AUD $299.00 inc GST
Most cameras record the break-in. The Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2H-IS2U/SL 8MP AcuSense turret interrupts it — flashing its strobe and sounding an audible warning the moment a person or vehicle crosses your line, then letting you speak to them live through a built-in speaker, all in genuine 4K detail.
🚨 Strobe Light & Audio Alarm — flashing white light and an audible warning trigger the moment a person or vehicle crosses your line, so most intruders leave before touching anything
🗣️ Two-Way Audio — twin built-in microphones and a speaker let you hear what’s happening and talk down a visitor or intruder live from the Hik-Connect app
🧠 AcuSense Human & Vehicle Detection — deep-learning classification runs on the camera itself, so alerts fire on people and vehicles rather than pets, branches or rain
📷 8MP 4K Resolution — faces, clothing and number plates stay readable when you zoom into recorded footage, with 3840 × 2160 detail well beyond standard HD
🌙 Ultra Low Light — colour down to 0.0008 lux through the F1.0 lens, with Smart Supplement Light IR to 30 m for clear identification in total darkness
☀️ 120 dB Wide Dynamic Range — doorways, driveways and glare off glass stay balanced, keeping faces readable against bright backlight
💾 MicroSD Slot — up to 512GB — keep recording on the camera even if the network or recorder drops out. MicroSD card not included.
📡 PoE+ Powered — one Cat6 cable carries power, video and audio from any PoE+ (802.3at) port, pairing cleanly with Hikvision PoE NVRs for a fast, tidy install
🌧️ IP67 Weatherproof — all-metal housing sealed against dust and heavy rain, built for exposed eaves, carports and shopfronts in Australian conditions
🏆 Manufacturer Warranty — supplied as Authorised Australian Product with full local warranty support.

Most cameras tell you what happened. The Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2H-IS2U/SL 8MP AcuSense turret is built to change what happens: the moment AcuSense classifies a person or vehicle where they should not be, the camera flashes its strobe light and sounds an audible warning — and most intruders leave the moment they know they have been seen.
It does all of this in genuine 4K. Where the recorded footage from an ordinary camera runs out of detail as you zoom, the Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2H-IS2U/SL 8MP AcuSense turret keeps faces, clothing and number plates readable — the difference between knowing someone was there and being able to prove who it was.
Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2H-IS2U/SL 8MP AcuSense Turret — Sharp 4K Detail, Day and Night
The 8MP sensor records at 3840 × 2160 through a fast F1.0 lens on a large 1/1.8″ chip — the combination that matters after dark. Colour holds down to 0.0008 lux, so driveways and yards stay in full colour under nothing more than ambient street light, and Smart Supplement Light IR reaches 30 m for the nights with no light at all. Through the day, 120 dB WDR keeps faces readable against glare off glass, bright doorways and low western sun.
Strobe Light and Audio Alarm — Warn Intruders Off Before They Touch Anything
This is what the Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2H-IS2U/SL 8MP AcuSense turret is really for. When a classified target crosses a line or enters a region you have armed, the built-in strobe flashes and the speaker sounds an audible warning on the spot — no monitoring contract, no delay, no human in the loop. You choose where and when it arms, and an alarm output is there if you want to drive an external siren or light as well.
Human and Vehicle Detection — Alerts on People and Vehicles Only
AcuSense deep-learning classification runs on the Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2H-IS2U/SL 8MP AcuSense turret itself, so line crossing, intrusion and region entry events fire on people and vehicles rather than pets, branches, headlights or rain. A push alert on your phone means something worth opening — and searching footage by human or vehicle target takes seconds instead of an evening of scrubbing.
Two-Way Audio and Single-Cable PoE Install — Talk Down From Your Phone
Twin built-in microphones record synced audio while the speaker lets you talk back live through the Hik-Connect app — greet a courier, direct a visitor, or make it clear to a stranger that they are being watched right now. Installing the Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2H-IS2U/SL 8MP AcuSense turret is one Cat6 run: PoE+ (802.3at) carries power, video and audio from any compatible port, pairing cleanly with Hikvision PoE NVRs for a plug-and-play channel.
Where the Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2H-IS2U/SL 8MP AcuSense Turret Earns Its Place
🏡 Homes — the driveway, front approach and side gate, where a warning at the boundary beats footage of a break-in
🏢 Business — shopfronts, yards and loading docks that need after-hours deterrence and a spoken challenge, not just a recording
🔧 Installers — one cable, on-camera AI and 4K evidence quality: an easy step-up to quote wherever deterrence is the brief

Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2H-IS2U/SL vs Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2H-IU — Deterrence or Recording Only?
| Feature | DS-2CD2386G2H-IS2U/SL (this product) | DS-2CD2386G2H-IU |
|---|---|---|
| Strobe light + audio alarm deterrence | ✓ Built in, event-triggered | Recording focused |
| Two-way audio (speaker + mics) | ✓ Talk back from the app | Built-in microphone (audio recording) |
| Alarm in/out for external siren or light | ✓ 1 in / 1 out | Camera-only design |
| 8MP 4K AcuSense human & vehicle detection | ✓ | ✓ |
| IR 30m, WDR, IP67 metal housing | ✓ | ✓ |
| Best suited to | Boundaries and approaches where warning intruders off matters | Positions where quiet 4K recording is the whole job |
A practical mix works well: put the Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2H-IS2U/SL 8MP AcuSense turret on the driveway, front approach and gates — the positions where the strobe and audible warning stop trouble at the boundary — and use the DS-2CD2386G2H-IU (black) for patios, walkways and internal areas that just need quiet 4K recording. Both cameras run side by side on the same Hikvision NVR.
Q: Can I actually speak through this camera?
A: Yes. The Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2H-IS2U/SL 8MP AcuSense turret has a built-in speaker and two microphones, so from the Hik-Connect app you can hear the scene and talk back live — to a courier, a visitor or someone who should not be there.
Q: Does it record in colour at night?
A: In most suburban lighting, yes — the F1.0 lens and 1/1.8″ sensor hold colour down to 0.0008 lux. In total darkness the camera switches to IR with a 30 m range for clear black-and-white identification footage.
Q: Will it work with my existing Hikvision NVR, and does PoE+ matter?
A: The Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2H-IS2U/SL 8MP AcuSense turret pairs plug-and-play with Hikvision PoE NVRs. The strobe, speaker and IR draw more than a standard camera, so power it from a PoE+ (802.3at) port — Hikvision’s current PoE NVRs supply this — or a 12 VDC feed, and it starts recording automatically.
Build a Complete Hikvision System
The Hikvision AcuSense range pairs directly with the Hikvision NVR range for plug-and-play installation, alongside the rest of the Hikvision IP camera range so you can mix camera types to suit each position. Run Cat6 unshielded cable from each PoE port to each camera. Add brackets and junction boxes for a clean, cable-hidden mount on every camera.
The Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2H-IS2U/SL 8MP AcuSense turret is part of the Hikvision AcuSense series at Comms Direct — the active-deterrence 4K member of the turret family, alongside its 6MP siblings and the DS-2CD2386G2H-IU recording-focused pair — supplied as Authorised Australian Product, covered by manufacturer warranty. Ships fast from Australian warehouses. Ready for a camera that warns them off instead of just watching?
