DS-2CD2T47G3-LIS2U/SL

The complete 4MP camera with reach: ColorVu plus active deterrent at distance

The 2.8mm version of this camera is the wide-angle whole-perimeter unit. The Hikvision DS-2CD2T47G3-LIS2UY/SL with the 4mm lens is what you install when the position needs both reach and the full feature set: latest-generation G3 ColorVu, T-series long-range IR, built-in active strobe and siren, two-way audio, and a tighter field of view that delivers identification detail at 12 to 18 metres.

This is a popular choice for long-driveway gate cameras on larger homes, smallholding access points where the next response is far away, and any perimeter position where active deterrent paired with identification-grade detail is the right combination.

What this camera is actually good at

• 4MP resolution with latest-generation G3 ColorVu. Premium low-light colour rendering at distance.
• Tighter 4mm lens. 84° horizontal view. Less peripheral coverage, more identification detail per person at range.
• Built-in white-light strobe. Activates on AcuSense human classification, fully configurable.
• Built-in siren. Audible alarm at the camera itself.
• Two-way audio. Microphone and speaker for verbal challenge or visitor communication.
• T-series long-range IR. Up to 60 metres of supplementary illumination.
• 120 dB WDR. Harsh contrast handled cleanly.
• IP67 and IK10 housing. Weather-sealed and vandal-resistant.
• Alarm input/output terminals. Integrates with existing alarm panels and electric fence energisers.

Where this camera belongs on your property

• Long-driveway gate cameras watching the approach down to the house
• Smallholding entry points where active response and identification at distance both matter
• Perimeter walls bordering open ground needing reach and deterrent together
• Estate access road approaches covering vehicle identification with active response capability
• Industrial and commercial perimeters requiring complete capability at distance

If you want a wider view or different sensor

• The 2.8mm version of this same camera is the wide-angle alternative.
• The DS-2CD2087G3-LIY 8MP G3 ColorVu doubles the pixels, drops the active deterrent.
• The DS-2CD2646G2HT-IZS 2.8 to 12mm motorised zoom is useful when one position needs multiple framings.

If you want to compare at this level

• The DS-2CD2T46G2H-IS2U/SL 4mm is the AcuSense + strobe alternative without ColorVu, at a lower price.
• The DS-2CD2T46G2-ISU/SL is the previous-generation T-series active-deterrent option.
• The DS-2CD2T47G3-LIY 4mm is the same G3 ColorVu camera without strobe and siren.

Pairs cleanly with the DS-7616NXI-K2 16-channel NVR. Our home CCTV installation guide covers complete system design.

The most capable camera goes most wrong with bad configuration

Active deterrent at the latest generation is also the camera that creates the worst neighbourhood noise complaints when configured badly. We do the detection-zone, sensitivity, schedule, and trigger-logic setup that turns this from a powerful piece of hardware into a security tool you actually trust to operate while you sleep. Live-tested across Pretoria East, Centurion, Midrand, and Johannesburg.

How Hikvision active-deterrent cameras work

Active-deterrent cameras combine AcuSense AI with audible siren and white-light strobe to deter intruders the moment they are detected.
