8MP ColorVu Turret Security Camera with 24/7 Full-Color Imaging, f/1.0 Large Aperture, Deep Learning Human and Vehicle Classification, Built-In Microphone, H.265+ Compression, 130dB WDR, IR White Light to 30m, MicroSD to 256GB, IP67, and PoE Power
The Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2-LU is an 8MP ColorVu turret camera with a 2.8mm fixed lens and deep learning analytics for indoor and outdoor security camera installations. The DS-2CD2387G2-LU captures at 3840 x 2160 resolution with a 1/1.2-inch progressive scan CMOS sensor, f/1.0 large aperture, and ColorVu 24/7 full-color imaging that delivers usable color detail in lighting conditions as low as 0.0005 Lux.
The metal turret body carries IP67 weatherproofing for exposed outdoor positions and supports a -22 to 140 F operating range. The built-in microphone adds audio documentation to recorded events, and onboard microSD storage up to 256GB provides edge recording independent of the NVR. H.265+ compression and 130dB wide dynamic range keep bandwidth manageable and exposure balanced across the full 102-degree horizontal field of view.
Where the DS-2CD2387G2-LU Fits
- Parking lots and building perimeters where ColorVu 24/7 full-color imaging captures clothing color, vehicle color, and facial detail that traditional IR cameras lose after dark, the f/1.0 aperture collects enough light for color video at 0.0005 Lux, and the 30-meter white supplement light fills the scene without switching to black-and-white
- Retail and commercial buildings where deep learning human and vehicle classification filters false alarms from environmental motion before events reach the NVR, the built-in microphone adds audio documentation to incident recordings, and face detection supports post-event search by face
- Remote and edge recording installations where onboard microSD storage up to 256GB records locally when the NVR or network is unavailable, PoE (IEEE 802.3af) delivers power and data over a single cable, and IP67 construction supports continuous outdoor operation across seasons
What the DS-2CD2387G2-LU Delivers
- 8MP Resolution with f/1.0 Large Aperture: 3840 x 2160 imaging from a 1/1.2-inch progressive scan CMOS sensor with an f/1.0 maximum aperture that collects significantly more light than standard f/2.0 lenses, enabling full-color video in low-light conditions where other cameras switch to black-and-white IR.
- ColorVu 24/7 Full-Color Imaging: White supplement light and the large-aperture sensor deliver color video around the clock, capturing details like clothing color, vehicle color, and facial features at illumination levels as low as 0.0005 Lux (F1.0, AGC On).
- Deep Learning Analytics with Built-In Microphone: On-camera human and vehicle classification, face detection, intrusion detection, and line-crossing detection filter false alarms at the camera before events reach the NVR. The integrated microphone captures audio alongside video for complete event documentation.
- IP67 Metal Construction with Edge Storage: Metal turret body with IP67 water and dust sealing for outdoor and exposed locations. 130dB wide dynamic range handles high-contrast scenes, and the onboard microSD slot supports up to 256GB for local recording when the network connection is interrupted.
What is ColorVu in Hikvision?
ColorVu is Hikvision's full-color imaging technology that uses large-aperture lenses and advanced sensor design to capture color video 24 hours a day. The DS-2CD2387G2-LU uses a 1/1.2-inch sensor with an f/1.0 aperture, collecting up to four times more light than a standard f/2.0 lens. Combined with the white supplement light, ColorVu produces identifiable color detail in conditions as low as 0.0005 Lux, capturing clothing colors, vehicle colors, and facial features that are lost in traditional black-and-white IR footage.
