Product Overview
For installers and site owners who need full-colour night vision without the grey tones of traditional infrared, the DS-2CD2367G2-LU delivers 6MP ColorVu Gen 2 imaging in a compact outdoor turret housing designed for eave, soffit, and wall mounting. Featuring a 4mm fixed lens and a warm white LED illuminator with up to 40m of colour coverage, this camera captures genuine colour footage around the clock, even in zero-light environments. Equipped with Hikvision’s AcuSense deep learning engine, it classifies detected motion as either a person or a vehicle, filtering out triggers caused by animals, rain, or foliage. Built with a 130 dB wide dynamic range, it handles difficult lighting transitions such as entrances and car park exits without washing out detail. It also includes a built-in microphone for on-site audio capture and supports H.265+ compression to reduce storage demands. This makes it well suited to shopfronts, residential driveways, carports, and small commercial yards where colour evidence and lower false-alert rates matter.
Key Capabilities
24/7 Colour Imaging with White LED
The warm white LED illuminator provides colour-accurate footage in complete darkness, eliminating the monochrome footage typical of IR-only cameras. Installers covering driveways and entry points get usable colour evidence regardless of the ambient light level.
AcuSense Human and Vehicle Classification
Deep learning algorithms analyse motion events and classify detections as either a person or a vehicle. This reduces nuisance alerts from swaying branches, animals, and passing headlights, directing attention to events that actually matter at the site.
6MP Resolution with 4mm Fixed Lens
The 6MP sensor paired with a 4mm fixed lens provides a wider field of view than a 6mm option while retaining enough detail for recognition at typical eave-mounted distances. The 4mm angle suits driveways, carports, and building access paths where a broader scene capture is preferred.
130 dB Wide Dynamic Range
High-contrast scenes such as building entrances with strong backlight or car park exits are managed by the 130 dB WDR system, which balances exposure across bright and shadowed areas within a single frame to retain detail throughout the image.
Built-in Microphone and H.265+ Compression
The integrated microphone captures ambient audio alongside video without requiring an external input device. H.265+ smart compression reduces bitrate and storage consumption compared to H.264, keeping NVR hard drive space in check across multi-camera installations.
Best For
- Residential Driveways and Carports: The 4mm lens covers a wide approach angle from eave height, and the 40m white LED range ensures colour footage reaches the footpath and street even in complete darkness.
- Shopfronts and Building Entries: AcuSense classification filters vehicle and pedestrian activity from other motion sources, reducing unwanted notifications at high-traffic entry points during and after business hours.
- Small Commercial Yards and Car Parks: The 6MP sensor retains enough detail for licence plate recognition at appropriate distances, and the 130 dB WDR handles mixed lighting typical of open-air car parks.
- Multi-Camera Installations Requiring Storage Efficiency: H.265+ compression significantly reduces per-camera storage load, making this model practical for installations where multiple cameras feed a single NVR without requiring oversized drives.
Why Choose the DS-2CD2367G2-LU
The DS-2CD2367G2-LU sits in a distinct position within the ColorVu Gen 2 turret range by combining 6MP resolution with AcuSense deep learning and a built-in microphone at a price point that makes it deployable across multi-camera sites without blowing the budget. Where a basic ColorVu camera without AcuSense will still trigger on animal movement or blowing debris, the DS-2CD2367G2-LU filters those events through deep learning before they reach the operator. The 4mm lens at 6MP provides a broader scene than a 4MP equivalent while retaining better facial and licence detail. The DORI range for the 4mm lens confirms a detect distance of 102m and a recognise distance of 20m, giving installers confidence in coverage planning for driveway and yard applications. Available at Security Wholesalers, this model is a practical choice for integrators who need colour evidence and smart detection without stepping up to a larger or more complex camera platform.
Buyer Decision Tips
Lens and Mounting Height: The 4mm fixed lens on this turret is best suited to mounting heights between 2.5m and 4m for typical driveway or entry coverage. At greater heights the field of view widens but ground-level detail at range reduces. If your installation requires a tighter framing angle, a longer focal length fixed lens would be more appropriate. The 4mm version is the right choice when you need to cover a wide approach or parking area from eave height without losing the colour detail that makes the ColorVu system valuable.

Ideal Use Cases
Residential Driveway Monitoring
Mounted on the eave facing the driveway entry, the 4mm lens covers the full width of a standard driveway from typical residential heights, with the white LED providing colour imagery of approaching people and vehicles at night.
Retail Shopfront and Forecourt
AcuSense human and vehicle classification helps operators focus on genuine perimeter events during after-hours periods, rather than reacting to passing traffic or shadow movement triggering standard motion alerts.
Small Commercial Car Park
The 130 dB WDR is particularly useful in car parks where headlights create intense contrast. The 6MP sensor at 4mm captures wide coverage of parking bays while retaining enough detail for vehicle identification at the DORI recognise range of 20m.
Building Access Points and Stairwells
Soffit or ceiling mounting at building access points suits the turret housing profile. The built-in microphone captures audio at the entry point alongside video, making the camera suitable where ambient sound capture adds context to recorded incidents.
Multi-Camera NVR Systems
H.265+ compression reduces per-stream bitrate, allowing more cameras to record continuously to a single NVR without saturating bandwidth or running hard drives out of space prematurely on longer retention setups.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need 24/7 colour footage at a site where lighting is absent or inconsistent, require AcuSense human and vehicle filtering to reduce false alerts, and prefer the low-profile turret housing for eave or soffit mounting without a protruding bullet form.
- Choose a different model if: Your site requires a tighter focal length to cover a long approach or corridor at distance, as a longer fixed lens or motorised varifocal turret will provide better recognition detail at extended ranges. If active deterrence with a siren or strobe is needed, a model with those built-in features would be more appropriate for your application.
FAQs
- Does the DS-2CD2367G2-LU produce colour footage at night without any external lighting?
Yes. The white LED illuminator built into the camera provides colour-accurate light in zero-lux conditions, achieving 0 Lux minimum illumination when the LED is active. This means the camera does not rely on streetlights or site lighting to produce colour footage after dark. - What does AcuSense actually do on this camera?
AcuSense uses a deep learning algorithm running on the camera itself to classify detected motion as either a person or a vehicle. Events triggered by animals, rain, or moving foliage are filtered out before they generate alerts, so operators receive notifications tied to relevant activity rather than environmental movement. - Is the 4mm lens the right choice for a standard residential driveway?
For most residential driveways monitored from eave height between 2.5m and 3.5m, the 4mm lens provides a practical field of view that covers the full width of the approach without excessive distortion. The DORI data confirms a recognise distance of 20m and a detect distance of 102m at 4mm, which suits typical driveway and gate coverage scenarios. - What is the white light illumination range confirmed for this model?
The spec data for the DS-2CD2367G2-LU confirms a white light range of up to 40m. This is the effective colour illumination distance under the LED, beyond which colour detail begins to diminish. This range is sufficient for most driveway, carport, and building entry applications. - Can the built-in microphone be used to record audio to the NVR?
The built-in microphone captures ambient audio alongside video. Whether that audio is recorded depends on the NVR configuration and whether audio recording is enabled on the relevant channel. The microphone is a single-direction input only – it captures sound at the camera location. This camera does not have a built-in speaker, so it does not support two-way audio communication. - Where can I purchase the DS-2CD2367G2-LU in Australia?
This camera is available through Security Wholesalers, which stocks the full Hikvision ColorVu Gen 2 turret range including compatible brackets and mounting accessories. The datasheet and user manual links are also available on the product page for pre-installation reference.
