Product Overview
Combining full-colour night vision with AcuSense intelligent detection, the DS-2CD2347G2-LU is a 4MP Gen2 ColorVu turret camera built for outdoor installation on eaves, soffits, and wall brackets where consistent colour footage matters after dark. Equipped with a 1/1.8″ CMOS sensor and F1.0 large aperture lens, it achieves a minimum illumination of 0.0005 Lux and relies entirely on its built-in white LED for up to 30m of illumination, delivering colour images around the clock without switching to greyscale. Featuring AcuSense deep learning classification, the DS-2CD2347G2-LU filters motion events by distinguishing human and vehicle movement from background noise such as foliage or passing animals. It also incorporates 130 dB True WDR for scenes with strong contrast between bright and shadowed areas, and H.265+ compression to keep storage and bandwidth requirements manageable. This specific variant has no built-in microphone, making it suited to video-only deployments in privacy-sensitive environments. The 2.8mm fixed lens provides a wide 103-degree horizontal field of view, well suited to driveways, shopfronts, and outdoor common areas where broad coverage at close to medium range is the priority.
Key Capabilities
ColorVu Full-Time Colour Night Vision
The F1.0 large aperture lens and 1/1.8″ high-sensitivity CMOS sensor capture colour video down to 0.0005 Lux, meaning footage retains usable colour in near-darkness rather than switching to monochrome, which aids identification of clothing, vehicles, and other distinguishing details.
AcuSense Human and Vehicle Classification
Deep learning-based AcuSense technology evaluates motion events and focuses alerts on confirmed human or vehicle activity. This significantly reduces unwanted notifications triggered by animals, wind-blown foliage, or lighting changes, keeping event logs relevant and review times short.
30m White LED Illumination
The built-in white light LED provides up to 30m of supplemental illumination in total darkness. Unlike infrared, white light supports full-colour capture at any time, making this camera effective for covering driveways, entry points, and outdoor paths without relying on external lighting.
130 dB True Wide Dynamic Range
With 130 dB True WDR, the camera handles scenes where bright sunlight and deep shadow appear simultaneously, such as a shopfront with an illuminated interior facing a sunlit footpath. Detail is preserved in both the bright and dark areas of the frame rather than one being washed out.
H.265+ Compression and IP67 Weather Rating
H.265+ reduces file sizes and bandwidth compared to H.264 without sacrificing image quality, lowering storage costs across multi-camera systems. The IP67 ingress protection rating confirms the housing is fully sealed against dust and sustained water immersion, suitable for exposed outdoor positions.
Best For
- Driveway and Entry Point Coverage: The 2.8mm lens delivers a 103-degree horizontal field of view, capturing the full width of a typical residential driveway or commercial entry lane, with ColorVu providing colour detail at night without needing an existing light source.
- Shopfronts and Building Facades: AcuSense classification helps installers deploy this camera on retail or commercial facades where passing foot and vehicle traffic would otherwise generate excessive motion alerts under standard detection.
- Privacy-Sensitive Video-Only Installations: Because this variant has no built-in microphone, it suits locations where audio recording raises privacy or compliance concerns, including shared outdoor areas, apartment common spaces, and workplace car parks.
- Outdoor Areas Without Permanent Lighting: The built-in white LED and 0.0005 Lux sensitivity allow the DS-2CD2347G2-LU to operate in unlit outdoor positions such as rear yards, loading areas, or pathway approaches without depending on existing infrastructure.
Why Choose the DS-2CD2347G2-LU
The DS-2CD2347G2-LU stands apart from standard 4MP outdoor cameras through the combination of ColorVu full-colour night imaging, AcuSense classification, and a 1/1.8″ sensor in a compact turret housing. A conventional camera with infrared night vision produces greyscale footage after dark, which limits the ability to identify clothing colour, vehicle colour, or other distinguishing features. The ColorVu system maintains colour at all hours using the F1.0 lens and white LED, giving footage more investigative and evidentiary value. AcuSense adds a practical layer of event filtering that a camera without deep learning cannot replicate, reducing alert fatigue on systems where multiple cameras are monitored. The no-microphone configuration of this variant is a deliberate choice for sites with specific privacy requirements, and it avoids the compliance considerations that come with audio capture. Available at Security Wholesalers, this camera is supported by a 3-year warranty, making it a dependable long-term outdoor installation for both residential and commercial projects.
