Hikvision DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL 8MP ColorVu Hybrid Light PoE Turret Camera

The Hikvision DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL 8MP ColorVu Hybrid Light PoE Turret Camera is a fixed-lens network camera for sites that need colour images after dark, plus audio and active deterrence built in.

What the specs mean in practice

• The sensor is an 8MP, 3840 × 2160, 1/1.8" progressive scan CMOS. A high-resolution image from a large sensor.
• Fixed 2.8mm lens, 108.8° horizontal field of view. A wide view that suits entrances, perimeters, commercial sites and industrial installations.
• F1.0 lens with ColorVu 3.0. The wide aperture lets in more light, so the camera can keep full-colour imaging in very low light.
• Smart Hybrid Light, up to 30m. Infrared (IR) and white light, switching automatically by conditions and detection events.
• Dual microphones and a speaker. Two-way audio, plus a strobe light and audible alarm when an intrusion event is detected.
• Deep learning analytics. Human and vehicle classification, face capture, line crossing and intrusion detection.
• Anti-corrosion metal housing, IP67 protection rating.

What you need to add

• Power: PoE (Power over Ethernet) to IEEE 802.3at, or 12V DC. For PoE, the switch or injector port must supply 802.3at.
• Recording: a Hikvision or ONVIF-compatible NVR (network video recorder). Each camera uses one recorder channel.
• Onboard storage: a microSD card, up to 512GB, if you want recordings held in the camera itself.
