Product Overview
For entrances, corridors, shopfronts, and compact outdoor areas where colour imaging and smart detection matter, the DS-2CD2547G2-LS is a 4MP mini dome camera built around Hikvision’s ColorVu technology. Featuring an F1.0 super-aperture lens and high-performance sensor, it delivers full-colour video around the clock without relying on infrared, operating down to 0.0005 Lux when white light support is active. AcuSense deep-learning analytics classify targets as human or vehicle, supporting face capture, line crossing, and intrusion detection for more meaningful event alerts. The compact dome housing carries IP67 weatherproof and IK08 vandal-resistant ratings, making it equally suited to ceiling-mounted indoor installations and exposed outdoor positions. A built-in microphone adds audio recording to each scene. Available in 2.8mm and 4mm fixed lens options, it suits locations where a low-profile camera profile is preferred alongside 130dB wide dynamic range for scenes with mixed lighting conditions.
Key Capabilities
ColorVu Full-Colour Night Vision
The F1.0 super-aperture lens and high-performance sensor work together to produce vivid colour video in near-darkness, operating down to 0.0005 Lux with white light assistance. Scenes at entrances and shopfronts retain colour detail that standard IR cameras cannot capture after dark.
AcuSense Human and Vehicle Classification
Deep-learning analytics distinguish people and vehicles from other motion sources, reducing nuisance alerts triggered by foliage, animals, or lighting changes. Face capture, line crossing, and intrusion detection further refine event monitoring at doorways and controlled access points.
130dB Wide Dynamic Range
A 130dB WDR rating handles scenes where bright daylight meets shadowed interior areas, such as a shopfront entry or a corridor adjacent to a glass facade. Both bright and dark zones remain legible in a single frame without exposure compromise.
IK08 Vandal Resistance and IP67 Weatherproofing
The compact dome shell is rated IK08 for resistance to impact, making it appropriate for semi-public areas including lobbies, stairwells, and outdoor wall or ceiling positions exposed to the elements. IP67 sealing guards against dust ingress and water intrusion.
H.265+ Efficient Compression
H.265+ compression reduces bitrate and storage consumption compared to H.264 without sacrificing 4MP image quality. This is particularly useful in multi-camera installations where NVR storage capacity and network bandwidth are shared across several channels.
Best For
- Shopfront and Retail Entry Monitoring: The ColorVu F1.0 lens produces colour footage of customers and vehicles at entry points after hours, when IR cameras would deliver monochrome results.
- Corridor and Lobby Coverage: The compact mini dome profile suits ceiling mounting in corridors, lift lobbies, and reception areas where a discreet low-profile housing is preferred over a visible bullet camera.
- Mixed-Light Outdoor Positions: 130dB WDR and IP67 weatherproofing make this suitable for eave mounting at outdoor entrances where sunlight and shadow create high-contrast scenes throughout the day.
- Installations Requiring Smart Event Detection: AcuSense line crossing and intrusion detection with human and vehicle classification suits locations where event-driven recording or alerts need to focus on genuine activity rather than incidental motion.
Why Choose the DS-2CD2547G2-LS
The DS-2CD2547G2-LS separates itself from standard 4MP dome cameras through the combination of ColorVu colour night vision, AcuSense deep-learning classification, and IK08 vandal resistance in a single compact housing. A basic fixed dome at a similar resolution will typically produce black-and-white footage at night using infrared, making it harder to identify clothing colour, vehicle colour, or scene context from recordings. The F1.0 aperture on this model captures enough ambient and white-light-supplemented detail to maintain colour accuracy where it matters most for identification. The addition of face capture and human and vehicle classification means event logs contain actionable triggers rather than constant motion noise. Built-in microphone support adds an audio layer to recordings without requiring additional hardware. Available through Security Wholesalers, this model suits installers and integrators building out colour-capable, analytics-enabled surveillance systems on commercial or mixed-use properties.
Buyer Decision Tips
Lens Selection and Coverage Area: The 2.8mm variant offers a wide 112-degree horizontal field of view and is suited to compact spaces such as corridors, small retail floors, or lift lobbies where broad coverage from a single mounting point is needed. The 4mm option narrows the field to 95 degrees horizontal and extends detection distances, making it more appropriate for longer corridors, entry driveways, or outdoor approaches where a slightly tighter framing improves subject detail at range. Check the DORI distances for your target scenario before selecting a lens: the 4mm reaches 77m detect versus 58m for the 2.8mm.

