4K IP Turret Camera with AcuSense Smart Detection, Built-In Microphone, and 30-Meter EXIR Night Vision
The Hikvision DS-2CD2383G2-IU is a 4K IP camera that captures 8MP video at 3840 x 2160 resolution with AcuSense deep learning analytics for accurate human and vehicle detection. A 1/2.8-inch progressive scan CMOS sensor with a fixed 2.8mm lens provides a 107-degree horizontal field of view through an F1.6 aperture, and EXIR 2.0 infrared illumination reaches 30 meters for clear night footage. This security camera includes a built-in microphone for audio recording, external audio I/O (1 in, 1 out), 120dB wide dynamic range for challenging lighting, and Power over Ethernet (802.3af) for single-cable installation.
The DS-2CD2383G2-IU sits in Hikvision's AcuSense lineup as a mainstream 8MP turret that balances 4K resolution, smart analytics, and straightforward installation. AcuSense classification filters motion triggers by human and vehicle targets, reducing false alarms from environmental movement. H.265+ compression cuts bandwidth and storage requirements while maintaining 4K image quality, and onboard microSD up to 512GB provides edge recording with ANR failover when the network is interrupted. The turret form factor eliminates the IR reflection issues common to dome cameras, delivering cleaner night footage at this resolution.
Where the DS-2CD2383G2-IU Fits
- Commercial building perimeters and parking areas where 4K resolution captures license plates and facial details at longer distances than 2MP or 4MP cameras, the 30-meter EXIR range covers dark zones around entrances and loading areas, and AcuSense sends targeted alerts for people and vehicles while ignoring animals and debris
- Retail locations and gas station canopies where the built-in microphone adds audio context to recorded incidents, the 120dB WDR handles overhead lighting mixed with dark aisles or fuel islands, and H.265+ compression keeps 4K storage costs manageable across multi-camera deployments
- Residential and small business properties where the 107-degree wide-angle lens covers driveways, yards, and storefronts from a single mount point, PoE eliminates separate power runs, and the IP67 turret housing withstands rain, snow, and temperature extremes from -30 to 60 degrees Celsius year-round
What the DS-2CD2383G2-IU Delivers
- 4K 8MP Resolution at 3840 x 2160: 1/2.8-inch progressive scan CMOS sensor captures ultra-high-definition video at 20 fps in 4K. 2.8mm fixed lens with F1.6 aperture provides a 107-degree horizontal field of view. Low-light sensitivity at 0.005 lux in color mode.
- AcuSense Smart Detection with Audio: Deep learning analytics classify motion events as human or vehicle targets in real time, reducing false alarms. Built-in microphone for mono audio recording. External audio I/O (1 in, 1 out) for connecting additional audio devices. Supports face detection, intrusion, and line crossing.
- 30m EXIR 2.0 with 120dB WDR: EXIR 2.0 infrared illumination reaches 30 meters with even distribution and no hot spots. 120dB wide dynamic range balances bright and dark areas in high-contrast scenes. Smart supplement light adjusts IR intensity based on scene conditions.
- H.265+ Compression and 512GB MicroSD: H.265+ encoding reduces bandwidth and storage by up to 80% compared to H.264 while preserving 4K detail. Onboard microSD slot supports cards up to 512GB with ANR failover. NAS support via NFS and SMB for network recording.
- PoE, IP67, and Metal Turret Housing: Power over Ethernet (802.3af, max 7.5W) runs power and data on one cable. IP67-rated housing resists dust and water. Operates from -30 to 60 degrees Celsius. Dimensions: 5.0 x 3.8 inches, 1.3 lb. ONVIF Profile S and G compatible.
Is 4K Worth It for Security Cameras?
4K resolution captures four times the pixel detail of 1080p, which translates directly to identifying faces, reading license plates, and recognizing product details at distances where lower-resolution cameras produce unusable blur. The DS-2CD2383G2-IU records at 3840 x 2160 with AcuSense analytics that make the extra resolution actionable by automatically flagging frames with people and vehicles. For deployments where evidence quality and identification matter, 4K provides the detail needed for investigations and incident review that lower resolutions cannot match.
