Advanced Camera Features
8MP 4K Ultra HD Video Resolution
The Hikvision DS-2CD2183G2-IU captures video at a maximum resolution of 3840 × 2160 pixels, providing detailed surveillance footage for homes, businesses and commercial facilities.
At full 8MP resolution, the camera supports up to 20fps.
At supported lower resolutions, it can record up to 30fps in 60Hz mode.
This makes it suitable for security monitoring applications where high image detail is important.
AcuSense Human and Vehicle Classification
Hikvision AcuSense technology uses deep-learning algorithms to help classify human and vehicle targets.
Supported intelligent functions include:
- Human detection
- Vehicle detection
- Line crossing detection
- Intrusion detection
- Motion detection with target classification
These functions help reduce unwanted alerts caused by irrelevant movement.
Built-In Microphone for Audio Recording
The DS-2CD2183G2-IU includes a built-in microphone for audio capture.
Supported audio features include:
- Mono audio recording
- Environmental noise filtering
- G.711 audio compression
- G.722.1 and G.726
- MP2L2
- PCM
- MP3
- AAC-LC
Audio recording depends on the configuration and compatibility of the connected NVR or recording platform.
Important: This model includes a microphone, but the supplied specifications do not identify a built-in speaker for two-way audio.
Infrared Night Vision Up to 30 Metres
The camera includes built-in infrared illumination with a specified range of up to 30 metres (98 feet).
The 850nm IR system supports black-and-white video monitoring in darkness.
Smart supplemental light control helps manage IR illumination according to the camera’s operating conditions.
Unlike Hikvision Smart Hybrid Light models, this camera’s supplied specifications identify infrared illumination only, not integrated white-light colour night vision.
120dB True Wide Dynamic Range
The camera features 120dB True WDR, helping improve visibility in scenes with significant differences between bright and dark areas.
This is useful for:
- Storefront entrances
- Building lobbies
- Parking garage entrances
- Windows and glass doors
- Commercial reception areas
Fixed Lens Options
The DS-2CD2183G2-IU is available with different fixed lens configurations.
2.8mm Lens
- Horizontal field of view: 107°
- Vertical field of view: 57°
- Diagonal field of view: 128°
4mm Lens
- Horizontal field of view: 87°
- Vertical field of view: 46°
- Diagonal field of view: 105°
The 2.8mm option provides wider coverage, while the 4mm option offers a narrower field of view.
Confirm the supplied lens configuration before ordering.
Intelligent Perimeter Protection
The camera supports intelligent perimeter protection features.
Line Crossing Detection: Identifies configured human or vehicle targets crossing a virtual boundary.
Intrusion Detection: Detects supported targets entering a defined area.
These features are useful for entrances, property boundaries, restricted areas and commercial security monitoring.
Face Detection
The DS-2CD2183G2-IU supports face detection events.
Face detection identifies the presence of a face in a scene. It does not establish facial recognition or identity verification capability.
H.265+ Video Compression
The camera supports Hikvision H.265+ video compression.
Supported main-stream formats include:
- H.265+
- H.265
- H.264+
- H.264
H.265+ can help reduce storage requirements and network bandwidth compared with less efficient compression settings.
Actual savings depend on recording configuration and scene conditions.
Local Storage Up to 512GB
The camera includes a memory card slot supporting:
- microSD
- microSDHC
- microSDXC
Maximum supported capacity is 512GB.
It also supports compatible network storage through NAS and Auto Network Replenishment (ANR).
