Hikvision DS-2CD2346G2P-ISU/SL 4 MP AcuSense Turret Network Camera with Strobe Light and Audio Alarm, 2.8mm Lens, IP67, PoE

Monitor entrances, loading docks, or perimeter areas with the Hikvision DS-2CD2346G2P-ISU/SL, a 4 MP turret camera that pairs sharp imaging with proactive deterrence. Its built-in strobe light and audible alarm can be triggered manually or automatically when AcuSense technology identifies a human or vehicle, helping to warn off intruders before an incident escalates. The 2.8mm fixed lens delivers a wide field of view, while 120 dB True WDR handles challenging backlight, and IP67 weatherproofing ensures reliable operation in outdoor conditions. With PoE support and a built-in microphone and speaker, this camera offers two-way audio and easy installation for small to medium-sized security systems.

Why choose it

This camera goes beyond passive monitoring. The combination of AcuSense classification and active strobe/audio alarms means you can deter intruders in real time, not just record them. The 4 MP sensor captures fine details like faces or license plates, and the wide dynamic range ensures usable footage even when lighting is uneven. Installation is straightforward with PoE, and the rugged IP67 housing withstands rain, dust, and extreme temperatures.

Ideal use cases

• Entrances and exits of commercial buildings
• Loading docks and warehouse perimeters
• Residential driveways and front yards
• Parking lots and garages
• Retail stores requiring both surveillance and deterrence

Good to know

The camera supports H.265+ compression, which can reduce bandwidth and storage requirements by up to 50% compared to H.264. For local storage, insert a microSD card (up to 256 GB) to record directly on the camera. The strobe light and audio alarm can be configured to trigger automatically on human or vehicle detection, or activated manually via the Hik-Connect app. The built-in microphone and speaker enable two-way communication, useful for remote interaction. Note that a PoE switch or injector is required if not using a 12 VDC power supply.
