Product SKU: DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL
Product Overview
The Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL is an 8MP ColorVu Gen2 fixed turret network camera designed for buyers who want high-detail video, flexible night imaging, and smarter event filtering from one outdoor-ready camera. This Hikvision 8MP ColorVu turret camera suits homes, driveways, shopfronts, offices, warehouses, strata properties, car parks, and building perimeters where clear images and practical event capture matter. Its ColorVu imaging, Smart Hybrid Light operation, 130 dB WDR, built-in microphone, H.265+ compression, and human and vehicle classification make it a strong option when standard motion detection or low-detail night footage is not enough. The fixed 2.8mm lens is best suited to wider general coverage rather than long-distance zoom, making it useful for entrances, side paths, forecourts, and open approach areas.
Best For
- High-detail fixed camera coverage: The 8MP resolution gives buyers a sharper image than lower-resolution cameras, which is useful for entrances, driveways, shopfronts, stock areas, and other positions where visual detail matters.
- Night-time evidence with flexible lighting: ColorVu and Smart Hybrid Light operation help capture clearer details after dark, with the camera able to use infrared, colour, or smart-triggered white light depending on the installation need.
- Reducing unwanted motion alerts: Human and vehicle classification helps focus event detection on the activity most buyers care about, instead of treating every movement as equally important.
- Outdoor residential and commercial use: The IP67 weather-resistant design makes it suitable for exposed outdoor camera positions such as building perimeters, car parks, gates, walkways, and shopfronts.
- Audio-supported security footage: The built-in microphone adds real-time audio security, which can be useful at entries, counters, loading areas, and other positions where sound provides extra context.
Why Choose the DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL
Choose the DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL when you want a fixed turret camera that does more than basic day-and-night recording. The main advantage is the combination of 8MP image detail, ColorVu low-light performance, Smart Hybrid Light behaviour, and human and vehicle classification. For most buyers, the practical difference is fewer irrelevant alerts and more useful evidence when an event happens. The camera can maintain infrared illumination when there is no person or vehicle, then trigger white light for colour imaging when activity is detected. That makes it a strong fit for locations where colour detail at night is useful, but constant white light is not always desirable. The built-in microphone also gives recordings more context than video-only coverage.
Buyer Decision Guide
Buyer Tip: Choose this model if you want a wide fixed view with strong low-light performance and human or vehicle event filtering. It is a better fit for entrances, driveways, side access paths, shopfronts, and building edges than for long-range zoom or active tracking across a large site.
Buyer Tip: Smart Hybrid Light is useful when you do not want a white light constantly visible at night. The camera can use infrared when no person or vehicle is present, then trigger white light to capture colour detail when activity occurs.
Key Capabilities
8MP Image Detail
The 8MP resolution gives the camera strong detail for fixed-view security positions. This matters when buyers need clearer footage of people, vehicles, approach paths, entry points, stock areas, or outdoor activity rather than simply confirming that movement occurred.
ColorVu Low-Light Imaging
ColorVu technology is designed to improve colour imaging in low-light conditions. In real installations, this can help capture more useful colour detail at night compared with standard black-and-white infrared-only footage.
Smart Hybrid Light Behaviour
Smart Hybrid Light gives the installer more flexibility in how the camera behaves after dark. It can support 24/7 colour, infrared black-and-white operation, or smart mode where colour imaging is triggered by relevant activity.
Human and Vehicle Classification
Deep learning-based human and vehicle classification helps the system focus on the events that usually matter most. This is useful for reducing unnecessary alerts caused by general movement around the camera view.
Built-In Audio Context
The built-in microphone adds audio to supported recordings, giving extra context around entrances, service counters, gates, and other security-sensitive areas. This can make reviewing footage more informative than relying on video alone.
Outdoor Turret Design
The turret form factor is a popular choice for wall and ceiling mounting because it is compact, practical, and less prone to some reflections than dome-style housings. The IP67 rating supports outdoor use in exposed areas.

Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You want an 8MP fixed turret camera with ColorVu, Smart Hybrid Light, human and vehicle classification, built-in audio, H.265+ compression, and outdoor weather resistance.
- Choose a different model if: You need optical zoom, motorised varifocal adjustment, PTZ movement, smart tracking, or a narrower long-distance view.
- Choose this over a basic IR camera if: You want stronger colour evidence at night and the flexibility to trigger white light only when relevant activity occurs.
- Consider the installation position carefully: The 2.8mm lens is useful for wide coverage, but the camera should be mounted close enough to the area of interest for the detail you need.

FAQs
Is the Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, the DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL has an IP67 water and dust resistant rating, making it suitable for outdoor installation in exposed areas. It is a practical option for driveways, building perimeters, shopfronts, side access paths, car parks, and similar positions where weather resistance and fixed camera coverage are important.
Does this camera record audio?
Yes, this model includes a built-in microphone for real-time audio security. Audio can add useful context to footage, especially at entrances, counters, gates, and loading areas. Buyers should make sure audio recording is suitable for the site and complies with any relevant workplace, tenancy, privacy, or signage requirements.
What is the benefit of Smart Hybrid Light on this Hikvision ColorVu camera?
Smart Hybrid Light gives more flexible night-time operation than a basic infrared-only camera. The camera can use infrared illumination when no person or vehicle is present, then trigger white light when activity is detected. This helps capture colour details during important events without necessarily running white light all night.
Is the DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL better than a standard IR turret camera?
For many night-time security applications, yes. A standard IR camera usually records black-and-white footage at night, while this ColorVu model is designed to capture more colour detail in low light. It also adds Smart Hybrid Light, human and vehicle classification, 8MP resolution, and a built-in microphone, making it more feature-rich than a basic IR-only turret.
Does this model support human and vehicle detection?
Yes, the DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL focuses on human and vehicle classification based on deep learning. This helps buyers reduce unnecessary motion alerts caused by less important movement and makes the camera better suited to monitoring entrances, driveways, shopfronts, and perimeter areas where people and vehicles are the main concern.
How far can this camera detect activity with the 2.8mm lens?
For the 2.8mm lens, the supplied DORI figures are Detection 89m, Observation 35m, Recognition 17m, and Identification 8m. These figures help buyers understand the difference between seeing that movement exists and capturing enough detail for recognition or identification. Mounting position, lighting, and viewing angle still matter in real installations.
Is the 2.8mm lens a good choice for a driveway or entrance?
Yes, the 2.8mm lens is commonly chosen for wider fixed coverage, making it suitable for driveways, front entries, shopfronts, and access paths. It is better for covering a broader scene than a narrow zoomed-in view. If the goal is long-distance detail, a different lens or varifocal camera may be more suitable.
Does this camera need an NVR?
This is a network camera, so most buyers will use it with a compatible NVR or recording platform for continuous recording, playback, and event review. Pairing it with the right recorder also helps make practical use of H.265+ compression, high-resolution recording, remote viewing, and event-based footage management.
Can I view this camera remotely from my phone?
Remote viewing depends on the recorder, network setup, and app configuration used with the camera. In a typical IP CCTV installation, the camera is connected to a compatible NVR or network system that supports mobile access. This is useful for checking live view, reviewing events, and managing site security while away from the property.
Who should choose the Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL?
This model suits buyers who want an 8MP outdoor fixed turret camera with strong low-light performance, event filtering for humans and vehicles, built-in audio, and efficient H.265+ recording. It is especially useful for properties where night-time detail and practical alert filtering are more important than PTZ movement or optical zoom.
