Product Overview
Wide-area coverage across car parks, loading docks, and industrial perimeters demands more than a basic fixed-lens camera. The DS-2CD2687G2HT-LIZS is an 8MP Smart Hybrid Light bullet camera built for demanding outdoor installations where lens flexibility and night performance both matter. Featuring a motorised varifocal 2.8-12mm lens with a horizontal field of view spanning 112.3 to 41.2 degrees, it lets installers remotely dial in the exact coverage angle after mounting without needing physical access to the camera. Smart Hybrid Light operates in IR mode for efficient background monitoring or automatically switches to white light illumination when motion triggers it, delivering full-colour footage at the moment it counts. With 130dB True WDR, ColorVu Gen 2 low-light imaging down to 0.0028 Lux, AcuSense human and vehicle detection, IP67 weatherproofing, and IK10 impact resistance, it is well suited to exposed walls, pole mounts, and fence lines across commercial and industrial sites.
Key Capabilities
Smart Hybrid Light
Three selectable modes give installers control over how the camera behaves at night. IR mode provides discreet, efficient illumination for background monitoring. White light mode delivers constant full-colour footage. Smart mode keeps IR active by default and triggers white light when a person or vehicle is detected, capturing colour detail at the critical moment.
Motorised Varifocal Lens
The 2.8-12mm motorised lens covers a horizontal field of view from 112.3 degrees at wide end to 41.2 degrees at telephoto. Remote zoom and focus adjustment means the coverage angle can be tuned precisely after mounting, which saves significant time on elevated or difficult-to-reach installations such as pole mounts and roofline brackets.
8MP Resolution with 130dB WDR
A 1/1.8-inch progressive scan CMOS sensor produces 3840 x 2160 imagery, supporting clear detail across large monitored areas. The 130dB True WDR function handles high-contrast scenes including entrances lit by direct sunlight and shadowed loading bay interiors in the same frame.
ColorVu Gen 2 Low-Light Imaging
With a minimum illumination of 0.0028 Lux at F1.2 in colour mode, the DS-2CD2687G2HT-LIZS captures usable colour footage in near-darkness. This is particularly relevant for poorly lit outdoor perimeters where colour detail such as clothing or vehicle colour supports incident review.
AcuSense Human and Vehicle Detection
Deep-learning-based AcuSense technology classifies detected objects as humans or vehicles, reducing alerts triggered by animals, foliage, or environmental movement. On perimeter and car park installations this meaningfully reduces the volume of false events recorded, making footage review more efficient for operators.
IP67 and IK10 Outdoor Durability
IP67 dust and water ingress protection combined with IK10 impact resistance makes this bullet camera suitable for exposed outdoor environments including sites subject to weather extremes, cleaning hoses, or physical interference. The housing is rated to withstand the kinds of conditions found on construction sites, industrial yards, and public-facing perimeters.
Best For
- Industrial Perimeters and Fence Lines: The directional bullet housing, 60m illumination range, and telephoto end of the 2.8-12mm lens suit long outdoor approaches where targeted coverage at distance is required.
- Car Parks and Loading Docks: AcuSense human and vehicle detection limits false alerts in high-movement environments, and Smart Hybrid Light ensures colour detail is captured when it matters most.
- Installations Requiring Post-Mount Zoom Adjustment: Sites where the camera is mounted at height or in difficult-to-access positions benefit directly from motorised remote zoom, avoiding the need to re-access the mount to adjust optics.
- Exposed Outdoor Environments: The combination of IP67 weatherproofing and IK10 impact resistance makes this model appropriate for construction sites, industrial yards, and any mounting position exposed to physical contact or harsh weather.
Why Choose the DS-2CD2687G2HT-LIZS
A fixed-lens bullet camera at this resolution delivers usable footage, but it locks the installer into a single field of view at the time of mounting. The DS-2CD2687G2HT-LIZS avoids that constraint through its motorised 2.8-12mm varifocal lens, which supports remote zoom and focus from the recorder or software interface. Combined with Smart Hybrid Light and ColorVu Gen 2, it also handles lighting conditions that a standard IR-only camera cannot, capturing full-colour detail at 0.0028 Lux without needing a separate white light fixture. AcuSense classification reduces the operational overhead of managing alerts on busy perimeters, and the 512GB microSD card slot supports local backup independent of the recorder. For installers looking for a high-resolution outdoor bullet camera with genuine flexibility in coverage and night performance, the DS-2CD2687G2HT-LIZS is available at Security Wholesalers as part of the Hikvision Smart Hybrid ColorVu range.
Buyer Decision Tips
Matching Zoom Range to Coverage Distance: At the wide end (2.8mm), the DS-2CD2687G2HT-LIZS covers a broad area but the DORI detection range is 87m and identification range is only 9m. At the telephoto end (12mm), detection extends to 216m and identification reaches 22m. For applications where the camera needs to identify faces or plates at distance, set the lens toward the telephoto end during commissioning. For general area monitoring of a large yard or car park, the wide end provides better scene context. Having both options in a single unit reduces the need for multiple cameras at different focal lengths.
