Product Overview

Combining full-colour night vision with AcuSense deep learning, the DS-2CD2387G2-LU delivers 8MP 4K outdoor coverage in a compact turret housing suited to eave, soffit, and wall mounting. Equipped with Hikvision’s ColorVu Gen 2 technology, it uses warm white LED illumination to produce colour images across a 40m range even in complete darkness, eliminating the greyscale imagery associated with traditional IR cameras. The 2.8mm fixed lens provides a 102 degree horizontal field of view, making it well suited to driveways, shopfronts, building entries, and open yard areas where wide coverage from a single camera position is the priority. AcuSense classification separates human and vehicle detections from background motion caused by animals, foliage, and weather, reducing nuisance alerts. It also includes a built-in microphone for on-site audio capture, H.265+ compression to reduce storage load, and 130dB wide dynamic range for scenes with strong backlight contrast.

Key Capabilities

ColorVu Gen 2 Full-Colour Night Vision

White LED illumination produces full-colour footage at night across a 40m range. Unlike IR cameras that switch to black-and-white in low light, the DS-2CD2387G2-LU captures usable colour detail of clothing, vehicles, and signage even in zero-lux conditions.

AcuSense Human and Vehicle Classification

Deep learning algorithms classify detected motion as human or vehicle before triggering an alert. This filters out false triggers caused by animals, wind-blown foliage, rain, and insects, so notifications reflect genuine access events rather than environmental noise.

8MP 4K Resolution

The 8-megapixel sensor delivers 4K image quality, supporting DORI detection at 96m and recognition at 19m. This level of detail matters when reviewing footage of vehicle number plates, faces, or identifying what was carried in or out of a monitored area.

130dB Wide Dynamic Range

130dB WDR balances exposure across scenes with simultaneous bright and dark areas, such as a building entry facing bright daylight while the doorway interior remains shaded. Subjects remain visible in both zones without overexposure washing out detail.

H.265+ Compression

H.265+ reduces the bitrate and storage footprint compared to H.264 without visible quality loss. For installations recording 24/7 colour footage from multiple cameras, this directly reduces NVR storage costs and extends the recording retention period on the same drive capacity.

Best For

  • Driveways and Property Entries: The 2.8mm lens covers a 102 degree horizontal field of view, capturing the full width of a driveway or pedestrian entry from a single eave or wall mount position.
  • Shopfronts and Business Entrances: AcuSense classification and full-colour night imaging mean after-hours footage shows usable colour detail of people and vehicles approaching a shopfront, supporting both deterrence and evidence quality.
  • Outdoor Areas Lacking Existing Lighting: ColorVu Gen 2 white light illumination at 40m means the camera does not rely on external lighting infrastructure to produce colour footage, reducing installation complexity in unlit yards or parking areas.
  • Multi-Camera Installations Requiring Storage Efficiency: H.265+ compression reduces the per-camera storage demand across systems with several 4K cameras recording continuously, extending usable retention on existing NVR hardware.

Why Choose the DS-2CD2387G2-LU

The DS-2CD2387G2-LU sits at the point where 4K resolution, genuine 24/7 colour output, and AI-based event filtering come together in a single outdoor turret body. A standard 8MP IR turret captures more detail than lower-resolution alternatives but still loses colour at night. The ColorVu Gen 2 white light design removes that limitation entirely, producing colour footage in complete darkness without requiring the site to have external lighting. AcuSense adds a further layer by making that colour footage searchable by human and vehicle category, which speeds up incident review considerably on a busy site. The built-in microphone supports on-site audio recording for sites where ambient sound capture adds evidential value. Available through Security Wholesalers, the DS-2CD2387G2-LU is backed by Hikvision’s Australian warranty and support program.

