Hikvision 4MP ColorVu DS-2XS3Q47G1-LDWH-C18S40-B Solar PT Camera Bundle Kit with SMA-ADAPTER, AF003-100 Waterproof Sealing Tape & Two-Way Audio

Product Overview

Off-grid surveillance across farms, construction compounds, remote gates and temporary worksites has always required a trade-off between coverage and infrastructure. The Hikvision DS-2XS3Q47G1-LDWH-C18S40-B removes that trade-off by combining a solar-powered 4MP ColorVu PT camera kit with a built-in lithium battery, Network Bridge P2P communication support, pan movement from 0° to 340°, tilt from -5° to 105°, and 24/7 colour imaging using white light illumination. Featuring H.265+ compression and a built-in microphone and speaker for two-way audio, this bundle operates independently of mains power and fixed network cabling. It also includes an SMA-ADAPTER for antenna connection requirements and AF003-100 Waterproof Sealing Tape for weather-conscious cable sealing during installation. Available in 2.8mm, 4mm and 6mm fixed lens options, it suits a wide range of remote monitoring scenarios where adjustable camera direction from a single mounting point adds genuine operational value.

Key Capabilities

Best For

• Remote Farms and Rural Properties: The solar and battery power system operates without mains cabling, making it practical for shed entries, paddock gates, machinery areas and rural driveways where grid power is unavailable.
• Construction Sites and Temporary Compounds: PT movement allows camera direction to be adjusted remotely as site layouts change, while solar power avoids the need for powered infrastructure at temporary installations.
• Unmanned Gates and Access Points: Two-way audio via the built-in microphone and speaker allows remote operators to speak with visitors at gates and entrances without requiring a separate intercom system.
• Off-Grid Outdoor Yards and Storage Areas: ColorVu 24/7 colour imaging with white light illumination provides usable colour detail across storage yards, laydown areas and vehicle compounds after dark.
• Temporary Events and Short-Term Monitoring: Standalone solar power and Network Bridge P2P communication make the kit deployable at locations where fixed power and wired networking are not available for the duration of the monitoring period.

Why Choose the DS-2XS3Q47G1-LDWH-C18S40-B

A fixed solar camera without PT capability gives one viewing angle from the installation point permanently. The DS-2XS3Q47G1-LDWH-C18S40-B changes that by combining solar-powered independence with 340° pan and 110° tilt range, allowing the operator to redirect coverage remotely without physically moving the camera. ColorVu imaging at 0.0005 lux minimum illumination, supported by white light, provides genuine colour detail at night rather than monochrome footage. The dual-pack 8.4 Ah lithium battery with 3 operating modes gives the flexibility to extend runtime up to 30 days in Standby mode when site activity is low. Two-way audio through the built-in microphone and speaker adds communication capability without extra equipment. Supplied through Security Wholesalers, this bundle also includes the SMA-ADAPTER and AF003-100 Waterproof Sealing Tape to support a more complete and weather-conscious installation from the outset.

Buyer Decision Tips

Key Features & Technical Specifications

Ideal Use Cases

Choosing the Right Model

• Choose this model if: Your site has no mains power or fixed network cabling available, receives adequate sunlight for solar recharging, and has a suitable Network Bridge P2P infrastructure point within line-of-sight. The PT capability is particularly valuable where you need to monitor different directions from a single mounting location without relocating the camera.
• Choose a different model if: Your site requires 4G mobile network connectivity rather than Network Bridge P2P communication, as this C18S40 variant does not include a 4G module. If the location is heavily shaded or receives limited direct sunlight, battery runtime may not meet site monitoring requirements and a mains-powered camera would be more reliable.
• Choose a different model if: You need a fixed wide-area view from a single angle and have mains power available. A fixed outdoor camera at the equivalent resolution would provide continuous mains-powered operation without battery management considerations, and may be a simpler solution for permanently powered installations.

