Product Overview
For outdoor areas where colour evidence matters after dark, the DS-2CD2T47G2-L is a 4MP ColorVu Gen2 bullet camera built for driveways, shopfront exteriors, warehouse yards, loading zones, and commercial perimeter approaches. Combining an F1.0 super-aperture lens with warm white supplemental lighting up to 60m, this model captures full-colour footage in very low-light and zero-light conditions without switching to black-and-white IR imaging. Featuring AcuSense deep learning detection, it focuses alerts on human and vehicle movement rather than every scene change, which helps reduce nuisance events from rain, foliage, and animals. A built-in microphone adds audio context alongside video footage. With 130dB WDR and efficient H.265+ compression, the DS-2CD2T47G2-L suits installers and end users who need dependable colour night coverage across longer outdoor scenes where clothing, vehicle, and scene colour are useful details during incident review.
Key Capabilities
4MP Full-Colour Imaging
4MP resolution combined with ColorVu Gen2 technology captures colour detail across outdoor scenes day and night, which is useful for reviewing clothing, vehicle colour, and wider scene context during incident investigations.
F1.0 Super-Aperture Lens
The F1.0 aperture allows significantly more light to reach the sensor compared with standard lenses, helping the camera maintain vivid colour footage in very low ambient light conditions without relying entirely on supplemental lighting.
60m White Light Range
Built-in warm white LEDs illuminate scenes up to 60m, making this bullet suitable for longer driveways, external yards, loading approaches, and perimeter paths where conventional short-range cameras would not reach useful detail.
AcuSense Human and Vehicle Detection
Deep learning classification filters alerts to focus on human and vehicle events, cutting down on nuisance notifications triggered by environmental movement such as rain, shadows, animals, or blowing foliage in outdoor perimeter locations.
130dB Wide Dynamic Range
130dB WDR helps the camera handle mixed lighting conditions in a single frame, improving visibility at backlit shopfronts, bright entry points, and outdoor areas affected by direct sunlight or vehicle headlights at night.
Built-In Microphone
The integrated microphone captures ambient audio alongside video footage, providing additional scene context for reviewing incidents at entrances, yards, and external areas where audio evidence can support visual records.
Best For
- Long Driveways and Vehicle Approaches: The 60m white light range and AcuSense vehicle detection make this camera well suited to monitoring longer driveway scenes where colour and classification both matter.
- Shopfront and Retail Exteriors: Full-colour night footage and 130dB WDR help capture usable detail at backlit shopfronts, external windows, and customer-facing entry areas after hours.
- Warehouse Yards and Loading Zones: The bullet housing suits wall mounting across large outdoor areas where directional coverage of delivery paths, vehicle movements, and yard access is required.
- Commercial Perimeter and Fence Lines: Human and vehicle filtering paired with the 6mm lens option makes this suitable for narrower perimeter sections, gate entries, and focused fence-line views.
- Colour Evidence Capture: Where clothing colour, vehicle colour, or object colour is a useful detail for police or insurance purposes, this camera provides that information at night rather than a black-and-white IR image.
Why Choose the DS-2CD2T47G2-L
The DS-2CD2T47G2-L stands apart from standard outdoor bullet cameras by combining ColorVu Gen2 imaging with AcuSense detection in a single unit. A basic infrared bullet will switch to black-and-white at night, losing colour context entirely. This model uses an F1.0 super-aperture lens and 60m warm white lighting to retain full colour at distances that many shorter-range colour cameras cannot match. AcuSense classification then ensures those colour-rich alerts are focused on people and vehicles rather than wind, rain, or animals. The integrated microphone adds an audio layer not found on simpler fixed cameras. H.265+ compression keeps storage use manageable across longer retention periods. Available at Security Wholesalers, the DS-2CD2T47G2-L is a practical specification choice for residential perimeters, commercial sites, and any outdoor location where night-time colour detail is a genuine monitoring requirement.
Buyer Decision Tips
Lens Selection: The 2.8mm lens is best for wide close-range scenes such as open yards or broad driveways. The 4mm lens suits medium-distance approaches and general outdoor monitoring. The 6mm lens is the right choice when a narrower, more focused view is needed across a longer gate approach, perimeter path, or building entry corridor.
