Product Overview

Integrating active deterrence measures alongside full-colour night imaging, the DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL is an 8MP Smart Hybrid Light ColorVu turret IP camera engineered for eave, soffit, and wall installations across driveways, shopfronts, car parks, and commercial entrances where standard IR recording falls short. Equipped with an ultra-wide F1.0 aperture, Super Confocal Lens, and ColorVu Gen 2 technology, it records vibrant full-colour footage after dark without requiring constant visible illumination. Its Smart Hybrid Light engine intelligently toggles between infrared and warm white light depending on detected motion to manage ambient light output. Powered by AcuSense deep learning analytics, the camera isolates human and vehicle targets to filter out non-critical motion, while an onboard strobe light and speaker deliver an immediate response directly at the camera position. Offered in 2.8mm and 4mm fixed lens configurations, the IP67-rated enclosure ensures robust outdoor performance across residential and commercial properties.

Key Capabilities

8MP 4K Ultra HD Resolution

Operating at 3840 × 2160 pixels, this camera captures exceptional detail needed to identify faces, recognize license plates within DORI limits, identify clothing, and provide superior evidence compared to lower-resolution models at the same location.

Smart Hybrid Lighting Control

Select between standard IR, continuous white illumination, or intelligent mode—activating warm white LEDs upon human or vehicle detection and returning to discrete IR during quiet periods to reduce ambient light exposure.

ColorVu Night Imaging

Utilizing an F1.0 Super Aperture combined with a Super Confocal Lens, ColorVu technology maintains full-colour scene details down to extreme low-light levels of 0.0005 Lux where standard cameras shift to black-and-white.

AcuSense Target Filtering

Deep learning algorithms categorize human and vehicle activity to discard background movement like swaying branches, shadow shifts, or animals, dramatically cutting down on nuisance notifications.

Active Strobe and Speaker Deterrence

An onboard flashing strobe and speaker trigger instantly upon event detection, issuing a direct visual and audible warning to deter intruders across driveways, gates, loading bays, and storefronts.

Integrated Two-Way Audio

Built-in microphone and speaker hardware support two-way voice communication via compatible monitoring platforms, facilitating remote interaction at access gates, loading zones, and entry doors.

Why Choose the DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL

While traditional turret cameras only record video, the DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL actively manages your site: it filters targets using AcuSense deep learning, adjusts its lighting automatically via Smart Hybrid Light, retains low-light colour details through its F1.0 aperture and ColorVu Gen 2 sensor, and triggers strobe warnings and audio alerts automatically. Its 130dB True Wide Dynamic Range balances challenging backlit entrances and glass facades where standard cameras fail to resolve subjects. Combining active deterrence, colour night imaging, and intelligent filtering inside a compact turret housing, this model offers a complete solution without extra add-on devices. Available through Security Wholesalers and ready to ship.

Buyer Decision Tips

Lens Selection – 2.8mm vs 4mm: Select the 2.8mm lens option for wide spatial coverage across driveways, courtyards, parking areas, and shop fronts (approx. 109° horizontal FOV). Choose the 4mm lens option when targeting narrow access gates, doors, or vehicle approach lanes (approx. 93° horizontal FOV). The 4mm model extends DORI detection distance to 109m compared to 89m on the 2.8mm model.
Fixed Lens vs. PTZ Camera: This unit features a fixed turret body; its field of view is adjusted manually during mounting and cannot be altered remotely. If your installation requires post-installation optical zoom, motorized lens adjustments, or automated target tracking, consider a PTZ or varifocal camera model instead.

Ideal Use Cases

Residential Driveways

The 2.8mm wide lens monitors open property approaches, triggering warm white light and colour recording upon human or vehicle motion for clear event identification.

Shopfront and Retail Entrances

130dB WDR handles backlit glass storefronts, while AcuSense AI filtering and active strobe/speaker alerts allow staff or monitoring services to respond to after-hours threats.

Car Parks and Loading Areas

An IP67-rated housing protects against weather exposure, while the 40m IR range covers open parking spaces and loading bays with full-colour activation on movement.

Monitored Access Gates

Two-way audio via the built-in speaker and microphone enables remote operators to communicate directly with visitors at gates and entry control points.

Warehouse Perimeters

The 4mm lens focal option extends DORI detection out to 109m, making it suited for long fence lines, rear yards, and narrow approach paths.

Strata and Multi-Tenancy Properties

The compact turret housing mounts neatly beneath eaves and soffits around common areas and visitor bays, using AcuSense to eliminate false alerts in shared spaces.

Choosing the Right Model

Choose this model if…

  • You select the 2.8mm option: You need wide coverage across driveways, courtyards, shopfronts, or open parking areas.
  • You select the 4mm option: You want targeted coverage along specific gates, pathways, entry lanes, or longer distance setups (up to 109m detection).
  • You prefer this over standard IR: You require 24/7 low-light colour imaging, Smart Hybrid Light switching, active deterrence, two-way audio, and AcuSense AI filtering in one turret camera.

Choose a different model if…

  • You require remote optical zoom or pan/tilt movement. Fixed turret lenses cannot be adjusted post-installation. Choose a PTZ or varifocal camera instead.

FAQs

1. What makes Smart Hybrid Light different from standard white-light ColorVu cameras?

Standard white-light cameras run visible LEDs continuously after dark. Smart Hybrid Light uses invisible IR illumination by default and switches to warm white LEDs only when human or vehicle targets are detected, minimizing light pollution while preserving full-colour recording during events.

2. Can the DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL be mounted under eaves or on wall brackets?

Yes. The turret design allows mounting under eaves, soffits, or onto vertical walls. Compatible junction boxes or wall brackets can be added for cable concealment. The IP67 rating ensures complete protection against rain and dust exposure.

3. Does this model support two-way audio?

Yes. It incorporates both a built-in microphone and a built-in speaker, enabling two-way voice talkthrough via compatible NVR systems or mobile software at gates and entryways.

4. How does the strobe and speaker active deterrence function?

When an AcuSense detection rule triggers, the camera automatically flashes its onboard strobe light and emits an audio warning through the speaker. These responses can be customized or manually activated via connected software.

5. What is the night illumination range of this unit?

The camera provides up to 40m IR distance and up to 30m warm white light illumination range, depending on installation height and target reflectivity.

6. Is a Hikvision NVR required to utilize all camera features?

Pairing the camera with a compatible Hikvision NVR or Hik-Connect platform ensures full access to AcuSense AI events, Smart Hybrid Light switching rules, and active deterrence settings.

7. How does the camera handle intensely backlit scenes like glass storefronts?

Hardware 130dB True WDR dynamically balances bright outdoor light and dark interior areas, retaining detailed image clarity across high-contrast doorways and entrances.
