Product Overview
Combining active deterrence, full-colour night imaging and two-way audio in a compact outdoor bullet housing, the DS-2CD2087G3-LI2UY/SL is built for sites where a visible security presence and sharp evidence quality both matter. This 8MP EasyIP 3.0 Pro Series camera uses ColorVu 3.0 and a fast F1.0 aperture to produce vivid colour footage across day and night conditions, while Smart Hybrid Light switches between IR illumination up to 40m and white light up to 30m depending on the active lighting mode. Built-in dual microphones and a built-in speaker enable real-time two-way voice communication, and an alarm-triggered strobe adds a further layer of active deterrence. With IP67 and NEMA 4X protection, this model is well suited to coastal installations, industrial yards, loading docks, exposed perimeter walls and outdoor commercial sites where standard IP67 cameras may fall short.
Key Capabilities
8MP 4K Resolution
The 3840 x 2160 sensor at 20fps delivers enough detail for perimeter entry points, loading dock approaches and exposed outdoor walls where vehicle identification and person recognition during playback are critical.
Smart Hybrid Light
Rather than relying on a single illumination type, this model combines IR illumination up to 40m with white light up to 30m. Modes can be set to IR only, white light only, or a combination, giving installers flexibility based on the site environment and whether colour evidence is the priority.
ColorVu 3.0 Full-Colour Night Imaging
The F1.0 super-aperture lens and 1/1.8″ CMOS sensor allow colour footage down to 0.0005 Lux, making clothing colour, vehicle colour and scene context visible after dark without relying solely on the white light supplement.
Active Deterrence with Two-Way Audio
Dual built-in microphones and a built-in speaker enable real-time two-way voice communication through the camera. Combined with a triggered strobe, operators can challenge intruders and create a visible audio-visual deterrent without deploying staff to the site.
Human and Vehicle Classification
Deep learning-based motion analysis separates people and vehicles from background activity including animals, rain, wind-blown objects and shadows. This helps reduce unnecessary alerts at industrial sites and commercial perimeter zones where environmental triggers are common.
NEMA 4X and IP67 Protection
IP67 provides full dust exclusion and water resistance for outdoor mounting, while the NEMA 4X rating adds resistance to corrosion and salt-laden air, making this camera suitable for coastal properties, marine environments and industrial locations where standard outdoor cameras degrade faster.
Best For
- Industrial Yards and Loading Docks: The 40m IR range, human and vehicle classification, and two-way audio make this camera well suited to large outdoor areas where staff intervention via the camera is useful.
- Coastal and Marine Installations: NEMA 4X protection handles salt air and coastal conditions that would accelerate corrosion in standard IP67 bullet cameras.
- Exposed Perimeter Walls and Fences: Wall and eave mounting in an IP67-rated bullet housing with a 107° wide-angle view covers long approach zones where colour footage and triggered strobe deterrence are both valuable.
- Retail and Commercial Shopfronts: After-hours monitoring benefits from visible white light deterrence, two-way audio for remote challenge, and 8MP colour detail for incident evidence.
Why Choose the DS-2CD2087G3-LI2UY/SL
The DS-2CD2087G3-LI2UY/SL stands apart from standard 8MP ColorVu bullet cameras because it combines three capabilities that most similar models do not carry together: confirmed two-way audio with dual microphones and a built-in speaker, active deterrence via a triggered strobe, and NEMA 4X protection for coastal and industrial environments. The Smart Hybrid Light system is more flexible than fixed white-light or fixed IR designs, allowing installers to select the right illumination mode for each specific site. At 3840 x 2160 and with an F1.0 lens pulling colour detail down to near-zero lux, this is a strong option for perimeter and commercial monitoring where footage quality and on-site deterrence capability both carry weight. Available at Security Wholesalers, it suits installers and buyers who want a single outdoor bullet camera to handle colour evidence, active response and harsh-environment durability.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: The Smart Hybrid Light system lets you choose between IR-only mode for discreet night monitoring, white-light mode for full-colour evidence, or a combined mode. Confirm which lighting behaviour your site requires before installation. If your location has strict rules about white light output at night, IR-only mode is available, but colour footage quality will depend on ambient light levels rather than white light fill.
