Product Overview
Combining full-colour night vision with deep learning classification, the DS-2CD2367G2-LU is a 6MP ColorVu Gen 2 turret camera built for eave, soffit, and wall-mounted outdoor installations. Equipped with a 2.8mm fixed lens and warm white LED illumination reaching up to 40m, this camera produces vivid colour footage around the clock, even in complete darkness. AcuSense technology uses deep learning to distinguish people and vehicles from background movement such as animals, rain, and foliage, reducing unnecessary alert activity and making event review far more efficient. The built-in microphone adds on-site audio capture to complement the 6MP image detail. With 130dB wide dynamic range and H.265+ compression, the DS-2CD2367G2-LU is well suited to driveways, shopfronts, car parks, and residential exteriors where consistent colour imaging and intelligent detection are both required.
Key Capabilities
6MP Full-Colour Imaging
The 6MP sensor captures fine scene detail across driveways, entries, and open areas, delivering footage sharp enough to identify faces at recognition range and read number plates within the DORI detection distance of 84m at 2.8mm.
ColorVu White LED Illumination
The warm white LED projects up to 40m, flooding the scene with visible light in zero-lux conditions and ensuring colour footage is maintained 24 hours a day. This is especially useful on unlit driveways and dark side-access areas where monochrome IR footage would otherwise be the only option.
AcuSense Deep Learning Classification
Powered by deep learning algorithms, AcuSense differentiates people and vehicles from other movement sources including animals, blowing leaves, and rain. This improves the accuracy of motion-triggered alerts and significantly speeds up post-event searching.
130dB Wide Dynamic Range
The 130dB WDR rating allows the camera to handle scenes with strong backlighting, such as a shopfront entrance facing the sun or a driveway with headlight glare, while retaining visible detail in both the bright and shadowed areas of the frame.
Built-In Microphone
The onboard microphone captures ambient audio alongside the video stream, adding a useful layer of context to recorded events. This supports installations where audio logging is a requirement without the need for an external microphone accessory.
H.265+ Compression
H.265+ reduces bandwidth consumption and storage requirements compared to older compression formats, making it practical to run this 6MP camera on existing network infrastructure and record longer periods without upgrading storage capacity.
Best For
- Residential Driveways and Entries: The 2.8mm wide-angle lens and 40m white LED coverage are well matched to short-to-medium approach distances, capturing colour detail on pedestrians and vehicles entering or leaving a property.
- Shopfronts and Retail Exteriors: The combination of 6MP resolution and 130dB WDR handles the contrast between interior lighting and outdoor daylight, while AcuSense keeps alert activity relevant by filtering non-human movement.
- Small Business Car Parks: Full-colour night imaging across a 40m range allows vehicle colour and activity to be logged after hours, supporting incident review even when site lighting is minimal.
- Eave and Soffit Mounting: The turret housing sits flush and directional against the mounting surface, making it straightforward to angle precisely toward the intended coverage area from an eave or soffit position.
Why Choose the DS-2CD2367G2-LU
The DS-2CD2367G2-LU steps beyond standard colour cameras by pairing ColorVu Gen 2 white LED illumination with AcuSense deep learning in a single 6MP turret body. Entry-level colour cameras may produce colour footage at night but lack any classification intelligence, meaning every passing car or rustling branch triggers the same alert. The AcuSense engine in this model filters that noise at the source, so operators and homeowners receive only human and vehicle events. The 6MP sensor also provides a meaningful resolution advantage over 2MP and 4MP alternatives, delivering usable face and plate detail within the DORI recognition range of 16m at 2.8mm. The built-in microphone adds audio logging without additional hardware. For installers and end users looking for a capable, full-colour outdoor turret at a competitive price point, the DS-2CD2367G2-LU is available at Security Wholesalers with local warranty and support backing.
Buyer Decision Tips
Lens Coverage vs. Detail: The 2.8mm fixed lens provides a wide field of view, which suits entries, driveways, and open areas monitored at close to medium range. At 2.8mm the DORI identification distance is 8m, meaning positive face identification requires subjects to be within approximately 8m of the camera. If your primary objective is identifying individuals at greater distances, consider a 4mm variant for a tighter field and extended identification range.
White LED Visibility: The ColorVu white LED illuminates visibly when activated, meaning it emits a soft warm light that is noticeable in the dark. This is appropriate for deterrence-oriented outdoor installations but is not suitable for covert monitoring applications where the camera’s presence should go undetected. If discrete low-light capture is required, a camera with infrared illumination would be more appropriate.

