Hikvision DS-2CD2147G2-SU 4MP ColorVu Dome Camera
What happens when an important incident occurs at night, but a conventional camera cannot capture enough color or detail to understand what happened? The DS-2CD2147G2-SU combines 4MP resolution, an F1.0 super-aperture lens, and ColorVu technology to provide vivid color imaging throughout the day and in extremely low-light conditions.
Deep-learning technology distinguishes human and vehicle activity, helping you focus on the events that may actually require attention. With a built-in microphone, 130 dB WDR, local storage, and a vandal-resistant outdoor housing, this camera is designed to capture more useful evidence without adding unnecessary complexity to your surveillance system.
Why Buyers Choose This Model
24/7 ColorVu Imaging
See clothing, vehicles, and other important scene details in color throughout the day and in extremely low-light conditions, giving you more useful information than a traditional black-and-white nighttime image.
4MP High-Resolution Video
Capture video at up to 2688 × 1520 resolution, providing the additional detail needed to review activity around entrances, driveways, businesses, and other important areas.
Human and Vehicle Classification
Deep-learning-based classification helps the camera focus on human and vehicle targets, making it easier to separate potentially important activity from general movement in the scene.
130 dB Wide Dynamic Range
Maintain clearer visibility when a person or vehicle is positioned against bright sunlight, headlights, windows, or strongly backlit entrances.
Built-In Microphone
Record sound with the video to provide additional context during conversations, disturbances, deliveries, and security incidents. Environmental noise filtering helps improve captured audio.
Advanced Perimeter Protection
Use line-crossing, intrusion, region-entrance, and region-exiting detection to monitor specific boundaries and areas instead of relying only on basic motion detection.
Face Capture
Capture facial information from compatible viewing conditions to make recorded activity easier to review when identifying who entered the monitored area.
Up to 512GB Local Storage
Record directly to a compatible microSD, SDHC, SDXC, or TF card when local storage is needed. The camera can also work with supported NAS storage and compatible network video recorders.
H.265+ Video Compression
Reduce bandwidth and storage demands compared with less efficient compression methods, helping you retain high-resolution surveillance video more efficiently.
PoE Installation
Transmit power and network data through one Ethernet cable when connected to compatible IEEE 802.3af PoE equipment, simplifying installation and reducing the need for a separate power cable near the camera.
Remote Viewing Compatibility
Use supported Hikvision platforms such as Hik-Connect, iVMS-4200, or HikCentral to access and manage the camera as part of a properly configured surveillance system.
Audio and Alarm Connections
Connect compatible external audio and alarm devices through the available line input, line output, alarm input, and alarm output on the -SU model for a more flexible security setup.
Outdoor and Vandal-Resistant Construction
The metal IP67 and IK10-rated housing helps protect the camera against water, dust, and physical impact, making it suitable for exposed and vandal-prone locations.
2.8mm or 4mm Lens Options
Choose the 2.8mm lens for a wider 112° horizontal view or the 4mm lens for a narrower 95° view with longer recognition and identification distances.
What This Helps You Avoid
Imagine discovering that a potential intruder entered your property at night, only to find that the recording is too dark, washed out, or missing the details needed to understand what occurred. Without dependable target classification, you may also spend unnecessary time reviewing motion caused by activity that was not relevant to the incident.
The DS-2CD2147G2-SU addresses these problems by combining low-light color imaging, 4MP detail, human and vehicle classification, and strong-backlight correction. Instead of simply knowing that movement occurred, you can have clearer visual and audio context to help determine whether the activity involved a visitor, vehicle, thief, or potential intruder.
Its perimeter-protection tools help you monitor the areas that matter most, while local storage and efficient compression provide additional recording flexibility. The result is a more useful layer of surveillance designed to help you review incidents with greater clarity and confidence.
Important Installation Note
ColorVu performance depends on available ambient light. The datasheet specifies a minimum illumination of 0.0005 lux rather than 0 lux and does not list a built-in supplemental white light or infrared illuminator for this model.
This camera also has no specific anti-corrosion protection. Installations near coastlines, docks, chemical plants, or other corrosive environments may require a camera with specialized anti-corrosion protection.
