Hikvision DS-2XS6A87G1-LS/C36S80 8MP ColorVu Solar-Powered 4G Bullet Camera Kit
The Hikvision DS-2XS6A87G1-LS/C36S80 is a high-performance solar-powered 4G security camera kit designed for remote sites, temporary monitoring, farms, construction areas, infrastructure assets, perimeters, roadways and locations where fixed power or wired internet is difficult to provide.
Combining an 8MP 4K ColorVu bullet camera, solar charging, lithium battery storage and 4G mobile connectivity, this kit provides a practical all-in-one surveillance solution for off-grid environments. It is ideal for applications where a traditional CCTV installation would require long cable runs, trenching, civil works or permanent mains power.
8MP 4K ColorVu Imaging
The camera delivers high-quality 3840 × 2160 resolution video at up to 15 frames per second, providing detailed image capture for wide outdoor scenes. Hikvision ColorVu technology allows the camera to produce vivid full-colour images around the clock, supported by an F1.0 super-aperture lens and high-performance imaging sensor.
Unlike traditional infrared-only cameras that often produce black-and-white footage at night, ColorVu is designed to retain useful colour detail in low-light conditions. This can help identify vehicle colours, clothing, objects and scene details that may otherwise be lost in monochrome footage.
Solar-Powered Operation for Remote Sites
This model includes an 80W photovoltaic solar panel and a 360Wh rechargeable lithium battery, making it suitable for locations where running power is impractical or expensive. The integrated battery management system supports battery display, high/low temperature protection, charge-discharge protection, low-battery sleep protection and remote wake-up functionality.
This makes the DS-2XS6A87G1-LS/C36S80 well suited for remote monitoring projects such as rural gates, construction compounds, temporary event sites, equipment yards, farm entrances, roadworks, river monitoring, utilities, pipelines and perimeter surveillance.
4G Mobile Network Connectivity
With built-in 4G communication support, the camera can transmit video and alerts over the mobile network when a suitable SIM card and coverage are available. This removes the need for fixed broadband or network cabling back to a building, making the system useful for standalone deployments.
The camera can be used for remote viewing, event notifications and mobile monitoring through compatible Hikvision platforms and apps, subject to network configuration, SIM plan, signal strength and site conditions.
AcuSense Human and Vehicle Detection
Hikvision AcuSense technology uses deep learning algorithms to focus on human and vehicle targets. This helps reduce false alarms caused by irrelevant movement such as animals, leaves, rain, shadows or general background motion.
For remote sites, this is especially useful because it allows the camera to generate more meaningful event alerts. Instead of simply detecting movement, the system is designed to prioritise activity involving people and vehicles.
Clearer Images in Difficult Lighting
The DS-2XS6A87G1-LS/C36S80 supports 130 dB true WDR, helping the camera handle scenes with strong backlighting or high contrast. This is useful for gates, roads, entrances, yards and open outdoor areas where sunlight, headlights or shadows can otherwise make footage difficult to interpret.
The camera also includes white light illumination with up to 30 metres range, supporting full-colour night-time imaging when additional lighting is required.
Built for Outdoor Environments
The rugged outdoor design is IP67 rated for weather resistance, making it suitable for demanding external installations. The camera kit is designed for continuous outdoor use where dust, rain and changing weather conditions are expected.
The large solar panel and integrated battery system make the unit more substantial than a standard CCTV camera, so correct mounting, positioning, solar exposure and structural support should be considered during installation.
Storage and Recording Options
The camera includes built-in storage support and can also support microSD card storage up to 256GB, depending on configuration. This allows footage to be recorded locally at the camera, which is especially useful for standalone remote deployments where an NVR may not be present on site.
Recording duration will depend on resolution, frame rate, compression settings, event recording configuration, storage capacity and activity level.

Why Choose This Camera?
The Hikvision DS-2XS6A87G1-LS/C36S80 is designed for situations where a normal IP camera installation is not practical. Rather than requiring a nearby PoE switch, power supply, NVR connection or fixed internet service, this kit combines solar power, battery backup, 4G connectivity and intelligent video analytics into one integrated outdoor solution.
For remote security projects, this can significantly reduce installation complexity. It is particularly useful when the cost of trenching, cabling or adding power would exceed the cost of a standalone solar camera system.
With 8MP image quality, ColorVu full-colour night imaging and AcuSense human/vehicle detection, it provides a strong balance of image detail, smart alerting and flexible deployment for challenging sites.
Note: 4G performance depends on local mobile network coverage, SIM card compatibility, data plan, antenna positioning and site conditions. Solar performance depends on panel orientation, available sunlight, camera settings, event frequency and installation environment.
