Product SKU: DS-2CD2087G2H-LIU
Product Overview
The Hikvision DS-2CD2087G2H-LIU is an 8MP Outdoor ColorVu mini bullet camera designed for buyers who need high-resolution colour surveillance, smart lighting and built-in audio in a compact outdoor-ready camera. It suits home entrances, retail stores, parking bays, driveways, offices and outdoor commercial areas where colour detail, reliable detection and weather resistance are important. With a fixed 2.8mm lens, Smart Hybrid Light, F1.0 super-aperture lens, human and vehicle classification, 130dB true WDR and H.265+ compression, this model is built for clear day and night monitoring. Its built-in microphone, IP67-rated housing and support for microSD storage up to 512GB also make it a practical choice for standalone or NVR-based security systems.
Key Capabilities
8MP Ultra-HD Detail
The 3840 × 2160 resolution provides high-detail footage for entrances, shopfronts, parking areas and commercial monitoring points. This is useful where clear playback and strong image detail matter.
ColorVu 24/7 Colour Imaging
The F1.0 super-aperture lens and ColorVu technology help capture vivid colour footage in low-light scenes. This supports easier review of clothing, vehicles and scene context after dark.
Smart Hybrid Light
Smart Hybrid Light can use IR or white light up to 40m, helping balance discreet monitoring with full-colour visibility when movement is detected or when the scene requires extra illumination.
Human and Vehicle Classification
AcuSense deep learning helps focus alerts on people and vehicles rather than every motion trigger. This can reduce false alarms caused by rain, shadows, pets, insects or moving foliage.
Built-In Microphone
The built-in microphone records real-time audio alongside video, adding useful context to events around home entrances, storefronts, parking bays and public-facing areas.
Outdoor-Ready Durability
The IP67-rated housing protects against dust, rain and harsh outdoor conditions, making the camera suitable for Australian residential, retail and commercial installations.
Best For
- Home Entrances: Captures clear colour footage of visitors, faces and clothing day and night.
- Small Retail Stores: Suitable for monitoring entrances, aisles, display areas and after-hours movement with full-colour detail.
- Parking Bays: Useful where colour footage and motion-triggered lighting can help deter unwanted access.
- Driveways: A practical choice for vehicle and pedestrian monitoring with 8MP detail and smart detection.
- Outdoor Commercial Areas: Works well around building approaches, service entries and public-facing exterior zones.
Why Choose the DS-2CD2087G2H-LIU
The DS-2CD2087G2H-LIU is worth choosing when you need an 8MP mini bullet camera that combines ColorVu night imaging, Smart Hybrid Light and built-in audio recording in one compact unit. Compared with a standard IR-only camera, this model gives more flexible lighting control and clearer colour detail when colour evidence is important. The 2.8mm lens provides wide coverage for entrances, storefronts and driveways, while AcuSense-style human and vehicle classification helps make alerts more accurate. As part of the Security Wholesalers range, it suits buyers who want a reliable outdoor camera with strong detail, smart lighting and practical audio context.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: Choose the 2.8mm model when you need wider close-range coverage across entrances, driveways, parking bays or retail areas. Choose the 4mm option if a more focused view is required.
Buyer Tip: Smart Hybrid Light is useful when you want flexibility between IR and white light. If you need a built-in speaker, strobe light or two-way audio talk-back, choose a model that specifically includes those deterrence functions.

FAQs
- Does the DS-2CD2087G2H-LIU record in colour at night?
Yes. The DS-2CD2087G2H-LIU uses ColorVu technology and an F1.0 super-aperture lens to capture vivid colour footage in low-light environments. Smart Hybrid Light can also use white light when needed, helping retain colour detail around entrances, shops, parking bays and outdoor areas.
- What does Smart Hybrid Light do?
Smart Hybrid Light allows the camera to use infrared or white light illumination depending on the scene and configuration. This gives the camera more flexible night-time behaviour, supporting discreet IR-style monitoring when appropriate and colour visibility when white light is required.
- Does this camera include audio?
Yes. The DS-2CD2087G2H-LIU includes a built-in microphone for real-time audio monitoring. This can add useful context when reviewing activity around doors, retail spaces, parking bays and commercial entrances. It should not be confused with two-way audio unless a speaker function is separately confirmed.
- Does it have two-way audio?
The supplied content confirms a built-in microphone for the -U model, but it does not clearly confirm a built-in speaker for two-way talk-back. Choose a model with a listed speaker or two-way audio feature if live talk-back is required.
- How does human and vehicle classification help?
Human and vehicle classification helps reduce false alarms by focusing on people and vehicles rather than irrelevant motion. This can reduce unwanted notifications caused by rain, moving trees, animals, insects, headlights or shadows, making alerts more useful for homes and businesses.
- How far does the night light reach?
The supplied information lists IR and white light illumination up to 40m. Actual results can vary based on mounting height, scene reflectivity, lens selection, target distance and surrounding lighting. For many entrances, parking bays and driveway areas, this provides practical night coverage.
- Is this camera suitable for outdoor installation?
Yes. The DS-2CD2087G2H-LIU has an IP67-rated housing, making it suitable for outdoor use in dust, rain and harsh weather. It is a strong option for Australian residential, retail and commercial sites where weather protection is required.
- Can this camera record locally?
Yes. The camera supports microSD storage up to 512GB, along with NAS storage and ANR support. Local storage can be useful for backup recording, although many systems still use a compatible NVR for centralised recording, playback and longer retention.
- Why choose the 2.8mm lens?
The 2.8mm lens provides a wider approximate 104° horizontal field of view, making it useful for entrances, driveways, parking bays, retail aisles and general outdoor monitoring. A 4mm lens may be better where a narrower and more focused view is required.
