Product Overview
Combining active deterrence with full-colour night vision and two-way audio, the DS-2CD2347G2-LSU/SL is a Gen2 ColorVu AcuSense turret camera built for eave, soffit and wall mounting at driveways, shopfronts, warehouse access points and residential perimeters. Featuring a 2.8mm fixed lens and 30m white LED illumination, this model captures colour detail after dark without relying on infrared, making scene content easier to interpret during after-hours review. Equipped with AcuSense human and vehicle classification, it can filter out irrelevant motion and focus event alerts on what matters. The Gen2 platform also incorporates a built-in speaker alongside the microphone, enabling two-way audio for live verbal interaction and remote deterrence. With IP67 weather protection and support for PoE or 12V DC power, the DS-2CD2347G2-LSU/SL suits outdoor installations where colour evidence, smart filtering and real-time response are all priorities.
Key Capabilities
Gen2 ColorVu Full-Colour Night Vision
The Gen2 ColorVu sensor delivers colour imaging at night using white light illumination with a minimum illumination of 0.0005 Lux at F1.0. This helps retain detail such as clothing colour, vehicle colour and environmental context that black-and-white footage would otherwise lose.
AcuSense Event Filtering
Human and vehicle classification helps separate relevant motion from background movement caused by foliage, shadows or small animals. For eave-mounted cameras covering driveways and entry paths, this can significantly reduce unwanted alert volume and keep monitoring focused.
Live-Guard Active Deterrence
The integrated strobe light and audio alarm create a visible and audible on-site response when triggered. This allows the camera to act as more than a passive recorder, providing a real-time warning at entry points, gates and exposed outdoor areas where presence can matter.
Two-Way Audio
With both a built-in microphone and speaker confirmed on the Gen2 platform, the DS-2CD2347G2-LSU/SL supports live two-way communication. This enables remote verbal interaction with people at a gate, shopfront or delivery area directly through compatible software or a connected recorder.
2.8mm Wide-Angle Coverage
The fixed 2.8mm lens provides a broad field of view suited to close-range areas such as driveways, courtyards, shopfronts and building corners where wide scene coverage from a single eave or soffit mount is preferred over a narrower focused shot.
PoE-Ready Outdoor Installation
IP67 weather protection and 802.3af Class 3 PoE support make permanent outdoor mounting straightforward. Running a single network cable to the camera location can reduce install complexity compared to separate power and data cabling, particularly on residential and small commercial sites.
Best For
- Residential Driveways: The 2.8mm lens covers wide close-range approaches while white LED illumination retains colour vehicle and clothing detail after dark.
- Retail Entrances and Shopfronts: AcuSense filtering and Live-Guard deterrence make this a practical choice for after-hours entry monitoring where genuine event alerts matter.
- Warehouse and Yard Access Points: Human and vehicle classification helps manage alert volume at busy pedestrian and vehicle entry zones where standard motion detection would generate too many false triggers.
- Gates and Side Paths: The turret housing suits eave and soffit mounting at narrow access points where a fixed wide-angle view and visible strobe response can be effective.
Why Choose the DS-2CD2347G2-LSU/SL
The DS-2CD2347G2-LSU/SL goes beyond a standard colour night camera by combining Gen2 ColorVu imaging, AcuSense classification, Live-Guard deterrence and confirmed two-way audio in a single turret housing. A basic fixed camera can record a scene, but this model is designed for situations where colour detail, smart event filtering, an audible on-site warning and live voice communication are all needed from one camera position. The Gen2 sensor achieves 0.0005 Lux minimum illumination, and the 4MP 2688×1520 resolution supports usable detail across the 2.8mm field of view. Local onboard storage up to 256GB via microSD provides a fallback recording option alongside NVR-based systems. Available through Security Wholesalers, the DS-2CD2347G2-LSU/SL suits buyers who need a capable active-deterrence turret camera without moving to a larger or more complex format.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: The white LED illumination on this camera is always visible at night, which is part of its deterrence value but also means it is not a discreet after-dark option. If the installation site requires covert night monitoring without visible lighting, an infrared-only camera would be more appropriate. For driveways, gates and shopfronts where visible presence is acceptable or desirable, the white LED and strobe combination on the DS-2CD2347G2-LSU/SL is well suited to the task.
