Product SKU: HIK-2CD2146G2-I2
Product Overview
The Hikvision HIK-2CD2146G2-I2 is a 4MP AcuSense outdoor dome camera designed for buyers who need reliable fixed surveillance with smart event filtering, strong low-light performance and a vandal-resistant housing. It suits homes, offices, shopfronts, apartment entries, schools, warehouses and commercial sites where a compact dome camera is preferred over a turret or bullet camera. With up to 2688 × 1520 resolution at 30fps, powered-by-DarkFighter technology, 30m IR night vision, 120dB WDR and human and vehicle target classification, this model is built for clear day and night monitoring. Its IP67 weather rating and IK10 impact rating make it suitable for exposed and public-facing areas where durability is an important installation requirement.
Key Capabilities
4MP Dome Camera Detail
The camera records up to 2688 × 1520 resolution at 30fps, giving clear fixed coverage for entrances, driveways, corridors and commercial access points. This is useful where a compact dome design is preferred without sacrificing practical image detail.
AcuSense Human and Vehicle Filtering
AcuSense technology helps classify people and vehicles while reducing false alarms from irrelevant motion. This makes alerts more useful in real installations where wind, trees, animals or shadows can trigger standard motion detection too often.
Powered-by-DarkFighter Performance
DarkFighter technology helps improve low-light image quality before the camera relies fully on infrared. This is helpful around entries, external walls and perimeter areas where lighting conditions can change throughout the night.
30m Infrared Night Vision
The listed 30m IR range supports night-time monitoring in common residential and commercial areas. It is useful for doorways, paths, driveways and exterior approaches where dependable after-hours visibility is required.
120dB WDR for Difficult Light
120dB WDR helps balance bright and shaded areas in the same scene. This is especially useful near building entries, glass doors, car park approaches and areas affected by sunlight or glare.
Weather and Impact Resistance
The IP67 and IK10 ratings make this dome camera suitable for outdoor and public-facing areas. It is a strong choice where weather protection and vandal resistance are both important.
Best For
- Apartment and Office Entries: A compact dome option for access doors, foyers and shared walkways.
- Shopfronts: Suitable for external retail monitoring where impact resistance and smart event filtering are valuable.
- Driveways and Paths: Useful for fixed wide-area coverage with 2.8mm lens viewing and 30m IR night vision.
- Schools and Public Buildings: A practical choice where IK10 impact resistance and dependable fixed coverage are required.
- Commercial Perimeters: Works well around external walls, doorways and covered access zones where people and vehicle filtering can reduce false alarms.
Why Choose the HIK-2CD2146G2-I2
The HIK-2CD2146G2-I2 is worth choosing when you need a durable outdoor dome camera with smart AcuSense filtering rather than a basic motion detection camera. Its compact vandal-resistant housing makes it suitable for public-facing locations, while the 2.8mm lens gives practical wide coverage for entries, paths and general surveillance areas. Compared with a larger turret or bullet camera, this model offers a neater dome-style installation while still providing DarkFighter low-light performance, 120dB WDR and 30m IR coverage. As part of the Security Wholesalers range, it suits buyers wanting a reliable fixed dome camera for residential, commercial and institutional sites.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: Choose this model when you want a compact dome camera with strong weather and impact protection. If you need visible deterrence, two-way audio or a strobe warning, select a model that specifically includes those active deterrence features.
Buyer Tip: The 2.8mm lens is best for wider close-range monitoring. It is ideal for entries, paths and small external areas, but a narrower lens or zoom camera may be better for distant targets.

Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need a 4MP AcuSense dome camera with 2.8mm fixed lens, DarkFighter low-light performance, 30m IR, IP67 weather protection and IK10 impact resistance.
- Choose a turret camera if: You want a more visibly directional camera body or easier aiming for general outdoor wall mounting.
- Choose an active deterrence model if: You need built-in strobe light, speaker, audio alarm or two-way audio warning features.
- Choose a higher-resolution model if: You need more image detail for larger areas or more demanding playback review.
FAQs
- Is the HIK-2CD2146G2-I2 suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. The HIK-2CD2146G2-I2 is suitable for outdoor use with an IP67 weather rating and IK10 vandal-resistant housing. This makes it useful for entrances, walkways, shopfronts, public-facing walls and commercial areas where weather protection and impact resistance are both important.
- What resolution does this dome camera record at?
The camera records at a maximum resolution of 2688 × 1520 at 30fps. This provides 4MP-class image detail for common fixed surveillance areas such as doors, driveways, external paths and business entrances. It is a practical balance between detail, storage use and general-purpose monitoring.
- How does AcuSense reduce false alarms?
AcuSense uses deep learning to help distinguish humans and vehicles from other movement in the scene. This can reduce false alarms caused by trees, animals, rain, shadows or other irrelevant motion. For many Security Wholesalers buyers, this makes alerts and playback review more useful than basic motion detection.
- How far can the camera see at night?
The listed IR range is up to 30m, which suits many common outdoor and entry monitoring applications. Actual night visibility can vary depending on mounting height, reflectivity, weather, ambient light and the distance to the subject. It is well suited to entrances, paths, walkways and smaller external areas.
- Does this model have active deterrence?
No active deterrence features such as strobe light, speaker or audio alarm are listed in the supplied content. This model focuses on fixed dome surveillance, AcuSense event filtering, DarkFighter low-light performance, IR night vision and vandal-resistant installation. Choose an active deterrence model if warning functions are required.
- What is the benefit of IK10 impact resistance?
IK10 impact resistance makes the camera better suited to locations where it may be exposed to tampering, accidental impact or public-facing use. This is useful for apartment entries, commercial walkways, schools, retail entrances and exposed exterior walls where a less protected camera may be more vulnerable.
- Can this camera be powered by PoE?
Yes. The HIK-2CD2146G2-I2 supports PoE using 802.3af Class 3, as well as 12V DC power. PoE is often preferred because power and data can run through one network cable when connected to compatible equipment, helping simplify installation.
- Does this camera support onboard storage?
Yes. The supplied information lists onboard storage support up to 128GB. This can be useful for local backup or smaller installations, although many buyers still use a compatible NVR for centralised recording, playback and longer retention across multiple cameras.
- Where should this camera be installed?
This camera is best installed where a compact dome design, vandal resistance and fixed viewing angle are useful. Good locations include entry doors, shopfronts, apartment walkways, office exteriors, school buildings and exposed access points. Because it has a fixed 2.8mm lens, it should be positioned to cover the most important movement path clearly.
