The 4MP ColorVu turret with audio
The Hikvision DS-2CD2347G2H-LIU 2.8mm takes the 4MP ColorVu turret and adds a built-in microphone for audio capture. The U in the model designation indicates the audio capability. Full-colour night footage combined with audio context turns the recorded archive into investigation-grade evidence rather than just visual surveillance.
For retail dispute resolution, customer service incident review, after-hours intrusion investigation, and any commercial environment where the difference between ‘we have footage’ and ‘we have evidence’ matters, the audio capture earns its modest premium over the non-audio version every time.

If you want active deterrent
- The DS-2CD2347G2H-LISU/SL 2.8mm adds active strobe and siren to this same camera. The right call when after-hours intrusion response is part of the requirement.

Audio recording: useful, with legal context
Audio recording in commercial settings requires reasonable proportionality to the security purpose and (in most cases) appropriate signage notifying staff and visitors. Healthcare and certain regulated settings have additional requirements. We talk this through and recommend signage on every audio-camera install across Pretoria East, Centurion, Midrand, and Johannesburg.