Ideal Use Cases
Retail Shopfronts
ColorVu technology ensures full-colour recordings of activity at shopfront entries after trading hours, when standard IR dome cameras would record only in monochrome. AcuSense line crossing alerts can trigger when someone approaches a closed entry after hours.
Building Entry and Exit Points
The 4MP resolution combined with face capture detection supports identification of individuals passing through controlled entry points. The compact dome housing mounts flush to ceilings at doorways without obstructing clearance or drawing excessive attention.
Indoor Corridors and Stairwells
The IK08-rated mini dome shell resists tampering in semi-public indoor spaces. The 2.8mm wide-angle lens covers a 112-degree horizontal field, reducing the number of cameras needed to monitor a corridor from a single ceiling mounting point.
Mixed-Light Outdoor Eave Positions
IP67 weatherproofing allows installation under eaves at building perimeters. The 130dB WDR addresses high-contrast lighting at outdoor entries where direct sunlight and deep shadow appear in the same frame, particularly at dawn and dusk.
Office and Commercial Interiors
The low-profile dome design suits office reception areas, meeting room access points, and small commercial interiors. Audio recording via the built-in microphone captures ambient sound alongside 4MP colour video, providing additional scene context for incident review.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need a compact vandal-resistant mini dome with full-colour night vision, AcuSense human and vehicle classification, and a wide 130dB WDR rating for locations where colour identification after dark is a priority and a low-profile ceiling housing is preferred.
- Choose a different model if: You require active deterrence with a built-in siren or strobe light, two-way audio communication through a built-in speaker, or a turret-style housing with a repositionable optical head for flexible post-installation aiming. A Gen2 ColorVu turret camera with active deterrence features would better serve those requirements.
FAQs
- How does ColorVu produce colour video at night without infrared?
ColorVu uses an F1.0 super-aperture lens combined with a high-performance image sensor that collects significantly more available light than a standard f/2.0 or f/1.6 lens. When ambient light drops below usable levels, white LED illuminators supplement the scene. The result is colour video rather than the monochrome output typical of IR-based cameras operating in low-light conditions.
- What is the detection range on the DS-2CD2547G2-LS?
DORI performance varies by lens. The 2.8mm lens detects motion at 58m, observes at 23m, recognises at 11m, and identifies at 6m. The 4mm lens extends those figures to 77m detect, 30m observe, 16m recognise, and 8m identify. For applications where subject identification at the camera position is the priority, the 4mm lens offers a practical advantage at slightly longer distances.
- Is the DS-2CD2547G2-LS suitable for outdoor installation?
Yes. The camera carries an IP67 weatherproof rating, meaning it is sealed against dust ingress and water immersion up to 1 metre for 30 minutes. It is suited to eave mounting, wall mounting under shelter, and outdoor entry positions. The IK08 vandal-resistant rating adds resistance to physical impact, which is relevant for semi-exposed outdoor positions in accessible public areas.
- Does the camera support two-way audio?
No. The DS-2CD2547G2-LS includes a built-in microphone for audio recording and an audio and alarm interface on the -S variant. There is no built-in speaker confirmed on this model, so two-way voice communication is not supported without additional hardware and a separate speaker installation.
- What smart detection features does AcuSense provide on this model?
AcuSense uses deep-learning algorithms to classify detected targets as human or vehicle. Event types supported include line crossing detection, intrusion detection, and face capture. This means the camera can trigger recordings or alerts specifically when a person or vehicle crosses a defined boundary, rather than responding to general motion such as foliage movement or lighting changes.
- Which lens option should I choose for a corridor installation?
The 2.8mm lens is generally the better choice for corridors due to its 112-degree horizontal field of view, which allows a single ceiling-mounted camera to cover a wider sweep of a narrow space. The 4mm variant narrows the field to 95 degrees horizontal and is more appropriate for longer straight approaches where subject detail at greater distance is the priority. Security Wholesalers stocks both lens variants, so confirm your corridor dimensions before ordering.
