Hikvision DS-2CD2547G2-LS 4MP ColorVu Mini Dome IP Camera, PoE, Audio, Smart

Yes. The DS-2CD2547G2-LS is designed with Hikvision’s ColorVu technology, which allows it to capture full-color video 24 hours a day instead of switching to traditional black-and-white night mode. The camera uses an F1.0 aperture lens and a high-sensitivity sensor to capture more light in low-light conditions. It also includes a built-in white light supplement that can illuminate subjects up to approximately 30 meters away. Together, these features help maintain clear and colorful images even in extremely dark environments.

This camera supports a maximum resolution of 2688 × 1520, which is equivalent to 4 megapixels. This higher resolution allows the camera to capture sharper images with more visible detail compared to lower resolution cameras. The added detail can be especially useful when identifying people, clothing, or small objects in surveillance footage. The camera can stream video at up to 25 or 30 frames per second depending on the selected resolution and region settings.

Yes, the DS-2CD2547G2-LS supports Power over Ethernet using the IEEE 802.3af standard. This allows both power and data to be delivered through a single Ethernet cable, simplifying installation and reducing the need for additional power wiring. PoE installations are often faster and cleaner, especially when deploying multiple cameras. The camera can also be powered using a 12 VDC power supply if PoE is not available.

Yes. The camera includes a built-in microphone that allows it to capture audio along with video recordings. In addition, the -LS model includes audio input and output terminals, allowing external audio devices to be connected if needed. The camera supports several audio compression formats such as G.711, G.722.1, MP2L2, MP3, and AAC-LC. This flexibility makes it useful in environments where audio monitoring or recording is required.

The DS-2CD2547G2-LS includes several intelligent video analytics powered by deep learning technology. These features include line crossing detection, intrusion detection, region entrance detection, and region exit detection. The system can also classify targets as either humans or vehicles, helping reduce false alarms caused by animals, weather, or moving objects. These smart detection tools help security teams focus on events that are more likely to require attention.

Yes, the camera is built for both indoor and outdoor use. It carries an IP67 rating, which means it is protected against dust and can withstand exposure to rain and harsh weather conditions. In addition, the camera has an IK08 vandal-resistance rating, providing protection against impacts and tampering. These durability features make it a reliable option for exposed installations such as building exteriors, entrances, and parking areas.

Yes. The camera includes a built-in microSD card slot that supports memory cards up to 512 GB. This allows the camera to record footage locally without requiring a network video recorder for basic storage. It can also work with network storage systems such as NAS using NFS or SMB/CIFS protocols. Additionally, the camera supports automatic network replenishment (ANR) to help recover recordings if a network interruption occurs.

The DS-2CD2547G2-LS supports multiple video compression formats including H.265, H.264, H.265+, and H.264+. These advanced compression technologies reduce bandwidth and storage requirements while maintaining video quality. The camera can also support MJPEG for certain streams. By lowering storage and network demands, these codecs help make large surveillance deployments more efficient.

The camera is available with either a 2.8 mm or a 4 mm fixed lens option. The 2.8 mm lens provides a wider field of view, offering approximately 112° horizontal coverage, which is ideal for monitoring broader areas. The 4 mm lens provides a narrower view of about 95° horizontally, which can help capture more detail at longer distances. Choosing between these options depends on whether wider coverage or more focused viewing is needed.

The DS-2CD2547G2-LS allows up to 32 users to access the camera at the same time. The system supports three different permission levels: administrator, operator, and user. This allows organizations to control who can view footage, configure settings, or manage the device. Multi-user access is helpful in security environments where multiple staff members or monitoring stations need simultaneous visibility.
