Hikvision DS-2CD2047G2-L(U) 4 MP ColorVu Bullet Camera
What could change if the activity around your property remained visible in full color—even after daylight disappears? The Hikvision DS-2CD2047G2-L(U) combines 4 MP resolution, an F1.0 lens and ColorVu technology to deliver vivid, colorful surveillance around the clock.
Human and vehicle classification helps focus attention on meaningful movement, while 130 dB WDR preserves important detail in challenging backlighting. With flexible PoE power, onboard storage and IP67 protection, it gives you a dependable way to monitor the places that matter without making installation unnecessarily complicated.
Why Buyers Choose This Model
24/7 ColorVu Imaging — See More Than Shapes in the Dark
The F1.0 super-aperture lens, high-performance sensor and integrated white light work together to produce vivid color images throughout the day and night. That gives you more useful visual details when reviewing activity after dark.
4 MP Resolution — Capture Clearer Evidence
A maximum resolution of 2688 × 1520 helps preserve important details across entrances, driveways and other monitored areas. Video can reach 30 frames per second under 60 Hz settings for smooth everyday viewing.
Human and Vehicle Classification — Focus on Relevant Movement
Deep-learning classification allows motion detection to focus on human and vehicle targets. Instead of treating every type of movement equally, the system can help you concentrate on activity that may deserve attention.
130 dB WDR — Preserve Detail in Difficult Lighting
Strong sunlight behind a person or vehicle can make ordinary footage hard to interpret. The camera's 130 dB Wide Dynamic Range helps produce clearer images when bright and dark areas appear in the same scene.
40-Meter White Light — Extend Full-Color Coverage
The integrated white supplemental light reaches up to 40 meters and supports smart supplemental-light control. This helps the camera maintain useful color imaging across larger areas when natural light is limited.
Multiple Lens Options — Match the View to the Location
Choose a 2.8 mm lens for a broad 112° horizontal view, a 4 mm lens for a 95° view or a 6 mm lens for a narrower 58° view. This allows the camera's coverage to fit the monitored area instead of forcing one field of view into every installation.
Smart Perimeter Events — Monitor Important Boundaries
Line-crossing, intrusion, region-entrance and region-exit detection help monitor selected areas more intentionally. The camera can trigger recording, capture an image, send an email or notify a surveillance center when a configured event occurs.
Built-In Microphone on the -LU Model — Add Context to Video
The DS-2CD2047G2-LU includes a built-in microphone with environmental-noise filtering. Recorded ambient audio can provide additional context when video alone does not explain the entire event.
H.265+ Compression — Use Storage More Efficiently
H.265+ compression helps control bandwidth and storage requirements while maintaining useful surveillance footage. This makes continuous security recording easier to manage over time.
Local Storage up to 256 GB — Keep Recording at the Camera
The built-in microSD, SDHC and SDXC slot supports cards up to 256 GB. It also supports NAS storage and Automatic Network Replenishment, giving you flexible ways to protect and manage recorded footage.
PoE Support — Simplify the Installation
IEEE 802.3af PoE carries power and network connectivity through the Ethernet connection. The camera can also operate from 12 VDC when a separate power arrangement is more appropriate.
IP67 Protection — Dependable Outdoor Monitoring
The water- and dust-resistant housing is designed for exposed installations. Its specified operating range of -30°C to 60°C helps maintain surveillance through demanding outdoor conditions.
What This Helps You Avoid
Imagine discovering an incident and realizing the nighttime image lacks the color, clarity or context needed to understand what happened. A person may appear only as a dark silhouette, bright background light may hide important details and constant irrelevant motion may make finding the meaningful event more difficult.
The DS-2CD2047G2-L(U) addresses those problems by combining around-the-clock color imaging, 4 MP resolution, 130 dB WDR and human and vehicle classification. Instead of settling for footage that merely confirms something happened, you gain a clearer and more focused record of the scene.
- Avoid relying only on black-and-white nighttime footage.
- Avoid losing important image detail to strong backlighting.
- Avoid treating every type of motion as equally relevant.
- Avoid limiting recording to a single storage method.
- Avoid unnecessary power cabling when a compatible PoE connection is available.
- Avoid using an indoor-only camera in locations exposed to water and dust.
The result is a surveillance camera designed to help you see more clearly, review events more confidently and maintain better awareness of the property you are protecting.
Important model note: The built-in microphone and related audio capabilities apply only to the DS-2CD2047G2-LU. The DS-2CD2047G2-L does not include the “-U” audio features.
