Product Overview
For installers fitting cameras at driveways, building entries and shopfronts, the DS-2CD2347G2-LU delivers 4MP ColorVu Gen2 imaging in a compact IP67-rated turret housing suited to eave, soffit and wall mounting. Equipped with a large F1.0 aperture lens and a 1/1.8″ progressive scan CMOS sensor rated to 0.0005 Lux, it maintains colour detail in very low-light scenes using white light illumination reaching up to 40 metres. Built with AcuSense deep learning technology, it classifies human and vehicle movement separately from other triggers, making event alerts and playback searches more manageable. It also includes a built-in microphone for audio capture alongside the video stream, adding context to incidents at entry points, counters and reception areas. Available in 2.8mm, 4mm and 6mm fixed lens options, this model suits a range of scene widths from open driveways to narrower access paths.
Key Capabilities
Full-Colour Night Imaging
ColorVu technology combines a wide F1.0 aperture, a large 1/1.8″ sensor and white light illumination to keep colour visible in dark scenes. This is useful at driveways, shopfronts and entry points where identifying clothing colour, vehicle colour or scene context matters after hours.
AcuSense Human and Vehicle Detection
Deep learning-based motion classification filters people and vehicles from less relevant movement such as shadows, leaves or animals. This reduces unnecessary alert volume and makes it easier to locate relevant events during playback on a compatible recorder.
Built-In Microphone
The integrated microphone records audio alongside video, adding useful context to incidents at doors, counters and access points. This can assist when reviewing events where conversation, impact noise or nearby activity is relevant to the recorded footage.
IP67-Rated Turret Housing
The IP67-rated housing protects against dust ingress and rain exposure, making this turret practical for outdoor eave, soffit and wall positions. Its compact form factor sits flush against the mounting surface, which suits residential and commercial installations where a low-profile camera is preferred.
130dB Wide Dynamic Range
True 130dB WDR helps the camera handle scenes with both bright and shadowed areas in the same frame, such as an entry doorway with strong backlight or a driveway that mixes sunlight and shade. This reduces overexposed or crushed areas in the image.
Best For
- Driveways and Front Entries: Full-colour imaging and white light illumination up to 40 metres help capture useful detail about vehicles and people arriving at a property after dark.
- Shopfronts and Retail Entrances: The combination of colour video, audio capture and human detection produces more complete event evidence in customer-facing areas.
- Office and Commercial Perimeters: AcuSense filtering and fixed turret mounting make this a practical option for external access points where consistent day and night coverage is needed without heavy alert volumes.
- Residential Eave and Soffit Positions: The compact IP67-rated turret housing sits cleanly against a surface, making it suitable for homeowners who want colour night coverage without a larger bullet-style camera.
Why Choose the DS-2CD2347G2-LU
The DS-2CD2347G2-LU is worth selecting when a fixed turret camera needs to do more than simply detect motion. Many standard cameras capture black-and-white infrared footage at night, while this model uses ColorVu Gen2 technology to keep colour visible using white light illumination. The 1/1.8″ sensor and F1.0 aperture both contribute to the 0.0005 Lux low-light rating, which means the camera can draw on ambient light before switching to white LEDs. Adding AcuSense classification and a built-in microphone in the same unit reduces the need for separate audio devices at monitored entry points. Available through Security Wholesalers, this model suits locations where colour evidence, motion filtering and audio context are all needed from a single compact outdoor camera. Sites where visible white light at night is not acceptable may be better matched to an infrared turret instead.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: Select the lens focal length based on the scene width and distance before ordering. The 2.8mm lens (103 degrees horizontal) suits wide, close-range areas such as driveways and open entry zones. The 4mm lens (86 degrees) offers a more balanced view for general coverage. The 6mm lens (53 degrees) works better for narrower zones such as side paths, gates or defined approach corridors where width matters less than reach.
Buyer Tip: ColorVu cameras produce colour night footage using visible white LEDs. If the installation is near a bedroom window, a neighbour’s property boundary or any location where a constant low-level light at night may cause concern, confirm this is acceptable before committing to a ColorVu model. Sites where the camera must remain completely discreet after dark are better matched to an infrared-only camera.

