Product SKU: DS-2CD2347G2-LU
Product Overview
The Hikvision DS-2CD2347G2-LU is a 4MP ColorVu Gen2 fixed turret camera designed for buyers who need full-colour day and night surveillance with intelligent event filtering and built-in audio capture. It suits residential driveways, shopfronts, backyards, perimeter fences and small commercial sites where colour detail is more useful than traditional black-and-white infrared footage. With an F1.0 super-aperture lens, warm white LED illumination, AcuSense human and vehicle classification, 130dB WDR and IP67 weather protection, this model is built for reliable outdoor monitoring in challenging lighting conditions. The 2.8mm, 4mm and 6mm lens options also give installers flexibility to choose between wide coverage, balanced viewing or a narrower long-range view.
Key Capabilities
24/7 Full-Colour Imaging
ColorVu technology allows the camera to capture colour video day and night using a large aperture lens and warm white illumination. This is useful when clothing colour, vehicle colour or scene detail matters during event review.
AcuSense Human and Vehicle Detection
AcuSense helps classify people and vehicles so alerts can focus on more relevant movement. This can reduce nuisance events caused by rain, animals, shadows or other non-security motion in outdoor areas.
Built-In Microphone
The integrated microphone records environmental audio alongside video, adding useful context to incidents. This can help when reviewing activity near doors, driveways, shopfronts or other monitored areas where sound may support the footage.
Strong Low-Light Performance
The F1.0 lens and 0.0005 Lux minimum illumination help the camera maintain useful colour footage in dim scenes. This is valuable for locations where full-time colour evidence is preferred over infrared-only night monitoring.
Lens Choice for Different Scenes
The 2.8mm, 4mm and 6mm fixed lens options allow the camera to be matched to the installation. Choose wider coverage for open areas or a narrower lens when more focus is needed on a specific approach.
Outdoor Turret Design
The IP67-rated housing makes the DS-2CD2347G2-LU suitable for outdoor use around homes and businesses. Its turret form factor is practical for fixed coverage of entrances, yards, fences and perimeter areas.
Best For
- Residential Driveways: Useful for capturing colour footage of vehicles, people and front-of-home activity after dark.
- Retail Shopfronts: A practical choice for entrances and display windows where colour detail and audio context can support event review.
- Backyards and Side Access: Suitable for outdoor areas where white light colour recording is preferred over infrared-only footage.
- Perimeter Fences: The 4mm or 6mm lens options can suit more focused views along fence lines, paths or controlled approaches.
- Small Commercial Sites: Works well for fixed coverage around offices, workshops, external doors and business access points.
Why Choose the DS-2CD2347G2-LU
The DS-2CD2347G2-LU is best chosen when full-colour night footage and smart detection are more important than a discreet infrared-only camera. It is well suited to buyers who want useful colour detail after dark, but do not need strobe light, siren or two-way speaker deterrence. The built-in microphone adds audio context, while AcuSense helps make alerts more relevant by focusing on people and vehicles. As part of the Security Wholesalers range, this model suits homes and businesses looking for a clean, fixed turret camera with strong low-light colour performance and flexible lens options.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: This model uses white light for full-colour night recording rather than traditional infrared. It is ideal where colour detail is important, but it may be more visible at night than an IR-only camera.
Buyer Tip: Choose the 2.8mm lens for wider coverage, the 4mm lens for a balanced view, or the 6mm lens when you need a narrower view toward a more distant target area.

- Choose the 4mm lens if: You want a balanced view for medium-distance coverage such as a driveway, entry path or small perimeter area.
- Choose the 6mm lens if: You need a narrower view aimed at a more distant or specific target area, such as a corridor, gate or fence line.
- Choose a different model if: You need infrared-only discreet night vision, strobe light, a speaker, two-way audio or active deterrence features.
FAQs
- Is the DS-2CD2347G2-LU suitable for driveways?
Yes. The DS-2CD2347G2-LU is suitable for driveways where full-colour night recording, human and vehicle detection, and built-in audio capture are useful. The 2.8mm lens suits wider driveway coverage, while the 4mm lens gives a more balanced view. For a narrower driveway entry or gate, the 6mm lens may be more suitable. - Does this camera record in colour at night?
Yes. The DS-2CD2347G2-LU uses ColorVu technology and warm white LED illumination to deliver colour footage at night. This makes it useful where colour detail matters, such as identifying clothing colours, vehicles or scene context. Buyers should note that white light is more visible at night than infrared illumination. - Does the DS-2CD2347G2-LU use infrared?
No infrared night mode is listed for this model. It uses white light illumination for colour night recording instead. This is a good fit when colour evidence is the priority, but buyers wanting very discreet black-and-white IR night vision should consider a different camera type. The white light range is listed up to 40m. - What is the difference between the 2.8mm, 4mm and 6mm lens options?
The 2.8mm lens provides the widest view at 103° horizontal, making it best for close-range open areas. The 4mm lens gives an 86° horizontal view for more balanced coverage. The 6mm lens narrows the view to 55° horizontal, making it better for corridors, gates or more focused monitoring at distance. - Does this camera include audio recording?
Yes. The DS-2CD2347G2-LU includes a built-in microphone for capturing audio alongside video when configured correctly and where local requirements permit. This can add useful context during playback, especially around entrances, shopfronts and driveways. It does not mean the camera has a speaker or two-way talk function unless that is separately confirmed. - How does AcuSense help with alerts?
AcuSense helps classify human and vehicle movement so the system can focus on more relevant events. This can reduce false alerts caused by rain, animals, moving branches or other non-security motion. When paired with a compatible recorder or setup, it can make event review more practical for homes, shops and outdoor perimeter areas. - Is this camera suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. The DS-2CD2347G2-LU has an IP67 rating, making it suitable for outdoor installation around homes, shops, backyards, driveways and perimeter areas. Correct mounting, lens selection and camera positioning still matter. For most buyers, Security Wholesalers recommends matching the lens choice to the actual distance and width of the scene. - Does this model have active deterrence?
No strobe light, siren or speaker-based active deterrence feature is listed for this model. It focuses on colour night imaging, AcuSense detection and built-in microphone audio capture. Choose an active deterrence model instead if you need a camera that can trigger visible warning lights or audible alarms when an event is detected. - Is the DS-2CD2347G2-LU better than a standard IR camera?
It depends on the installation. The DS-2CD2347G2-LU is better when full-colour night footage is important and white light is acceptable. A standard IR camera may be better when you want more discreet black-and-white night monitoring. For driveways, shopfronts and entrances, colour footage can be valuable when reviewing incidents.
