Product SKU: DS-2CD2187G2H-LISU
Product Overview
The Hikvision DS-2CD2187G2H-LISU is an 8MP ColorVu fixed dome network camera designed for outdoor surveillance where full-colour night detail, intelligent detection, audio capture and vandal-resistant protection are important. It suits homes, driveways, storefronts, building entrances, offices, schools, warehouses and high-security outdoor areas where a compact dome camera is preferred over a turret or bullet style. With Smart Hybrid Light, ColourVu Gen 2, an F1.0 lens and 3840 × 2160 resolution, it can capture clear colour footage in low light while using IR, white light or smart illumination behaviour as needed. AcuSense human and vehicle classification helps reduce false alarms, while IP67 weather resistance and IK10 impact protection make it suitable for exposed and accessible mounting locations.
Key Capabilities
8MP Ultra-HD Dome Coverage
The 3840 × 2160 resolution gives this dome camera strong image detail for fixed surveillance areas. This is useful where customers need clearer playback across driveways, shopfronts, entrances, corridors, yards and outdoor access points.
ColourVu Gen 2 Night Imaging
ColourVu Gen 2 and the F1.0 lens help the camera capture colour detail in very low light. This can make night footage more useful when clothing colour, vehicle colour or surrounding scene detail matters during review.
Smart Hybrid Light Control
Smart Hybrid Light allows IR, white light or smart mode behaviour depending on the installation needs. This is useful when buyers want more discreet night monitoring most of the time, with colour capture available when events occur.
AcuSense Human and Vehicle Filtering
AcuSense deep learning helps classify people and vehicles so alerts are more relevant. In real installations, this can reduce unnecessary notifications caused by rain, shadows, trees, insects, animals or general background movement.
Built-In Microphone
The built-in microphone records audio alongside video, adding useful context during incident playback. This can help around entrances, reception areas, outdoor access points and other monitored zones where sound may support event review.
Vandal-Resistant Outdoor Design
The IP67 and IK10-rated dome housing makes this camera suitable for outdoor and accessible mounting locations. It is a practical choice where weather exposure, impact resistance and a more compact appearance are important.
Best For
- Driveways and Front Yards: Suitable for fixed outdoor monitoring where colour night detail and human or vehicle filtering are useful.
- Storefronts and Building Entrances: A good fit for entry points where 130 dB WDR, audio capture and full-colour footage can assist review.
- High-Security Outdoor Spaces: Useful for exposed areas where IP67 weather resistance and IK10 vandal protection are important.
- Schools, Offices and Commercial Sites: Suitable for walkways, side entries, reception-adjacent areas and external access points.
- Locations Requiring a Dome Form Factor: The fixed dome design suits installations where a compact and impact-resistant camera is preferred over a bullet camera.
Why Choose the DS-2CD2187G2H-LISU
Choose the DS-2CD2187G2H-LISU when you want an 8MP dome camera that combines full-colour night imaging, AcuSense event filtering, built-in audio and rugged outdoor protection. A standard dome camera may provide basic night vision, but this model adds ColourVu Gen 2, Smart Hybrid Light, 130 dB WDR, human and vehicle classification, microSD support up to 512 GB and a vandal-resistant IK10 housing. It is especially useful where the camera may be installed in an accessible area and where colour detail at night matters. For customers comparing vandal-resistant dome cameras supplied by Security Wholesalers, the key advantage is the balance of colour night performance, smart detection and compact outdoor durability.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: Choose the 2.8 mm lens if you need broad close-range coverage across a driveway, yard, shopfront or general outdoor area. Choose the 4 mm lens if you need a tighter view of an entrance, corridor, side path or defined access point.
Buyer Tip: A dome camera is often preferred where vandal resistance and a compact appearance matter. If you want a more visible camera presence for deterrence, a bullet-style model may be more suitable.

FAQs
- Is the DS-2CD2187G2H-LISU suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. The DS-2CD2187G2H-LISU is suitable for outdoor use with IP67 weather protection and IK10 vandal resistance. It can be used around driveways, entrances, storefronts, outdoor walkways and high-security spaces. Correct mounting, sealed cabling and suitable positioning are still important for reliable long-term outdoor performance.
- Does this camera record colour footage at night?
Yes. This model uses ColourVu Gen 2, an F1.0 lens and Smart Hybrid Light to support full-colour low-light footage. This is useful when colour information, such as clothing, vehicle colour or scene detail, may help during incident review compared with standard black-and-white night footage.
- What is Smart Hybrid Light used for?
Smart Hybrid Light allows the camera to use IR, white light or smart illumination behaviour. In practice, it can stay more discreet with IR when needed, while still allowing white light and colour capture when the configured mode or event requires it. This is useful around entrances, driveways and storefronts.
- Does the DS-2CD2187G2H-LISU include a built-in microphone?
Yes. The DS-2CD2187G2H-LISU includes a built-in microphone for audio capture. This can add useful context to recorded footage around entrances, walkways, shopfronts and monitored outdoor areas. Buyers should consider local audio recording requirements and configure the system appropriately during installation.
- Is this camera vandal resistant?
Yes. This model has an IK10 vandal-resistant rating, making it useful where the camera may be accessible or at risk of impact. The fixed dome design is often chosen for public-facing locations, building entrances, schools, offices and commercial sites where a more protected camera body is preferred.
- Should I choose the 2.8 mm or 4 mm lens?
Choose the 2.8 mm lens for wider close-range coverage across areas such as driveways, yards and storefronts. Choose the 4 mm lens for a narrower, more focused view of entrances, corridors or access points. Security Wholesalers buyers should match lens choice to scene width and subject distance.
- How does AcuSense help reduce false alarms?
AcuSense helps distinguish people and vehicles from less relevant motion. This can reduce false alarms caused by rain, trees, shadows, insects, animals or other background movement. It is useful for outdoor sites where standard motion detection may create too many unnecessary alerts or recordings.
- Does this camera support local storage?
Yes. The DS-2CD2187G2H-LISU supports microSD storage up to 512 GB. This can be useful for local backup recording, edge storage or smaller installations where onboard recording is part of the design. For multi-camera systems, an NVR is still commonly used for centralised storage and easier playback.
- Is a dome camera better than a bullet camera for this installation?
A dome camera is often better when vandal resistance, a compact appearance and lower-profile mounting are important. A bullet camera may be more visible and can provide a stronger visual deterrent. Choose this model when you want 8MP ColourVu performance in a more protected dome-style housing.
