The DS-2CD2386G2-ISU/SL is an 8MP AcuSense fixed turret network camera designed for commercial locations that require detailed 4K video, human and vehicle classification, active warning functions, and two-way audio.
Its 2.8 mm fixed lens provides a 111° horizontal field of view for broad coverage of entrances, loading areas, walkways, parking access points, and building approaches. AcuSense helps supported motion and perimeter events focus on people and vehicles.
Powered-by-DarkFighter technology supports low-light image performance, while Smart IR provides nighttime visibility up to 30 meters. The camera also uses 120 dB WDR to help preserve detail in scenes with strong backlight.
Built-in warning and communication features include a strobe light, audible warning, microphone, speaker, Audio I/O, and Alarm I/O. The camera also supports microSD storage up to 512 GB, IEEE 802.3af PoE, ONVIF Profile S/G/T integration, and IP67 weather protection.

Find answers to common questions about compatibility, installation, infrared night vision, recording storage, and AcuSense human and vehicle classification.
Where is the DS-2CD2386G2-ISU/SL commonly installed?
This camera is commonly installed at warehouse loading docks, commercial entrances, retail exteriors, parking access points, distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, and apartment community entrances.
Is this camera suitable for warehouse loading docks?
Yes. Its 8MP imaging, 2.8 mm wide-angle lens, human and vehicle classification, two-way audio, and active warning functions make it suitable for monitoring loading docks, delivery zones, and shipping entrances.
Can this camera be used at office and retail entrances?
Yes. The 111° horizontal field of view supports broad coverage of office entrances, storefronts, customer pickup areas, exterior walkways, and nearby access points.
Is it suitable for parking and apartment access areas?
Yes. It can monitor parking entrances, vehicle access points, apartment community gates, pedestrian approaches, and other areas that benefit from wide coverage and event-triggered warnings.
What coverage does the 2.8 mm lens provide?
The 2.8 mm fixed lens provides a 111° horizontal field of view, a 59° vertical field of view, and a 131° diagonal field of view for broad area monitoring.
How do the active warning functions work?
Supported events can trigger the built-in strobe light, audible warning, recording, image capture, alarm output, or notifications. Available linkage options depend on the connected system and configuration.
What is the benefit of AcuSense classification?
AcuSense helps supported motion and perimeter events focus on people and vehicles. This can make event review more efficient by reducing attention given to unrelated scene movement.
Does the camera support PoE and NVR integration?
Yes. It supports IEEE 802.3af PoE and can integrate with compatible network video recorders and video management systems through ONVIF Profile S, G, and T, ISAPI, or SDK support.
Does it support local storage and two-way audio?
Yes. The camera supports microSD storage up to 512 GB and includes a built-in microphone and speaker for two-way audio. It also provides one audio input and one audio output.
What are the maximum resolution and infrared range?
The camera records at up to 3840 × 2160 resolution. Its Smart IR illumination supports nighttime monitoring at distances up to 30 meters.
