The previous-generation 4MP AcuSense dome with audio

The Hikvision DS-2CD2546G2-IS is the previous-generation 4MP AcuSense indoor dome with built-in audio. It precedes the G2H generation, which means slightly less refined low-light performance and an older WDR implementation, but it delivers the AcuSense AI capability and 4MP resolution that actually matter at a meaningfully lower price point than the current G2H units.

We still install this camera regularly. It is the right choice for budget-conscious multi-camera commercial installations, for matching cameras to existing systems, and at supplementary positions in larger installations where the latest-generation flagship is more than the spot needs.

What this camera is actually good at

4MP resolution. Sharp identification-grade detail at typical indoor distances.
Built-in microphone. Audio recorded alongside video.
AcuSense onboard AI. Human and vehicle classification, same AI engine as the rest of the AcuSense range on the previous-generation processor.
Wide 2.8mm lens. 102° horizontal field of view.
120 dB WDR. Effective contrast handling.
IP67 weather-sealed and IK10 vandal-resistant.
Up to 30m IR illumination.
Compact dome form factor.
H.265+ compression.

Where this camera belongs

Multi-camera commercial installs where budget needs to stretch across many positions
Existing system extensions matching the previous generation already installed
Supplementary indoor positions where the latest generation is overkill
Larger retail and hospitality installs with comprehensive coverage requirements at controlled cost
Body corporate communal area coverage at multi-zone scale

If you want the current generation

The DS-2CD2146G2H-ISU 2.8mm is the current G2H generation with refined low-light and contrast handling.
The DS-2CD2186G2H-ISU 2.8mm doubles to 8MP for premium identification positions.

If you want simpler features at lower cost

The DS-2CD2141G0-LIU 2.8mm is the older 4MP turret-style dome at a friendlier price.
The DS-2CD1123G0E-I 2.8mm is the entry-level 1-series 2MP dome for budget-driven supplementary positions.

Pairs cleanly with the DS-7616NXI-K2 16-channel NVR. Our installation guide covers system design.
