About the DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY-SL
The Hikvision DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY-SL is an 8 megapixel Smart Hybrid Light ColorVu 3.0 fixed turret network camera, engineered for demanding professional surveillance installations that require high-resolution imaging combined with active deterrence capability. Built around a large 1/1.8" progressive scan CMOS sensor and a high-performance F1.0 aperture lens, this camera delivers full 4K (3840 x 2160) resolution at up to 25fps, providing exceptional image detail across wide coverage areas.
The camera's ColorVu 3.0 technology ensures 24/7 vivid full-colour imaging, even in near-zero light conditions down to 0.0005 Lux. The F1.0 super-aperture collects significantly more light than conventional lenses, producing clear, detailed colour images in conditions where standard cameras would fall back to black-and-white or require heavy artificial lighting. The HikAI-ISP image signal processor further enhances this capability with superior noise reduction, delivering clean and detailed imagery across all lighting conditions.
A key differentiator of the DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY-SL is its Smart Hybrid Light system, which intelligently combines both IR and white light illuminators in a single unit. The camera supports three configurable supplemental lighting modes, allowing installers to tailor the lighting response to site-specific requirements, with an effective range of up to 30 metres. The /SL variant produces a white strobe flash as an active deterrent alert.
Deep learning-based perimeter protection is fully integrated, with support for line crossing, intrusion, region entrance and region exiting detection. The analytics engine focuses specifically on human and vehicle targets, significantly reducing false alarms caused by animals, foliage or weather conditions. Face capture is also supported, adding an additional layer of forensic capability to the camera's analytics suite.
Built-in arrayed dual-microphone audio capture provides high-quality real-time audio, while the integrated speaker supports two-way audio communication and active audio deterrence. When paired with the on-board alarm I/O interface, the camera can trigger both audible warnings and strobe light flashing in response to detected intrusion events, making it suitable for unmanned perimeter protection deployments.
The camera records up to 130dB wide dynamic range using scene-adaptive WDR, ensuring clear visibility in high-contrast environments such as entranceways, car parks and perimeter zones. Electronic Image Stabilisation (EIS) further enhances image quality on exposed installations subject to vibration.
On-board storage is supported via a built-in microSD/SDXC card slot accepting cards up to 512GB, with Auto Network Replenishment (ANR) ensuring no footage is lost during network interruptions. The camera connects via a single RJ45 100Mbps port and is powered by PoE (IEEE 802.3at, Class 4, max 17W) or 12VDC. ONVIF Profile S, G and T compatibility ensures broad VMS integration support.
Housing is fully metal construction, rated IP67 for outdoor use and tested to NEMA 4X anti-corrosion standards, making it suitable for coastal, industrial and other harsh environments. Operating temperature range is -30 degrees C to 60 degrees C. The camera weighs approximately 820g and measures 138.3mm diameter by 115.4mm in height.
