Product Overview
The Hikvision DS-2CD2T87G3P-LIS2UY/SL is an 8MP panoramic ColorVu fixed bullet network camera designed to provide ultra-wide surveillance coverage from a single mounting position. Its 2.8mm fixed lens produces a 182.6-degree horizontal field of view and records at up to 4256 x 1888 resolution, making it ideal for building frontages, warehouses, commercial yards, car parks, loading areas and wide entrances where conventional fixed cameras may require multiple viewing positions. ColorVu 3.0 technology combines an F1.0 aperture with HikAI-ISP image processing to provide detailed full-colour imaging in extremely low light. Smart Hybrid Light supports IR and white light illumination up to 40 metres, while deep-learning human and vehicle classification helps filter irrelevant motion events. Built-in active deterrence, a speaker and arrayed dual microphones allow the camera to provide visual warnings, audible alarms and two-way communication. With IP67 weather protection and NEMA 4X anti-corrosion construction, the DS-2CD2T87G3P-LIS2UY/SL is built for professional indoor and outdoor surveillance applications.
Key Capabilities
180-Degree Panoramic Coverage
The 2.8mm panoramic lens provides a 182.6-degree horizontal and 74.6-degree vertical field of view, allowing one camera to monitor an extremely wide scene. This makes it particularly useful along building walls, broad entrances and open commercial areas where several conventional fixed cameras might otherwise be required.
ColorVu 3.0 with HikAI-ISP
ColorVu 3.0 combines the bright F1.0 aperture with HikAI-ISP image processing to improve image quality in challenging low-light environments. Minimum illumination reaches 0.0005 Lux at F1.0 and drops to 0 Lux when supplementary lighting is active, helping preserve useful colour detail after dark.
Smart Hybrid Light – IR + White Light
The camera supports infrared, white light and Smart Hybrid Light operating modes, allowing illumination behaviour to be matched to the site. IR can provide discreet surveillance while white light can provide full-colour detail when required, with supplementary illumination reaching up to 40 metres.
Human and Vehicle Classification
Deep-learning classification allows supported motion and perimeter events to focus specifically on people and vehicles. This helps reduce nuisance events from environmental movement and provides more meaningful alerts across the camera’s unusually wide field of view.
Active Deterrence and Two-Way Audio
A built-in strobe light and high-output speaker allow the camera to provide immediate visual and audible warnings when configured security events occur. The arrayed dual microphones and speaker also support two-way communication, allowing operators to address people remotely through compatible Hikvision systems.
IP67 and NEMA 4X Protection
The metal housing carries IP67 weather protection and NEMA 4X anti-corrosion certification. Hikvision classifies this model as providing moderate anti-corrosion protection, making it suitable for demanding outdoor environments including locations with elevated moisture, weather exposure or moderate corrosion requirements.
Best For
- Building Frontages and Long Walls: The 182.6-degree panoramic field of view can monitor almost the entire area in front of a wall-mounted camera, reducing the blind spots normally created by conventional fixed-angle cameras.
- Warehouses and Loading Areas: Wide panoramic coverage provides visibility across loading bays, warehouse approaches and open operational spaces without requiring several cameras aimed in different directions.
- Commercial Yards and Car Parks: Human and vehicle classification combined with Smart Hybrid Light provides intelligent monitoring across large outdoor scenes during both daytime and after-hours periods.
- Wide Entrances and Access Areas: One panoramic image can capture traffic approaching from multiple directions while active deterrence provides an immediate warning response when configured intrusion events are detected.
- Sites with Limited Camera Positions: Where cabling, switch ports or suitable mounting positions are limited, the panoramic field of view helps maximise coverage from one network camera connection.
Why Choose the DS-2CD2T87G3P-LIS2UY/SL
The DS-2CD2T87G3P-LIS2UY/SL is designed for installations where width of coverage is just as important as image quality. Conventional bullet cameras usually concentrate their available resolution into a narrower field of view, while this panoramic model delivers an ultra-wide 182.6-degree image from a single mounting position. This can simplify system design in suitable locations by reducing blind spots, camera quantity, cabling requirements, switch ports and NVR channels. The newer ColorVu 3.0 platform adds HikAI-ISP processing, Smart Hybrid Light and strong low-light performance, while deep-learning human and vehicle classification makes the panoramic image useful for intelligent event detection rather than simply providing a wide overview. Built-in strobe and audio warning functions add active deterrence, while arrayed dual microphones and the speaker provide two-way communication. For installers needing an outdoor panoramic camera that combines wide-area visibility, intelligent detection, colour night imaging and on-site response capability, the DS-2CD2T87G3P-LIS2UY/SL provides all of these functions in one fixed bullet housing.
Buyer Decision Tips
Panoramic Camera vs Standard Bullet Camera: Choose this model when the primary requirement is very wide coverage from one location. Its 182.6-degree horizontal field of view is especially effective when mounted against a wall or building frontage where the objective is to see almost everything occurring in front of the mounting surface. If the priority is identifying smaller subjects at significantly longer distances, a conventional 4mm, 6mm or motorised varifocal camera may be more appropriate because its pixels are concentrated over a narrower scene.
Consider Mounting Position Carefully: The panoramic lens is fixed at 2.8mm and provides an extremely wide image, so the camera should be positioned where the entire horizontal scene is valuable. It works particularly well along external walls, loading areas, wide entrances and open yards. For narrow corridors, long driveways or locations where the target area is concentrated directly ahead, a standard fixed or varifocal bullet may provide more useful identification detail.

Ideal Use Cases
Building Perimeters and External Walls
Mounting the camera along a wall takes advantage of its panoramic horizontal coverage, providing visibility across almost the complete area in front of the building from a single camera position.
Commercial Yards and Car Parks
The combination of panoramic coverage, human and vehicle classification and 40m Smart Hybrid Light makes the camera suited to open vehicle areas where movement may occur from several directions.
Warehouses and Loading Docks
A single panoramic camera can provide a broad overview of loading zones, warehouse approaches and cross-traffic areas while intelligent event detection monitors human and vehicle movement.
Wide Entrances and Forecourts
The 182.6-degree horizontal image helps capture people and vehicles approaching from either side of a wide entrance, while ColorVu 3.0 and Smart Hybrid Light maintain usable detail after dark.
Unstaffed and After-Hours Sites
Active strobe and audio warning functions allow configured security events to create an immediate on-site response, while the speaker and dual microphones allow operators to communicate remotely when required.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this panoramic model if: You need to monitor an extremely wide area from one mounting point, particularly building walls, broad entrances, commercial yards, warehouses or open areas where multiple conventional cameras may otherwise be required.
- Choose this model if: You want panoramic coverage combined with ColorVu 3.0, Smart Hybrid Light, human and vehicle classification, built-in active deterrence and two-way audio rather than a basic panoramic overview camera.
- Choose a standard fixed bullet if: Your target area is relatively narrow and you need greater pixel density on subjects located directly in front of the camera. A narrower 4mm or 6mm field of view can provide better identification detail at distance.
- Choose a motorised varifocal model if: The exact scene width cannot be determined before installation or you need the ability to remotely adjust zoom and framing after the camera has been mounted.