Choosing the Right Hybrid Light Mode for Your Site: IR mode is the most energy-efficient setting and avoids visible light pollution, making it appropriate for residential perimeters or sites where occupants should not be alerted by a visible illuminator. White light mode provides consistent full-colour footage but emits continuous visible light that may not suit all locations. Smart mode is the practical default for most commercial installations: it keeps IR running passively and only triggers white light when the camera detects a human or vehicle, giving colour detail on actual events without continuous light emission. Configure this setting during commissioning based on the sensitivity requirements of the site.

Ideal Use Cases
Warehouse and Industrial Yard Perimeters
The telephoto end of the 2.8-12mm motorised lens supports coverage of long fence lines and yard approaches at distance, while AcuSense filters out non-human and non-vehicle triggers in environments with frequent environmental movement such as wind-blown vegetation or forklift activity.
Commercial Car Parks
Smart Hybrid Light in smart mode captures colour detail of vehicles and occupants when motion is detected, while the 8MP sensor and 130dB WDR support usable imagery across large open areas with uneven lighting from overhead lights and vehicle headlights.
Loading Docks and Delivery Areas
The IK10 rating provides resilience in environments where cameras may be subject to incidental physical contact from vehicles or equipment. The white light mode can be set to run continuously to provide full-colour footage across active loading zones during night shifts.
Construction Sites
IP67 weatherproofing and IK10 impact resistance suit temporary or semi-permanent installations on construction sites where equipment and weather conditions are unpredictable. The motorised zoom allows coverage adjustment as site layouts change during the build without remounting the camera.
Long Driveway and Estate Entry Monitoring
At the telephoto end of the lens, the DS-2CD2687G2HT-LIZS achieves a detection distance of 216m and an identification distance of 22m, making it suited to monitoring vehicle and pedestrian approach along extended driveways where early detection is a priority.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need an 8MP outdoor bullet camera with motorised zoom for post-install coverage adjustment, Smart Hybrid Light for motion-triggered colour night vision, and AcuSense detection on a perimeter, car park, or industrial site requiring both IP67 and IK10 protection.
- Choose a different model if: The installation requires active deterrence with audible warnings or strobe light, as this camera does not include those functions. If the coverage area is indoors or a low-profile ceiling mount is required, a dome or turret housing would be a more practical fit for the environment. If budget constraints are the priority and motorised zoom is not needed, a fixed-lens bullet camera at lower resolution may be sufficient for the site.
FAQs
- What is the difference between IR mode, white light mode, and smart mode on this camera?
IR mode uses infrared illumination only, producing greyscale night footage with no visible light emitted. White light mode runs constant visible illumination for full-colour night footage at all times. Smart mode runs IR passively and switches to white light automatically when the AcuSense engine detects a human or vehicle, capturing colour detail on actual events without continuous light emission. Smart mode is the recommended default for most commercial installations.
- How far does the illumination reach on the DS-2CD2687G2HT-LIZS?
Both the IR and white light illuminators are rated to 60m. The effective range will vary with lens zoom setting, mounting height, and environmental conditions. At the telephoto end of the lens, the narrower beam concentrates illumination further along a corridor or driveway approach. At the wide end, illumination spreads across a broader area at shorter effective distances.
- Can the zoom and focus be adjusted remotely after installation?
Yes. The motorised varifocal lens supports remote zoom and focus adjustment through the camera’s web interface or a compatible Hikvision NVR. This is particularly useful when the camera is mounted at height or on a pole where physical access is difficult, allowing the field of view to be refined during commissioning or changed later without remounting the unit.
- What does AcuSense actually do on this camera?
AcuSense uses deep learning to classify motion events as human, vehicle, or other. Events triggered by animals, blowing leaves, shadows, or lighting changes are categorised differently from human or vehicle detections. This reduces the volume of events that require operator review and makes it practical to set meaningful alert rules on busy perimeters or car parks where non-target motion would otherwise generate constant notifications.
- Is the DS-2CD2687G2HT-LIZS suitable for mounting on a pole or wall bracket in an exposed outdoor environment?
Yes. IP67 weatherproofing protects against dust ingress and water immersion, and IK10 impact resistance means the housing is rated to withstand a 20-joule impact. Hikvision offers compatible junction boxes and pole mount brackets separately. The bullet form factor is designed for directional wall or pole mounting rather than ceiling or soffit installations.
- Does this camera support local storage without a recorder?
Yes. The DS-2CD2687G2HT-LIZS includes a microSD card slot supporting cards up to 512GB. This allows the camera to record footage locally, which can serve as a backup recording path alongside an NVR or as a standalone recording option for sites where running network cable back to a central recorder is not practical.
- Where can I find the datasheet and purchase this camera?
The full technical datasheet is linked in the Additional Information section below. The DS-2CD2687G2HT-LIZS is supplied through Security Wholesalers as part of the Hikvision Smart Hybrid ColorVu camera range, which also includes compatible mounting brackets and junction boxes listed on the product page.
