Product Overview
Combining full-colour night imaging with AcuSense smart detection and a built-in microphone, the DS-2CD2347G2-LU is a 4MP ColorVu Gen2 turret camera built for eave, soffit and wall mounting around driveways, shopfronts, office entries and small business exteriors. Featuring a 1/1.8″ progressive scan CMOS sensor with an F1.0 large aperture and white LED illumination reaching up to 40m, it captures colour footage around the clock rather than switching to black-and-white at night. The fixed 4mm lens delivers an 86° horizontal field of view suited to medium-distance monitoring of entrance areas and vehicle approaches. AcuSense filters motion alerts to humans and vehicles, reducing nuisance triggers from rain, animals and shadows. Built to IP67, it handles outdoor conditions and is listed as a clearance item, making it a practical option for buyers wanting proven ColorVu Gen2 performance at a clearance price point.
Key Capabilities
Full-Colour Night Imaging
ColorVu technology, combined with a 1/1.8″ sensor and F1.0 large aperture, produces colour footage day and night without switching to monochrome. This is useful for identifying clothing, vehicle colour and scene context during after-hours event review.
AcuSense Human and Vehicle Classification
AcuSense deep learning focuses motion alerts on people and vehicles rather than every movement in the frame. This reduces false triggers from wind, rain, animals and shadows, making alert notifications more actionable for everyday outdoor monitoring.
Built-In Microphone for Audio Recording
The integrated microphone records ambient audio alongside video footage. This adds situational context for incidents at doorways, driveways and shop entries, and can be useful when reviewing what occurred before or during an event.
130dB WDR for Backlit Scenes
Wide dynamic range at 130dB helps retain detail in scenes where bright and dark areas occur together, such as covered entry porches, shopfronts with strong daylight behind subjects, or car parks with overhead lighting and deep shadows.
IP67 Outdoor Turret Housing
The IP67-rated turret form factor suits eave, soffit and wall mounting at residential and commercial properties. The compact housing profile sits neatly in visible locations where a low-profile camera is preferred over a larger bullet design.
Best For
- Driveways and Gates: The 4mm lens gives a focused view suited to identifying people and vehicles approaching from a medium distance, supported by AcuSense classification and colour night footage.
- Shopfronts and Retail Entries: Useful for monitoring pedestrian and customer access with full-colour imaging and audio capture where permitted, particularly during early morning or after-hours periods.
- Office and Business Entrances: Suitable for exterior access doors and covered entry areas where colour footage and audio context add value to incident review.
- Small Business Exteriors: A practical fit for side doors, service areas and outdoor access points where a compact turret camera with colour night vision and smart detection is needed.
Why Choose the DS-2CD2347G2-LU
The DS-2CD2347G2-LU earns its place where colour evidence, smart detection and audio recording matter more than conventional infrared-only monitoring. The 1/1.8″ sensor with F1.0 aperture captures more light than smaller-sensor alternatives, and the 40m white light range supports usable colour footage well beyond the immediate mounting area. AcuSense classification means motion alerts point to genuine human or vehicle activity rather than every passing leaf or shadow. The built-in microphone adds audio context that a basic camera without onboard audio cannot provide. With a clearance price and proven ColorVu Gen2 performance, it offers strong value for buyers who need these capabilities at an accessible cost. Available at Security Wholesalers, it suits both residential installs and small commercial sites where colour night imaging and smart alerts are a priority.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: The 4mm lens gives a balanced field of view suited to driveways, footpaths and entry doors where the subject area is at medium distance from the camera. If your mounting point is very close to a wide area such as a large yard or broad shopfront, a shorter focal length would give wider coverage. If the target zone is a narrow gate or longer approach, a longer focal length would give more reach.
Buyer Tip: This camera uses white LED illumination for colour night recording, not infrared. The white light is visible at night, which means it functions as a soft light source rather than a discreet illuminator. If your installation requires completely invisible night lighting, this model is not the right fit. If visible illumination is acceptable, it delivers colour footage in conditions where IR-only cameras would show greyscale.

