Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2H-IS2U/SL — 8MP 4K AcuSense Live-Guard Turret with Smart Hybrid Light, Strobe & Two-Way Audio

Hikvision 8MP 4K · AcuSense · Live Guard · Smart Hybrid Light

The Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2H-IS2U/SL is a premium 8 MP / 4K network turret camera designed for proactive protection rather than passive recording. As part of the EasyIP 4.0 range, it carries Live Guard active deterrence — an integrated white strobe light and audio siren that fire the instant a threat is identified, turning intruders away before they get near the door. AcuSense deep learning zeroes in on human and vehicle targets so alerts stay accurate and actionable. Smart Hybrid Light pairs IR and white light up to 30 m for either covert or full-colour night imaging, and two-way audio through the built-in mic and speaker supports live talk-back plus custom voice warnings. The IP67-rated housing comes in Classic White or Midnight Black, with a 2.8 mm or 4 mm lens option. Covered by a 3-year Australian warranty.

4K Clarity with Active Deterrence

Live Guard Strobe + Siren

Live Guard transforms this 4K camera from a recorder into an active deterrent. The moment AcuSense identifies a person or vehicle, the built-in white strobe light and audio siren go off automatically — sending intruders on their way before they reach the door.

AcuSense Human & Vehicle AI

AcuSense deep-learning algorithms sort targets into humans and vehicles, slashing false alarms from animals, moving foliage and rain — so deterrents and notifications only trigger on genuine threats.

Smart Hybrid Light + Two-Way Audio

Smart Hybrid Light combines IR and white light with up to 30 m of reach, giving you the choice of covert or full-colour night imaging, while the built-in mic and speaker deliver two-way audio for live talk-back and custom voice warnings through Hik-Connect.

4K Evidence Detail, White or Black

Sharp 8 MP / 4K imaging at 25 fps provides outstanding evidence quality and plenty of digital-zoom headroom. The IP67 turret ships in Classic White or Midnight Black, with a 2.8 mm or 4 mm lens to match the scene.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Live Guard do?
When AcuSense picks up a human or vehicle, Live Guard automatically sets off a white strobe light and an audio siren to actively warn intruders off — converting a passive recorder into a real-time deterrent.

Which lens should I choose?
Go with 2.8 mm (105°) for ultra-wide coverage of smaller spaces and close-range perimeters, or 4 mm (90°) to concentrate on a particular path or driveway with a little more detail at distance.

Does it do colour at night?
Yes. Smart Hybrid Light provides an IR mode for covert recording and a white-light mode for full-colour night imaging, each effective up to 30 m, so the lighting can be tuned per install.

Can I talk through the camera?
Yes — the built-in mic and speaker enable two-way audio via Hik-Connect for live talk-back, and custom recorded voice warnings can be played as well.
