Product Overview
Combining active deterrence with full-colour night imaging, the Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL is an 8MP Smart Hybrid Light ColorVu turret camera built for eave, soffit, and wall mounting at driveways, shopfronts, car parks, and commercial entry points where passive IR recording is no longer enough. Featuring a large F1.0 aperture, Super Confocal Lens, and ColorVu Gen 2 imaging, it captures colour-rich footage at night without relying solely on visible light. Smart Hybrid Light switches intelligently between IR and warm white LED modes based on detected activity, helping manage light output across different scenes. AcuSense deep learning filters human and vehicle targets from general motion, while the built-in strobe light and speaker allow a direct response to unwanted activity at the camera itself. Available in 2.8mm or 4mm fixed lens options, the IP67-rated housing supports exposed outdoor installation across residential and commercial sites.
Key Capabilities
8MP 4K Resolution
At 3840 x 2160, this camera captures the level of scene detail needed to identify faces, read number plates within DORI range, distinguish clothing, and provide more useful footage for incident review than lower-resolution alternatives at the same position.
Smart Hybrid Light Switching
The camera can operate in IR-only, white light-only, or smart switching mode, activating warm LEDs when humans or vehicles are detected and returning to IR during quiet periods. This reduces unnecessary visible illumination while still producing colour footage when it matters most.
ColorVu Full-Colour Night Imaging
Supported by an F1.0 Super Aperture and Super Confocal Lens design, ColorVu imaging maintains colour detail in very low-light environments. Minimum illumination reaches 0.0005 Lux, helping preserve scene colour where standard cameras would shift to monochrome.
AcuSense Human and Vehicle Detection
Deep learning-based classification separates human and vehicle targets from background movement such as swaying branches, shadows, or animals. This reduces alert fatigue for installers and end users who rely on event notifications to respond to relevant activity.
Active Deterrence with Strobe and Speaker
The built-in strobe light and speaker allow the camera to deliver an immediate visible and audible response when a detection rule is triggered. This makes the DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL a stronger choice for driveways, gates, loading areas, and shopfronts where deterrence is part of the security strategy.
Two-Way Audio
With both a built-in microphone and a built-in speaker, the camera supports two-way voice communication where configured on a compatible system. This is useful at monitored entry points, loading docks, reception areas, and access gates where remote communication is needed.
Best For
- Driveways and front entries: The wide 2.8mm lens option, 8MP resolution, and colour night imaging make this camera well suited to monitoring vehicles and visitors approaching a property, with Smart Hybrid Light activating colour detail on detection.
- Shopfronts and commercial entrances: AcuSense filtering and active deterrence help focus alerts on genuine human or vehicle activity, while the strobe and speaker allow a response without requiring staff to be present on-site.
- Car parks and perimeter zones: The IP67-rated housing supports exposed mounting, and the 40m IR and 30m white light ranges provide useful coverage across larger outdoor areas.
- Sites needing both deterrence and evidence: Unlike a passive camera, the built-in strobe, speaker, and 8MP detail allow the camera to both discourage activity and capture useful footage of the same event from a single fixed position.
- Monitored access points requiring audio: The confirmed built-in microphone and speaker support two-way communication at gates, loading bays, and commercial entry points where remote interaction is part of the access management workflow.
Why Choose the DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL
A standard outdoor turret camera records footage. The DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL does more at the same fixed position: it filters events by target type using AcuSense deep learning, switches its own lighting based on what it detects through Smart Hybrid Light, produces colour footage in near-darkness through its F1.0 aperture and ColorVu Gen 2 sensor, and can activate a strobe and issue an audio warning without any manual intervention. The 130dB Wide Dynamic Range also handles challenging backlit scenes at entrances and shopfronts where cheaper cameras struggle to expose the subject and background simultaneously. For installers and buyers who need active deterrence, colour night detail, and smarter event filtering from a single compact turret housing, this model covers all three without requiring add-on devices. The DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL is available through Security Wholesalers and is stocked ready to ship.
Buyer Decision Tips
Lens Selection: Choose the 2.8mm lens for open areas where wide scene coverage is the priority, such as driveways, courtyards, car parks, and shopfronts. Choose the 4mm lens when you want a narrower, more directed view of a specific gate, doorway, pedestrian path, or vehicle approach lane. The 4mm option also extends the DORI detection range to 109m compared to 89m on the 2.8mm.
Fixed vs. PTZ: This is a fixed turret camera. The lens angle is set at installation and cannot be adjusted remotely. If you need to change the viewing direction after installation, zoom in optically on a distant subject, or track movement across a wide area automatically, a PTZ or motorised varifocal camera will suit the position better.

