The 4MP audio bullet with reach
The 2.8mm version of this camera handles wide scenes up close. The Hikvision DS-2CD2041G0-LIU with the 4mm lens is the version we install when the camera is more than 8 metres from the area you want to identify, but the budget supports 4MP detail with audio rather than the full latest-generation AcuSense camera.
What this camera is actually good at
- 4MP resolution with 4mm lens. 84° horizontal view. More usable identification detail at distance than the wide-angle version.
- Built-in microphone. Audio recorded alongside video.
- IR illumination up to 30 metres. Coverage in total darkness.
- IP67 weather-sealed. Outdoor rated.
- H.265+ compression. Storage-efficient.
- Standard motion detection. Without full AcuSense AI.
Where this camera belongs on your property
- Side passages over 8 metres long where you want detail at the far end with audio context
- Medium-distance back-yard mounts covering specific zones rather than wide scenes
- Carports and garages watching parking bays at distance
- Cottage and outbuilding entries from across an internal pathway
- Small business loading-bay or vehicle-access positions needing identification with audio
If you want a wider view or step up
- The 2.8mm version of this same camera is the wide-angle alternative.
- The DS-2CD2046G2H-I 4mm adds full AcuSense AI classification at the same resolution.
- The DS-2CD2086G2H-I 8MP ColorVu is the premium 8MP front-gate flagship.
- The DS-2CD2087G3-LIY 8MP G3 ColorVu is the latest-generation 8MP option.
If you want to compare at this level
- The DS-2CD2046G2-IU/SL adds active strobe and siren at the 4MP level.
- The DS-2CD2046G2H-I 4mm is the AcuSense step up.
