DS-2CD2T47G2H-LI(4MM) ColorVu

The T-series 4MP ColorVu with reach

The 2.8mm version of the T-series ColorVu bullet captures wide perimeter sections in colour at night. The Hikvision DS-2CD2T47G2H-LI with the 4mm lens trades that peripheral coverage for face and number-plate detail at 12 to 18 metres, in the same long-reach T-series body. ColorVu rendering at distance, IR backup to 60 metres, and the kind of housing that survives years on an exposed perimeter wall.

This is the right call for long driveways on larger homes, smallholding access roads, and any position where the camera-to-target distance pushes past what the wide-angle 2.8mm can usefully resolve.

What this camera is actually good at

• 4MP resolution with full ColorVu. Identification-grade colour rendering at night, at the kind of distances that matter on long driveways and perimeter views.
• Tighter 4mm lens. 84° horizontal field of view. More usable detail per person in frame.
• Long-range IR illumination. Up to 60 metres in total darkness when ambient light drops below ColorVu thresholds.
• 120 dB WDR. Headlights, gate lights, and harsh sun all balanced cleanly.
• Built-in microphone. Audio recorded alongside video.
• IP67 and IK10 housing. Weather-sealed and vandal-resistant.
• H.265+ compression. Storage-efficient at full 4MP.

Where this camera belongs on your property

• Long driveways where the camera at the front needs to see the area around the house clearly
• Perimeter walls bordering open ground watching a defined wall section at distance
• Smallholding access roads covering the approach to the gate from a mounted position higher up
• Estate boom-gate approaches where vehicle identification at distance matters
• Industrial site perimeters watching specific entry zones rather than wide scenes

If you want a wider view or a step up

• The 2.8mm version of this same camera is the wide-angle alternative for closer scenes.
• The DS-2CD2086G2H-I 8MP ColorVu doubles the pixels for the highest-priority identification positions.
• The DS-2CD2646G2HT-IZS 2.8 to 12mm motorised zoom is the right call when one camera needs to handle multiple framings.

If you want to compare at this level

• The DS-2CD2T47G3-LIY 4mm is the latest G3 generation of this camera. Refined low-light performance.
• The DS-2CD2T46G2-ISU/SL drops ColorVu but adds active strobe and siren.
• The DS-2CD2T46G2H-2I 4mm is the compact AcuSense alternative without ColorVu.
