Protect What Matters with Unmatched Clarity & Smarter Alerts
When you choose the Hikvision DS-2CD2543G2-IWS AcuSense 4MP Mini Dome Camera, you’re getting more than just surveillance — you gain peace of mind. Imagine crisp, sharp video both day and night, fewer false alarms, and a weatherproof, vandal-resistant shell built for real life. It adapts to your needs, whether you're monitoring a driveway, business entrance, or busy walkway.
Why Buyers Choose This Model
4MP Resolution — See More, Recognize More
You get sharp, high-detail video (2688 × 1520) so that faces, license plates, and small movements are clear — helping you identify people and incidents with confidence.
120 dB Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) — Visibility When Light Fights Darkness
Even with strong backlight or bright glare (e.g. sun behind a subject), this camera balances highlights and shadows so nothing is lost in silhouette or glare.
AcuSense Human/Vehicle Classification — Smarter Alerts, Fewer False Alarms
Instead of alarm triggers from trees or lighting, you only get alerts for what matters — people or vehicles — reducing your stress and improving response time.
Efficient H.265+/H.264+ Compression — More Storage, Less Cost
Use up smaller storage for longer durations without losing image quality. Spend less on hard drives or cloud storage.
Night Vision & Smart IR — See Clearly In Total Darkness
Zero-Lux capture with IR + smart supplemental lighting ensures you still get color when there’s low light, and clear black-and-white images when fully dark up to about 30 m.
Optional Wi-Fi & Audio/Alarm Interfaces — Flexible Setup, Less Wiring
Eliminate the headache of running Ethernet everywhere. Add sound & alarms if you need them. Ideal for places where wiring is difficult or flexibility is key.
What This Helps You Avoid
- Wasting time and energy chasing false alerts from shadows, animals, or leaves blowing by.
- Poor image quality where bright and dark zones wash out your subject or hide details.
- Costly storage bills or upgrading drives because your video files are huge and inefficient.
- Night-time blind spots or security gaps when it goes fully dark.
- Damage or failure from harsh environmental conditions or vandalism when camera housings don’t hold up.
- Complex, messy installations that require extra wires or separate alarm/sound systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
The DS-2CD2543G2-IWS delivers a maximum resolution of 2688 × 1520, which equals 4 megapixels. This resolution allows the camera to capture clear and detailed images suitable for identifying people and vehicles. According to the datasheet, the camera supports this resolution at up to 25 fps (50 Hz) or 30 fps (60 Hz). This makes it suitable for environments where both clarity and smooth video playback are important.
Yes, the DS-2CD2543G2-IWS includes built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, as indicated by the “-W” designation in the model name. It supports 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi with IEEE 802.11 b/g/n standards. The datasheet specifies a wireless transmission rate of up to 300 Mbps and a maximum wireless range of up to 80 meters, depending on environmental conditions. This allows flexible installation where network cabling is limited.
This camera uses Hikvision AcuSense technology powered by deep learning algorithms. It supports human and vehicle target classification for motion detection, helping reduce false alarms caused by non-relevant objects. Smart events include line crossing detection and intrusion detection. These features are detailed in the datasheet and are designed to improve alarm accuracy and monitoring efficiency.
The DS-2CD2543G2-IWS is equipped with infrared (IR) illumination for night monitoring. It can operate at 0 lux when IR is enabled, with an IR range of up to 30 meters.
