Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2-ISU/SL Product Overview
The Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2-ISU/SL(2.8mm)(C) 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 F1.6 lens provides a wide 111° horizontal field of view.
The `/SL` hardware includes a built-in microphone, a 1.2W speaker, one external 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 256GB.
Key Benefits

-
30m infrared: provides monochrome monitoring in darkness under manufacturer test conditions.
-
AcuSense classification: supported events can distinguish human and vehicle targets.
-
Integrated two-way audio: the built-in microphone and 1.2W speaker support compatible communication.
-
Active deterrence: a white warning strobe and audible warning can be linked to supported events.
-
External integration: line audio and alarm input/output support compatible external equipment.
-
Local recording: compatible memory cards up to 256GB are supported.

Detection and Low-Light Imaging
Powered-by-DarkFighter imaging and 120dB WDR support useful detail in low-light and high-contrast scenes. AcuSense can classify human and vehicle targets for supported motion and perimeter events. Face capture and scene-change detection are also available.
Two-Way Audio and Active Deterrence
The built-in microphone and 1.2W 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 a general long-range white scene illuminator.
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, standard PoE capacity, storage-card support and mounting accessories before ordering. Third-party ONVIF integration does not guarantee access to every Hikvision-specific feature.
