AUD $308.00 inc GST
A prowler expects a dark, silent camera. This Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2H-IS2U/SL 8MP AcuSense turret answers with a strobe flash, a warning sound and, if you choose, a few words from you via your phone — then holds a 4K picture of who stood there, with the most detail on whoever comes close to the camera.
🚨 Warn a Prowler Off With Light and Sound — the built-in strobe light flashes and the speaker plays an audio alarm when a classified person or vehicle breaks a rule you have armed, or the moment you press the button in the app
🗣️ Talk to a Courier or a Stranger Live — a speaker and two built-in microphones give two-way talk on your phone via Hik-Connect, so you can point a delivery to the side door or let a stranger know the yard is watched
🧠 Human and Vehicle Detection You Arm by Zone — AcuSense deep learning classifies people and vehicles among moving targets, and alerts from line-crossing or intrusion rules can be filtered to those two
📷 Detail That Holds Up When You Zoom — 3840 × 2160 frames let you enlarge a clip of someone close to the camera, such as a visitor or a car pulled up near the lens
🌙 A Dim Street Still Shown in Colour — the F1.0 lens and 1/1.8″ sensor keep colour down to 0.0008 lux, switching to Smart Supplement Light IR out to 30 m once the street goes dark
☀️ Backlit Visitors Still Recognisable — 120 dB WDR balances bright sunlight behind someone standing in shade
💾 MicroSD Slot — up to 512GB — a card inside the turret holds a local copy while the recorder or network is down. MicroSD card not included.
📡 Installs on a Single Network Cable — a PoE+ (802.3at) port on a Hikvision NVR or switch delivers power, picture and sound, so this PoE camera needs no power point at the eave
🌧️ Shrugs Off Driving Rain and Dust — its metal housing is rated IP67 against dust and water
🏆 Authorised Australian Product — genuine Hikvision stock covered by manufacturer warranty, dispatched from our Sydney and Melbourne warehouses

a strobe flash and a warning sound triggered by the rules you arm · your voice through its speaker from the Hik-Connect app · 4K detail to enlarge a caller close to the camera afterwards · colour in dim street light, infrared to 30 m after that · a single Cat6 run back to the recorder
Someone casing a driveway at night is usually weighing up whether the house is watched. This Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2H-IS2U/SL 8MP AcuSense turret settles it for them: once its deep-learning analytics identify a human or vehicle target inside a zone you have armed, the strobe light flashes and a warning sound plays from the camera.
What it records afterwards is worth keeping too. As an 8MP security camera, this Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2H-IS2U/SL 8MP AcuSense turret captures 3840 × 2160 frames, so a clip of someone close to the camera can be enlarged for a better look at them and at the car they arrived in — the kind of footage you hand over with a police report.
Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2H-IS2U/SL 8MP AcuSense Turret — Detail in Daylight, Glare and Low Light
An F1.0 aperture and a large 1/1.8″ sensor are why this Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2H-IS2U/SL 8MP AcuSense turret still records a scene lit only by a street lamp in colour, down to 0.0008 lux. When the street goes properly dark, Smart Supplement Light IR takes over and shows the scene in monochrome out to 30 m. In the middle of the day, 120 dB WDR stops bright sunlight from turning a visitor in shade into a silhouette.
Strobe Light and Audio Alarm — A Warning at the Boundary You Draw
You draw the lines and zones for this Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2H-IS2U/SL 8MP AcuSense turret in the app or on your recorder. When a classified person or vehicle trips one while the schedule is armed, the light and the warning start at once, with no call centre involved. Either can also be fired by hand from the app, and the alarm output can switch an external device wired to it.
Human and Vehicle Detection — Choose Which Targets Trigger It
Human and vehicle detection is processed on board this Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2H-IS2U/SL 8MP AcuSense turret. Among the moving targets in view, AcuSense deep learning classifies people and vehicles, and the line crossing, intrusion, region entry and region exit rules can be filtered to those two classes, so you decide which targets set off a phone notification or the strobe.
Two-Way Audio and a Single-Cable Install — Your Voice From the App and One Cable to Run
The speaker and two microphones open a live conversation through the Hik-Connect app: ask a courier to leave the parcel behind the side gate, or tell a stranger by the car that they are on camera. Wiring this Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2H-IS2U/SL 8MP AcuSense turret takes a single Cat6 run back to a PoE+ (802.3at) port on a Hikvision NVR or switch, which supplies power, picture and sound together; a 12 VDC supply suits a site with no PoE.
Where the Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2H-IS2U/SL 8MP AcuSense Turret Earns Its Place
🏡 Driveways and side gates — the strobe and warning sound meet a stranger after dark, and you can speak to them from the couch or from work
🏢 Shopfronts and trade yards — a strobe flash and warning tone after closing time, with 4K detail of whoever came by
🔧 Installers adding one deterrence camera — a single Cat6 run, rules set on the client’s Hikvision NVR, and a strobe you can demonstrate at handover

Frequently Asked Questions — Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2H-IS2U/SL
Q: Which events trigger the strobe light and warning sound on this Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2H-IS2U/SL 8MP AcuSense turret?
A: The rules you arm. A line-crossing, intrusion or region entry/exit event can trigger the strobe and the audible warning once AcuSense has classified the target as a person or vehicle, on the schedule you set; both can also be switched on by hand from the Hik-Connect app.
Q: Can I see and speak to a visitor at night through this Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2H-IS2U/SL 8MP AcuSense turret?
A: Through the Hik-Connect app you get live view plus two-way talk through its speaker and twin microphones. After dark the picture stays in colour while there is some street or porch light, down to 0.0008 lux, and switches to infrared out to 30 m when there is none.
Q: What does this Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2H-IS2U/SL 8MP AcuSense turret need from my recorder, and does it take a memory card?
A: Power and video come from a PoE+ (802.3at) port on a Hikvision NVR or switch, or from a 12 VDC supply; the strobe and speaker draw more than a plain turret, which is why PoE+ matters. A microSD card up to 512 GB keeps a local backup in the camera. MicroSD card not included. The IP67 metal housing is rated for outdoor mounting in rain and dust.
Build a Complete Hikvision System Around It
Pair this Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2H-IS2U/SL 8MP AcuSense turret with a recorder out of the Hikvision NVR range to run the deterrence rules and keep 4K footage on site, and mix in another model or two where a spot needs a different lens or housing — the Hikvision IP camera range has them. Each camera takes one run of Cat6 unshielded cable back to a PoE port, and matching brackets and junction boxes hide the cable joint at the wall.
With its strobe, speaker and two microphones, this Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2H-IS2U/SL 8MP AcuSense turret camera is part of the AcuSense series from Hikvision at Comms Direct, sitting beside its 6MP strobe siblings and the quieter DS-2CD2386G2H-IU. It reaches you as genuine Australian stock, backed by the manufacturer’s warranty, from our warehouses in Sydney and Melbourne. Put light, sound and your voice between the driveway and whoever comes up it.
