The Hikvision DS-2CD2186G2-IMS is a professional 8MP 4K HDMI fixed dome IP camera with a 2.8mm wide-angle lens, direct HDMI live view, H.265+ compression, up to 30m IR night vision, Face Capture, perimeter protection, PoE support and IK10 vandal-resistant metal housing.

The Hikvision DS-2CD2186G2-IMS is a high-performance 8MP 4K HDMI fixed dome network camera designed for professional CCTV installations where sharp image detail, direct monitor output and reliable video performance are required.

With 3840 × 2160 4K Ultra HD resolution, this camera captures clear, detailed security footage suitable for commercial premises, retail stores, offices, entrances, reception areas, stock rooms, corridors and protected CCTV monitoring points.

The built-in HDMI output allows direct HD live view on a monitor, making this model ideal for applications where local display monitoring is needed without relying only on an NVR or computer. The camera also supports efficient H.265+ video compression, helping reduce bandwidth and storage usage while maintaining strong image quality.

The 2.8mm fixed lens provides a wide viewing angle, making it suitable for covering larger indoor areas or wide entrance points. Built-in IR illumination supports visibility in low-light and night-time conditions up to 30 metres.

For intelligent security monitoring, the DS-2CD2186G2-IMS supports Face Capture and Perimeter Protection, including line crossing, intrusion, region entrance and region exiting detection. This helps improve event-based monitoring and reduces the need to review unnecessary footage.

The camera supports PoE, allowing power and data to run through a single network cable for a cleaner installation. Its strong IK10 vandal-resistant metal dome housing gives added protection in public-facing or higher-risk areas.