Ideal Use Cases
Residential Driveways
The 4mm lens and AcuSense vehicle detection make this a considered fit for residential driveways where colour identification of approaching cars and people after dark is useful, without the wider coverage of a shorter focal length.
Retail Shopfronts
Full-colour imaging and the built-in microphone support after-hours monitoring of shopfront entries where colour clothing detail and ambient audio can assist event review or incident documentation.
Office Entrance Areas
Eave or soffit mounting near external office doors benefits from ColorVu colour imaging and 130dB WDR, which handles backlit entry scenes where a glass door or strong daylight creates contrast challenges.
Side Access Paths
Side paths and narrow walkways between buildings suit the balanced 86° field of view from the 4mm lens, covering the path width without the distortion or excessive scene breadth of a very wide-angle option.
Small Business Service Areas
Rear access doors, loading areas and workshop entries benefit from the IP67 outdoor housing, white light illumination for colour footage, and AcuSense filtering to keep alerts relevant in busy or wind-exposed locations.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need full-colour night footage, AcuSense human and vehicle detection, audio recording via the built-in microphone, and a balanced 4mm field of view for driveways, shopfronts, office entries or side paths.
- Choose a wider lens if: Your mounting point is close to a broad area such as a large open yard, wide shopfront or short-distance carport where an 86° horizontal view would miss coverage on either side.
- Choose a different model if: You need infrared-only discreet night vision, active deterrence with a strobe or audible siren, a speaker for two-way audio communication, or a camera with an IK vandal rating for exposed indoor ceiling mounting.
FAQs
- Does the DS-2CD2347G2-LU record in colour at night?
Yes. This model uses ColorVu technology with an F1.0 large aperture and white LED illumination to produce full-colour footage in low-light conditions. Unlike infrared cameras that switch to greyscale after dark, it retains colour throughout the night. The white light is visible when active, so it is not a discreet illuminator.
- What does the 4mm lens cover on a driveway or entry?
The 4mm lens provides an 86° horizontal field of view, which works well for medium-distance monitoring of driveways, pedestrian paths and entry doors. It gives more scene focus than a 2.8mm wide-angle lens while still covering a useful area. The DORI data lists a recognition distance of 14m, so subject identification is practical within that range.
- Does this camera have a built-in microphone?
Yes. The DS-2CD2347G2-LU includes a built-in microphone for audio recording alongside video. This provides ambient sound capture that can be useful when reviewing footage of incidents near doors, driveways or shop entries. Audio recording must be enabled in the camera settings and must comply with local laws regarding audio surveillance.
- Does this model support two-way audio?
No. The DS-2CD2347G2-LU has a built-in microphone for audio capture only. No built-in speaker is listed for this model, so real-time two-way voice communication is not supported out of the box. It should not be selected if two-way audio is a requirement for the installation.
- How does AcuSense affect alert frequency?
AcuSense uses deep learning to focus detection events on humans and vehicles rather than any motion in the frame. In practical terms, this means that movement from rain, animals, blowing vegetation or light changes is less likely to generate an alert. For outdoor cameras in exposed locations, this can substantially reduce the volume of nuisance notifications and make event review more manageable.
- Is the DS-2CD2347G2-LU suitable for eave or soffit mounting?
Yes. The turret housing is designed for wall, eave and soffit mounting in outdoor locations. The IP67 rating means it handles weather exposure at residential and commercial properties. The adjustable ball-and-socket turret head allows the lens direction to be set at installation without needing to reposition the base mount.
- What is the white light illumination range, and does it affect privacy?
The white LED illumination is listed up to 40m. Unlike infrared, white light is visible to anyone in the scene and acts as a soft light source after dark. In most residential and commercial settings this is acceptable, but buyers installing in locations where light spill onto neighbouring properties could be an issue should consider the mounting angle carefully. Security Wholesalers recommends confirming the mounting position before finalising the installation.
