Product SKU: DS-2CD2347LSU-SL
Product Overview
The Hikvision DS-2CD2347LSU-SL is a 4MP ColorVu AcuSense Live-Guard fixed turret camera designed for buyers who want full-colour night recording, accurate human and vehicle detection, and on-site deterrence in one compact outdoor camera. It suits homes, driveways, retail entrances, warehouse access points and commercial areas where standard motion detection may create too many false alerts. Instead of infrared-only night vision, this model uses white light illumination to help maintain colour detail after dark. With a built-in microphone, audio alarm, strobe light, 2.8mm or 4mm lens options, IP67 weather protection and PoE support, it is a practical choice for installations where visible deterrence and useful event detail matter.
Key Capabilities
Full-Colour Night Recording
ColorVu technology helps the camera capture colour detail at night using white light illumination. This is useful when reviewing clothing colour, vehicle colour or scene details that may be harder to interpret in black-and-white footage.
AcuSense Event Filtering
Human and vehicle classification helps reduce unwanted motion alerts caused by irrelevant movement such as trees, shadows or small animals. This makes alerts more useful for driveways, shopfronts and external access areas.
Live-Guard Deterrence
The built-in strobe and audio alarm allow the camera to provide an active warning response when configured correctly. This is useful in visible entry points where deterring activity matters as much as recording it.
Built-In Microphone
The integrated microphone records ambient audio, adding more context to video events. This can help when reviewing activity near doors, gates, shopfronts or other areas where sound may support visual evidence.
Flexible Lens Choice
The 2.8mm and 4mm lens options let buyers match the camera to the scene. Choose 2.8mm for wider close-range coverage, or 4mm for a more focused view of gates, paths and entry points.
Outdoor PoE Installation
With IP67 weather protection and 12V DC or PoE support, the DS-2CD2347LSU-SL is suited to permanent outdoor installation. PoE can simplify cabling when paired with a compatible network recorder or PoE switch.
Best For
- Driveways: Useful for capturing colour vehicle detail while using strobe and audio warnings as a deterrent.
- Retail Entrances: A strong fit for shopfronts where after-hours visibility, event filtering and audio context are valuable.
- Warehouse Access Points: Suitable for roller doors, pedestrian entries and delivery areas where people and vehicle detection can reduce false alerts.
- Side Paths and Gates: Works well where a fixed view, visible warning light and colour footage can help monitor narrow access areas.
- Homes and Small Businesses: Ideal for buyers wanting more than basic recording without moving to a larger PTZ-style camera.
Why Choose the DS-2CD2347LSU-SL
The DS-2CD2347LSU-SL is worth choosing when colour evidence, smart event filtering and visible deterrence are more important than a simple low-cost camera. A standard IR camera can capture useful footage at night, but this model is better suited to areas where colour detail and a proactive warning response may help prevent or clarify incidents. The built-in microphone also adds context that video alone may miss. As part of the Security Wholesalers range, it suits buyers who want a capable fixed turret camera for entrances, driveways and exposed outdoor areas without overcomplicating the installation.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: This model uses white light for colour night performance rather than traditional infrared night vision. It is a good choice where visible lighting is acceptable, but it may not suit areas where you need very discreet night monitoring.
Buyer Tip: Choose the 2.8mm lens for wider close-range coverage across a driveway, yard or shopfront. Choose the 4mm lens when the scene is narrower and you need a more focused view of an entry, gate or pathway.

Ideal Use Cases
Driveways
Install near vehicle entry points where colour footage, vehicle filtering and visible deterrence can improve event review.
Retail Shopfronts
Use near front doors, windows or after-hours access points where colour visibility and warning responses are helpful.
Warehouse Doors
A practical option for loading entries, roller doors and movement zones where people and vehicle detection can reduce unnecessary alerts.
Side Access Paths
The fixed turret format works well along walkways, side gates and narrow external paths where a focused warning response may be useful.
Small Business Entrances
Suitable for offices, workshops and small commercial sites needing fixed coverage with colour footage and smart event filtering.
External Building Perimeters
Use around exposed outdoor areas where IP67 protection and reliable event detection are important.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose the 2.8mm lens if: You need a wider view across a close-range area such as a driveway, shopfront, courtyard or small yard.
- Choose the 4mm lens if: You want a more focused view of an entry point, gate, corridor or path where the subject is slightly further from the camera.
- Choose this model if: You want colour night recording, a built-in microphone, human and vehicle filtering, and strobe/audio deterrence in one turret camera.
- Choose a different model if: You need discreet infrared-only night recording, remote pan/tilt/zoom control, or two-way audio with a built-in speaker for live voice communication.
FAQs
- Is the DS-2CD2347LSU-SL suitable for a driveway?
Yes. The DS-2CD2347LSU-SL is suitable for driveways where colour night footage, human and vehicle detection, and visible deterrence are useful. The 2.8mm lens is usually better for a wider driveway view, while the 4mm lens suits a more focused view of a gate, vehicle path or entry point.
- Does this camera use infrared night vision?
No. The DS-2CD2347LSU-SL uses white light rather than infrared for night-time colour recording. This is important for buyers who want full-colour footage after dark, but it also means the camera is more visible at night than a discreet IR-only camera. That visibility can be useful for deterrence.
- What is the difference between the 2.8mm and 4mm lens options?
The 2.8mm lens gives a wider approximate 109° horizontal field of view, making it better for broad close-range coverage. The 4mm lens gives a narrower approximate 91° horizontal view, which can be better for focused monitoring of gates, corridors or paths. The right lens depends on scene width and camera placement.
- Does the DS-2CD2347LSU-SL record audio?
Yes. This model includes a built-in microphone, allowing it to record ambient audio alongside video when configured correctly and where local requirements permit. Audio can add useful context when reviewing activity near doors, driveways or shopfronts, but this camera should not be confused with a two-way audio model that has live speaker communication.
- What does Live-Guard do on this camera?
Live-Guard provides active deterrence using a strobe light and audio alarm. Instead of only recording an event, the DS-2CD2347LSU-SL can create a visible and audible warning response when triggered. This is helpful for entry points, yards and shopfronts where discouraging activity in real time is part of the security goal.
- How does AcuSense help reduce false alerts?
AcuSense helps classify human and vehicle movement so the system can focus on more relevant events. This can reduce nuisance alerts caused by moving branches, shadows or small animals. For best results, it should be configured through a compatible recorder or software setup, with detection areas adjusted to suit the actual camera view.
- Is this camera suitable for outdoor installation?
Yes. The DS-2CD2347LSU-SL has an IP67 rating, making it suitable for outdoor areas such as driveways, shopfronts, warehouse entries and building perimeters. As with any fixed camera, the final result depends on correct mounting height, lens selection, lighting conditions and the direction the camera faces.
- Can this camera be powered by PoE?
Yes. The DS-2CD2347LSU-SL supports PoE using 802.3af Class 3, as well as 12V DC power. For most network CCTV installations supplied by Security Wholesalers, PoE is often the cleaner option because it can carry power and data through a single network cable when used with compatible equipment.
- Does this model support onboard storage?
Yes. The DS-2CD2347LSU-SL supports microSD, SDHC and SDXC card storage up to 256GB. Onboard storage can be useful for local recording or backup, but many buyers still pair the camera with a compatible NVR for easier playback, longer retention and centralised management across multiple cameras.
