Full-Color 24/7 Surveillance in a Vandal-Resistant Compact Dome with F1.0 Low-Light Performance
The Hikvision DS-2CD2547G2-LS is a 4MP ColorVu compact dome camera that records full-color video around the clock, even in near-total darkness at 0.0005 lux. A 1/1.8-inch progressive scan CMOS sensor paired with an F1.0 aperture lens captures significantly more light than standard security cameras, and white light supplemental illumination reaching 30 meters ensures vivid color footage at night without switching to black-and-white IR mode. This security camera delivers 2688 x 1520 resolution at 30 fps through a fixed 2.8mm lens with a 112-degree horizontal field of view, 130dB true wide dynamic range, and a built-in microphone for audio capture alongside video.
The compact dome form factor measures just 4.5 x 2.9 inches and carries both IP67 weatherproofing and IK08 vandal resistance, making it a strong fit for tamper-prone locations where a turret or bullet camera could be knocked off-axis. Deep learning analytics provide human and vehicle classification with face capture capability, line crossing detection, and intrusion alerts. The camera also includes alarm I/O (1 input, 1 output) and audio I/O (1 line in, 1 line out) for integration with external sensors and speakers. H.265+ compression, onboard microSD up to 512GB, and PoE (802.3af) simplify installation and storage.
Where the DS-2CD2547G2-LS Fits
- Retail entrances, checkout areas, and point-of-sale zones where full-color 24/7 video captures clothing colors, facial features, and product details that black-and-white IR footage misses, the compact dome sits flush against the ceiling for a low-profile appearance, and the IK08 rating protects against casual tampering in public spaces
- Parking garages, building lobbies, and elevator vestibules where the F1.0 aperture and 1/1.8-inch sensor deliver usable color video under dim ambient lighting, the 130dB WDR balances headlights against dark corners, and alarm I/O connects to access control sensors or door contacts for event-triggered recording
- Hospitality and healthcare corridors where the compact 4.5-inch dome blends into ceiling tiles without drawing attention, the built-in microphone adds audio context to incident reviews, and the IP67 and IK08 ratings handle both outdoor canopy installations and indoor areas where the camera is within arm's reach
What the DS-2CD2547G2-LS Delivers
- 4MP ColorVu Full-Color 24/7 Imaging: 1/1.8-inch progressive scan CMOS sensor with F1.0 aperture captures full-color video at 0.0005 lux. White light supplemental illumination reaches 30 meters for vivid color footage in complete darkness without switching to black-and-white mode.
- 130dB WDR with Deep Learning Analytics: 130dB true wide dynamic range handles scenes with extreme lighting contrasts. AcuSense deep learning provides human and vehicle classification, face capture, line crossing, and intrusion detection to reduce false alarms and prioritize real events.
- Compact Vandal-Resistant Dome Design: 4.5 x 2.9 inch compact dome with IK08 impact resistance and IP67 weather protection. Aluminum base with plastic cover. Mounts flush to ceilings and soffits. Operates from -30 to 60 degrees Celsius in outdoor and indoor environments.
- Built-In Mic, Alarm I/O, and Audio I/O: Integrated microphone for mono audio capture. External audio I/O (1 line in, 1 line out) and alarm I/O (1 input, 1 output) for integration with speakers, sirens, access control, and door contacts.
- H.265+, 512GB MicroSD, and PoE: H.265+ compression reduces bandwidth and storage requirements. Onboard microSD slot supports cards up to 512GB with ANR failover. PoE (802.3af Class 3, max 8W) delivers power and data through a single Ethernet cable. ONVIF S/G/T compatible.
Are Dome Security Cameras Better?
Dome cameras offer advantages over turrets and bullets in locations where vandal resistance and discreet appearance are priorities. The enclosed dome housing protects the lens and sensor from direct physical contact, and the IK08 impact rating on the DS-2CD2547G2-LS means the camera can take a hit without losing alignment. The compact profile sits flush against ceilings, making it less conspicuous in retail, hospitality, and office environments. For low-light performance, this model goes further with ColorVu technology and an F1.0 aperture that captures full-color video in conditions where standard dome cameras would switch to grayscale IR.
