8MP 4K Ultra HD Imaging
The DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL delivers a maximum resolution of:
3840 × 2160
providing true 8MP / 4K Ultra HD surveillance.
For Australian 50Hz systems, the camera supports up to 25fps at full 3840 × 2160 resolution, providing smooth, high-detail surveillance footage.
The increased resolution is particularly valuable when reviewing:
- People
- Clothing
- Vehicles
- Driveways
- Building Entrances
- Property Activity
- Commercial Areas
- Objects
- Security Incidents
ColorVu 3.0 Technology
The DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL incorporates Hikvision's advanced ColorVu 3.0 technology.
ColorVu combines a high-performance image sensor, ultra-wide F1.0 aperture, advanced image processing and intelligent supplementary lighting to maximise available light and retain valuable colour information.
Colour surveillance can provide additional evidence that may be lost in conventional black-and-white night footage, including:
- Clothing Colour
- Vehicle Colour
- Object Colour
- Property Features
- Environmental Details
This makes ColorVu particularly useful for security applications where accurate visual evidence is important.
HikAI-ISP Advanced Image Processing
A major technology upgrade in the G3 ColorVu generation is HikAI-ISP.
HikAI-ISP uses intelligent image processing to provide excellent noise reduction and improve image quality in challenging lighting environments.
This helps produce cleaner and more usable surveillance footage where conventional cameras may experience:
- Excessive Image Noise
- Reduced Detail
- Motion Blur
- Poor Low-Light Definition
The combination of ColorVu 3.0 + HikAI-ISP + F1.0 optics provides exceptional low-light surveillance performance.
Large 1/1.8" Image Sensor
The DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL uses a large 1/1.8-inch Progressive Scan CMOS sensor.
Combined with the F1.0 lens, the sensor maximises available light and supports excellent image performance in demanding low-light environments.
This makes the camera particularly suitable for:
- Driveways
- Car Parks
- Building Entrances
- Warehouses
- Side Access
- Commercial Properties
- Perimeter Surveillance
- Low-Light Outdoor Areas
Ultra-Wide F1.0 Aperture
The camera incorporates an ultra-wide F1.0 aperture, allowing substantially more available light to reach the image sensor.
Hikvision specifies minimum illumination of:
Colour: 0.0005 Lux @ F1.0, AGC ON
0 Lux with supplementary light
The combination of F1.0 optics and the large 1/1.8" sensor is fundamental to the camera's ColorVu low-light performance.
Smart Hybrid Light
The DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL features Smart Hybrid Light, integrating:
- 850nm Infrared Light
- Visible White Light
into one intelligent supplementary lighting system.
The camera provides three supplementary lighting modes, allowing the security system to be configured according to the requirements of the installation.
This provides significantly greater flexibility than conventional IR-only cameras.
Up to 30m IR & White Supplementary Lighting
Both infrared and white supplementary lighting are integrated into the camera, with a specified supplementary light range of up to 30 metres.
This enables the camera to adapt to different night-time surveillance requirements.
Smart supplementary lighting can help balance:
- Discreet Night Monitoring
- Colour Image Capture
- Event Verification
- Visible Security Deterrence
24/7 Colour Surveillance
ColorVu technology is designed to provide vivid colour images around the clock by maximising available ambient light and using supplementary lighting where required.
Retaining colour information can make security footage more useful when identifying characteristics such as:
- Vehicle Colour
- Clothing Colour
- Object Colour
- Property Details
- People & Vehicle Activity
130dB Scene-Adaptive WDR
The DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL features advanced 130dB scene-adaptive Wide Dynamic Range.
This helps the camera maintain useful image detail when bright and dark areas appear simultaneously within the monitored scene.
Typical applications include:
- Building Entrances
- Garage Entrances
- Shopfronts
- Covered Driveways
- Loading Areas
- Areas Facing Bright Daylight
- High-Contrast Indoor/Outdoor Scenes
Scene-adaptive processing helps optimise the image according to the actual surveillance environment.
Deep-Learning Human & Vehicle Classification
The camera incorporates deep-learning technology designed to focus supported security events on:
- Humans
- Vehicles
This can help reduce unnecessary event triggers caused by irrelevant movement such as:
- Animals
- Leaves
- Rain
- Shadows
- Changing Lighting
- Other Environmental Movement
Human and vehicle classification can provide more relevant security notifications and make event searching more efficient.
Intelligent Perimeter Protection
Deep-learning target classification can be used with supported intelligent security events to monitor important areas such as:
- Driveways
- Gates
- Property Boundaries
- Side Access
- Restricted Areas
- Car Parks
- Loading Zones
- Building Entrances
This provides a more intelligent surveillance solution than conventional motion-only detection.
Active Strobe Light
The DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL incorporates an active strobe light for proactive security deterrence.
When a configured security event occurs, the camera can activate its visual warning to alert people that the area is being actively monitored.
This can be particularly useful around:
- Driveways
- Front Yards
- Warehouses
- Restricted Areas
- Car Parks
- Commercial Properties
- Loading Areas
- Building Perimeters
Built-In Audible Warning
The camera also incorporates an audio alarm.
When appropriately configured, supported intelligent events can trigger an audible warning to provide an immediate security response.
The combination of:
AI Detection + Visual Strobe + Audible Warning
allows the camera to actively respond to selected security events rather than simply recording them.
Real-Time Two-Way Audio
The DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL provides built-in real-time two-way audio.
This allows compatible users to listen and communicate through the camera when the system is correctly configured.
Potential applications include communicating with:
- Visitors
- Delivery Drivers
- Staff
- Contractors
- People Entering Restricted Areas
- Persons Detected Around a Property
Arrayed Dual Built-In Microphones
The camera incorporates an arrayed dual-microphone system for high-quality real-time audio security.
The integrated microphones provide audio capture without requiring a separate external microphone for standard applications.
Audio can provide valuable additional context when reviewing security events around entrances, driveways, warehouses, retail premises and commercial buildings.
Audio recording should always be configured and used in accordance with applicable privacy and surveillance requirements.
Built-In Speaker
A built-in speaker supports:
- Real-Time Two-Way Communication
- Audible Security Warnings
- Active Deterrence
- Remote Voice Communication
Combined with the dual microphones, the camera provides a complete onboard audio solution.
2.8mm & 4mm Fixed Lens Options
