Hikvision DS-2CD2186G2-IMS 8 MP Dome Camera with HDMI

Direct 4K HDMI viewing

The biggest difference between the DS-2CD2186G2-IMS and standard network cameras is the integrated HDMI output.

The camera can be connected directly to a monitor or TV via HDMI and deliver a live image without the need for an NVR or computer. At the same time, the camera continues to function as a complete IP camera with streaming, recording, and remote access over the network.

This makes it an ideal solution for, among other things:

• Reception areas
• Gate security and access control
• Control rooms
• Production lines
• Warehouses and logistics
• Industrial surveillance
• Live viewing on information screens

The HDMI output supports resolutions up to 1080p at 60 frames per second and provides stable local video viewing with very low latency.

8 MP image quality

With a resolution of up to 3840 × 2160, the camera delivers sharp images with a high level of detail.

The large 1/1.8" CMOS sensor combined with F1.6 optics provides excellent image quality both day and night, while Smart IR ensures clear recordings in the dark at distances of up to 30 meters.

130 dB True WDR

The camera is equipped with 130 dB True Wide Dynamic Range, which effectively handles strong differences in lighting.

This delivers clear images in areas such as entrances, gates, windows, and other locations with backlight.

AcuSense reduces false alarms

The built-in AcuSense technology uses deep learning to classify people and vehicles.

This reduces the number of unnecessary alarms triggered by, for example, animals, rain, leaves, or other irrelevant motion, making surveillance more efficient.

The camera supports, among other things:

• Line crossing
• Intrusion
• Area entry
• Area exit

Face detection

The DS-2CD2186G2-IMS supports face detection, which can be used together with compatible Hikvision solutions for detection and analysis.

This makes the camera suitable for installations where face-based analysis is part of the overall security solution.

Fixed 2.8 mm lens

The camera comes with a fixed 2.8 mm wide-angle lens with a horizontal field of view of 108°.

This makes the model well suited for monitoring entrances, reception areas, shops, offices, and other places where a wide overview is desired.

Smart IR up to 30 meters

The integrated IR illumination provides effective monitoring in the dark at distances of up to 30 meters.

Smart IR automatically adjusts the brightness so people close to the camera are not overexposed, while details farther away still remain clearly visible.

Efficient video compression

The camera supports H.265+, which reduces bandwidth and storage use compared with traditional compression methods.

This provides longer recording time on hard drives and more efficient use of the network.

Audio and alarm integration

The DS-2CD2186G2-IMS supports both audio input, audio output, and alarm input and alarm output.

This makes the camera easy to integrate with speakers, microphones, sensors, or other external security devices.

Local storage

The built-in microSD slot supports memory cards of up to 512 GB.

The camera also supports NAS storage and ANR (Automatic Network Replenishment), which automatically synchronizes recordings after temporary network outages.

Robust metal construction

The camera is made with a sturdy metal housing and is IK10 certified, providing high resistance to vandalism and mechanical impact.

The model has no special corrosion protection and is therefore not recommended for environments with heavy salt air or chemical exposure, such as harbors, coastal installations, or chemical plants.

Accessories

Under the accessories tab, you will find compatible wall mounts, ceiling mounts, junction boxes, corner mounts, and pole mounts for the DS-2CD2186G2-IMS.
