Hikvision DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL 8MP ColorVu camera for challenging environments

One of the most advanced Hikvision ColorVu cameras on the market

This camera comes from Hikvision and is an advanced model with ColorVu technology. That means it delivers color images both day and night – using both white light and infrared light depending on the situation. The camera can distinguish between people and vehicles, helping you avoid unnecessary alarms.

As you can see in the video below, the camera’s specialty is distinguishing between people, vehicles, and uninteresting objects.

About the camera

This camera is part of Hikvision’s ColorVu series and is built as a classic metal turret camera. It is robust, weather-resistant, and requires very little maintenance. It has an IP67 rating, which means it can withstand heavy rain and dust and can be installed both indoors and outdoors.

It has a NEMA 4X rating, which means it is resistant to corrosion and suitable for demanding environments – for example coastal areas.
The camera is 3-axis, making it easy to mount on a wall, ceiling, or sloped surfaces.

Color image at night (ColorVu + Smart Hybrid Light)

The camera uses an F1.0 super light-sensitive lens combined with intelligent LED lighting. That means:

• It provides color images around the clock
• It automatically switches between IR light and white light depending on the situation and need
• It can avoid unnecessarily dazzling the surroundings, since it lights up intelligently only when needed and switches on its own between white light and IR depending on the situation – so you get color images without disturbing neighbors or animals.

Human and vehicle detection (AcuSense)

You can set up the camera to react only to people and/or vehicles. When you draw a zone (for example by a garden gate or driveway), the camera can trigger a “response” when someone enters the area.

Examples of “smart events”:

• Intrusion into an area (for example a courtyard)
• Line crossing (for example at a driveway – only when someone arrives, not when they drive away)

What is a response?

A “response” is what the camera does when a rule is broken. With DS‑2CD2347G3‑LIS2UY, the response can be:

• Push notification on your phone (with image and link to the recording)
• Flashing white light to attract attention
• Audio warning played through the built-in speaker (you can also record your own message)
• Alarm output (for example turning on lights, opening a gate, activating an alarm)

If you choose the model with IS2U/SL, like this one, you get access to the full package of features.

IP67 approved

The camera is IP67-rated. That means it can handle all kinds of weather. It can be installed both indoors and outdoors.

• Dust-tight (6): Full protection against dust.
• Water-resistant when submerged (7): Can withstand temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter deep for up to 30 minutes.

Supports micro-SD cards

The camera supports a micro-SD card up to 512GB
(SD card (memory card not included, but can be purchased here).

About the lens

The camera is available with several lenses, and the lens affects the FOV (Field Of View) or, in Danish: viewing angle.
A 2.8 mm lens gives a horizontal FOV of 108.8°, vertical FOV of 56.4°, and diagonal FOV of 134.3°
A 4 mm lens gives a horizontal FOV of 93.3°, vertical FOV of 47.2°, and diagonal FOV of 114.2°

Mounting

The camera can be mounted directly on a wall or ceiling. If there is no room for cables behind it, we recommend a back box or junction box.
Under “accessories” you can find suitable brackets for this exact camera.

Power over Ethernet

Do like the professionals. POE means that only one cable is needed for the camera. The camera gets power through the network cable, typically from a recorder with built-in PoE, or from a POE switch.

ANR

Avoid losing recordings with AutomaticNetwork R eplenishment.
If there are network problems, the camera stores the recordings on an SD- card - and then sends them to the recorder when the connection is stable again.