Buyer Tip: The NEMA 4X rating is worth specifying for coastal suburbs within a few kilometres of the ocean, industrial properties with chemical exposure, or marine facilities where salt air accelerates corrosion in standard IP67 housings. If the installation site is a sheltered urban environment, a standard IP67 model will perform adequately at a lower cost.

Ideal Use Cases
Industrial Yards and Perimeter Fences
The 40m IR range and 107° wide-angle view cover long outdoor approaches, while triggered strobe and two-way audio allow remote deterrence without physical intervention.
Coastal Properties
NEMA 4X certification means the camera housing resists corrosion from salt air, making it a practical choice for beachside homes, marina buildings and coastal commercial sites.
Loading Docks and Warehouse Exteriors
Vehicle classification and 8MP detail help identify trucks, forklifts and personnel at loading areas, and the two-way speaker allows staff to communicate instructions remotely.
Retail Shopfronts and Car Parks
White light deterrence combined with triggered strobe and audio challenge capability supports after-hours security at retail sites where visible deterrence is preferred over passive monitoring.
Driveways and Property Entries
The wide 2.8mm lens and full-colour night imaging capture vehicle and person detail at residential and commercial entry points, with local microSD backup available up to 512GB if NVR connectivity is lost.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need a compact outdoor bullet camera with confirmed two-way audio, active strobe deterrence, Smart Hybrid Light with both IR and white light modes, NEMA 4X coastal protection and 8MP ColorVu 3.0 colour night imaging.
- Choose this model for harsh environments: The NEMA 4X rating makes it the right choice for coastal, marine and industrial sites where salt air, chemical exposure or heavy moisture would affect standard IP67 housings over time.
- Choose a different model if: Your site does not require active deterrence or two-way audio and a simpler fixed lens bullet with standard IP67 protection would meet the brief at lower cost. If a longer IR range beyond 40m or a motorised varifocal lens is needed, a different bullet model would be more appropriate.
FAQs
- Does the DS-2CD2087G3-LI2UY/SL support two-way audio?
Yes. This camera includes both dual built-in microphones and a built-in speaker, which together enable real-time two-way voice communication. Operators can listen through the camera and speak to people at the installation location through a compatible NVR interface or Hik-Connect app, making it suitable for remote challenge and access communication.
- What does Smart Hybrid Light mean on this camera?
Smart Hybrid Light means the camera carries both IR illuminators and white LEDs in the one housing. You can configure the camera to operate in IR-only mode for traditional night monitoring without visible light, white-light mode for full-colour colour capture, or a hybrid mode that uses both. This flexibility lets installers choose the right balance between colour evidence quality and visible deterrence for each specific site.
- What is the difference between the IR range and the white light range on this model?
The IR illuminators on the DS-2CD2087G3-LI2UY/SL reach up to 40m, while the white LED supplement extends up to 30m. When running in white-light mode, the camera can capture colour detail to 30m. When running IR-only, the camera’s range extends to 40m but footage is in greyscale unless ambient colour light is present.
- Why does this camera have NEMA 4X protection in addition to IP67?
IP67 covers dust ingress and water submersion resistance. NEMA 4X adds requirements for resistance to corrosion, including exposure to salt water and salt air. For coastal installations within a few kilometres of the ocean, industrial facilities with airborne chemical exposure, or marine environments, NEMA 4X is the relevant rating. A standard IP67 camera may degrade faster in these conditions.
- What does the active deterrence feature do on this camera?
When the camera detects a human or vehicle target, it can trigger a strobe light and an audio alarm output to draw attention and deter further intrusion. Combined with two-way audio, an operator can follow up with a live voice challenge. This sequence is designed to interrupt unwanted activity before it escalates, rather than recording it passively.
- What field of view does the 2.8mm lens provide, and is it suitable for wide outdoor areas?
The 2.8mm fixed lens provides a 107° horizontal, 57° vertical and 127° diagonal field of view. This is well suited to covering wide entry zones, driveways, shopfronts and perimeter walls at close to medium range. The DORI figures show detection at 90.6m and recognition at 18.1m, so the camera is practical for shorter-range wide-scene coverage rather than long narrow approaches.
- Can this camera record locally without an NVR?
Yes. The DS-2CD2087G3-LI2UY/SL supports a microSD card up to 512GB for local on-camera recording. This is useful as a backup in NVR-based systems or for standalone deployment where network recording is not available. Local recording capability is confirmed in the product data and is available through Security Wholesalers with the camera as supplied.
