Product Overview
Combining full-colour night imaging with built-in active deterrence and a black IP67-rated turret housing, the DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL-BLK is built for outdoor eave, soffit and wall installations where camera finish matters alongside imaging performance. Featuring ColorVu 3.0 technology, a 1/1.8″ CMOS sensor and HikAI-ISP image processing, it captures 8MP footage at 3840 x 2160 with a minimum illumination of 0.0005 Lux. Equipped with Smart Hybrid Light, it switches automatically between infrared and warm white LED illumination based on scene conditions. This model also includes built-in dual microphones, a speaker, strobe light and customisable audio warnings for two-way communication and on-camera deterrence responses. AcuSense deep learning filters human and vehicle targets from background motion. With NEMA 4X anti-corrosion protection and IP67 weather resistance, it is well suited to driveways, shopfronts, coastal properties and exposed commercial perimeters where durability and a dark camera finish are both required.
Key Capabilities
8MP Full-Colour Detail
At 3840 x 2160 resolution, the camera captures footage with enough detail to support event review around driveways, shopfronts and building entries. The 1/1.8″ CMOS sensor and HikAI-ISP processing maintain image clarity in scenes with changing light or fast-moving subjects.
ColorVu 3.0 Low-Light Imaging
ColorVu 3.0 with a minimum illumination of 0.0005 Lux allows the camera to produce usable full-colour footage in near-dark conditions. This makes clothing colour, vehicle colour and scene context visible in footage taken after hours or in poorly lit outdoor areas.
Smart Hybrid Light
Smart Hybrid Light gives installers the option to run IR only, warm white LED only, or automatic switching based on scene detection. This flexibility suits environments where continuous white light would be intrusive but full-colour detail on trigger events is still required.
Two-Way Audio and Active Deterrence
Built-in dual microphones and a speaker enable two-way audio communication when connected to compatible equipment. The strobe light and customisable audio warnings add a visible and audible on-camera response layer, useful at gates, shopfront entries and outdoor access points.
AcuSense Human and Vehicle Detection
AcuSense deep learning classifies motion targets as human or vehicle before triggering alerts. This reduces notifications caused by animals, foliage or passing headlights, making alert events more actionable for both monitored and self-monitored installations.
Black NEMA 4X Outdoor Housing
The black turret housing carries IP67 and NEMA 4X anti-corrosion ratings, making it suitable for coastal, humid and exposed outdoor environments. The dark finish suits installations on dark soffits, timber-clad facades or modern commercial exteriors where a white camera would stand out.
Best For
- Residential Driveways with Dark Finishes: The 2.8mm wide-angle lens and black housing suit eave or soffit mounting at residential driveways, particularly where white cameras clash with modern building exteriors.
- Retail and Commercial Shopfronts: Active deterrence with strobe light and customisable audio warnings makes this camera a practical choice for after-hours shopfront coverage where a visible response to detected movement is useful.
- Warehouses and Loading Areas: The 8MP resolution and Smart Hybrid Light support clear footage at roller doors and goods access points, while IP67 and NEMA 4X protect the camera in demanding outdoor conditions.
- Coastal and Humid Outdoor Sites: NEMA 4X anti-corrosion housing makes this model suitable for properties near the ocean, in high-humidity environments or on structures exposed to salt-laden air.
- Gates and Building Entry Points: The combination of two-way audio, AcuSense target detection and strobe deterrence suits monitored entry points where both communication and alert response are needed.
Why Choose the DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL-BLK
The DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL-BLK goes beyond a standard 8MP outdoor turret by combining ColorVu 3.0 full-colour night imaging, Smart Hybrid Light, AcuSense target classification, dual microphones, built-in speaker, strobe light and NEMA 4X anti-corrosion protection in a single black-finish housing. A basic fixed turret in this resolution class would typically offer IR-only night vision with no active deterrence, no two-way audio and no corrosion-resistant housing. The 2.8mm lens provides a 108.8 degree horizontal field of view, making it practical for broad coverage across driveways, yards and building approaches. Onboard microSD storage up to 512GB gives the option of local recording alongside NVR-based storage. Available through Security Wholesalers, this model suits buyers who need a premium outdoor turret with deterrence features and a black housing finish that integrates cleanly into modern installations.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: The black version of this model is available with the 2.8mm lens only. The 4.0mm lens option is not confirmed as available in black. If a narrower 93.3 degree field of view is needed for your installation, confirm lens and colour availability before ordering.
Buyer Tip: The strobe light and audio warning features work best when the camera has a direct line of sight to the area being monitored and is mounted at a height where the deterrence response will be noticed. If the installation position is very concealed or high up, the deterrence benefit may be reduced compared with a more open eave or wall-mounted position.

