HIKVISION DS-2CD2T47G3-LIY ColorVu (4 MP/2.8 MM) - PoE IP CAMERA

Flagship ColorVu technology for color at up to 60 meters

DS-2CD2T47G3-LIY belongs to the ColorVu lineup — Hikvision's proprietary color night vision technology — and pairs it with illumination effective up to 60 m and a 1/1.8" sensor, noticeably larger than the typical 1/2.8"-1/2.9" in base models.

Where this camera is actually used

A massive metal bullet housing with an IP67 rating and a -30°C to +60°C operating range fits an extended perimeter, a driveway, or a parking area where color footage matters at a considerable distance from the camera, not just nearby.

What problem this camera actually solves

Most cameras with color night vision are only effective at a short distance of a few meters — beyond that, color footage loses detail or falls back to black-and-white entirely. DS-2CD2T47G3-LIY solves this by combining strong 60 m illumination with a large sensor: color detail is preserved much further than a typical camera in this class.

4 MP with object recognition

A 111° field of view delivers wide coverage from a single mounting point. Built-in classification separately flags a person and a vehicle while preserving full color information even at distance.

PoE, a 512 GB SD card, and three ONVIF profiles

PoE 802.3af power (12.5 W) — higher power reflects the energy demands of long-range color illumination. Support for three ONVIF profiles (Profile S, Profile T, Profile G) and the ISUP protocol guarantee compatibility with a wide range of systems.

A massive housing reflecting real components

A weight of 1.2 kg and a length of almost 29 cm aren't decorative sizing — they reflect genuinely more powerful illumination and optics inside. Plan for a sturdier mounting bracket from the start.

When ColorVu at this range is justified

If the typical observation distance at your site doesn't exceed 10-15 m, the difference between this model and a standard color camera would be barely noticeable — the extra cost is justified specifically on extended stretches needing color at considerable distance.

One camera instead of several ordinary ones on an extended perimeter

Thanks to combining color vision with a 60 m range, one such camera covers a stretch that would otherwise need two or three ordinary cameras with a shorter color-detail distance.

Precise color identification of clothing or a vehicle at distance

In police reports or insurance cases, an exact color description — "a blue jacket" rather than "something dark" — significantly raises the value of testimony. ColorVu at 60 m preserves that advantage even where an event happens far from the camera.

Stable year-round operation in a demanding climate

A -30°C to +60°C operating range confirms readiness for year-round outdoor use even in a region with sharp seasonal swings — an important factor for a perimeter where winter service access can be difficult.

Who this model is for

DS-2CD2T47G3-LIY ColorVu is the pick for an owner of an extended perimeter who needs color night vision at a considerable distance from the mounting point, not just close to the camera.
