Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2H-IS2U/SL Product Overview
The Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2H-IS2U/SL(2.8mm)(eF) is an 8MP AcuSense Powered-by-DarkFighter fixed turret network camera with integrated two-way audio and active deterrence. Its 1/1.8-inch progressive-scan CMOS sensor records at up to 3840 × 2160, while the fixed 2.8mm F1.0 lens provides a wide 105° horizontal field of view.
The `/SL` hardware includes two built-in microphones, a 2W speaker, one line audio input and output, one alarm input and output, a white warning strobe and audible-warning capability. Infrared illumination reaches up to 30 metres. The camera also provides 120dB WDR, human and vehicle classification, face capture and local memory-card support up to 512GB.
Key Benefits

Low-Light Imaging and Detection
Powered-by-DarkFighter imaging and the F1.0 lens support useful colour detail under limited illumination. AcuSense can classify human and vehicle targets for compatible motion and perimeter events. Face capture and scene-change detection are also available.
Two-Way Audio and Active Deterrence
The two built-in microphones and 2W speaker support compatible two-way communication. The white warning strobe and audible warning can be linked to supported events. The strobe is a warning device and must not be presented as general long-range white scene illumination.
External line audio and alarm interfaces are provided for compatible equipment. Event linkage, warning volume and specialised controls can depend on firmware, recorder and management software.
Installation and Compatibility
Confirm NVR 8MP decoding, required frame rate, AcuSense, two-way audio, alarm and deterrence controls, PoE+ capacity, storage-card support and mounting accessories before ordering. Third-party ONVIF integration does not guarantee access to every Hikvision-specific feature.
