Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL 8MP ColorVu Hybrid Light PoE Turret Camera

What the specs mean for you

8MP resolution (3840 × 2160) — enough detail to zoom into a face or number plate after the fact, using a 1/1.8" progressive scan CMOS sensor.

2.8mm F1.0 lens, 108.8° horizontal field of view — a wide angle suited to covering a driveway, garden or shop frontage from one fixed position, not a narrow zoomed-in view.

ColorVu with Smart Hybrid Light — the camera keeps full colour, not black-and-white, in very low light, switching between infrared and white light automatically for illumination up to 30 metres at night.

Detection and deterrence

Deep learning analytics separate humans from vehicles, cutting down false alerts from pets or headlights. Built-in microphone and speaker give two-way audio, and a flashing strobe plus audible alarm can be triggered as active deterrence when the camera detects an event.

Getting it running

• Power: PoE (IEEE 802.3af) or 12V DC — confirm your recorder or switch has a free PoE port and enough power budget for this camera plus any others.
• Storage: onboard microSD slot, up to 512GB, for standalone recording without a separate NVR (network video recorder).
• Housing: IP67-rated full metal construction, built for outdoor mounting.

Check your NVR or NVR channel supports 8MP recording before adding this camera to an existing system, so you don't lose resolution at the recorder end.
