Product SKU: DS-2CD2T47G2-L
Product Overview
The Hikvision DS-2CD2T47G2-L is a 4MP ColorVu Gen2 bullet network camera designed for buyers who need vivid full-colour security footage day and night. It suits driveways, shopfronts, building approaches, car parks, warehouses, side access paths and commercial perimeters where colour detail is more valuable than traditional black-and-white night footage. With an F1.0 super-aperture lens, advanced sensor technology and warm supplemental lighting, the camera can produce colourful images even in zero-light scenarios. It also includes human and vehicle classification, 130dB WDR, H.265+ compression and white light illumination up to 60m, making it a practical outdoor camera for long-range colour monitoring.

Key Capabilities
4MP ColorVu Imaging
The camera captures high-quality 4MP footage with vivid colour detail, making it useful for reviewing people, vehicles and scene activity where colour evidence matters.
24/7 Colour Monitoring
ColorVu technology, an F1.0 super-aperture lens and advanced sensor performance help maintain colourful footage in low-light and zero-light environments.
60m White Light Range
Built-in warm supplemental lighting supports colour imaging up to 60m, making this model useful for longer driveways, yards, perimeter approaches and external business areas.
Human and Vehicle Classification
Deep learning detection helps focus alerts on people and vehicles rather than every movement in the scene, reducing nuisance events from rain, animals, shadows or foliage.
130dB WDR for Backlight
130dB WDR helps balance bright and dark areas in the same scene, improving visibility around shopfronts, glass entries, driveways and areas affected by sunlight or glare.
Efficient H.265+ Recording
H.265+ compression helps reduce storage and bandwidth requirements while retaining useful image quality, which is important for longer retention in high-resolution CCTV systems.
Best For
- Long Driveways: Useful where full-colour footage and extended white light coverage can improve night-time review.
- Retail Shopfronts: A strong fit for after-hours colour monitoring of people, vehicles and external activity.
- Warehouses and Yards: Suitable for external walls, loading zones, vehicle approaches and large outdoor spaces.
- Commercial Perimeters: Works well for gates, fence lines and building approaches where human and vehicle filtering is valuable.
- Colour Evidence Capture: Best for sites where clothing, vehicle or object colour is important during incident review.
Why Choose the DS-2CD2T47G2-L
The DS-2CD2T47G2-L is worth choosing when full-colour night footage is the priority and a bullet-style camera is preferred for visible outdoor coverage. Its F1.0 super-aperture and warm supplemental lighting help produce bright colour images in low-light and zero-light scenes, while human and vehicle classification helps reduce irrelevant alerts. Compared with a standard infrared camera, this model is better suited to sites where colour evidence is more useful than discreet black-and-white night footage. As part of the Security Wholesalers range, it suits homes, businesses and commercial sites needing reliable ColorVu monitoring over longer outdoor areas.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: Choose the 2.8mm lens for wider close-range coverage, the 4mm lens for a more balanced view, or the 6mm lens when a narrower and more focused view is needed across a longer approach.
Buyer Tip: This camera uses visible white light for full-colour night imaging. It is ideal when colour detail matters, but an infrared model may be better where night-time illumination needs to be more discreet.

Low-Light External Areas
Useful where warm supplemental lighting is acceptable and vivid colour footage is preferred over IR-only images.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose the 2.8mm lens if: You need wider coverage across a driveway, shopfront, yard or close-range open area.
- Choose the 4mm lens if: You want a balanced view for medium-distance entrances, pathways or general outdoor monitoring.
- Choose the 6mm lens if: You need a narrower view across a longer approach, gate, corridor or focused perimeter section.
- Choose a different model if: You need built-in microphone audio, two-way audio, strobe warning or speaker-based active deterrence.
FAQs
- Does the DS-2CD2T47G2-L record in colour at night?
Yes. The DS-2CD2T47G2-L uses ColorVu technology, an F1.0 super-aperture lens and warm supplemental lighting to capture full-colour footage day and night. This is useful when reviewing clothing colours, vehicle colours and scene context after dark. - What is the white light range?
The supplied content lists a white light range of up to 60m. This makes the camera suitable for longer outdoor scenes compared with many shorter-range colour night cameras. Actual night results will depend on mounting height, target distance, surface reflectivity and surrounding ambient light. - What resolution does this camera provide?
The DS-2CD2T47G2-L provides 4MP imaging. This is suitable for many homes, businesses and outdoor monitoring areas where clear colour footage is required without moving into a higher-storage 6MP or 8MP camera system. - How does human and vehicle classification help?
Human and vehicle classification helps the camera focus on more relevant events rather than every motion trigger. This can reduce nuisance alerts caused by animals, leaves, rain, shadows or other non-security movement, making notifications and playback searches more practical. - What is the difference between the 2.8mm, 4mm and 6mm lens options?
The 2.8mm lens is best for wider close-range coverage, the 4mm lens provides a more balanced medium view, and the 6mm lens is more focused for longer or narrower approaches. The right choice depends on scene width, mounting distance and the level of detail required. - What DORI distances are listed?
The supplied DORI distances are 2.8mm: Detect 65m, Observe 21m, Recognise 13m, Identify 6m; 4mm: Detect 72m, Observe 28m, Recognise 14m, Identify 7m; and 6mm: Detect 109m, Observe 43m, Recognise 21m, Identify 10m. - Does this camera include audio?
The supplied content does not list a built-in microphone, speaker or two-way audio for this model. If audio recording, talk-back or audible deterrence is required, choose a camera that specifically includes those audio features. - Is this better than a standard infrared camera?
It is better when colour night footage is the priority. A standard infrared camera may be more discreet because it does not rely on visible white light, but the DS-2CD2T47G2-L is better when colour details are important for reviewing people, vehicles and events. - Where is this camera best installed?
This camera is best installed in areas where visible white light is acceptable and colour night evidence is valuable, such as driveways, shopfronts, loading areas, outdoor yards, building approaches and commercial perimeters. Lens choice should be matched to the width and distance of the scene.
