Product Overview

Combining 8MP 4K resolution with 24/7 full-colour imaging, the DS-2CD2387G2-LU is a Gen 2 ColorVu outdoor turret camera built for eave, soffit, and wall mounting across residential and small commercial sites. Featuring a warm white LED illuminator with a 40m range, it delivers colour-accurate footage in zero-light conditions without relying on infrared. Equipped with Hikvision AcuSense technology, the camera uses deep learning algorithms to distinguish people and vehicles from background movement such as animals, leaves, and rain. A built-in microphone captures on-site audio alongside the video stream. The 2.8mm fixed lens provides a wide 102-degree horizontal field of view, making it well suited to driveways, shopfronts, car parks, and building entries where broad scene coverage at closer range is the priority.

Key Capabilities

8MP 4K Resolution

The 8-megapixel sensor captures a wide scene at 4K detail, allowing installers to cover a driveway or shopfront entrance with a single camera while retaining enough image clarity to identify faces and number plates within the DORI range.

Gen 2 ColorVu Full-Colour Night Vision

A warm white LED illuminator reaches 40m and provides 24/7 colour imaging down to 0 Lux, making it possible to record the colour of clothing, vehicles, and signage even in total darkness, which is not achievable with standard infrared cameras.

AcuSense Human and Vehicle Detection

Deep learning algorithms classify motion events as either people or vehicles, filtering out triggers caused by animals, blowing leaves, and rain. This keeps alert logs focused on events that genuinely require attention and speeds up post-event footage searches.

Built-in Microphone

The integrated microphone captures ambient audio at the installation point, adding a recorded audio layer to each video event. This is useful for monitoring entry points, loading areas, or outdoor corridors where sound context supports the video record.

130 dB Wide Dynamic Range

A 130 dB WDR rating handles scenes with strong backlighting, such as a doorway with bright outdoor light behind a subject. Both the bright exterior and shaded foreground are rendered clearly in the same frame, preventing subjects from appearing as silhouettes.

Best For

  • Driveways and Home Entries: The 2.8mm wide-angle lens covers broad approach zones at close to mid range, and the ColourVu illuminator confirms vehicle and clothing colour after dark without any IR glow.
  • Shopfronts and Small Commercial Sites: AcuSense classification reduces nuisance alerts from pedestrian foot traffic passing the camera, keeping notifications relevant to actual intrusion or after-hours access events.
  • Outdoor Car Parks and Building Perimeters: The 40m white light range and 102-degree horizontal field of view cover wide outdoor bays and building corners from a single eave or wall-mount position.
  • Audio-Required Installations: Sites where a recorded audio layer is needed alongside video, such as monitored entry points or outdoor break-room areas, benefit from the integrated microphone without requiring a separate audio device.

Why Choose the DS-2CD2387G2-LU

Where a standard IR turret camera produces monochrome footage at night, the DS-2CD2387G2-LU uses warm white LED illumination to return full colour across the entire 40m range, every hour of the day. This distinction matters when identifying a vehicle colour, clothing description, or signage detail from recorded footage. The 8MP sensor gives installers room to frame a wider scene without losing the clarity needed for event review. AcuSense goes further than basic motion detection by separating human and vehicle events from environmental triggers at the algorithm level, rather than relying on zone tuning alone. The built-in microphone removes the need for a secondary audio device at installations where ambient sound capture is specified. Available through Security Wholesalers, this model suits integrators and DIY installers who need a single-camera solution for outdoor colour monitoring with smart detection built in from the outset.

Buyer Decision Tips

Lens and Mounting Position: The 2.8mm lens provides a 102-degree horizontal field of view, which is well suited to wide scenes at shorter distances such as a driveway apron, building entry, or car park bay. If the installation requires coverage of a longer narrow approach, such as a corridor, laneway, or deep car park aisle, a longer focal length would provide a tighter frame with more usable detail at distance. Confirm the mounting height and scene width before ordering, as the fixed lens cannot be adjusted after installation.

Ideal Use Cases

Residential Driveways

Mounted on eaves or a garage soffit, the 2.8mm lens covers the full width of a standard driveway while the white LED illuminator records the colour of any vehicle or person entering after dark, at 0 Lux if needed.

Retail Shopfronts

AcuSense human detection filters out foot traffic passing the window after hours, so alert-driven monitoring stays focused on people who stop, linger, or attempt entry rather than every pedestrian walking past.

Building Entry Points

The 130 dB WDR manages the backlight created when a brightly lit exterior is visible behind someone approaching a doorway, keeping both the subject and the background legible in the same frame.

Open Car Parks

The wide 102-degree horizontal field of view captures multiple bays from a single wall or column mount, and AcuSense vehicle classification supports after-hours event logging without requiring motion zone fine-tuning across the full frame.

Monitored Outdoor Zones

At sites where audio context supports reviewed footage, the built-in microphone provides ambient sound capture at the camera position, adding an audio record to each video event without requiring additional hardware or cabling for a separate microphone.

Choosing the Right Model

  • Choose this model if: You need 4K full-colour 24/7 outdoor coverage with AcuSense smart detection and a built-in microphone, and your installation involves wide scenes at close to mid range where a 2.8mm lens is appropriate.
  • Choose a different model if: You require active deterrence with a strobe light and speaker at the camera position, in which case a model in the ColorVu Gen 2 range with an integrated strobe and speaker would be the correct choice. If you do not require audio capture at all, a version of this camera without a built-in microphone is also available.

FAQs

  1. Does the DS-2CD2387G2-LU record colour footage at night without any external lighting?
    Yes. The built-in warm white LED illuminator activates in low-light conditions and provides full-colour imaging down to 0 Lux. The camera does not switch to monochrome night mode. At 0.0005 Lux with the illuminator off, some colour imaging is still possible, and with the LED active, colour recording is maintained across the full 40m white light range.
  2. What does AcuSense actually do on this camera?
    AcuSense applies deep learning algorithms to motion detection events and classifies the trigger as either a person or a vehicle. Events caused by animals, rain, swaying vegetation, or insects passing the lens are filtered out at the camera level before an alert is sent. This means that recorded events and push notifications are tied to human or vehicle activity rather than every motion trigger across the field of view.
  3. What field of view does the 2.8mm lens give at a standard eave mounting height?
    The 2.8mm lens provides a 102-degree horizontal, 52-degree vertical, and 124-degree diagonal field of view. Mounted at a standard single-storey eave height of around 3 to 4 metres, this covers the full width of a driveway apron, a standard vehicle bay, or a shopfront facade without needing to pan or tilt the camera significantly after mounting.
  4. Is this camera suitable for outdoor installation?
    Yes. The DS-2CD2387G2-LU is designed for outdoor use and is rated for exterior mounting on eaves, soffits, and external walls. It is built to withstand the weather conditions typical of Australian residential and commercial outdoor environments. Confirm the specific IP rating in the product datasheet for your installation requirements.
  5. Does the built-in microphone support two-way audio?
    No. The DS-2CD2387G2-LU includes a built-in microphone for audio capture only. There is no built-in speaker on this model, so two-way audio communication is not supported. The microphone records ambient audio alongside the video stream for review and logging purposes.
  6. Where can I find the datasheet and installation manual for this camera?
    The DS-2CD2387G2-LU datasheet and user manual are linked in the Additional Information section below this description. Both documents are available directly from the product page through Security Wholesalers, and cover full technical specifications, mounting dimensions, and network configuration guidance.
