
- Driveways and Gates: Suitable where the lens needs to be adjusted for a wider driveway view or a tighter focus on a gate or vehicle entry point.
- Commercial Perimeters: Useful for external walls, fenced boundaries and side access areas where human and vehicle filtering helps reduce irrelevant alerts.
- Warehouses and Loading Docks: A practical choice for monitoring roller doors, loading bays, vehicle movement and after-hours activity with strong 4K detail.
- Car Parks: Well suited to fixed views where the varifocal lens can be adjusted to balance coverage width and subject detail.

Why Choose the DS-2CD26862TIZS
Choose the DS-2CD26862TIZS when you need an 8MP outdoor bullet camera with adjustable varifocal coverage rather than a fixed lens. The motorised 2.8 to 12 mm lens makes it easier to fine-tune the scene after installation, whether the camera is monitoring a wide driveway, a narrower gate or a more distant access point. Compared with a basic fixed bullet camera, this model adds AcuSense human and vehicle classification, powered-by-DarkFighter low-light performance, 60 m IR, 120 dB WDR, local microSD storage and rugged IP67/IK10 protection. For buyers comparing outdoor bullet cameras supplied by Security Wholesalers, the key advantage is the combination of 4K detail, lens flexibility and smarter event filtering.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: Choose this motorised varifocal model when you are unsure whether a wide fixed lens or a narrower view will suit the site. The 2.8 to 12 mm lens gives installers room to adjust the viewing angle after the camera is mounted.
Buyer Tip: This is a motorised bullet camera, not a PTZ camera. The lens can be adjusted for zoom and focus, but it is not designed for continuous remote pan and tilt operation across a large area.

- Choose an active deterrence model if: You need built-in strobe light, siren or speaker warning functions at the camera itself.
FAQs
- What is the benefit of the DS-2CD26862TIZS motorised varifocal lens?
The 2.8 to 12 mm motorised varifocal lens lets the installer adjust the viewing angle after installation. This is useful when the camera must be fine-tuned for a driveway, gate, loading area or perimeter view. It provides more flexibility than a fixed lens, especially where the ideal framing is not known until the camera is mounted.
- Is the DS-2CD26862TIZS suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. The DS-2CD26862TIZS is suitable for outdoor use with IP67 weather resistance and IK10 impact protection. It can be installed around driveways, warehouses, gates, car parks, loading docks and exposed building perimeters. Proper mounting, sealed cabling and suitable positioning are still important for long-term outdoor reliability.
- Does this camera have AcuSense detection?
Yes. This camera supports human and vehicle classification based on deep learning for smart events such as line crossing, intrusion, region entrance and region exiting detection. This helps reduce unnecessary alerts caused by non-security movement and makes event review easier, especially in outdoor environments with frequent background activity.
- How far can the camera see at night?
The DS-2CD26862TIZS supports IR illumination up to 60 m. Real-world visibility depends on the selected zoom level, mounting height, camera angle, surface reflectivity, weather conditions and nearby lighting. Powered-by-DarkFighter technology also helps improve low-light image usability in dim scenes before the environment becomes fully dark.
- Is this camera the same as a PTZ camera?
No. This is a motorised varifocal bullet camera, not a PTZ camera. The lens can be adjusted to set the zoom and focus, but the camera is intended to monitor a fixed direction once configured. Choose a PTZ model if you need remote pan, tilt and zoom movement across a large open area.
- Does the DS-2CD26862TIZS support audio?
The camera provides audio input and audio output interfaces via terminal blocks, along with audio compression and noise filtering support. This means external audio equipment can be used where required and properly configured. It should not be treated as a built-in microphone model unless the specific supplied variant confirms onboard microphone hardware.
- Can this camera record to a microSD card?
Yes. The DS-2CD26862TIZS includes a built-in microSD, microSDHC or microSDXC card slot supporting up to 256 GB. This can be useful for local backup, edge recording or ANR-supported recording designs. For multi-camera systems, an NVR is still commonly used for centralised storage and easier playback management.
- Who should choose this camera over a standard fixed bullet camera?
Choose this model if lens flexibility matters. A fixed bullet camera is simpler, but the DS-2CD26862TIZS allows the view to be adjusted from wide to tighter coverage, making it useful for mixed site requirements. Buyers using Security Wholesalers for larger outdoor sites may find this helpful when camera placement and subject distance vary across the property.
