Hikvision DS-2CD2047G2H-LIU – 4 MP ColourVu Smart Hybrid-Light Bullet Camera
Always-On Colour, Always-On Security
Keep an eagle eye on your home, small business, or farm – day and night – with Hikvision’s DS-2CD2047G2H-LIU. The 4-megapixel ColourVu sensor captures vivid, full-colour footage even in near-total darkness, while its Smart Hybrid Light automatically switches between gentle white-light colour and stealthy infrared to match the scene. A built-in mic, loudspeaker, and strobe let you talk back and actively deter intruders, so you’re not just recording crime – you’re preventing it.
