Hikvision Colorvu DS-2CD2T67G2P-LSU-SL 6mp Dual Lens Stobe Audio Bullet Camera,2.8mm, Mic

Model: DS-2CD2T67G2P-LSU-SL

Who This Is For

Property managers specifying active deterrence across wide outdoor approaches will find the Hikvision ColorVu DS-2CD2T67G2P-LSU-SL purpose-built for exactly that task. The dual 2.8mm lens configuration delivers a combined panoramic field of view from a single bullet housing, eliminating the blind spots common to single-lens cameras on fence lines, carparks, and loading areas. The integrated strobe light and built-in microphone pair with full-colour ColorVu imaging to produce footage with genuine colour detail at night - without relying on infrared. When an intrusion event triggers the strobe and audio warning, the camera is already recording in colour. This makes it well-suited to sites where both documentation quality and on-site deterrence matter: logistics yards, school perimeters, retail centres, and commercial properties where coverage breadth and active response need to come from a single mounting point.

What This Camera Actually Does

Who Buys This Model

• Commercial Property Managers: Specifying a single camera that covers a wide carpark entry or pedestrian access point in full colour at night, without installing multiple single-lens units side by side.
• School and Education Facility Operators: Installing along perimeter fencing where panoramic coverage and an on-camera strobe warning replaces the need for separate alarm sounders or external deterrent lighting.
• Logistics and Freight Sites: Covering loading dock entries and yard gates where shift changes happen at night and colour identification of vehicles and personnel matters for incident accountability.
• Security Installers on Multi-Site Retail Projects: Reducing camera count per location by using dual-lens panoramic coverage on corner positions, cutting installation time and NVR channel usage on constrained budgets.

Honest Assessment

The DS-2CD2T67G2P-LSU-SL does three things well in combination: panoramic dual-lens coverage from a single mount point, genuine full-colour night imaging via ColorVu, and on-camera active deterrence through the integrated strobe. For sites that need breadth of coverage plus a visible response to intrusion events - without running cabling to multiple separate cameras and deterrent devices - this is a practical consolidation. The built-in microphone adds audio context to recorded events where permitted. Where this camera is not the right fit: if you need optical zoom, long-distance IR identification beyond the 2.8mm field of view, or dedicated ANPR on a single defined lane, a single-lens bullet or PTZ with motorised zoom will serve better. Installations requiring more than 180-degree combined coverage may also benefit from a dedicated fisheye or multi-sensor unit. Available through Security Australia, this camera suits sites where width of view and deterrence capability matter more than long-range identification reach.

Before You Buy

Quick Fit Check

• Good match if: You are covering a wide outdoor approach, carpark, or perimeter fence line and want full-colour night footage plus an on-camera strobe deterrent from a single wall or pole mount.
• Good match if: You need to reduce camera count on a site with limited NVR channels, and the dual-lens panoramic field of view can replace 2 single-lens bullets on a corner or entry point.
• You may need a different model if: Your primary requirement is long-distance identification of individuals or vehicles beyond 30-40 metres - a motorised zoom bullet or PTZ camera will give you the focal reach this fixed 2.8mm dual-lens setup cannot.

Real-World Scenarios

How It Compares

• Choose this if: You need panoramic dual-lens coverage, full-colour night imaging, and an integrated strobe deterrent all from a single bullet housing and a single NVR channel allocation.
• You may need a different model if: Your site requires long-range identification beyond 40 metres on a narrow defined approach - a single-lens bullet with a longer focal length or a PTZ with optical zoom will produce better identification detail at distance than fixed 2.8mm lenses.
• Pairs well with: A Hikvision-compatible NVR with sufficient per-port PoE budget (802.3at recommended), paired with a PoE switch or NVR that supports the camera's power draw when the strobe and supplemental light are active.

Common Questions

1. Does this camera produce colour footage at night or does it switch to black and white?

   It stays in full colour. ColorVu technology uses a large-aperture lens combined with a built-in supplemental white light to maintain colour output throughout low-light and night-time conditions. Unlike standard infrared cameras that switch to monochrome when light drops, this camera does not produce black-and-white footage - clothing colour, vehicle colour, and other identifying details remain visible in recordings after dark.

2. How many NVR channels does a dual-lens camera use?

   This depends on the NVR and how the camera streams. In most Hikvision NVR configurations, a dual-lens PanoVu camera occupies 2 channels - 1 per lens - rather than 1. Confirm your NVR's channel handling for multi-sensor cameras before purchasing to avoid running short on channel capacity. Some NVRs may display the combined panoramic view as a single stream depending on firmware version.

3. Will this camera work with a standard 802.3af PoE switch or NVR port?

   Not reliably. The DS-2CD2T67G2P-LSU-SL includes a strobe light and ColorVu supplemental lighting in addition to dual image sensors, which increases its power draw beyond the 15.4W ceiling of standard 802.3af. IEEE 802.3at PoE+ ports (up to 30W) are recommended. Check your switch or NVR's per-port power budget before deployment, particularly if multiple high-draw cameras are on the same switch simultaneously.

4. Does the strobe fire automatically or does someone have to trigger it manually?

   It fires automatically. The strobe is triggered by the camera's on-board event detection - typically motion detection or line crossing - configured through the camera's local settings. No manual intervention is required once the event rules are set up during commissioning. The trigger conditions, strobe duration, and sensitivity thresholds are all adjustable via the camera's web interface or through a compatible Hikvision NVR.

5. Will this camera record audio from the built-in microphone to an NVR?

   Yes, provided your NVR supports audio recording and is configured to do so. The built-in microphone captures ambient audio at the camera location. Audio is transmitted over the same network connection as the video stream. Note that recording audio in workplaces or public-facing areas in Australia may be subject to state and territory surveillance legislation - confirm compliance requirements for your specific installation location before enabling audio recording.

6. What is the combined field of view from both lenses?

   The combined panoramic field of view from the dual 2.8mm fixed lenses is wide - typically in the range of 180 degrees horizontally depending on the lens arrangement and stitching. The 2.8mm focal length on each lens provides a broad individual angle, and the dual-lens PanoVu design stitches or presents both views to give a single wide or split-view output. For precise DORI distances and the exact combined angle for your mounting height, refer to the Hikvision datasheet for this model. The team at Security Australia can assist with coverage planning if required.

7. Is this camera suitable for reading number plates?

   Not as a dedicated ANPR solution. The 2.8mm wide-angle focal length is designed for broad scene coverage rather than the narrow, zoomed view needed for consistent number plate capture. At typical mounting heights and distances, the wide field of view means vehicles appear small in frame. If number plate identification is a primary requirement, a dedicated ANPR camera with a longer focal length on a defined lane approach will produce significantly better results.
