Product Overview

The Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2-LU is a high-performance 8MP (4K) outdoor turret IP camera engineered to deliver continuous 24/7 full-color video. Powered by ColorVu technology, an advanced F1.0 super-aperture lens, and a warm white light supplement, it captures vivid, full-color surveillance imagery even in total darkness up to 30 meters. Integrated AcuSense deep-learning algorithms categorize motion detection by target type, effectively filtering out false alerts triggered by animals, foliage, or weather elements. Complete with an onboard noise-canceling microphone for real-time audio capture, 130dB True WDR for high-contrast scenes, and an IP67 weatherproof turret chassis, it provides ideal round-the-clock protection for Australian residential and commercial applications.

Key Capabilities

ColorVu 24/7 Full-Color Imaging

Features an advanced F1.0 super-aperture lens and low-light sensor with warm supplemental light to capture vivid color video day and night.

AcuSense Intelligent Target Filtering

Deep learning algorithms focus event tracking specifically on human and vehicle targets, reducing false notifications from wind, rain, or small animals.

Onboard Audio Capture

Built-in high-sensitivity microphone records synchronized real-time audio along with high-definition 4K video feeds.

130dB True WDR Clarity

Combines different exposure settings to eliminate backlight glare and dark shadows in extreme high-contrast lighting environments.

Efficient H.265+ Compression

Optimizes video stream processing to significantly reduce bandwidth and storage requirements on NVR hard drives without sacrificing 8MP image quality.

Durable Weatherproof Casing

Robust metal chassis rated IP67 ensures long-term outdoor operation across diverse and challenging climate conditions.

Buyer Decision Tips

Lighting Considerations: ColorVu cameras utilize a soft, warm white light in complete darkness to maintain full color. If visible night illumination is undesirable for your application, consider a standard IR camera or a Smart Hybrid Light model.
Storage Setup: Connects directly to Hikvision AcuSense NVRs for long-term recording or functions independently using an internal MicroSD card slot (up to 256 GB).
Mounting Accessories: For clean cable installation and weather protection, pair this camera with a compatible Hikvision wall mount or junction box (e.g., DS-1280ZJ-M).
Audible / Visual Warning Options: If your project requires built-in strobe lights and speaker alarms, consider the LiveGuard series (e.g., DS-2CD2387G2-LSU/SL).

  • You prefer a traditional bullet style casing. Look at the Hikvision ColorVu Bullet series.

FAQs

How does ColorVu technology capture full-color video in total darkness?

ColorVu utilizes an F1.0 super-aperture lens to absorb maximum light along with an ultra-sensitive sensor. When ambient light drops below minimum thresholds, built-in warm white LEDs supply soft supplemental lighting up to 30m.

Can the warm white light feature be dimmed or scheduled?

Yes. Light brightness and operation schedules can be easily adjusted via the camera settings menu or Hik-Connect mobile app.

Does this camera include a built-in speaker for two-way audio?

No. The DS-2CD2387G2-LU includes an onboard microphone for audio recording. For two-way voice talk and built-in speaker alerts, select the LiveGuard (LSU/SL) series.

Can this camera work without an NVR recorder?

Yes. It supports local storage via an onboard MicroSD slot (up to 256 GB) and can be accessed directly using the Hik-Connect mobile app.

How is power supplied to the camera?

It can be powered via standard Power over Ethernet (PoE 802.3af) through a single network cable or using a local 12V DC power adapter.
