DS-2CD2T47G2H-LI (2.8 mm) ColorVu

The T-series 4MP ColorVu for perimeter and front-of-house

If the compact 47-series ColorVu bullets are designed for residential side and rear positions, the T-series ColorVu is what you install when the camera position needs to project further into the dark. The Hikvision DS-2CD2T47G2H-LI 2.8mm is the T-series 4MP ColorVu bullet with the wide-angle lens. Same ColorVu sensor and full-colour night vision as the compact 47-series, in the bigger T-series housing with up to 60 metres of IR illumination for total-darkness coverage at distance.

This is the camera we install on perimeter wall sections, longer driveways, and front-gate positions where a residential 4MP setup is the right level of capability and the position needs reach. Full-colour night identification at 4MP, paired with IR backup that doubles the effective night-time coverage range of the camera.

What this camera is actually good at

• 4MP resolution with ColorVu. Full-colour footage at night, sharp enough for face and vehicle identification at perimeter distances.
• Wide 2.8mm lens. 102° horizontal field of view from a single mount. Captures a long perimeter section or a complete driveway view.
• T-series long-range IR. Up to 60 metres of supplementary infrared illumination when ambient light drops below ColorVu thresholds. Twice the reach of the compact 47-series.
• 120 dB true WDR. Bright-into-dark transitions handled cleanly.
• Built-in microphone. Audio captured alongside video.
• IP67 weather-sealed and IK10 vandal-resistant housing. Built for exposed perimeter mounting in Highveld weather.
• H.265+ compression. Doubles your effective recording capacity versus older H.264.

Where this camera belongs on your property

• Perimeter walls and boundary fences needing full-colour night identification at distance
• Front-gate and driveway entry positions on larger homes where reach matters
• Smallholding entry points watching long approach roads
• Estate and complex perimeter coverage where ColorVu detail and IR reach both matter
• Commercial entry points requiring identification-grade night footage at a distance

If you want a different focal length or step up

• The 4mm version of this same camera is the right call for longer driveways and tighter perimeter views.
• The DS-2CD2086G2H-I 8MP ColorVu doubles the resolution. Worth it at front-gate positions where maximum identification detail matters.
• The DS-2CD2646G2HT-IZS 2.8 to 12mm swaps the fixed lens for a motorised zoom. Useful when one camera needs to flex between wide and tight views.

If you want to compare at this level

• The DS-2CD2T47G3-LIY 2.8mm is the latest G3 generation of this same camera. The right call when you want the most current ColorVu performance.
• The DS-2CD2T46G2-ISU/SL drops ColorVu but adds active strobe and siren for deterrent response at the same range.
• The DS-2CD2T46G2H-2I 2.8mm and 4mm are AcuSense bullets without ColorVu, in compact bodies for residential positions.

This camera works cleanly with the DS-7616NXI-K2 16-channel NVR for multi-camera homes and small businesses. Our home CCTV installation guide covers system design by property type.
