Product Overview
The Hikvision DS-2CD2T86G2H-2I (2.8 mm) is a professional-grade 8 MP bullet IP camera delivering ultra-high-definition (4K equivalent) imaging with outstanding low-light clarity powered by DarkFighter technology. Featuring 120 dB WDR, it provides clear, balanced video in mixed or backlit conditions. Compact yet robust, this camera is designed for reliable outdoor performance under demanding Australian environments.
Why Choose the DS-2CD2T86G2H-2I
This camera combines superior 4K resolution, intelligent analytics, and exceptional low-light performance. Hikvision’s AcuSense deep-learning platform distinguishes humans and vehicles from irrelevant motion to minimise false alarms and improve accuracy. With H.265+ smart compression, it efficiently reduces bandwidth and storage consumption without compromising image quality. The rugged IP67 housing makes it an excellent choice for residential, commercial, and industrial surveillance.

Choosing Between the 2.8 mm and 4 mm Lens
The DS-2CD2T86G2H-2I is available with two lens options to suit different scene requirements:
| Lens | Horizontal View | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.8 mm | ~111° | Wide coverage areas | Ideal for open yards, carparks and large entries. |
| 4 mm | ~90° | Focused coverage | Best for entrances or areas requiring more detail over distance. |
Tip: Choose 2.8 mm for broad overview; choose 4 mm for precise monitoring at longer ranges.
FAQs
- What does “-2I” mean?
It indicates the infrared illuminator variant offering up to 60 m night vision range for extended coverage in dark areas. - Is this camera suitable for low-light environments?
Yes – the DarkFighter sensor and Smart IR provide clear images in extremely low-light conditions without external lighting. - How does AcuSense help reduce false alarms?
It uses deep learning to differentiate between humans and vehicles, ignoring irrelevant motion like rain or animals. - Can it handle harsh outdoor conditions?
Yes – rated IP67, it is built to resist rain, dust and temperature extremes typical of Australian climates. - Is storage efficient?
Absolutely – H.265+ compression reduces storage and bandwidth usage by up to 80 % while maintaining 4K quality.
