Extra Info
Smarter Detection, Fewer False Alarms
Using advanced AcuSense deep learning technology, the DS-2CD2366G2-I(U) can intelligently differentiate between human movement, vehicle movement, and irrelevant motion such as animals, falling leaves, or shifting light. This minimizes unnecessary alerts, allowing security personnel to focus their attention on genuine security incidents for faster and more efficient response.
Always Ready, Day or Night
Equipped with Hikvision’s Powered-by-DarkFighter low-light technology, the camera captures bright, vivid, and detailed images even in near-dark conditions. When light levels drop further, Smart IR illumination automatically activates, extending clear night vision coverage up to 30 meters. This ensures round-the-clock monitoring without sacrificing image quality.
Audio for Added Context
The “-U” variant of this model comes with a built-in, high-sensitivity microphone capable of recording ambient sound alongside video footage. This adds an extra layer of context to recorded events, which can be critical for investigations and evidence gathering.
Flexible Installation
Designed for versatility, the DS-2CD2366G2-I(U) features 3-axis adjustment—Pan: 0°–360°, Tilt: 0°–75°, Rotate: 0°–360°—allowing installers to easily achieve the perfect viewing angle for a wide variety of mounting locations. Whether it’s on a wall, ceiling, or custom mount, the camera adapts seamlessly to different setups.
