Grey Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2H-IU Product Overview
The Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2H-IU(2.8mm)(eF) in grey is an 8MP AcuSense Powered-by-DarkFighter fixed turret network camera with a built-in microphone. The exact base model remains DS-2CD2386G2H-IU(2.8mm)(eF); grey describes the housing finish supplied in this listing rather than changing the core Hikvision model code.
Its 1/1.8-inch progressive-scan CMOS sensor records at up to 3840 × 2160. The fixed 2.8mm F1.0 lens provides a 108.8° horizontal field of view, while infrared illumination reaches up to 30 metres. The camera also provides 120dB WDR, human and vehicle classification, face capture, scene-change detection and local memory-card support up to 512GB.
Key Benefits
-
Grey housing finish: suited to installations where a grey camera better matches the surrounding surface.
-
4K 8MP detail: records at up to 3840 × 2160 for detailed live viewing and playback.
-
Wide 2.8mm coverage: the 108.8° horizontal field of view suits entrances, retail areas, offices, yards and general surveillance.
-
DarkFighter low-light imaging: the 1/1.8-inch sensor and F1.0 aperture support useful colour detail where ambient light is limited.
-
30m infrared: provides monochrome monitoring in darkness under manufacturer test conditions.
-
AcuSense classification: supported events can distinguish human and vehicle targets.
-
Built-in microphone: records audio without misleadingly implying speaker playback or two-way audio.
-
IP67 protection: supports correctly installed indoor or outdoor use.

Low-Light Imaging and Detection
Powered-by-DarkFighter imaging and the F1.0 lens support useful colour detail where ambient illumination is limited. When available light is insufficient, the infrared illuminator provides monochrome imaging. Practical results depend on mounting height, scene surfaces, weather, available light and configuration.
AcuSense can classify human and vehicle targets for supported motion, line-crossing, intrusion, region-entry and region-exit events. Face capture and scene-change detection are also available.
Audio, Storage and Compatibility
The built-in microphone records audio. Hikvision does not state a built-in speaker or audio output for this exact IU model, so this listing does not claim two-way audio. The internal slot supports compatible cards up to 512GB; a memory card is normally sold separately.
Confirm NVR 8MP decoding, required frame rate, AcuSense and audio-recording support, PoE capacity, storage-card compatibility, housing colour and mounting accessories before ordering.
