Product SKU: IDS-2CD7186G2-IZS-2.8-12MM
Product Overview
The Hikvision iDS-2CD7186G2-IZS is an 8 MP DeepinView outdoor motorised varifocal dome camera designed for high-performance commercial, enterprise and intelligent surveillance applications. Its 1/1.8-inch progressive scan CMOS sensor captures up to 3840 × 2160 resolution, while the 2.8–12 mm motorised P-iris lens provides a wide-to-telephoto horizontal field of view from approximately 112.3° to 41.2°. DarkFighter 2.0 low-light technology, 140 dB WDR and up to 40 m smart infrared illumination support demanding day and night environments. Beyond conventional human and vehicle perimeter classification, the camera provides advanced DeepinView functions including face capture and comparison, multi-target detection, people counting, queue management, heat mapping, PPE detection and activity analysis.
Key Capabilities
8 MP High-Frame-Rate Imaging
The camera captures up to 3840 × 2160 resolution and supports up to 50 fps at 8 MP in 50 Hz monitoring mode, with up to 60 fps available in 60 Hz configurations for smoother capture of fast-moving activity.
DarkFighter 2.0 Low-Light Performance
Colour sensitivity reaches as low as 0.0005 lux at the wide aperture, with black-and-white sensitivity down to 0.0001 lux before infrared illumination is required.
DeepinView Multi-Target Analytics
The camera can simultaneously detect and capture human bodies, faces and vehicles while extracting target attributes for advanced analytics and investigation workflows.
140 dB Wide Dynamic Range
Advanced 140 dB WDR helps preserve detail across scenes containing strong highlights, backlighting and deep shadows, including entrances and high-contrast commercial environments.
2.8–12 mm Motorised Varifocal Lens
The motorised P-iris lens lets installers remotely adjust framing from a broad 112.3° horizontal view to a tighter 41.2° view, reducing the need for physical refocusing during setup.
Advanced Audio Security
Dual built-in microphones, a built-in speaker, external audio input/output and intelligent sound-event detection support richer real-time audio monitoring and event response.
Best For
- Commercial Entrances: Motorised framing, face analytics and 140 dB WDR suit busy doorways and reception approaches.
- Retail & Shopping Environments: Queue management, heat maps and people counting provide analytics beyond conventional CCTV recording.
- Industrial & Workplace Monitoring: PPE, hard-hat and activity analysis functions can support specialised safety-monitoring applications.
- Transport & Public Areas: High frame rates and multi-target detection suit scenes with people and vehicles moving at different speeds.
- Outdoor High-Risk Areas: IP67 weather protection and IK10 vandal resistance support exposed or physically demanding installations.
Why Choose the iDS-2CD7186G2-IZS
The iDS-2CD7186G2-IZS goes well beyond the feature set of a standard 8 MP dome camera. Its DarkFighter 2.0 imaging, 140 dB WDR, high-frame-rate recording and motorised P-iris lens address demanding image-quality requirements, while DeepinView analytics add face capture, face comparison, human and vehicle classification, queue management, people counting, PPE detection and activity analysis. Dual microphones, a built-in speaker, alarm interfaces and up to 1 TB local storage further extend its standalone capabilities. Available through Security Wholesalers, this 2.8–12 mm version is particularly suitable where both flexible scene framing and advanced intelligent analytics are required from one robust outdoor camera.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: Hikvision separates monitoring mode from smart mode. Monitoring mode supports the highest frame rates, including up to 50 fps at 8 MP in 50 Hz systems, while smart mode runs advanced DeepinView functions at up to 25 fps at 8 MP. Select the operating mode according to whether maximum frame rate or advanced analytics is the greater priority.
Buyer Tip: The 2.8–12 mm version provides 40 m IR and a wide-to-medium field of view. Hikvision also offers an 8–32 mm variant with a narrower long-range field of view and up to 60 m IR where tighter framing over greater distances is required.

Choosing the Right Model
- Choose the 2.8–12 mm version if: You need flexible wide-to-medium scene coverage with motorised adjustment and up to 40 m infrared illumination.
- Choose the 8–32 mm version if: The installation needs tighter framing, greater pixel density on distant subjects and the model’s longer 60 m IR specification.
- Choose monitoring mode if: High frame rate is more important than running the full advanced DeepinView analytics set.
- Choose smart mode if: Face analytics, people counting, queue management, PPE detection or other advanced DeepinView functions are the primary requirement.