Buyer Decision Tips

Lens and Coverage Planning: The 2.8mm fixed lens produces a 102 degree horizontal field of view, which suits wide shallow scenes such as a shopfront footpath or driveway apron. For longer, narrower corridors or approaches where reach matters more than width, a version with a longer focal length would cover more distance before subjects appear small in frame. The DORI data confirms recognition at 19m with the 2.8mm lens, so plan camera positions with that distance in mind for scenes where identification detail is the goal.

Ideal Use Cases

Residential Driveways

The 102 degree horizontal FOV captures the full width of a standard residential driveway from an eave mount, while the 40m white light range covers the full driveway length in colour even after dark without needing external lighting.

Retail Shopfronts

AcuSense human classification means after-hours alerts are triggered by people approaching the shopfront rather than passing traffic or animals, reducing overnight notification fatigue for business owners monitoring remotely.

Small Business Yards and Loading Areas

Vehicle classification allows yard camera footage to be filtered by vehicle category during incident review, making it faster to locate a specific delivery or access event without manually scrubbing through hours of recorded footage.

Building Entries and Stairwells

The wide diagonal FOV of 124 degrees and compact turret profile suits mounting at building entry corners or stairwell ceilings where a bulkier housing would be intrusive, while still delivering 4K colour detail of anyone entering or exiting.

Unlit Outdoor Areas

Sites without existing outdoor lighting benefit directly from ColorVu Gen 2’s 0 Lux capability. The camera’s own white LEDs illuminate the scene to produce colour footage without requiring the installer to plan separate lighting circuits.

Choosing the Right Model

  • Choose this model if: You need 4K colour night footage from a compact outdoor turret body, AcuSense human and vehicle filtering is important for managing alerts, and the 2.8mm wide-angle coverage suits your mounting position and scene width.
  • Choose a different model if: Your scene is long and narrow rather than wide, in which case a turret with a longer focal length such as a 4mm or 6mm lens would provide more reach and tighter framing at distance. If active deterrence with a siren and strobe is needed, consider a turret with built-in alarm output capabilities rather than a passive illumination design.

FAQs

  1. Does the DS-2CD2387G2-LU produce colour footage at night or does it switch to black and white?
    This camera uses ColorVu Gen 2 white light LEDs to produce full-colour footage at all times, including in complete darkness. It does not switch to a black-and-white IR mode. The minimum illumination is 0 Lux with the white light active, meaning colour imaging is maintained even with no ambient light present.
  2. What does the “-LU” in the model name indicate?
    The “L” designates ColorVu white light illumination rather than an IR variant, and the “U” confirms the camera includes a built-in microphone for audio recording. This model records audio at the camera level, which can be passed through to a compatible NVR for synchronised audio and video playback.
  3. How far does the white light reach on this camera?
    The confirmed white light illumination range is 40m. This is the effective distance for colour imaging in darkness. DORI data confirms detection at 96m with the 2.8mm lens, though colour detail beyond the 40m illumination range would depend on available ambient light in the scene.
  4. How does AcuSense reduce false alerts compared to standard motion detection?
    Standard motion detection triggers on any pixel change in the scene, including rain, shadows, insects, and small animals. AcuSense uses deep learning to classify detected motion as human or vehicle before generating an alert. This means notifications are tied to access events that are actually relevant to security, rather than environmental movement that would otherwise create constant nuisance alerts.
  5. What mounting options are compatible with this turret camera?
    The DS-2CD2387G2-LU can be wall or ceiling mounted directly. Compatible Hikvision accessories include the DS-1280ZJ-DM21 junction box, the DS-1273ZJ-140 bracket for G series turrets, the DS-1273ZJ-140B bracket, and the DS-1271ZJ-140-DM45 pendant mount bracket, all of which are listed with the product and available through Security Wholesalers.
  6. Does this camera require external lighting to function at night?
    No. The built-in white light LEDs provide 40m of illumination, so the camera does not depend on streetlights, floodlights, or any external lighting source to capture colour footage after dark. This makes it practical for installation in unlit yards, car parks, and building perimeters without additional electrical work for lighting.
