8MP 4K Surveillance in a Compact Turret with AI-Powered Human and Vehicle Detection
The Hikvision DS-2CD2383G2-IU is an 8MP turret camera that captures 4K video at 3840 x 2160 resolution with AcuSense deep learning analytics for accurate human and vehicle detection. Built around a 1/2.8-inch progressive scan CMOS sensor with a fixed 2.8mm lens (107-degree horizontal field of view) and F1.6 aperture, this security camera delivers clear footage day and night with infrared illumination reaching up to 30 meters and 120dB true wide dynamic range for scenes with mixed lighting. A built-in microphone captures mono audio alongside video, and Power over Ethernet (802.3af Class 3) delivers power and data through a single cable run.
The DS-2CD2383G2-IU sits in Hikvision's AcuSense lineup as a standard 8MP turret with IR night vision, positioned between entry-level fixed cameras and the ColorVu full-color models. AcuSense classification filters motion events by human and vehicle targets, reducing false alarms from animals, leaves, and shadows. The camera supports H.265+ compression to cut bandwidth and storage requirements by up to 80% compared to H.264, with onboard microSD storage up to 512GB for edge recording when the network is interrupted.
Where the DS-2CD2383G2-IU Fits
- Perimeter and parking lot surveillance where the 30-meter IR range and 120dB WDR maintain clear 4K footage across dark areas and entrance points with headlights and overhead lights, and AcuSense classification triggers alerts only for people and vehicles while ignoring animals and environmental motion
- Retail storefronts and warehouse loading docks where the 107-degree wide-angle lens covers large areas from a single mounting point, the built-in microphone adds audio context to recorded events, and the IP67-rated aluminum housing withstands rain, dust, and temperature swings from -30 to 60 degrees Celsius
- Office building entries and common areas where the compact turret form factor mounts flush to ceilings and soffits without the bulk of a box camera, PoE simplifies installation with a single cable for power and data, and onboard microSD provides backup recording if the network connection drops
What the DS-2CD2383G2-IU Delivers
- 8MP 4K Resolution at 3840 x 2160: 1/2.8-inch progressive scan CMOS sensor captures ultra-high-definition video at 20 fps in 4K. Fixed 2.8mm lens with F1.6 aperture provides a 107-degree horizontal field of view and strong low-light sensitivity at 0.005 lux.
- AcuSense Human and Vehicle Classification: Deep learning analytics classify motion events as human or vehicle targets in real time. Reduces false alarms from animals, rain, leaves, and shadows. Supports intrusion detection, line crossing, and face detection with smart filtering.
- 30m IR with 120dB True WDR: Infrared illumination reaches 30 meters for clear night footage in complete darkness. 120dB wide dynamic range balances bright and dark areas in the same scene for entrances, loading docks, and mixed-lighting environments.
- Built-In Mic, H.265+, and 512GB MicroSD: Integrated microphone records mono audio with the video stream. H.265+ compression reduces bandwidth and storage by up to 80%. Onboard microSD slot supports cards up to 512GB for edge recording and ANR failover.
- PoE, IP67, and Wide Temperature Range: Power over Ethernet (802.3af Class 3, max 7.5W) runs power and data on one cable. IP67-rated aluminum alloy housing resists dust and water. Operates from -30 to 60 degrees Celsius. Dimensions: 5.0 x 3.8 inches, 1.3 lb.
Are Turret Cameras Good?
Turret cameras mount flush against ceilings, walls, and soffits with a ball-and-socket joint that allows precise angle adjustment without the extra housing bulk of dome or box cameras. The open-face design eliminates the glass dome that causes IR reflection and glare in dome models, giving turret cameras cleaner night vision performance. The DS-2CD2383G2-IU combines this turret advantage with 8MP 4K resolution, AcuSense AI analytics, and a compact 5-inch diameter footprint that fits residential, retail, and commercial installations where a low-profile mount and reliable IR night coverage are priorities.
