Product Overview
For remote sites where running power cables and fixed network cabling is simply not practical, the Hikvision DS-2XS3Q47G1-LDH/4G offers a fully self-contained surveillance setup in a single unit. This solar-powered PT camera combines a built-in battery, integrated solar panel, 4G mobile connectivity, 4MP ColorVu imaging, white light illumination, and real-time two-way audio without requiring any mains power or wired internet connection. Equipped with pan movement from 0° to 340° and tilt from -5° to 105°, it allows users to reposition the camera view remotely from one fixed mounting point, covering yards, gates, tracks, and site entries across a wider angle than a fixed camera allows. Featuring 64GB eMMC built-in storage and microSD card support up to 256GB, it records locally even when 4G connectivity is interrupted. It is well suited to farms, construction sites, remote gates, temporary compounds, outdoor yards, and rural properties where off-grid monitoring is a practical necessity.
Key Capabilities
Solar Panel and Built-In Battery
The integrated solar panel and built-in battery support standalone operation without fixed mains power. This allows the camera to be deployed at remote gates, rural sheds, construction sites, and off-grid properties where running power cabling is impractical or too costly.
4G Mobile Connectivity
Supporting LTE-TDD, LTE-FDD, and TD-SCDMA networks, the DS-2XS3Q47G1-LDH/4G transmits video and alerts over 4G where a compatible SIM card, active data plan, and sufficient mobile signal are available. No fixed broadband or wired network infrastructure is required.
Pan and Tilt Camera Control
With camera pan from 0° to 340° and tilt from -5° to 105°, users can remotely reposition the viewing angle from one mounting point to cover gates, pathways, yard areas, and entry points across a wider range than a fixed-lens camera allows.
4MP ColorVu 24/7 Colour Imaging
ColorVu technology delivers colour video around the clock at 2688 x 1520 resolution. White light illumination supports colour footage up to 30m in performance mode and up to 10m in proactive mode, making night-time footage more useful for identifying vehicles, people, and site activity.
Two-Way Audio
A built-in microphone and speaker allow real-time two-way audio communication through the camera. This supports remote visitor interaction, site warnings, and staff communication without the need for a separate intercom device at the installation point.
Local Storage with eMMC and microSD
64GB eMMC storage is built in, and additional microSD, microSDHC, or microSDXC cards up to 256GB are supported. Local recording continues even if the 4G connection is interrupted, which is valuable for remote sites with inconsistent mobile coverage.
Best For
- Remote Rural Gates and Driveways: The 4G connectivity and solar power allow monitoring of rural property access points and long driveways where fixed power and internet infrastructure do not reach.
- Construction and Temporary Worksites: The self-contained power and communication setup makes the camera easy to relocate as site layouts change, with no need for permanent cabling at each position.
- Farms and Agricultural Properties: Suitable for monitoring paddock gates, fuel storage, machinery areas, and sheds on properties where mains power is unavailable across the full site.
- Outdoor Yards and Storage Compounds: The PT movement and 4MP colour imaging allow coverage of multiple areas within a yard or compound from a single solar-powered camera position.
- Temporary Events and Pop-Up Installations: Where permanent camera infrastructure is not available or approved, the standalone solar and 4G setup provides a deployable monitoring option for a fixed period.
Why Choose the Hikvision DS-2XS3Q47G1-LDH/4G
The DS-2XS3Q47G1-LDH/4G addresses a surveillance requirement that a standard IP camera with PoE cannot meet: fully off-grid monitoring with remote access over a mobile network. Where a fixed-lens solar camera covers only one direction, the PT movement here spans 340° pan and 110° tilt range, allowing users to reposition the view across an entire site entrance, yard, or perimeter from one mounting point. ColorVu technology and white light illumination maintain colour footage after dark without requiring a separate lighting circuit. The 64GB eMMC storage and microSD card support up to 256GB provide local recording continuity if the 4G connection drops. Built-in two-way audio, confirmed with both a microphone and speaker, adds communication capability without extra hardware. Available through Security Wholesalers, the DS-2XS3Q47G1-LDH/4G is a considered choice for anyone needing camera coverage at a location where infrastructure simply does not exist.
Buyer Decision Tips
Lens Choice – 4mm vs 6mm: The 4mm lens provides a wider 75° horizontal field of view and is better suited to covering broad entrances, open yards, and short-range areas such as gates or compound entries. The 6mm lens narrows to 49° horizontal but extends DORI detection range to 120m, making it more suited to monitoring long driveways, tracks, or rural roads where greater reach is needed at the cost of a tighter viewing angle. Confirm the site geometry and distances before ordering, as the lens is fixed and cannot be swapped after purchase.
4G Coverage and Solar Exposure: Performance depends on both mobile signal strength at the installation point and adequate daily solar exposure for the panel to maintain battery charge. Before installation, verify that a compatible SIM card and active data plan will provide consistent 4G coverage at the site. In locations with poor solar exposure, such as heavily shaded areas or extreme southerly orientations, battery performance may be reduced. The solar panel can be adjusted independently with pan from 0° to 358° and tilt from -40° to 0° to optimise charging angle at the mounting point.

