Frequently Asked Questions
The DS-2CD2386G2-I provides a maximum resolution of 3840 × 2160, which equals 8 megapixels (4K). This high resolution allows for very fine image detail, making it easier to identify faces, vehicles, and important objects. The camera also supports multiple lower resolutions for flexible streaming and recording. This is especially useful when balancing image quality with bandwidth or storage requirements.
Powered-by-DarkFighter technology enables the camera to deliver clear images in low-light environments. The camera can capture color images down to 0.003 lux and switches to black-and-white with IR illumination at 0 lux. This ensures reliable visibility even in near-total darkness. The built-in IR illumination supports night monitoring at distances of up to 30 meters.
Yes, the DS-2CD2386G2-I uses AcuSense technology powered by deep learning. This allows the camera to classify targets as human or vehicle during motion detection and perimeter events. By focusing on these targets, it significantly reduces false alarms caused by animals, shadows, or environmental motion. This improves alarm accuracy and overall system efficiency.
The camera is available with fixed focal lens options of 2.8 mm, 4 mm, or 6 mm. Each lens provides a different field of view, ranging from wide-area coverage to more focused, longer-distance monitoring. This flexibility allows installers to select the lens best suited to the surveillance scene. All lens options use a fixed F1.6 aperture.
The DS-2CD2386G2-I features 120 dB true Wide Dynamic Range (WDR). This technology balances bright and dark areas within the same scene to preserve image detail. It is especially useful in environments with strong backlighting, such as entrances or areas with direct sunlight. As a result, subjects remain visible without being silhouetted or washed out.
The “-U” version of this camera includes a built-in microphone for real-time audio monitoring. It supports multiple audio compression formats such as G.711, G.722.1, G.726, MP3, and AAC-LC. Audio sampling rates range from 8 kHz up to 48 kHz. This allows synchronized audio and video recording where permitted by local regulations.
The camera supports H.265+, H.265, H.264+, and H.264 video compression. These formats help reduce bandwidth usage and storage consumption while maintaining image quality. The main stream supports advanced compression for efficiency, while sub-streams can use MJPEG when required. This flexibility makes the camera suitable for various network environments.
Yes, the camera is rated IP67 for water and dust resistance. Its metal housing is designed to withstand harsh outdoor conditions such as rain, dust, and temperature extremes. The camera operates in temperatures ranging from -30 °C to 60 °C. This makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor surveillance applications.