White Light vs Infrared: This camera uses visible white light to achieve full-colour night footage. In most residential and commercial outdoor settings, this is an advantage. However, if the installation site requires discreet night-time illumination where visible light would be intrusive or draw attention, an infrared model would be more appropriate.

Ideal Use Cases
Residential Driveway Monitoring
The 60m white light and 2.8mm wide-angle lens option give good coverage across residential driveways and front approaches where colour detail of visitors and vehicles is useful at night.
Retail Shopfront Exteriors
130dB WDR handles the backlit conditions common at shopfronts, while full-colour imaging captures meaningful detail for after-hours incident review at entries, windows, and footpath areas.
Warehouse and Yard Perimeters
Wall-mounted bullet placement across warehouse exteriors, loading yards, and delivery areas benefits from the directional coverage and 60m illumination range to capture vehicle movements and personnel activity.
Commercial Gate and Entry Points
The 4mm or 6mm lens options narrow the field of view to cover gate entries, boom gates, and pedestrian access points where a more focused colour image of individuals and vehicles is needed.
Perimeter Paths and Fence Lines
AcuSense human and vehicle filtering helps manage alerts along long perimeter paths and fence lines where environmental triggers such as wind, rain, and moving foliage are common false-event sources.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose the 2.8mm lens if: The scene is wide and close-range, such as an open front yard, broad driveway, or general shopfront area where wide field of view coverage is the priority.
- Choose the 4mm lens if: A balanced view of a medium-distance entry, pathway, or general outdoor area is needed without losing too much field of view or too much detail.
- Choose the 6mm lens if: The scene is a longer or narrower approach such as a gate entry, perimeter corridor, or focused building face where greater detail at distance is more important than wide coverage.
- Choose a different model if: Discreet night-time operation is required and visible white light illumination would be intrusive, in which case an infrared bullet camera with similar resolution and AI detection would be more appropriate.
- Choose a different model if: Two-way audio with a built-in speaker is needed for talk-back or active verbal deterrence, as this model includes a microphone for audio recording but does not include a built-in speaker.
FAQs
- Does the DS-2CD2T47G2-L record in colour at night without infrared?
Yes. This model uses ColorVu Gen2 technology combined with an F1.0 super-aperture lens and built-in warm white LEDs to capture full-colour footage in very low-light and zero-light conditions. It does not use infrared, so night footage retains colour detail rather than switching to a black-and-white image. - What is the actual illumination range for colour night footage?
The white light range is listed at up to 60m. Practical results will vary depending on mounting height, the reflectivity of surfaces being viewed, ambient light in the area, and the distance to the target. The camera can operate at 0 Lux when the white light is active, and at 0.0005 Lux at F1.0 with AGC on in ambient light conditions. - Does this camera include a built-in microphone?
Yes. The DS-2CD2T47G2-L includes a built-in microphone for audio recording alongside video footage. This provides additional scene context when reviewing events. There is no built-in speaker on this model, so it does not support two-way audio or talk-back functionality. - How does AcuSense detection work on this camera?
AcuSense uses deep learning to classify moving objects in the scene as human or vehicle. This means the camera can filter out motion events caused by animals, rain, blowing leaves, or shadows and focus alerts on the activity types most relevant to security monitoring. It helps reduce the volume of nuisance notifications in outdoor environments. - Which lens should I choose for a car park or loading yard?
For a wide open yard or car park where broader coverage is the priority, the 2.8mm lens gives the widest view. For a more focused view of a specific entry lane, loading bay, or directional approach within a larger yard, the 4mm or 6mm lens will provide better detail at that distance. The 6mm lens has a DORI detect distance of 109m, which helps in longer scenes. - Is this camera suitable for wall mounting on a warehouse exterior?
Yes. The bullet housing is designed for this type of installation. It is weather-rated for outdoor use and the directional design suits wall-mounted positions on warehouse exteriors, loading dock walls, and external building faces where coverage needs to be aimed along a specific approach or area. A junction box accessory is available separately to assist with cable management. - Where can I get support and purchase this camera in Australia?