Buyer Decision Tips
Lens Selection and Audio Requirements: This listing covers the 2.8mm fixed lens variant, which provides a 103-degree horizontal field of view suited to wider coverage at close to medium distances. If your installation requires a narrower field of view for a longer approach, such as a driveway exceeding 15m in depth, the 4mm or 6mm variants of the DS-2CD2347G2-LU should be considered instead. Also confirm before purchasing whether audio capture is needed at the site. This variant has no built-in microphone. If ambient sound recording is required, the microphone-equipped variant is available separately and is linked in the Additional Information section below.

Ideal Use Cases
Residential Driveways
The 2.8mm lens covers the full width of a standard driveway from eave or soffit position, while ColorVu captures colour vehicle and clothing detail at night. AcuSense filters alerts to human and vehicle events, so homeowners receive relevant notifications rather than motion triggered by animals or wind.
Retail Shopfronts
Mounted above a shopfront entrance, the DS-2CD2347G2-LU delivers colour identification of customers and passing traffic under both artificial lighting and complete darkness. The 130 dB WDR capability handles the contrast between an illuminated shop interior and the darker footpath outside.
Apartment and Strata Common Areas
The no-microphone configuration makes this variant appropriate for shared outdoor spaces such as basement car parks, pool areas, and building entries where audio recording is restricted under strata by-laws or privacy regulations. Full-colour footage is retained without any audio capture.
Small Commercial Car Parks
Deployed on wall brackets or eave positions overlooking parking bays, the wide 103-degree FOV covers multiple spaces from a single camera. The built-in white LED removes dependence on pole lighting, and H.265+ compression reduces NVR storage consumption across a multi-camera car park layout.
Building Perimeter Paths and Side Entries
Side passages, fire escape paths, and service entries often lack permanent lighting and are overlooked by standard IR cameras that produce only greyscale footage. The DS-2CD2347G2-LU illuminates these areas with its white LED while maintaining colour detail, and IP67 weather sealing handles exposure to rain and condensation.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: Your installation requires full-colour outdoor video at night without IR, needs AcuSense human and vehicle filtering to manage alert volume, and does not require audio capture. The 2.8mm lens is the right choice for broad coverage at close to medium range, such as a residential driveway, shopfront, or open outdoor area within approximately 10-15m of the camera.
- Choose a different model if: Audio recording at the camera position is required: the microphone-equipped variant of the DS-2CD2347G2-LU is available and linked in the Additional Information section. If the monitored area requires a narrower, longer field of view, such as a deep corridor or extended driveway, the 4mm or 6mm fixed lens variants offer a tighter angle with greater reach. If the installation site does not require full-colour night vision and cost efficiency is the priority, a standard 4MP camera with IR night vision may suit the application without the ColorVu feature set.
FAQs
- Does the DS-2CD2347G2-LU have a built-in microphone?
No. This specific variant of the DS-2CD2347G2-LU has no built-in microphone and captures video only. It is suitable for sites where audio recording is not permitted or not required. If audio capture is needed, the microphone-equipped variant is available separately and is linked in the Additional Information section of this listing.
- Does ColorVu use infrared or white light at night?
ColorVu uses a built-in white LED, not infrared. This means the illumination produces colour footage rather than greyscale. The white light is visible to anyone in the scene, which can act as a deterrent. The DS-2CD2347G2-LU has no infrared mode and relies entirely on its white LED and high-sensitivity sensor for low-light imaging.
- What does AcuSense detection do on this camera?
AcuSense uses deep learning to classify detected motion as either a human, a vehicle, or neither. Motion events triggered by animals, weather, or other non-human sources are filtered, so push notifications and event recordings on a compatible NVR focus on relevant activity. This reduces the number of false triggers without requiring manual sensitivity adjustments.
- How far does the white light reach on the DS-2CD2347G2-LU?
The built-in white LED provides illumination up to 30m. Within this range, the camera can capture colour footage in conditions of total darkness. Beyond 30m, image brightness will decrease depending on ambient lighting conditions. For detection purposes, the 2.8mm lens has a DORI detect range of 65m, though colour detail at that distance will depend on available light.
- Is this camera suitable for outdoor installation in wet conditions?
Yes. The DS-2CD2347G2-LU carries an IP67 ingress protection rating, which means the housing is fully sealed against dust and can withstand sustained submersion in water up to 1m for 30 minutes. For typical outdoor Australian conditions including rain, sprinkler exposure, and coastal humidity, IP67 provides adequate protection for eave, soffit, and wall-mounted positions.
- Where can I find the datasheet and user manual for this camera?
The official user manual and DS-2CD2347G2-LU datasheet are linked in the Additional Information section at the bottom of this page. Both documents provide full technical specifications, mounting instructions, and network configuration guidance. The DS-2CD2347G2-LU is part of the Security Wholesalers range and comes with a 3-year warranty and local support.
