Hikvision have also helpfully started publishing 2 camera features which should be of help to forum members : Startup and Operating Conditions -30 °C to +60 °C (-22 °F to +140 °F), humidity 95% or less (non-condensing)

Many forum members are aware that surveillance cameras are installed for a purpose, not to just give a pretty overview picture that turns out to be of no use after recording an incident, so being aware of DORI distances is important.

The ‘low illumination’ scene makes interesting changes to the image, but the default exposure of 1/6 could also mislead if not noticed. The Hikvision DS-2CD2347G1-LU is a 4MP turret camera from the new ColorVu range of cameras release in June 2019.

It’s not a totally even comparison as the DS-2CD2087G2-LU camera has a 6mm lens, the others have a 4mm lens. Startup and Operating Conditions -30 °C to 60 °C (-22 °F to 140 °F). Humidity 95% or less (non-condensing) With Video quality=Medium, at 15fps, the actual uncapped bitrate on a static scene is the same when using either h.264 or h.265Power Consumption and Current: 12 VDC, 0.5 A, max. 6 W, PoE (802.3af, 36 V to 57 V), 0.2 A to 0.1 A, max. 7.5 W Then I’ve dropped the exposure to 1/500 and 1/1000 so the 4MP and 8MP ColorVu cameras can be compared. The camera isn’t correctly reporting Smart Events to the NVR or management system. While VCA data is being passed over correctly, intrusion detection and line crossing detection are labelled as motion detection. This doesn’t seem to depend on the active codec. Tested via DS-7604NI-K1/4P with 3.4.103 firmware. The low-light performance is very similar to the familiar DS-2CD2347G1-L(U) ColorVu camera. It uses the same type 62 sensor. Comparison shots (plenty of these in other threads) - I‘ve only just found this thread and hadn’t realised you are reviewing this camera. Will you be posting more info to look out for? Motion test results would be good.

OK Video quality. A huge effect on bitrate, with 15fps, from 200kbps to 6Mbps from the lowest to the highest setting.The firmware inherits the changes and improvements and quirks first seen in the ColorVu G2 cameras : Initial review of the DS-2CD2347G2-L(U) ColorVu 2.0 IP camera. Together with high-end Hikvision memory card, memory card encryption and health detection are supported So what I’ve done here is some sample snapshots from the 8MP DS-2CD2087G2-LU, the original 4MP IPC-T2347G-LU (DS-2CD2347G1-LU) and the 8MP IPC-T2385G-I (DS-2CD2385G-I).

Smart Event Line crossing detection, intrusion detection, object removal detection, unattended baggage detection, Face Detection Despite the oft-quoted advice on the forum to ‘not chase the mega-pixels’, the combination of the low-light performance and 8MP resolution makes the digital zoom genuinely useful and dilutes that advice in this case. A review wouldn’t be complete without some comparison images from other similar surveillance cameras. OK Video quality. A huge effect on bitrate, from 200kbps to 6Mbps from the lowest to the highest setting.

The G3 firmware filesize is a lot bigger than the G1 series – 80MB vs 36MB. The camera doesn’t seem to be running a dual OS. With a working temperature of -30 °C to +60 °C, IP66 weather-proof housing, a panoramic & rotation movement of 360° and a tilt of 75°, this is perfect for outdoor use, although it can be for indoor use too. This was OK via the web GUI, and OK after using the upc (don’t try this at home) command at the bootloader. It may depend on the specific method used to ‘reset to Inactive’.
