Product Overview
Combining active deterrence with full-colour night vision and 8MP 4K resolution, the DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL is a Smart Hybrid Light turret camera built for eave, soffit and wall mounting at driveways, shopfronts, warehouse entries and commercial perimeter positions. Featuring ColorVu 3.0 imaging, AcuSense human and vehicle detection, a built-in strobe light and speaker, and dual microphones for two-way audio, this model goes well beyond standard motion recording. It integrates HikAI-ISP image processing with a large 1/1.8″ sensor and 130dB True WDR, making it capable of retaining useful colour detail in high-contrast and low-light conditions. The camera is available in 2.8mm and 4mm fixed lens options to suit different scene widths, and the IP67 and NEMA 4X rated housing extends its suitability to coastal, humid and other corrosive environments where standard weather ratings fall short.
Key Capabilities
8MP 4K Resolution with HikAI-ISP
The 3840 x 2160 sensor paired with HikAI-ISP image processing captures footage with enough detail to distinguish clothing colours, number plates and facial features at entry points, loading docks and vehicle approaches, where lower-resolution cameras would fall short.
ColorVu 3.0 Full-Colour Night Imaging
With a minimum illumination of 0.0005 Lux and a large 1/1.8″ progressive scan sensor, ColorVu 3.0 allows the camera to retain full colour in near-dark conditions, providing scene context that black-and-white IR footage cannot offer when reviewing events after the fact.
Smart Hybrid Light Illumination
The camera can operate in infrared, white light or smart switching mode, activating white LED illumination when a person or vehicle is detected. This gives installers flexibility to balance discreet night monitoring with full-colour evidence capture depending on how the site is configured.
Active Deterrence via Strobe and Speaker
The built-in strobe light and customisable audio warnings allow the camera to issue an on-site response when an event is detected, rather than only recording it. For driveways, shopfronts and yards, this visible and audible feedback can be more immediate than a remote notification alone.
AcuSense Human and Vehicle Detection
Deep learning classification separates people and vehicles from other motion sources such as foliage, animals and light changes. This keeps alert notifications focused on events that are more likely to require a response, which is particularly useful at busy outdoor positions with frequent background movement.
NEMA 4X Anti-Corrosion Housing
Beyond the standard IP67 weather rating, the NEMA 4X classification makes this turret suitable for marine, coastal and humid environments where salt air or chemical exposure would shorten the lifespan of a standard outdoor camera. This is a meaningful distinction for exposed Queensland, WA or SA coastal installations.
Best For
- Residential Driveways and Entry Zones: The Smart Hybrid Light and AcuSense vehicle detection make this camera well suited to monitoring vehicle approaches where both colour evidence and deterrence matter.
- Retail Shopfronts and After-Hours Coverage: ColorVu 3.0 colour night imaging helps capture clothing and scene context near doors and windows after dark, while the strobe adds a visible response capability.
- Warehouse Entries and Loading Docks: The 8MP resolution and vehicle detection support footage quality at delivery zones and roller doors where identifying persons and vehicles during access events is important.
- Coastal and Humid Outdoor Environments: The NEMA 4X anti-corrosion rating makes this turret a more durable option than standard IP67-only cameras in salt air or high-humidity locations.
- Sites Where Active On-Site Response Is Needed: The combination of strobe, speaker and dual microphones suits locations where recording alone is not enough and a two-way audio or deterrence response is part of the security approach.
Why Choose the DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL
The DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL brings together capabilities that would otherwise require separate equipment: 8MP 4K colour night imaging, Smart Hybrid Light with IR and white LED modes, AcuSense human and vehicle filtering, built-in strobe and speaker for active deterrence, two-way audio via dual microphones and speaker, and a NEMA 4X anti-corrosion rated housing. A basic fixed turret with only IR illumination and standard motion detection cannot offer colour night evidence, smart light switching or on-site deterrence responses. The large 1/1.8″ sensor and 130dB True WDR also make this model more capable in mixed-light conditions compared to cameras with smaller sensor formats. Available through Security Wholesalers, it is a strong choice for buyers who want a single outdoor turret camera that covers evidence capture, detection quality and deterrence without stepping up to a larger or more complex camera format.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: Choose the 2.8mm lens for wider scene coverage across driveways, yards, open entry zones or shopfronts where the camera is mounted close to the monitored area. Choose the 4mm lens when you need a more focused view of a narrower approach, gate, corridor or vehicle lane, particularly where the mounting position is further from the target area. The 2.8mm gives a 108.8 degree horizontal field of view while the 4mm gives 93.3 degrees, so the difference is meaningful when framing a specific entry point.
Buyer Tip: For the active deterrence features to be effective, mount the camera where the strobe light and speaker can be clearly seen and heard by a person entering the monitored zone. If the camera will be installed in a very discreet position out of direct sightlines, a non-deterrence model may be more appropriate since the strobe and audio warnings rely on being noticed to have any practical effect.

Ideal Use Cases
Residential Driveways
Smart Hybrid Light activates white LED illumination when a vehicle enters the driveway, giving colour footage of the approach. AcuSense vehicle detection helps keep notifications focused on genuine events rather than ambient movement.
