The DS-2CD2147G2-LSU features a maximum resolution of 2688 × 1520, delivering true 4 MP video quality. This high resolution allows for sharper image detail, which is especially important when identifying faces, clothing, or vehicles in recorded footage. According to the datasheet, it supports this resolution at up to 25 fps (50 Hz) or 30 fps (60 Hz) on the main stream, ensuring smooth video performance. This combination of clarity and frame rate makes it suitable for environments where accurate detail capture is critical 

Yes, the camera provides 24/7 color imaging using Hikvision’s ColorVu technology. The datasheet specifies a minimum illumination of 0.0005 Lux at F1.0 (AGC ON), and 0 Lux with white light, meaning it can maintain color images even in extremely low light conditions. It uses a white light supplement with a range of up to 30 meters to enhance visibility in darkness. This ensures clear, colorful footage around the clock rather than switching to traditional black-and-white night mode

The DS-2CD2147G2-LSU offers fixed focal lens options of 2.8 mm and 4 mm. The 2.8 mm lens provides a horizontal field of view of 112°, vertical 61°, and diagonal 134°, making it ideal for wider area coverage. The 4 mm lens offers a narrower but more focused view with a 95° horizontal, 51° vertical, and 115° diagonal field of view. This flexibility allows users to select the lens that best matches their installation requirements

The camera includes a white light supplement with an effective range of up to 30 meters. This illumination supports full-color imaging even in complete darkness. Additionally, the DORI distances vary by lens: for the 2.8 mm lens, detection is up to 58 m, while the 4 mm lens extends detection up to 77 m. These specifications provide clear guidance on expected performance at different distances

Yes, the -SU version includes a built-in microphone for mono sound recording. It supports multiple audio compression formats including G.711, G.722.1, G.726, MP2L2, PCM, MP3, and AAC-LC. The audio sampling rates range from 8 kHz to 48 kHz, and environment noise filtering is supported. This allows for synchronized audio and video monitoring when required

The main stream supports H.265, H.264, H.265+, and H.264+ compression formats. The sub-stream supports H.265, H.264, and MJPEG, while the third stream supports H.265 and H.264 under certain settings. These compression options allow efficient bandwidth and storage management without compromising video quality. This flexibility is especially important for network-based recording systems 

Yes, the camera is rated IP67 for water and dust resistance and IK10 for vandal resistance. The IP67 rating ensures protection against dust ingress and temporary immersion in water. The IK10 rating indicates resistance to mechanical impacts, making it suitable for exposed or high-risk areas. These ratings confirm its durability in demanding outdoor environments

The camera supports local storage via MicroSD/SDHC/SDXC cards up to 512 GB. It also supports network storage through NAS (NFS, SMB/CIFS) and includes auto network replenishment (ANR). When used with high-end Hikvision memory cards, memory card encryption and health detection are supported. These options provide flexible and secure storage configurations

Yes, the DS-2CD2147G2-LSU supports 130 dB Wide Dynamic Range (WDR). This technology helps balance exposure in scenes with both bright and dark areas, such as entrances or areas with strong backlighting. The datasheet also specifies a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of ≥ 52 dB, which contributes to image clarity. Together, these features improve visibility in challenging lighting conditions

The camera supports up to 32 users with three permission levels: administrator, operator, and user. It also supports simultaneous live view of up to 6 channels. In addition, it complies with Open Network Video Interface profiles (S, G, T) and offers API support such as ISAPI and SDK integration. This makes it suitable for multi-user and integrated surveillance environments
