Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2-LSU/SL 8 MP ColorVu Active-Deterrence Turret Camera
What would it mean to see important activity in full color—even after ordinary cameras switch to black and white? The Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2-LSU/SL combines 8 MP detail, 24/7 ColorVu imaging, intelligent human and vehicle classification, and proactive deterrence in one rugged turret camera.
Instead of simply recording an incident, its strobe light and audible warning can help discourage unwanted activity as it happens. Built-in two-way audio also lets you hear and speak through the camera, giving you a more immediate way to verify events and respond.
For homes and businesses that need clearer evidence, more relevant alerts, and greater control, this camera delivers a complete security experience without requiring several separate devices.
Why Buyers Choose This Model
8 MP Ultra-High-Definition Imaging — See the Details That Matter
With resolution up to 3840 × 2160, the camera captures detailed video that can make it easier to review people, vehicles, clothing, and activity around your property.
24/7 ColorVu Imaging — Keep Useful Color Information at Night
Would identifying the color of a vehicle or a person’s clothing help you better understand an incident? The F1.0 aperture, high-performance sensor, and white supplementary light work together to provide full-color imaging around the clock.
Human and Vehicle Classification — Focus on Relevant Activity
Deep-learning technology allows the camera to classify human and vehicle targets. This helps you concentrate on activity that may deserve attention instead of treating every detected movement the same way.
Active Strobe and Audible Warning — Respond Before an Incident Progresses
The integrated strobe light and audio alarm can warn intruders that the area is being monitored. This gives your security system a proactive deterrence layer instead of relying only on recorded evidence afterward.
Built-In Two-Way Audio — Hear, Verify, and Communicate
A built-in microphone and 1.5 W speaker let you listen and speak through the camera in real time. Communicate with visitors, address unexpected activity, or issue a verbal warning without being physically present.
130 dB Wide Dynamic Range — Get Clearer Images in Difficult Lighting
Strong sunlight, shadows, and backlit entrances can hide important details. The camera’s 130 dB WDR helps balance bright and dark portions of the image so the scene remains more useful.
Up to 30 m Smart White Light — Extend Full-Color Visibility
The built-in white light reaches up to 30 meters and supports Smart Supplement Light. This helps illuminate dark areas so you can maintain color video without installing a separate light beside the camera.
Smart Perimeter Events — Monitor Important Areas More Effectively
Line crossing, intrusion, region entrance, and region exiting detection let you define the activity that matters around your property. Supported human and vehicle filtering makes these tools especially useful for entrances, driveways, and restricted areas.
Built-In Storage Support — Keep a Local Recording Option
The memory-card slot supports up to 512 GB of microSD, microSDHC, microSDXC, or TF storage. The camera also supports NAS recording and Automatic Network Replenishment for more flexible recording arrangements.
H.265+ Compression — Use Storage and Bandwidth More Efficiently
Efficient H.265+ compression helps manage the storage and network demands of high-resolution video, making it easier to operate an 8 MP surveillance system over time.
PoE Connectivity — Simplify Installation
IEEE 802.3af PoE allows compatible equipment to carry power and network data through the Ethernet connection. The camera also supports 12 VDC power when a separate power source is preferred.
IP67 Metal Construction — Dependable Indoor or Outdoor Protection
The metal housing is rated IP67 against water and dust and supports operation from -30°C to 60°C (-22°F to 140°F). This makes the camera suitable for a wide range of standard indoor and outdoor installations.
2.8 mm or 4 mm Lens Options — Choose the View Your Property Needs
Select the 2.8 mm lens for a wider 102° horizontal view or the 4 mm lens for a narrower 88° horizontal view. This gives you flexibility when covering open areas, entrances, or more concentrated viewing zones.
What This Helps You Avoid
Imagine discovering an incident only to find that the footage is too dark, the important colors are missing, or the subject is difficult to distinguish. A basic camera may show that something happened without giving you the visual detail needed to understand it clearly.
Now consider the time lost checking alerts caused by activity that was not relevant. Without target classification and configurable smart events, reviewing security footage can become frustrating and inefficient.
- Dark nighttime footage with limited color information
- Insufficient detail when reviewing important events
- Treating every type of detected movement as equally important
- Waiting until after an incident to issue a warning
- Installing separate devices for lighting and two-way communication
- Losing clarity at entrances affected by shadows or strong backlighting
- Using more storage and bandwidth than necessary for high-resolution video
The DS-2CD2387G2-LSU/SL brings clear 8 MP video, full-color night imaging, intelligent event detection, deterrence, and two-way communication together. The result is a camera that helps you move from simply recording activity to seeing it more clearly, understanding it faster, and responding with greater confidence.