Ideal Use Cases
Residential Driveways
The 2.8mm or 4mm lens suits wide driveway coverage where full-colour imaging and white light illumination to 40 metres help capture vehicle and person detail after dark.
Front Door and Entry Monitoring
The built-in microphone and colour video combine to provide more complete records of arrivals, deliveries and after-hours activity at residential and commercial entry points.
Retail Shopfronts
AcuSense human detection and colour night footage make this turret a practical fit for customer-facing areas where event evidence and alert management both matter.
Commercial Perimeter Access Points
The IP67-rated turret housing and fixed lens options make this camera suited to external wall and eave positions around office buildings, warehouses and small commercial sites.
Narrow Side Paths and Gate Approaches
The 6mm lens option focuses on a tighter field of view, making it useful for side access paths, pedestrian gates or defined approach corridors where a wide angle would waste coverage.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose the 2.8mm version if: You need the widest coverage angle for close-range areas such as open driveways, building entrances or eave positions where a broad field of view matters most.
- Choose the 4mm version if: You want a more balanced field of view that works well for general outdoor monitoring without the very wide angle of the 2.8mm option.
- Choose the 6mm version if: You need a narrower, more focused view for a gate entry, side path or defined corridor where scene width is less important than depth.
- Choose a different model if: You need the camera to remain completely dark at night with no visible light, require motorised zoom to adjust the field of view after installation, or need active deterrence with a built-in siren and strobe.
FAQs
- Does the DS-2CD2347G2-LU produce colour footage at night?
Yes. This model uses ColorVu Gen2 technology with a white light LED and a large F1.0 aperture to keep colour visible in low-light scenes. Unlike infrared cameras that switch to black-and-white at night, the DS-2CD2347G2-LU maintains colour detail in darkness, which can help with identifying clothing, vehicle colour and other scene information after dark.
- Where is the turret housing best suited for mounting?
The compact IP67-rated turret design is well suited to eave, soffit and wall mounting at residential and commercial properties. It sits flush against the mounting surface without the protruding profile of a bullet camera, making it a practical choice for driveways, shopfronts, building entries and external access points where a lower-profile camera is preferred.
- Which lens should I order for a standard driveway installation?
The 2.8mm lens is the most common choice for driveways and open entry zones, offering a 103-degree horizontal field of view at close to medium range. The 4mm lens suits a slightly more focused view at 86 degrees, while the 6mm lens at 53 degrees is better for narrower scenes. Lens choice should be made before purchase as the fixed focal length cannot be adjusted after installation.
- Does the camera have two-way audio?
No. The DS-2CD2347G2-LU includes a built-in microphone for audio recording and monitoring, but it does not have a built-in speaker. This means it can capture and record audio at the installation point, but it does not support voice communication back through the camera itself.
- What does AcuSense detection do on this camera?
AcuSense uses deep learning to classify detected movement as human or vehicle rather than treating all motion the same way. In outdoor locations such as driveways and commercial perimeters, this can reduce unnecessary alerts triggered by wind, shadows or animals. When the camera is connected to a compatible Hikvision NVR, event searches can also be filtered by human or vehicle targets to speed up footage review.
- Is the DS-2CD2347G2-LU suitable for outdoor use in wet conditions?
Yes. The camera carries an IP67 rating, which means it is protected against dust ingress and submersion in water up to 1 metre for up to 30 minutes. In practical outdoor terms, this makes it suitable for exposed eave, soffit and wall positions that may be subject to rain, dust and varying weather conditions.
- Will the white light cause issues near neighbours or bedroom windows?
This depends on the installation position. The white LEDs are visible at night and illuminate the scene to assist colour imaging. If the camera is mounted near a boundary fence, a neighbour’s property or a bedroom window, the light output at night may be noticeable. For locations where visible light at night is not suitable, an infrared-only camera would be a more appropriate choice. Buyers can discuss placement and product selection options through Security Wholesalers before ordering.
