Frequently asked questions

What does AcuSense do?

It sorts movement into humans and vehicles using deep learning, so alarms focus on those targets rather than every change in the picture.

Does it show colour at night?

No, not in the dark. Its night light is IR, up to 30 m, which gives a black and white image.

How wide is the view?

Horizontal 105°, vertical 55° and diagonal 127° with the 2.8 mm lens.

Will it work with a non-Hikvision recorder?

Usually yes, for live view and recording, if the recorder supports Open Network Video Interface (often shown as ONVIF) Profile S, Profile G or Profile T and can take 6 MP. Check the recorder's own specification.

Can it record without a recorder?

Yes, with a microSD card fitted. The built-in slot takes cards up to 512 GB.

Is it suitable for coastal sites?

It is not rated for them. This model has no specific anti-corrosion protection.

Hikvision DS-2CD2166G2-ISU(2.8mm)(C) dome camera, front view

Hikvision 6MP AcuSense Dome Camera, 2.8mm, IR, Microphone DS-2CD2166G2-ISU(2.8mm)(C)

Overview

This is a 6 MP dome camera from Hikvision's AcuSense range, built to tell people and vehicles apart from other movement. That cuts the alerts caused by leaves, rain or animals, so the ones that arrive are worth checking.

The 2.8 mm lens gives a wide view, which helps cover a broad area close to the camera. The built-in microphone adds sound to the recording where audio is wanted.

How it works

  • AcuSense: deep learning classifies human and vehicle targets, and smart events such as line crossing and intrusion detection can trigger only on them.
  • DarkFighter: gives better low-light performance, with IR taking over in darkness for a black and white picture.
  • H.265+: a compression method that keeps file sizes down, so the same storage holds more recording.

Where to use it

It is rated IP67 against water and dust and IK10 against impact, so it can be fitted outside within reach.

It has no specific anti-corrosion protection, so avoid coastal sites and areas with acid rain.

What the figures mean in practice

  • DORI 76 m / 7 m: with the 2.8 mm lens, a person can be detected at about 76 m and identified at about 7 m. Place it close to where faces need to be seen.
  • 120 dB WDR: balances a bright doorway or window with a darker room, so faces are not lost in silhouette.
  • Up to 30 m IR: the reach of its night lighting, at 850 nm.

Installing it

One network cable carries power and data from a PoE switch or recorder (IEEE 802.3af). A 12 VDC supply can be used instead.

Hikvision's optional DS-1280ZJ-DM46 junction box hides the cable joints behind the camera, and the DS-1272ZJ-120B wall mount brings it off the wall. Choose accessories in the same colour as the camera.

Planning your system

Most jobs record to a network video recorder, powered through a PoE switch or the recorder's own PoE ports. Browse more Hikvision security products for matching kit.