Retail Shopfronts
ColorVu 3.0 retains full colour after closing time near doors and windows, capturing clothing and scene detail that is useful when reviewing after-hours activity. The strobe adds a visible deterrent response when a person is detected.
Side Access Paths and Gates
The fixed turret form factor and AcuSense person detection suit narrow side paths or gate approaches where identifying human movement and issuing an audio warning through the built-in speaker can help manage access.
Warehouse Entries and Loading Docks
The 8MP resolution and 130dB True WDR support footage quality at delivery entrances where high-contrast lighting from roller doors and bay lighting can otherwise cause overexposure or lost detail in standard cameras.
Coastal and Humid Installations
The NEMA 4X anti-corrosion rating goes beyond standard IP67 protection, making this turret a suitable choice for exposed positions in marine, coastal, or high-humidity environments where housing degradation is a long-term concern.
Commercial Building Perimeters
Fixed eave or soffit mounting on external building faces benefits from the 8MP detail and 30m illumination range for consistent night coverage of car parks, walkways and perimeter fence approaches without requiring a PTZ camera.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose the 2.8mm version if: You need broader scene coverage across a driveway, open yard, shopfront or wide entry zone where the camera is mounted relatively close to the area being monitored.
- Choose the 4mm version if: You want a more focused view of a narrower entry point, gate, vehicle lane or corridor where the camera is mounted further back from the target area.
- Choose this model if: Your installation requires colour night imaging, Smart Hybrid Light flexibility, AcuSense human and vehicle detection, active deterrence via strobe and speaker, two-way audio, and a NEMA 4X corrosion-resistant housing all in one outdoor turret camera.
- Choose a different model if: You only need basic recording without colour night, deterrence or smart detection, in which case a standard IR turret without these features would be a more cost-effective choice. If you need continuous remote pan, tilt and zoom control across a large open area, a PTZ camera would be more appropriate than this fixed-lens turret.
FAQs
- What does Smart Hybrid Light actually do on the DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL?
Smart Hybrid Light gives the camera 3 illumination options: standard IR for discreet night monitoring, white LED for full-colour night footage, and a smart mode that keeps IR running continuously but switches on the white LED when a person or vehicle is detected. This means the camera stays discreet until an event occurs, then captures colour evidence at the moment it matters most.
- Is the DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL suitable for eave and soffit mounting at a house?
Yes. The turret form factor is designed for exactly this type of installation. The adjustable ball joint inside the housing allows the lens to be angled toward the target area after the base is fixed to the eave or soffit. The IP67 and NEMA 4X ratings also mean it handles rain, humidity and coastal conditions well in exposed residential mounting positions.
- Does the NEMA 4X rating make a real difference compared to standard IP67?
Yes, for specific environments. IP67 confirms the camera is protected against dust and temporary water submersion. NEMA 4X goes further by confirming protection against corrosive agents including salt air and certain cleaning chemicals. For coastal properties, marine facilities, food processing areas or industrial sites with chemical exposure, the NEMA 4X rating means the housing material itself is designed to resist corrosion over time, not just water ingress.
- Does this camera support two-way audio?
Yes. The DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL has both built-in dual microphones and a built-in speaker, which allows two-way audio communication when configured through a compatible system. This is useful when a monitoring operator wants to hear activity near the camera and speak back through the system, such as at a driveway gate, shopfront or warehouse entry point.
- How does AcuSense detection reduce unwanted alerts on this camera?
AcuSense uses deep learning to classify detected motion as a person, vehicle or other. Alerts can be configured to trigger only on human or vehicle classifications, which means events caused by moving tree branches, small animals, shadows or light changes do not generate notifications. This is particularly useful for outdoor cameras covering areas with frequent background motion such as gardens, car parks or streets.
- What is the night vision range and can it record colour in complete darkness?
The DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL has an IR and white light range of up to 30m. In complete darkness, the camera requires its own illumination to produce usable footage. In white light or smart mode, it will produce full-colour footage within that 30m range. The ColorVu 3.0 sensor has a minimum illumination of 0.0005 Lux, meaning it can retain colour in very low ambient light conditions even without the onboard LED active.
- Can the DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL be used without an NVR?
The camera supports onboard microSD card storage up to 512GB, which allows local recording without a network video recorder. However, for continuous recording, remote viewing across multiple cameras, event search and long-term storage management, pairing the camera with a compatible NVR is the more practical approach for most residential or commercial installations. MicroSD storage works well as a backup or for single-camera standalone setups.
- Which PoE standard does the DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL require?
The camera requires PoE 802.3at Class 4, which is a higher power class than the more common 802.3af standard. This is important when selecting a PoE switch or NVR to power the camera. Most current Hikvision NVRs with built-in PoE ports support 802.3at, but it is worth confirming the PoE budget of the switch or recorder before installation. Security Wholesalers can advise on compatible NVR options if needed. The camera also accepts 12VDC as an alternative power source.
