Best For: Home entrances, driveways, retail shopfronts and business perimeters needing 4K video, human and vehicle detection, two-way audio and active light and sound warnings.
8MP 4K AcuSense Mini Bullet Camera
The Hikvision DS-2CD2086G2H-I2U/SL combines 8MP video, human and vehicle classification, a white warning strobe and an audible alarm in a compact outdoor bullet camera. This listing offers white and black housing options with a 2.8mm fixed lens. It suits properties where camera monitoring, event alerts and a visible warning at the camera are required.

- 120 dB WDR and H.265+ compression
- On-board memory card storage up to 512GB
- IP67 metal housing; white and black variants
- 12V DC or IEEE 802.3at PoE+ power
Human and Vehicle Detection with AcuSense
AcuSense uses deep learning to classify human and vehicle targets in supported motion and perimeter events. Filtering alerts by target type helps reduce notifications from unrelated movement. Line crossing, intrusion, region entrance and region exiting rules can be configured for the monitored area. Detection performance depends on camera positioning, lighting, scene conditions and configuration.
40m IR Night Vision
The F1.0 lens and 1/1.8-inch sensor support low-light imaging. Infrared illumination reaches up to 40m for black-and-white footage in darkness. The white strobe is an alarm warning light; this model does not provide Smart Hybrid Light switching or ColorVu continuous colour illumination. Actual usable detail at night depends on the scene and installation.
White Strobe and Audible Warning
Configure supported events to trigger the white flashing light and built-in speaker. Warning schedules and detection areas should match the property so alarms respond to relevant activity. The /SL version uses a white warning light; red and blue warning lights belong to the separate /SRB model.
Two-Way Audio
Two built-in microphones capture audio, while the built-in speaker supports two-way communication and audible warnings. The speaker is rated at up to 2W, with a maximum sound pressure level of 110 dB measured at 10cm. Two-way talk depends on compatible software and system configuration.
4K Detail and 120 dB WDR
Record at up to 3840 × 2160 pixels, with up to 25fps at full resolution in 50Hz mode. The 120 dB wide dynamic range helps balance bright and shaded parts of an image, such as entrances facing daylight. H.265+ compression helps manage storage and bandwidth when used with compatible equipment.
Recording and Remote Access
Use a compatible Hikvision network video recorder for central recording, or fit a microSD, microSDHC or microSDXC card up to 512GB for on-board storage. Storage media are sold separately. Hik-Connect supports remote viewing and supported event notifications once the camera or recording system is configured with internet access. Recording duration depends on capacity, bitrate and recording settings.
Outdoor Installation and Power
The metal housing has IP67 water and dust resistance. Use suitable mounting hardware and protect cable connections during installation. Power is supplied by 12V DC or IEEE 802.3at Class 4 PoE+, with maximum consumption of 15W on DC or 18W on PoE+. Confirm each NVR or switch port supports PoE+ and that the total power budget is sufficient. IP67 does not indicate a specialist corrosion-resistant housing.

Choosing the Right Camera Position
The 2.8mm lens provides a 105° horizontal view for entrances, driveways, shopfronts and property boundaries. A wide view covers more of the scene, but identifying a person or reading fine detail requires suitable distance and camera placement.