Buyer Tip: Two-way audio on this model requires a compatible NVR or VMS that supports two-way audio communication through the camera. Confirm your recorder or software supports this feature before relying on live voice interaction as part of your setup.

Ideal Use Cases
Residential Driveways
Mount under an eave at the driveway entry to capture colour vehicle and pedestrian detail at night using 30m white LED illumination, while AcuSense filtering keeps alerts relevant and the strobe provides an on-site deterrent response.
Retail and Hospitality Entrances
Position at shopfront entries where after-hours colour monitoring, Live-Guard deterrence and two-way audio access from a remote device make the camera useful across trading and non-trading hours.
Warehouse Pedestrian Entries
Human and vehicle AcuSense classification helps manage event alert volume in busy access zones where constant movement would otherwise generate excessive notifications with standard motion detection.
Side Gates and Access Paths
The turret housing and 2.8mm wide-angle view cover narrow side access areas from a wall or fence-line mount, with the strobe and audio alarm providing a visible warning response when triggered.
Small Business Perimeters
For offices, workshops and small commercial sites, the IP67 rating and PoE support allow permanent outdoor installation at building corners and exposed exterior walls without the need for separate power runs.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need full-colour night recording, AcuSense human and vehicle filtering, active strobe and audio deterrence, and confirmed two-way audio capability in a single outdoor turret camera on the Gen2 platform.
- Choose this model if: Your installation requires a wide close-range field of view from an eave or soffit and white LED illumination is acceptable or desirable at the location.
- Choose a different model if: You need covert infrared-only night monitoring where visible white light is not suitable for the site or the camera position requires a narrower focused lens beyond 2.8mm.
- Choose a different model if: Your application requires remote pan, tilt or zoom control, which would point toward a PTZ camera format rather than a fixed turret.
FAQs
- What does Gen2 mean on the DS-2CD2347G2-LSU/SL compared to the earlier model?
The G2 designation indicates the second-generation ColorVu AcuSense platform. On this model, the Gen2 version includes a confirmed built-in speaker alongside the microphone, enabling two-way audio support that was not available on the original version. The Gen2 platform also maintains the same 0.0005 Lux minimum illumination performance with the F1.0 aperture sensor.
- Does the DS-2CD2347G2-LSU/SL support two-way audio?
Yes. This model includes both a built-in microphone and a built-in speaker, allowing two-way audio communication. To use this feature for live voice interaction, you need a compatible NVR, VMS or monitoring software that supports two-way audio through the camera. The microphone also records ambient audio alongside video for event review purposes.
- Is the white LED always on at night, or does it only activate on detection?
The white LED behaviour can typically be configured through the camera settings or connected NVR. It can operate in always-on mode for continuous colour illumination, or trigger on motion or AcuSense detection events. The specific configuration options depend on the firmware version and the management software or recorder being used.
- What field of view does the 2.8mm lens provide?
The 2.8mm lens on the DS-2CD2347G2-LSU/SL provides an approximate 109 degree horizontal field of view, making it suited to wide close-range coverage. This works well for driveways, courtyards, shopfronts and building corners where broad scene capture from a single mounting point is the priority.
- How does the Live-Guard deterrence work in practice?
When the camera detects a human or vehicle within a configured zone, the Live-Guard function can trigger the built-in strobe light and audio alarm to create a visible and audible on-site warning. This requires correct configuration through the camera interface or a connected recorder. The deterrence response is designed to draw attention to the alert rather than to silently record the event.
- Can the DS-2CD2347G2-LSU/SL record locally without an NVR?
Yes. This camera supports onboard microSD, SDHC and SDXC card storage up to 256GB, allowing local recording independent of a recorder. This can serve as a standalone recording option for simple setups or as a backup layer in systems where an NVR handles primary storage. Most multi-camera installations will still benefit from centralised NVR management for easier playback and event search.
- Is this camera suitable for mounting under a roofline on a residential property?
Yes. The turret housing and IP67 weather rating make the DS-2CD2347G2-LSU/SL well suited to eave and soffit mounting on residential and small commercial buildings. The 2.8mm lens works best when positioned to cover a wide area at moderate range, such as the full width of a driveway or entry zone, rather than a single narrow path at distance. Mounting height and angle will influence how effectively AcuSense classifies detections in the scene. Security Wholesalers supplies this model as part of the Hikvision Gen2 ColorVu AcuSense range for exactly these types of outdoor installations.
