Hikvision DS-2CD2H86G2H-IZSY 8MP AcuSense Motorised Varifocal Turret

Hikvision DS-2CD2H86G2H-IZSY — 8 MP (4K) AcuSense motorised varifocal turret

The DS-2CD2H86G2H-IZSY pairs a 1/1.8" 4K sensor with a motorised 2.8–12 mm varifocal lens in an IP67, IK10, NEMA 4X metal housing. Focal length and focus are set remotely from the browser or client software after mounting, so the view can be framed — and reframed later — without returning to the camera.

AcuSense deep-learning classification separates people and vehicles from foliage, rain, shadows and animals, so line crossing, intrusion, region entrance and region exiting trigger only on real targets. Face capture is supported.

The reach figures are the reason to buy this camera

Zoomed wide it behaves like a standard 4K turret: detect 89.2 m, observe 35.4 m, recognise 17.8 m, identify 8.9 m. Zoomed to tele it becomes something else entirely — detect 220 m, observe 87.3 m, recognise 44 m, identify 22 m. That tele identification distance is more than double what the 4 MP DS-2CD2H46G2H-IZSY manages (18.1 m) and roughly two and a half times any fixed-lens camera in this family. For long driveways, yard perimeters, car parks and approach roads this is the camera in the G2H range that actually reaches.

Be realistic about the night limit, though: the IR range is 40 m. Those 220 m and 22 m tele figures are daylight or lit-scene figures. In genuine darkness beyond 40 m you need ambient or supplementary lighting for the optics to be worth anything.

One specification that differs from the 4 MP version

The maximum aperture here is F1.2, where the 4 MP DS-2CD2H46G2H-IZSY is F1.0. The larger 1/1.8" sensor more than compensates — minimum illumination is 0.0008 lux against the 4 MP model's 0.001 lux — but it is worth knowing that the two are not simply the same optics at different resolutions. This model also has a wider view at the short end (112.3° against 105.4°) and a 16 Mbps bit rate ceiling against 8 Mbps, so plan roughly double the storage per camera.

Built for places where cameras get attacked

Metal base and metal cover rated IP67, IK10 and NEMA 4X. IK10 is the top impact class in IEC 62262 — the rating to specify for ground-floor entrances, custody areas, school corridors, licensed premises and anywhere the camera sits within reach.

Imaging

• 1/1.8" progressive scan CMOS, 3840 × 2160 at 25 fps (50 Hz)
• Max. F1.2 aperture, 0.0008 lux in colour, 0 lux with IR on
• 120 dB WDR for entrances and lobbies shot into strong backlight
• 40 m Smart Supplement Light IR at 850 nm
• Depth of field from 1 m; BLC, HLC and 3D DNR; 4 programmable polygon privacy masks

Audio, alarm and storage

• No built-in microphone. The camera has 1 audio input (line in) and 1 audio output (line out) on a two-core terminal block, so audio requires an external microphone.
• 1 alarm in, 1 alarm out (max. 24 VDC/24 VAC, 1 A)
• microSD/SDHC/SDXC to 512 GB, plus NAS (NFS, SMB/CIFS) and ANR to backfill footage recorded during a network outage
• H.265+/H.265/H.264+/H.264, 32 Kbps to 16 Mbps
• ONVIF Profile S/T/G, ISAPI, SDK and ISUP; iVMS-4200, Hik-Connect and HikCentral
• The Ethernet port is 10/100, not gigabit — comfortable at 16 Mbps, but worth noting on a 4K camera

Power and mounting

• PoE IEEE 802.3af Class 3, max. 12.95 W — a standard af port runs it, motorised lens and all
• Or 12 VDC ± 25%, 0.9 A, max. 10.8 W. The DC connection is a two-core terminal block, not a barrel jack.
• Ø143.5 mm × 142.7 mm, approx. 1,230 g
• −30 °C to 60 °C, humidity 95% or less non-condensing

What you'll need with it

• An 802.3af (or better) PoE switch or NVR port, or a 12 VDC supply terminated to bare conductors
• An AcuSense-capable Hikvision NVR to carry human/vehicle classification through to smart search on the recorder
• A microSD card for edge recording or ANR backfill — not supplied
• An external microphone if audio is required
• Supplementary lighting if you intend to use the tele end at night beyond 40 m
• Storage sized for 4K at up to 16 Mbps

Frequently asked questions

How far can this camera identify someone?

Up to about 22 m at the tele end of the zoom, or 8.9 m at the wide end, per Hikvision's published DORI figures. Both assume adequate light — the infrared reaches 40 m.

Is the zoom adjusted remotely?

Yes. The lens is motorised, so focal length and focus are set from the web interface or client software.

Does it have a microphone built in?

No — line-in only, for an external microphone.

Will it work on a third-party NVR?

It supports ONVIF Profile S, T and G, so it will record on most ONVIF recorders. AcuSense classification is best supported on Hikvision recorders.