Ideal Use Cases
Residential Driveways
The 2.8mm lens delivers a 108.8 degree horizontal view for wide driveway coverage. ColorVu 3.0 and Smart Hybrid Light capture full-colour footage after dark, while the black housing blends with dark-finished eaves and soffits.
Retail Shopfronts
Mount above shopfront entries where after-hours movement triggers the strobe and audio warnings. AcuSense filtering reduces false alerts from passing vehicles or animals so genuine activity gets attention.
Warehouse and Loading Dock Entries
IP67 and NEMA 4X housing withstand dust, rain and temperature variation at roller doors and loading areas. Smart Hybrid Light adapts illumination based on whether the scene is active or at rest.
Coastal and Marine Environments
NEMA 4X anti-corrosion certification makes this camera suitable for properties near the coast or in high-humidity conditions where standard outdoor-rated cameras degrade faster due to salt air exposure.
Commercial Gate and Entry Points
Two-way audio via the built-in dual microphones and speaker supports voice communication at gates or staff entries when connected to compatible monitoring equipment, in addition to the deterrence strobe response.
Modern Dark Exterior Installations
The black housing suits architectural exteriors where a white or grey camera would contrast noticeably against dark cladding, timber, charcoal render or powder-coated metalwork.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need an 8MP outdoor turret with ColorVu 3.0 full-colour night vision, Smart Hybrid Light, AcuSense human and vehicle detection, two-way audio, strobe deterrence, NEMA 4X corrosion protection, and a black housing finish on a wide 2.8mm lens.
- Choose a narrower lens model if: Your installation requires a tighter field of view, such as a long corridor, gated driveway approach or narrow alley. The 4.0mm option is not confirmed available in black, so a white-housing model or a different camera may be required for that application.
- Choose a simpler model if: Your installation does not require active deterrence, two-way audio, Smart Hybrid Light or NEMA 4X anti-corrosion protection. A standard IP67-rated 8MP turret without deterrence features will typically cost less and suit straightforward outdoor recording applications.
- Consider placement carefully if: You intend to use the strobe and audio warning features. These work best when the camera is mounted at a height and angle where the deterrence response is visible and audible to the intended subject.
FAQs
- What separates this model from a standard 8MP turret without deterrence features?
The DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL-BLK adds ColorVu 3.0 full-colour low-light imaging, Smart Hybrid Light with automatic IR and white LED switching, AcuSense human and vehicle classification, dual microphones, a built-in speaker, a strobe light, customisable audio warnings and NEMA 4X anti-corrosion housing. A standard 8MP turret in this class typically offers IR-only night vision and no deterrence or audio capability.
- Does this camera support two-way audio?
Yes. The DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL-BLK includes built-in dual microphones and a built-in speaker, which together enable two-way audio communication when connected to compatible NVR or monitoring equipment. This allows voice communication at gates, shopfronts and entry points in both directions.
- What is Smart Hybrid Light and how is it different from standard IR?
Standard IR cameras use infrared illumination only, which produces black and white night footage. Smart Hybrid Light allows this camera to use IR alone for discreet monitoring, warm white LED alone for full-colour illumination, or automatic switching between the two based on what the camera detects in the scene. This gives more flexibility across installations where both discreet night monitoring and colour detail are needed depending on the time or activity.
- Is the 4mm lens available in the black housing?
Based on confirmed product data, the 4.0mm lens option is not available in the black housing version. The black model is the 2.8mm wide-angle version, providing a 108.8 degree horizontal field of view. This information is confirmed through Security Wholesalers product documentation. If a 4.0mm lens is required, verify availability in white or alternative housing before ordering.
- What does AcuSense detection do in this camera?
AcuSense uses deep learning to analyse motion events and classify detected subjects as human or vehicle before generating an alert. This reduces unnecessary notifications triggered by animals, tree movement, insects near the lens or passing headlights. The result is that alert events are more likely to represent genuine activity requiring attention.
- How does NEMA 4X differ from a standard IP67 rating?
IP67 certifies that the camera is protected against dust ingress and temporary water immersion. NEMA 4X extends this to cover protection against corrosion, making it more suitable for environments with salt air, chemical exposure, moisture condensation and high-humidity conditions. This is relevant for coastal properties, marine facilities, food processing areas and humid outdoor environments where standard IP-rated cameras may degrade over time.
- Does this camera support onboard storage without an NVR?
Yes. The DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL-BLK supports a microSD card up to 512GB for local onboard recording. This can function as standalone storage or as a backup alongside a connected NVR. For longer retention periods, higher channel counts or centralised playback across multiple cameras, a compatible NVR is still recommended.
- What night vision range does this camera provide?
The confirmed specification lists up to 30m using either IR or white light illumination. Actual effective range will depend on mounting height, target distance, surface reflectivity, available ambient lighting and which Smart Hybrid Light mode is active. In automatic mode, the camera selects the most appropriate illumination for the detected scene conditions.