FAQs

1. What is included in the DS-2XS3Q47G1-LDWH-C18S40-B bundle kit?
   The bundle includes the Hikvision DS-2XS3Q47G1-LDW(H)/C18S40 4MP ColorVu Solar-Powered PT Camera Kit (with solar panel, built-in lithium battery, Network Bridge P2P communication and two-way audio), 1 x SMA-ADAPTER and 1 x AF003-100 Waterproof Sealing Tape. These accessories are bundled to support a more complete installation rather than requiring separate sourcing.
2. Does this camera need mains power or an external power supply?
   No. The DS-2XS3Q47G1-LDW(H)/C18S40 is designed as a solar-powered standalone unit with a built-in dual-pack lithium battery rated at 9 V to 12.6 V, 8.4 Ah x 2. It does not require a mains power connection. Actual battery performance depends on solar exposure, panel orientation, selected power mode, recording activity and local weather conditions.
3. What does Network Bridge P2P mean, and does this camera support 4G?
   Network Bridge P2P refers to a wireless bridge communication method for connecting the camera to a network without fixed cabling, using a compatible bridge device within line-of-sight range. This C18S40 variant does not include a 4G mobile network module. The DS-2XS3Q47G1-LDH/4G is the separate model with 4G connectivity and is a different product configuration.
4. How long does the battery last between solar recharging cycles?
   The listed battery working times under specified conditions are: Performance mode approximately 3.6 days, Proactive mode approximately 6 days, and Standby mode approximately 30 days. Actual runtime varies with solar irradiance, panel orientation, shading, camera trigger frequency, recording settings and ambient temperature. Sites with consistent direct sunlight and lower event rates will generally achieve better battery performance.
5. What pan and tilt range does the camera support, and how does it help at remote sites?
   The camera pans from 0° to 340° and tilts from -5° to 105°. This allows operators to remotely reposition the viewing direction from a single mounted location, which is useful at gates, yards and construction sites where the area of interest may shift without requiring a physical camera move. The solar panel independently adjusts from 0° to 358° pan and -40° to 0° tilt for sun-tracking optimisation.
6. Does the DS-2XS3Q47G1-LDWH-C18S40-B support two-way audio?
   Yes. The camera includes a built-in microphone and a built-in speaker, confirming two-way audio capability when the system is correctly configured. This allows remote operators to hear and speak at the camera location, which is practical for gate access management, site visitor communication and remote deterrence, subject to applicable privacy and surveillance legislation in your location.
7. What lens options are available and which should I choose for my site?
   The DS-2XS3Q47G1-LDW(H)/C18S40 is available in 2.8mm (horizontal 96°), 4mm (horizontal 76°) and 6mm fixed lens options. The 2.8mm lens suits wider coverage of open yards, storage areas and compound entries. The 4mm lens provides a narrower, more directed view for gates and approach paths. The 6mm option suits longer-reach applications where a tighter field of view is appropriate. Lens selection also interacts with the PT movement range available at the site.
8. Why is the AF003-100 Waterproof Sealing Tape included in the bundle?
   The AF003-100 Waterproof Sealing Tape is included to support weather-resistant cable sealing during installation. Outdoor and remote camera deployments are exposed to rain, humidity and temperature variation, and correctly sealed cable entries and connection points reduce the risk of water ingress over time. Security Wholesalers includes this accessory in the bundle so installers have the appropriate sealing material on hand at the time of commissioning rather than needing to source it separately.

Cabling Considerations

• Power Cabling: No mains power cabling is required. The solar panel and built-in battery provide standalone power. Ensure the solar panel is oriented toward the prevailing sun path at your latitude using the panel’s adjustment range (0° to 358° pan, -40° to 0° tilt).
• Antenna and SMA-ADAPTER: The included SMA-ADAPTER supports compatible antenna or adaptor connection requirements for the Network Bridge communication setup. Confirm antenna placement and tighten all connections before applying the included AF003-100 Waterproof Sealing Tape around exposed connection points.
• Network Bridge Line-of-Sight: Network Bridge P2P communication relies on a compatible bridge device within line-of-sight of the camera installation point. Assess the physical path between the camera location and the nearest bridge node before finalising the mounting position, as obstructions can affect communication reliability.
• Waterproof Sealing: Apply the AF003-100 Waterproof Sealing Tape to all exposed cable entry points, antenna connection joints and any external connection areas after finalising the installation. This is especially important for remote deployments where the installation may not be revisited frequently.
