Hikvision ColorVu 8MP 4K Turret Camera with F1.0 Aperture for 24/7 Full-Color Video, Built-In Microphone, 130 dB WDR, 30m White Light, H.265+, MicroSD, IP67 Weatherproof, PoE (DS-2CD2387G2-LU)
The Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2-LU is an 8MP ColorVu turret security camera that captures full-color 4K video around the clock, even in near-total darkness. The 1/1.2-inch progressive scan CMOS sensor paired with an F1.0 aperture gathers enough light to produce vivid color footage at illumination levels as low as 0.0005 lux, eliminating the washed-out grayscale imagery that conventional IR cameras deliver at night. The built-in microphone records ambient audio alongside the video stream, and 130 dB wide dynamic range handles mixed lighting scenes where bright storefronts, headlights, or overhead fixtures meet shadowed areas in the same frame.
The camera outputs 3840 x 2160 resolution at up to 25 fps over H.265+ compression, reducing bandwidth and storage consumption compared to standard H.264 streams without sacrificing image quality. Onboard AI analytics classify detected motion as human or vehicle targets, and smart events including line crossing, intrusion detection, and region entrance/exit provide automated perimeter monitoring. Available with a 2.8 mm or 4 mm fixed lens, the all-metal IP67-rated housing installs on walls, soffits, and junction boxes for indoor and outdoor deployments. Powered by 802.3af PoE with a maximum draw of 6.5W.
Where the DS-2CD2387G2-LU Fits
- Parking lots, loading docks, and outdoor perimeters where conventional IR cameras lose color detail after sunset, the ColorVu F1.0 aperture and 30-meter white light maintain full-color 4K recording throughout the night, and the 130 dB WDR preserves detail when headlights, security floods, or streetlamps create high-contrast scenes in the same frame
- Retail storefronts, entrances, and point-of-sale areas where color footage captures clothing, signage, and vehicle details that grayscale IR footage misses, the built-in microphone adds an audio layer for incident review, and H.265+ compression keeps 4K storage requirements manageable across multi-camera deployments
- Warehouse interiors, hallways, and facility corridors where AI-based human and vehicle classification filters routine motion from actionable events, line crossing and intrusion detection trigger automated alerts for restricted zones, and the IP67 metal housing handles temperature swings from -30 to 60 degrees Celsius without environmental enclosures
What the DS-2CD2387G2-LU Delivers
- 8MP 4K Resolution with ColorVu Full-Color Imaging: 3840 x 2160 output on a 1/1.2-inch CMOS sensor with an F1.0 aperture. ColorVu technology produces full-color footage at 0.0005 lux minimum illumination, with 30 meters of white light supplemental range for complete darkness.
- Built-In Microphone and 130 dB WDR: The integrated microphone captures ambient audio with environmental noise filtering. 130 dB true WDR balances exposure across mixed-lighting scenes where bright and dark areas coexist, preserving detail in both highlights and shadows.
- AI-Powered Smart Events and Face Capture: Onboard deep learning classifies motion as human or vehicle. Smart events include line crossing, intrusion detection, and region entrance/exit with configurable alert zones. Supports face capture for searchable event metadata.
- H.265+ Compression with PoE and IP67 Protection: H.265+ encoding reduces bandwidth and storage versus H.264. Powered by 802.3af PoE (6.5W max). All-metal construction with IP67 rating. MicroSD slot supports up to 256 GB onboard storage. ONVIF Profile S/G/T compatible.