Ideal Use Cases
Farms and Rural Properties
Solar power and 4G connectivity allow monitoring of remote gates, machinery sheds, fuel storage areas, and paddock entries on large rural properties where fixed power and internet are not available across the full site.
Construction Sites
The self-contained design allows the camera to be repositioned as site layouts evolve. PT movement means one unit can cover multiple directions at a compound entry, equipment storage area, or perimeter point without additional cameras.
Remote Access Gates and Entrances
4G communication and two-way audio allow owners to monitor and communicate at remote property access points without visiting the site. The 4mm lens option provides a wide enough field of view to cover a full gate and approach area.
Outdoor Yards and Storage Compounds
The 340° pan range allows a single camera to be repositioned remotely to cover different sections of a yard or compound. ColorVu colour imaging and white light up to 30m support useful after-dark footage across vehicle and equipment storage areas.
Temporary and Pop-Up Monitoring
Where permanent cabling is not approved or practical, the solar and 4G setup allows deployment for a defined period. Local recording via 64GB eMMC and microSD up to 256GB maintains footage continuity if 4G connectivity is intermittent.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need off-grid camera monitoring with no access to mains power or fixed internet, and your site has adequate 4G mobile coverage and sufficient daily solar exposure to maintain the built-in battery charge.
- Choose the 4mm lens variant if: Your priority is a wide viewing angle across open entrances, gate areas, or compound entries at shorter ranges up to approximately 30m where colour night detail is needed.
- Choose the 6mm lens variant if: Your site requires greater reach along a driveway, track, or rural road, where the extended 120m DORI detection range is more useful than a wider field of view at close distances.
- Choose a different model if: Your installation has reliable mains power and fixed network cabling available. A standard wired IP camera will deliver higher sustained frame rates, more consistent recording, and lower total cost for permanently wired locations where solar independence is not a requirement.
- Choose a different model if: Optical zoom is required to identify subjects at variable distances from one fixed mounting point. This camera uses a fixed focal length lens and PT movement for repositioning, not optical zoom.
FAQs
- Does the DS-2XS3Q47G1-LDH/4G need to be connected to mains power?
No. The camera is designed to operate entirely on solar charging and a built-in battery. It is intended for locations where fixed power cabling is impractical or unavailable. Performance will depend on daily solar exposure, battery condition, power mode settings, recording activity, and local weather conditions affecting panel output.
- What SIM card and 4G plan does this camera require?
The DS-2XS3Q47G1-LDH/4G supports LTE-TDD, LTE-FDD, and TD-SCDMA networks. You will need a compatible SIM card from an Australian carrier that provides 4G data coverage at the installation site. Confirm SIM card size compatibility and data plan suitability with your carrier before installation, as these are not supplied with the camera.
- What is the pan and tilt range of the camera?
The camera can pan from 0° to 340° and tilt from -5° to 105°. This allows remote repositioning of the viewing angle across a wide arc from one mounting point. The solar panel itself can also be independently adjusted, with pan from 0° to 358° and tilt from -40° to 0°, so it can be oriented for optimal solar charging regardless of the camera direction.
- How does this camera record footage without a fixed network connection?
The camera includes 64GB eMMC built-in storage and supports microSD, microSDHC, and microSDXC cards up to 256GB. Local recording continues even when 4G connectivity is unavailable or interrupted, which makes it practical for remote sites where mobile signal can be inconsistent. Recording duration depends on resolution, frame rate, compression settings, and available storage capacity.
- Does the DS-2XS3Q47G1-LDH/4G support two-way audio?
Yes. The camera includes both a built-in microphone and a built-in speaker, enabling real-time two-way audio communication when the system is configured correctly. This allows users to listen and speak through the camera remotely. Confirm local privacy and audio recording regulations for your installation site before enabling audio features. This product is available through Security Wholesalers for sites requiring off-grid audio-capable surveillance.
- What is the difference between the 4mm and 6mm lens options?
The 4mm lens provides a wider 75° horizontal field of view and suits monitoring of open entrances, gate areas, and short-range scenes. The 6mm lens narrows to 49° horizontal but extends DORI detection range to 120m compared to 82m for the 4mm, making it more suited to monitoring long driveways, tracks, or approaches where greater reach matters more than a wide angle. The lens is fixed and cannot be changed after purchase, so confirm your site geometry before ordering.
- Does the camera record in colour at night?
Yes. ColorVu technology and built-in white light illumination support colour imaging after dark. White light reaches up to 30m in performance mode and up to 10m in proactive mode. The camera achieves a minimum illumination of 0.0005 lux at F1.0 with AGC on, and 0 lux when the white light is active, maintaining colour footage in very low ambient light conditions.
- What should be checked before installing this camera at a remote site?
Before installation, confirm 4G mobile coverage strength and carrier compatibility at the exact mounting location, available daily solar exposure and panel orientation options, SIM card and data plan readiness, selected lens option relative to site distances and angles, microSD card capacity for local storage, and whether audio recording is permitted under applicable state regulations for the location.
