Yes, this camera is designed for 24/7 full-color imaging. According to the datasheet, it uses Hikvision ColorVu technology with an F1.0 super-aperture lens and a high-performance sensor to collect more light. It can deliver color images down to 0.001 lux, and even 0 lux when the built-in white light is active. This allows consistent color detail day and night, rather than switching to black-and-white.

The DS-2CD1347G2-LUF captures video at a maximum resolution of 2560 × 1440, which is 4 megapixels. The datasheet highlights high-quality imaging supported by a 1/3" progressive scan CMOS sensor. This resolution provides clear detail for identifying people and vehicles in monitored areas. It also supports Wide Dynamic Range up to 120 dB for clearer images in scenes with strong backlighting.

Yes, the datasheet specifies that the camera supports motion detection with alarm triggering based on specified target types, including humans and vehicles. This feature helps reduce false alerts caused by irrelevant motion. Detection events can be linked to actions such as uploading to FTP, sending email notifications, or triggering recordings on supported models. This makes alerts more meaningful and actionable.

The camera is rated IP67 according to IEC 60529-2013, meaning it is water and dust resistant. The datasheet also lists an operating temperature range of -30 °C to 60 °C (-22 °F to 140 °F). This makes it suitable for outdoor installations in harsh weather conditions. However, the datasheet notes that this model has no specific anti-corrosion protection, so it is intended for standard environments rather than highly corrosive areas.

This model is available with fixed focal lens options of 2.8 mm or 4 mm. According to the datasheet, the 2.8 mm lens provides a horizontal field of view of 96°, while the 4 mm lens offers a 75° horizontal field of view. Both options use an F1.0 aperture to maximize light intake. These choices allow installers to select wider coverage or more focused views depending on the application.

Yes, the -U variant of this model includes a built-in microphone. The datasheet specifies mono sound with environmental noise filtering enabled. It supports multiple audio compression formats such as G.711, G.722.1, G.726, MP2L2, PCM, and AAC-LC. This allows real-time audio monitoring alongside video when supported by the recording system.

The datasheet lists support for H.265+, H.265, H.264+, and H.264 on the main stream. Sub-streams can use H.265, H.264, or MJPEG. These compression options help reduce bandwidth and storage requirements while maintaining image quality. H.265+ in particular is designed to be more efficient for continuous recording.

The -F variants of this camera support on-board storage via a microSD, microSDHC, or microSDXC card. The datasheet states that cards up to 512 GB are supported. This allows local recording directly on the camera when an NVR is not used. Recorded footage can also be uploaded to FTP or accessed through supported client software.

The DS-2CD1347G2-LUF supports both 12 VDC power input and Power over Ethernet (PoE). According to the datasheet, it is compatible with IEEE 802.3af PoE, Class 3. Power consumption is listed as a maximum of 6.5 W when using PoE. This flexibility simplifies installation by allowing a single Ethernet cable for power and data.

The datasheet lists iVMS-4200 and Hik-Connect as supported client software. Live viewing is available through web browsers such as Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, with specific version requirements noted. The camera also supports ONVIF profiles S and T for broader compatibility. This ensures it can integrate into many existing surveillance systems.
