The DS-2CD2147G2-LSU is a 4MP ColorVu fixed dome network camera designed for commercial surveillance applications that require full-color low-light imaging, intelligent human and vehicle classification, built-in audio recording, and durable outdoor protection.
Its F1.0 aperture and supplemental white light support 24/7 color imaging, helping preserve useful visual details such as clothing color, vehicle color, and surrounding scene information in low-light environments. The camera records at up to 2688 × 1520 resolution and supports a 2.8 mm fixed lens with a wide field of view.
Deep learning-based human and vehicle classification supports more relevant motion and perimeter events. This can help reduce alerts caused by some types of non-target movement while improving event review around entrances, walkways, parking areas, loading zones, and other commercial locations.
The integrated microphone supports synchronized audio recording through compatible surveillance systems. The camera also supports H.265+ compression, H-Series private protocol, ONVIF, ISAPI, IEEE 802.3af PoE, and professional NVR integration.

Find answers to common questions about compatibility, installation, infrared night vision, recording storage, and AcuSense human and vehicle classification.
Will this camera work with my existing H-Series NVR?
Yes. The DS-2CD2147G2-LSU is designed for seamless integration with professional H-Series NVR systems. It supports native H-Series protocols, allowing plug-and-play installation, automatic camera discovery, full event recording, and access to advanced AI features without additional configuration.
Does this camera support ONVIF?
Yes. In addition to native H-Series protocol support, this camera is ONVIF compliant and also supports ISAPI. This allows integration with many third-party NVRs, VMS platforms, and network video recording systems that support ONVIF standards.
What makes Full-Color technology different from traditional infrared cameras?
Unlike standard IR cameras that switch to black-and-white video at night, the DS-2CD2147G2-LSU uses a large F1.0 aperture lens and supplemental warm light to deliver full-color video around the clock. This helps capture important details such as vehicle colors, clothing colors, and other identifying information that black-and-white footage may miss.
How far can the camera see at night?
The camera provides full-color night vision with warm white illumination up to approximately 100 feet (30 meters) under suitable conditions. Actual performance may vary depending on environmental lighting and installation location.
Does this camera support human and vehicle detection?
Yes. The built-in Smart AI Detection technology uses deep-learning algorithms to distinguish people and vehicles from other moving objects. This significantly reduces false alarms caused by rain, insects, tree branches, shadows, or animals.
Does the camera record audio?
Yes. The camera includes a built-in high-quality microphone that captures synchronized audio and video recordings. Audio can be stored directly on a compatible NVR or supported recording platform.
Is this camera suitable for outdoor installation?
Absolutely. The DS-2CD2147G2-LSU is rated IP67 weatherproof, making it resistant to rain, dust, snow, and harsh outdoor conditions. It is designed for reliable operation in both residential and commercial environments.
What does the IK10 vandal-resistant rating mean?
IK10 is one of the highest impact-resistance ratings available for security cameras. It means the camera housing is designed to withstand significant physical impacts and tampering attempts, making it ideal for schools, retail stores, warehouses, parking areas, and other public-facing locations.
Is the 2.8mm lens a good choice for my property?
The built-in 2.8mm lens provides an ultra-wide 109° field of view, making it an excellent choice for monitoring entrances, driveways, parking lots, storefronts, offices, and large open areas where broad coverage is more important than long-distance zoom.
Can I use this camera to expand an existing surveillance system?
Yes. This camera is commonly used as a replacement or expansion camera for existing H-Series surveillance systems. It allows businesses and property owners to add high-resolution Full-Color coverage without replacing their current NVR infrastructure.
