Product SKU: DS-2CD2347G2-LU
Product Overview
The Hikvision DS-2CD2347G2-LU is a 4MP ColorVu Gen2 fixed turret camera designed for buyers who want clear, full-colour video in areas where standard infrared cameras may only produce black-and-white night footage. With a large F1.0 aperture, white light illumination and a 1/1.8” progressive scan CMOS sensor, it is well suited to driveways, building entrances, shopfronts, office perimeters and other locations where colour detail can help identify clothing, vehicles and activity after dark. The built-in microphone adds audio capture to the video stream, while human and vehicle detection helps reduce unnecessary alerts from irrelevant motion. Available in 2.8mm, 4mm and 6mm fixed lens options, this model gives installers flexibility when choosing between wide coverage, balanced viewing or a narrower, more focused scene.
Key Capabilities
Full-Colour Night Monitoring
ColorVu technology and white light illumination allow the camera to keep important colour details visible at night. This is useful for entrances, driveways and retail areas where clothing colour, vehicle colour or scene context may matter after an event.
Human and Vehicle Detection
Deep learning-based detection helps separate people and vehicles from less useful movement, such as leaves, shadows or small animals. For most users, this makes event alerts easier to manage and playback searches more practical.
Built-In Audio Capture
The integrated microphone records sound alongside video, adding more context to incidents around doors, counters, reception areas and access points. This can help when reviewing events where conversation, impact noise or nearby activity is relevant.
Lens Options for Different Scenes
The 2.8mm lens suits wide, close-range coverage, the 4mm lens provides a more balanced view, and the 6mm lens is better for narrower, more focused monitoring. Choosing the right lens matters more than simply choosing the highest resolution.
Outdoor-Ready Turret Design
The IP67-rated housing makes this turret suitable for outdoor installations exposed to dust and rain. Its turret form factor is practical for walls, eaves and soffits where a compact camera is preferred over a larger bullet-style unit.
Best For
- Driveways and Front Entrances: Useful where colour detail at night can help identify people, vehicles and activity around the main access point.
- Retail Stores and Shopfronts: Well suited to customer-facing areas where audio, colour video and human detection can provide more useful event evidence.
- Office and Commercial Perimeters: A strong option for fixed viewing zones where reliable day/night monitoring and reduced false alerts are important.
- Homes and Small Businesses: Suitable for users who want a compact turret camera with colour night vision rather than traditional infrared-only footage.
Why Choose the DS-2CD2347G2-LU
Choose the DS-2CD2347G2-LU when colour detail at night matters more than a standard infrared image. Many basic cameras can show movement after dark, but they may not capture the colour information that helps describe clothing, vehicles or objects. This model is also a good fit when audio recording and human or vehicle filtering are needed in the same fixed turret camera. Available through Security Wholesalers, it is better suited to entry points, forecourts, driveways and visible deterrence areas than dark sites where white light illumination is not acceptable. For installations where the camera must stay discreet at night with no visible white light, an infrared model may be a better match.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: Choose the lens carefully before ordering. The 2.8mm option is best for wider, close-range areas, the 4mm option suits a more balanced view, and the 6mm option is better when you want a narrower view of a gate, path or defined approach area.
Buyer Tip: ColorVu cameras use visible white light for night-time colour imaging. This is excellent for detail and visibility, but it may not suit locations where you need completely discreet night recording without a visible light source.

Ideal Use Cases
Driveways
Use the 2.8mm or 4mm lens where broad vehicle and pedestrian coverage is needed near the front of a property.
Front Doors and Entry Points
Colour video and audio capture can help provide useful context around arrivals, deliveries and after-hours activity.
Retail Entrances
The camera suits shopfronts where full-colour evidence, people detection and a visible white light are useful.
Office Perimeters
Install around external access points where fixed coverage and reduced false alerts can simplify monitoring.
Side Paths and Narrow Areas
The 6mm lens option may suit narrower zones where a tighter field of view is preferred over wide coverage.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose the 2.8mm lens if: You need wider coverage for close-range areas such as front yards, entrances, driveways or open indoor spaces.
- Choose the 4mm lens if: You want a balanced field of view with slightly more focus than the 2.8mm option.
- Choose the 6mm lens if: You need a narrower view for a gate, corridor, side path or more focused monitoring point.
- Choose a different camera if: You need invisible infrared night recording, motorised zoom, PTZ movement or active deterrence with a strobe and speaker.
FAQs
- Is the DS-2CD2347G2-LU suitable for driveways?
Yes. The DS-2CD2347G2-LU is suitable for driveways where full-colour video, people detection and vehicle detection are useful. The 2.8mm lens is usually the better option for wider driveway coverage, while the 4mm or 6mm lens may suit a more focused entry point. Camera position still matters, especially if you need clear detail near vehicles or gates.
- Does the DS-2CD2347G2-LU record in colour at night?
Yes. This model uses ColorVu technology and white light illumination to produce colour images in low-light scenes. Unlike an infrared-only camera, it relies on visible white light to keep colour detail in the image. This is helpful for identifying clothing, vehicles and scene details, but it may not be suitable where you need completely discreet night recording.
- Which lens should I choose for the DS-2CD2347G2-LU?
Choose the 2.8mm lens for wider close-range coverage, the 4mm lens for a more balanced view, and the 6mm lens for a narrower, more focused scene. The 2.8mm option suits entrances and open areas, while the 6mm option is better for paths, gates or defined approach zones where width is less important.
- Does the DS-2CD2347G2-LU include audio?
Yes. The DS-2CD2347G2-LU includes a built-in microphone for audio capture. This can add useful context around doors, counters, reception areas and outdoor entry points. Audio recording requirements may vary depending on the installation location, so the camera should be configured and used in line with applicable privacy and recording requirements.
- How does human and vehicle detection help on this camera?
Human and vehicle detection helps the camera classify relevant movement instead of treating every motion event the same way. In real installations, this can reduce unnecessary alerts caused by trees, shadows, rain or small animals. When paired with a compatible recorder and correctly configured, it also makes event searching more practical.
- Is the DS-2CD2347G2-LU suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. The DS-2CD2347G2-LU has an IP67-rated housing, making it suitable for outdoor locations exposed to dust and rain. It is commonly used on walls, eaves and external entry points. For best results, the camera should be mounted where the lens has a clear view and the white light will not cause unwanted glare or reflections.
- Is this camera better than a standard infrared camera?
It depends on the site. The DS-2CD2347G2-LU is better when colour detail at night is important and visible white light is acceptable. A standard infrared camera may be better where the area must stay dark or where visible light could disturb neighbours, customers or residents. For product selection support, buyers can compare this model with other CCTV options supplied by Security Wholesalers.
- Can the DS-2CD2347G2-LU be used with an NVR?
Yes, this network camera is designed for use as part of an IP CCTV system and can be paired with a compatible recorder. When connected through a suitable NVR, users can record footage, review events and configure detection features. Always check recorder compatibility, channel capacity and storage requirements before adding the camera to an existing system.
