Product Overview
This turret-style camera is built for eave, soffit, and wall mounting at outdoor commercial, industrial, and high-security sites where framing flexibility and low-light performance are both non-negotiable. The DS-2CD3H87G3-LIZSUY/SL combines an 8 MP (3840 x 2160) sensor with DarkFighter 2.0 technology and a large F1.2 aperture to maintain strong colour detail in very low ambient light. Equipped with a motorised varifocal 2.7-13.5 mm lens, it allows precise field-of-view adjustment after installation without repositioning the mount. Built with Smart Hybrid Light, it switches between IR and white-light illumination across up to 40 m, adapting to both discreet monitoring and active deterrence. It integrates a dual-microphone array, built-in speaker, strobe, and audio alarm to enable two-way audio and real-time warnings. IP67, IK10, and NEMA 4X ratings make this model suited to exposed, coastal, and industrial environments where lesser cameras deteriorate quickly.
Key Capabilities
DarkFighter 2.0 Low-Light Imaging
The F1.2 large-aperture lens paired with DarkFighter 2.0 processing draws in more light than standard sensors, producing full-colour footage in near-darkness. This matters for eave and soffit-mounted cameras covering poorly lit entries, laneways, or car parks.
Motorised Varifocal 2.7-13.5 mm Lens
Remote zoom and focus control across a 5x optical range lets installers fine-tune coverage from a wide 112-degree scene down to a narrow 41-degree telephoto shot. This removes the need to physically remount the camera if site conditions or coverage requirements change after installation.
Smart Hybrid Light to 40 m
Three selectable lighting modes – white-light, IR, and hybrid – allow the camera to deliver full-colour imaging for scene recognition or switch to discreet IR for longer covert monitoring, all within a single unit and up to 40 m from the camera.
Deep-Learning Analytics on HEOP 2.0
The onboard HEOP 2.0 AI platform delivers 1.5 TOPS of compute, supporting human and vehicle classification, perimeter detection rules including line crossing and intrusion, and third-party model integration via OpenDev SDK. This reduces nuisance alerts caused by wildlife or environmental movement.
Active Deterrence with Two-Way Audio
A built-in dual-microphone array and speaker enable live two-way audio between operator and on-site personnel. Combined with the strobe light and siren output, the camera can issue audible and visual warnings the moment an analytics event is triggered, before an incident escalates.
IP67, IK10, and NEMA 4X Protection
IP67 weatherproofing, IK10 vandal resistance, and NEMA 4X anti-corrosion coating on the Y-variant allow this camera to operate in coastal salt air, industrial chemical exposure, and high-humidity environments where standard outdoor cameras would degrade over time.
Best For
- Outdoor Commercial Perimeters: The motorised varifocal lens and 8 MP resolution allow installers to frame entry gates, fence lines, or loading dock approaches precisely, with enough detail for person and vehicle identification at distance.
- Coastal and Industrial Sites: The NEMA 4X anti-corrosion build on the Y-variant is specifically suited to marine, mining, chemical, or waterfront environments where salt air and humidity accelerate camera housing failure.
- Active Deterrence Applications: The confirmed dual microphone, speaker, strobe, and siren combination enables operators to warn and challenge intruders in real time, which makes it appropriate for unmanned sites or after-hours security.
- Sites with Evolving Coverage Needs: The 2.7-13.5 mm motorised range means the same camera can be reframed remotely as a site layout changes, without incurring reinstallation costs.
- 24/7 Outdoor Monitoring in Low Light: DarkFighter 2.0 and Smart Hybrid Light together maintain colour-accurate footage through the night, making this model well suited to car parks, school grounds, and retail precincts that operate around the clock.
Why Choose the DS-2CD3H87G3-LIZSUY/SL
The DS-2CD3H87G3-LIZSUY/SL brings together a set of confirmed capabilities that a standard fixed-lens turret camera simply cannot match. The F1.2 motorised lens gives installers both optical flexibility and superior light gathering in a single housing. Where a fixed-lens 8 MP camera would require physical remounting to adjust coverage, this model allows remote zoom and focus from the NVR or browser interface after the mount is set. The HEOP 2.0 platform with 1.5 TOPS goes beyond basic motion detection, classifying humans and vehicles with deep-learning accuracy and supporting custom third-party analytics. The confirmed built-in speaker and dual microphones make two-way audio and strobe-siren deterrence a native function, not an optional add-on. For installers and integrators sourcing cameras for demanding outdoor projects, the DS-2CD3H87G3-LIZSUY/SL is available through Security Wholesalers as part of the Hikvision Ultra-Series G3 range, and its IP67/IK10/NEMA 4X build makes it one of the most protection-rated turret cameras in the category.
Buyer Tip – Lens Position vs Coverage Distance: At 2.7 mm the horizontal field of view is approximately 112 degrees, making it suitable for wide-area coverage of open courtyards or building fronts. At 13.5 mm the field narrows to approximately 41 degrees, which concentrates coverage on a specific entry point or extends readable detail further down a driveway or corridor. Set the zoom position during commissioning with the intended detection zone in mind, and use the motorised focus to sharpen the image at that zoom level before locking the lens position.