Ideal Use Cases
Residential Driveways
The 2.8mm wide-angle coverage combined with 40m white LED range captures vehicles and pedestrians approaching a property entry in full colour, day and night. AcuSense filters out animal and foliage movement that would otherwise create unnecessary notification activity.
Shopfront Monitoring
The 130dB WDR handles the contrast typical of shopfront scenes, where interior light spills into a brighter outdoor environment. The 6MP sensor retains sufficient detail for reviewing customer and pedestrian activity at the entry point.
After-Hours Car Park Coverage
In low-light or unlit car parks, the ColorVu white LED sustains colour imagery up to 40m, logging vehicle colours and movement that would be lost with standard IR cameras. Human and vehicle classification keeps after-hours alerts relevant and actionable.
Side-Access Lanes and Perimeter Paths
Eave or wall-mounted on a side access lane, the turret housing allows the camera to be angled precisely along the path without the need for an adjustable bracket, covering the full length of a narrow approach corridor.
Small Business Exteriors
For cafes, warehouses, offices, and service businesses requiring a single camera to cover the main entrance or yard area, the DS-2CD2367G2-LU provides 6MP colour detail, audio capture via the built-in microphone, and intelligent detection in a compact outdoor housing.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need 24/7 full-colour outdoor footage with AcuSense human and vehicle classification, a built-in microphone, and 6MP resolution at a wide-angle 2.8mm focal length for driveways, shopfronts, or eave-mounted applications.
- Choose a different model if: Your installation requires covert night-time monitoring, as the ColorVu white LED emits visible light when active and is not appropriate for applications where the camera must operate without being noticed.
- Choose a different model if: The primary detection zone is a long corridor or approach beyond 16m where face identification is required, as the 2.8mm identification range of 8m may not meet that requirement. A narrower fixed lens would extend the identification distance for the same resolution sensor.
- Choose a different model if: Real-time voice communication from the camera position is a project requirement. The DS-2CD2367G2-LU includes a microphone for audio recording but does not include a built-in speaker, so two-way audio communication is not supported.
FAQs
- Does the DS-2CD2367G2-LU record colour footage at night without any external lighting?
Yes. The built-in white LED illuminator projects up to 40m and activates automatically in low-light conditions, producing full-colour footage even in complete darkness. No external lighting is required to achieve colour night imagery. - What does AcuSense actually do on this camera?
AcuSense uses a deep learning engine to classify motion events as either human, vehicle, or other. Movement caused by animals, rain, swaying trees, or insects is categorised separately from people and vehicle events. This means alerts and search results can be filtered to show only the event types that matter to the operator, reducing time spent reviewing irrelevant footage. - Is the 2.8mm lens suitable for monitoring a full driveway?
The 2.8mm lens provides a wide field of view and suits applications where the camera is mounted 3m to 5m above ground and the area of interest is within 10m to 20m of the camera position. For a standard residential driveway or shopfront entry, the 2.8mm coverage is appropriate. For longer approaches where face identification at distance is needed, a 4mm lens would extend the DORI identification range. - Does the built-in microphone support two-way audio?
No. The DS-2CD2367G2-LU includes a built-in microphone for audio recording and logging alongside the video stream. It does not include a built-in speaker, so it cannot receive or project audio from the camera position. Two-way voice communication is not a feature of this model. - What compression does this camera use and does it affect storage requirements?
The DS-2CD2367G2-LU uses H.265+ compression, which is significantly more efficient than H.264 at the same quality level. For a 6MP camera running 24 hours, H.265+ substantially reduces the bitrate compared to older formats, allowing longer retention periods on the same storage capacity or reducing NVR storage requirements at installation planning stage. - Can this camera be wall-mounted rather than eave-mounted?
Yes. The turret housing is compatible with direct wall mounting and optional Hikvision mounting brackets including the DS-1273ZJ-140 and DS-220AZJ-145-WA wall mount bracket. The eyeball head rotates independently of the base, allowing the coverage angle to be adjusted after mounting without repositioning the camera body. - Where can I purchase the DS-2CD2367G2-LU with local Australian support?
The DS-2CD2367G2-LU is stocked through Security Wholesalers, where it is supplied with Australian warranty and technical support. Compatible mounting accessories including junction boxes and wall brackets are also available to complete the installation.
