Hikvision DS-2CD2T86G2H-4I 8MP AcuSense Bullet with 80m IR

Hikvision DS-2CD2T86G2H-4I — 8 MP (4K) AcuSense bullet with 80 m IR

The DS-2CD2T86G2H-4I is the long-range version of Hikvision's 8 MP G2H bullet: the same 1/1.8" 4K sensor and AcuSense analytics as the 2I, fitted with a bigger infrared array reaching 80 m instead of 60 m, and a 4 mm lens rather than 2.8 mm. It is the camera in this family aimed at driveways, yard perimeters, car parks and approach roads rather than at doorways.

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 4 mm lens and the 80 m IR work together

These two changes are not independent, and that is the point of this variant. The 4 mm lens narrows the view to 90° horizontal but pushes the DORI figures out to detect 109 m, observe 43 m, recognise 21 m, identify 10 m — against 89 m and 8 m on the 2.8 mm version. The 80 m illuminator then covers most of that extended detection range after dark.

Compare that with the 2.8 mm 2I, where the optics detect to 89 m but the IR only reaches 60 m. On this model the lens and the illuminator are far better matched, which is why it is worth the extra outlay for any genuinely long view. If the scene is close and wide, the 2.8 mm 2I remains the sensible choice and the wider field of view will serve you better.

Still on standard 802.3af

Despite the larger IR array, this camera runs on 802.3af Class 3 at max. 12.5 W. It does not need the 802.3at ports that the strobe-and-siren IS2U/SL models demand, so it drops into existing af infrastructure without a switch upgrade.

What it does not have

Like the rest of the 2I/4I family, this camera has no microphone, no speaker and no audio or alarm terminal block. Ethernet port, microSD slot and reset key are the only physical interfaces. For two-way audio, an on-camera siren or wiring in detectors, look at the ISU, IS2U or IS2U/SL models instead.

Imaging

• 1/1.8" progressive scan CMOS, 3840 × 2160 at 25 fps (50 Hz)
• F1.0 aperture, 0.0008 lux in colour, 0 lux with IR on
• 120 dB WDR for gateways, loading bays and forecourts shot into strong backlight
• 80 m Smart Supplement Light IR at 850 nm, which throttles back rather than burning out a close subject
• BLC, HLC and 3D DNR; 4 programmable polygon privacy masks
• 4 mm fixed lens on an M16 mount, depth of field from 3.8 m

Recording, storage and network

• H.265+/H.265/H.264+/H.264, 32 Kbps to 16 Mbps
• microSD/SDHC/SDXC to 512 GB, plus NAS (NFS, SMB/CIFS) and ANR to backfill footage recorded during a network outage
• ONVIF Profile S/T/G, ISAPI, SDK and ISUP; iVMS-4200, Hik-Connect and HikCentral; up to 6 simultaneous live view channels
• The Ethernet port is 10/100, not gigabit — comfortable at a 16 Mbps ceiling, but worth knowing on a 4K camera at design stage

Build and environment

• Metal front cover, metal body and metal bracket; IP67 to IEC 60529-2013
• −30 °C to 60 °C, humidity 95% or less non-condensing
• 286.7 mm × 93.3 mm × 91.2 mm, approx. 1,180 g

What you'll need with it

• An 802.3af (or better) PoE switch or NVR port, or a 12 VDC supply
• 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
• A pole or corner bracket if it is not mounting flat to a wall
• Storage sized for 4K at up to 16 Mbps per camera

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from the DS-2CD2T86G2H-2I?

Same sensor and same analytics. This one has 80 m IR instead of 60 m, and this SKU carries the 4 mm lens rather than 2.8 mm, so it sees further over a narrower field.

Does this camera have a microphone?

No — the 4I has no audio hardware at all.

Will it run on an 802.3af switch?

Yes, 802.3af Class 3 at max. 12.5 W.

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.