Ideal Use Cases
Residential Driveways
The 2.8mm wide lens covers open approach areas, while Smart Hybrid Light activates colour detail when vehicles or people are detected, giving footage that is more useful for incident review than standard IR images.
Shopfront and Retail Entrances
130dB WDR handles backlit glass facades, while AcuSense detection and the active strobe and speaker allow staff or a monitoring centre to respond to after-hours activity without being on site.
Car Parks and Loading Areas
IP67-rated housing supports open outdoor mounting, and the 40m IR range provides coverage across parking bays and vehicle access lanes, with colour detail available when warm light activates.
Monitored Access Gates
Two-way audio via the built-in microphone and speaker supports remote communication at gates and controlled entry points where an operator needs to speak with a visitor without a dedicated intercom system.
Warehouse Perimeters
The 4mm lens option extends DORI detection to 109m, making the camera more suitable for longer fence lines, yard approaches, and rear access points where coverage distance matters more than wide-angle spread.
Strata and Multi-Tenancy Properties
The compact turret housing mounts cleanly to eaves and soffits around common areas, visitor car parks, and building entries, with AcuSense reducing nuisance alerts in shared outdoor environments with variable foot traffic.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose the 2.8mm version if: You need a wide viewing angle for open areas such as driveways, courtyards, shopfronts, or car parks where scene width is more important than reach.
- Choose the 4mm version if: You want more focus on a specific approach point, gate, doorway, or narrow lane where the extra reach of 109m detection range is more useful than a wider angle.
- Choose this model over a standard IR turret if: You need colour night imaging, Smart Hybrid Light switching, active deterrence with a strobe and speaker, two-way audio, and AcuSense human and vehicle filtering from a single fixed camera.
- Choose a different model if: Your installation requires remote optical zoom, motorised lens adjustment after mounting, pan and tilt control from a monitoring station, or automated tracking across a wide area. A PTZ or motorised varifocal camera would be a better fit for those requirements.

FAQs
- What makes the Smart Hybrid Light feature different from a standard warm-light ColorVu camera?
A standard white-light ColorVu camera illuminates with visible LEDs continuously during low light, regardless of whether anything is happening in the scene. Smart Hybrid Light on the DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL uses IR as the default and switches to warm white LEDs only when a human or vehicle is detected. This reduces light pollution and visible glow during quiet periods while still producing colour footage when a relevant event occurs.
- Is the DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL suitable for mounting under an eave or on a wall bracket?
Yes. The turret housing is designed for eave, soffit, and wall surface mounting. A compatible junction box or wall bracket can be used to extend the camera away from a surface or conceal cabling. The IP67 rating confirms it handles rain and dust exposure in fully outdoor positions without any additional housing.
- Does this camera support two-way audio?
Yes. The DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL has both a built-in microphone and a built-in speaker, which together support two-way audio communication where configured on a compatible NVR or viewing platform. This allows a remote operator to hear and speak through the camera at monitored access points, gates, or entry areas. Buyers should check that audio recording and monitoring complies with applicable local privacy and workplace regulations.
- How does the strobe and speaker deterrence actually work?
When an AcuSense detection rule is triggered, the camera can activate its built-in strobe light and play an audio alert through the speaker as a configured response. This happens at the camera itself without requiring a separate siren or external device. The response can be set to activate automatically on detection or triggered manually through a connected platform.
- What is the night vision range on this camera?
The DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL supports up to 40m IR range and up to 30m warm white light range. Actual performance in a given installation depends on mounting height, scene reflectivity, lens choice, and ambient light conditions. The 4mm lens extends the DORI detection distance to 109m in daylight conditions, which may be relevant for longer approaches or fence line positions.
- Does the camera need a compatible Hikvision NVR to use all its features?
Most AcuSense detection features, Smart Hybrid Light event rules, two-way audio, and active deterrence responses work most reliably when paired with a compatible Hikvision NVR or Hik-Connect-enabled platform. Some functions may be limited on third-party recorders depending on the level of ONVIF compatibility supported. Using a matched Hikvision recorder is the most straightforward way to access the full feature set. The DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL is part of the Security Wholesalers range and compatible Hikvision NVRs are available alongside it.
- Can this camera handle strong backlight, such as a glass shopfront with bright daylight behind it?
Yes. The 130dB True Wide Dynamic Range is specifically designed for scenes with a wide contrast range, including glass-fronted retail entrances, doorways with bright outdoor backgrounds, and covered car park entries where interior and exterior lighting differ significantly. This helps the camera expose both the subject and the background more effectively than cameras with standard WDR ratings.