Buyer Tip – NEMA 4X Variant for Corrosive Environments: The “/SL” suffix in the model number confirms the active deterrence (strobe and speaker) variant. The “-Y” designation within the broader product family refers to the NEMA 4X anti-corrosion coating. If the installation is within 500 m of a coastline, or in a food processing, mining, or chemical facility, verify with the supplier that the anti-corrosion coating is included in the specific SKU you are ordering.

Ideal Use Cases
Unmanned Commercial Perimeters
The strobe, siren, and two-way speaker allow an operator monitoring from a control room or mobile app to issue live audio challenges and visual warnings without staff being physically present at the site.
Coastal and Marine Environments
The NEMA 4X anti-corrosion coating on the Y-variant protects metal components against salt-air degradation, making this model appropriate for marinas, waterfront warehouses, and beachside retail or hospitality venues.
Car Parks and Loading Areas
Smart Hybrid Light delivers full-colour imaging across 40 m in low ambient conditions, and the deep-learning vehicle classification provides reliable detection filtering in high-traffic overnight zones where environmental false triggers are common.
School and Campus Facilities
The 8 MP resolution combined with motorised zoom allows a single camera to cover a broad outdoor area while also enabling detailed digital zoom into specific zones during incident review, reducing the total number of cameras required on large grounds.
Industrial and Mining Sites
IK10 vandal resistance and IP67 weatherproofing combined with the NEMA 4X anti-corrosion option suit this camera to harsh industrial settings where cameras face vibration, dust, chemical vapour, and physical contact from vehicles or machinery.
Driveways and Gated Entry Points
The motorised lens can be set to telephoto framing to capture gate or boom gate activity, vehicle approach detail, and number plate zones at distance, while the active deterrence functions can be triggered automatically by analytics on vehicle intrusion events.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: Your site requires motorised varifocal flexibility, full-colour low-light performance via DarkFighter 2.0, confirmed two-way audio with active deterrence (strobe and siren), deep-learning person and vehicle analytics, and a housing rated to IP67, IK10, and NEMA 4X for exposed or corrosive outdoor environments.
- Choose a different model if: Your application is purely indoor with no exposure to weather, physical impact, or corrosion – in those cases a fixed-lens indoor dome or turret with standard IP protection will deliver the same image quality at a lower cost point. Equally, if you do not require motorised lens adjustment or active deterrence, a simpler fixed-lens outdoor turret may reduce cost and complexity without sacrificing resolution.
FAQs
- What is the benefit of a motorised varifocal lens over a fixed lens on a turret camera?
A motorised varifocal lens like the 2.7-13.5 mm unit on the DS-2CD3H87G3-LIZSUY/SL allows an installer or operator to remotely adjust the zoom position and focus after the camera is physically mounted. This is useful when site layouts change, when you want to tighten coverage onto a specific zone, or when initial framing needs refining without climbing a ladder or relocating the mount.
- Can the camera operate in complete darkness without any external lighting?
Yes. The Smart Hybrid Light system includes built-in IR LEDs that provide up to approximately 40 m of illumination in zero ambient light. In IR mode the image is greyscale but retains strong detail for identification and event recording. If full colour is preferred in darkness, switching to white-light mode activates the onboard white LEDs which also serve as the visual deterrent strobe.
- Is the two-way audio confirmed as a built-in function, or does it require external accessories?
Two-way audio is a built-in native function on this model. The camera includes a dual-microphone array for audio capture and a built-in speaker for output. No external microphone or speaker is required. Communication can be initiated through a compatible NVR interface or Hik-Connect application.
- What does the HEOP 2.0 AI platform support, and how does it differ from basic motion detection?
The HEOP 2.0 platform with 1.5 TOPS of onboard compute supports deep-learning analytics including human and vehicle classification, perimeter intrusion detection, and line crossing rules. Unlike standard pixel-based motion detection, deep-learning classification distinguishes between a person, a vehicle, and irrelevant movement such as swaying foliage, reducing the rate of nuisance alerts. The OpenDev SDK also allows third-party AI models to be deployed on the camera edge hardware.
- What does NEMA 4X protection add that IP67 alone does not cover?
IP67 confirms the camera is sealed against dust ingress and temporary submersion in water. NEMA 4X adds protection against corrosion from chemical agents, salt air, and moisture-laden environments. For installations near coastlines, food processing areas, mining operations, or other corrosive settings, NEMA 4X coating on internal metal components significantly extends the operational life of the camera housing and electronics.
- How is the strobe and siren deterrence triggered – is it manual or automatic?
Both manual and automatic triggering are supported. An operator can activate the strobe and siren manually via the NVR interface or connected monitoring software. Alternatively, the onboard analytics can be configured to trigger the deterrence output automatically when a human or vehicle intrusion event is detected within a defined zone, allowing the camera to respond without operator intervention.
- Where can this camera be purchased, and what support is included?
The DS-2CD3H87G3-LIZSUY/SL is supplied by Security Wholesalers as part of the Hikvision Ultra-Series G3 range. Purchasers should confirm warranty terms and Hikvision Australia support entitlements at the time of ordering, and verify that the specific SKU variant includes the NEMA 4X anti-corrosion coating if that is a requirement for the installation site.
