Hikvision DS-2CD2147G2-L 4MP Gen2 Outdoor ColorVu Dome Camera with Acusense 30m White LED 2.8mm
The Hikvision DS-2CD2147G2-L is a 4 MP ColorVu fixed dome that records vivid full-colour video around the clock, using a large F1.0 aperture and a white-light supplement up to 30 m to keep colour after dark. AcuSense deep learning classifies people and vehicles to cut false alarms, and an IP67, IK10 housing handles weather and knocks.

§ 01Overview
What the DS-2CD2147G2-L is
The Hikvision DS-2CD2147G2-L is a 4 MP ColorVu dome for sites that want colour at night rather than black-and-white infrared.
A 1/1.8" sensor and an F1.0 aperture pull in enough light to keep faces, clothing and vehicle colours visible in low light, and a white-light supplement reaches up to 30 m so the picture stays in full colour even when ambient light fades.
130 dB WDR keeps bright and shaded areas balanced in the same frame.
AcuSense adds the intelligence.
Hikvision's deep-learning analytics classify human and vehicle targets, so motion and perimeter alarms fire on people and cars and ignore animals, rain and moving plants, and you can filter recordings by person or vehicle to find an event quickly.
The camera records 2688 x 1520 video and uses H.265+ to keep bandwidth and storage down.
The dome is rated IP67 against dust and rain and IK10 against impact, so it suits entrances, shopfronts and car parks where it might be exposed or knocked, and it takes a 2.8 mm or 4 mm lens to set the field of view.
Power and network it over one PoE cable, or use 12 VDC, and record it to a Hikvision AcuSense NVR.
Note this is the -L model, which is video-only with no built-in microphone; if you need audio, choose the -LSU version that adds a microphone.
