DS-2CD2T86G2H-2I/4I Hikvision Bullet IP Camera
Product Overview
The Hikvision DS-2CD2T86G2H-2I/4I is an 8MP fixed bullet network (IP) camera designed for reliable monitoring in challenging lighting conditions. It uses a 1/1.8″ progressive scan CMOS sensor to deliver up to 3840 × 2160 resolution, with a fixed aperture lens (F1.0) available in 2.8 mm or 4 mm focal length options. For low-light performance, the camera features Powered-by-DarkFighter technology and IR illumination (850 nm), enabling night visibility up to 60 m (2.8 mm / “-2I”) or up to 80 m (4 mm / “-4I”) depending on the model variant.
To help maintain clarity in scenes with strong backlight, the camera includes 120 dB Wide Dynamic Range (WDR). Imaging is compressed efficiently with H.265/H.265+ support, helping reduce bandwidth and storage requirements. For intelligent detection, it focuses on human and vehicle classification using deep learning, supporting perimeter protection features such as line crossing, intrusion, region entrance, and region exiting. Optional face capture support is also listed.
The camera supports H.264/H.265 video formats with configurable main, sub, and third streams (third stream supported under certain settings). Networking supports ONVIF profile S/G/T, ISAPI/SDK, simultaneous live view up to 6 channels, and robust security options including HTTPS and TLS. With IP67-rated weather resistance, metal housing materials, and power options including PoE (IEEE 802.3af), it is suitable for demanding outdoor installations.
