CLEARANCE — Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2-LSU/SL 8MP 4K ColorVu 2.8mm Black Turret Camera — Colour at Night, Strobe Light + Audio Alarm, Two-Way Talk (H)

Clearance, plainly: we hold a set number of the black 2.8mm version of this camera, it is priced below its usual mark. We are not reordering it. If your house or shop has dark trim and you have been waiting for a colour night camera with a strobe, the Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2-LSU/SL 8MP ColorVu black turret is the one to buy while we still have it.

Picture the side passage at 1am. The Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2-LSU/SL 8MP ColorVu black turret shows the person walking down it in colour, fires a white strobe and a warning through its speaker when they trigger the line you have armed, and puts your voice on that speaker when you answer from the Hik-Connect app. The resolution is 8MP 4K through a 2.8mm F1.0 lens, power and picture share one Cat6 cable, and the black metal housing looks like part of the house rather than an add-on.

Two pieces of hardware carry the night work: a large 1/1.2″ sensor and an F1.0 lens, which the datasheet rates for colour down to 0.0005 lux. Around them sit the extras that make this model a deterrent as well as a recorder — the strobe, the warning speaker, a microphone for two-way talk and on-camera classification of people and vehicles. Here you are buying the Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2-LSU/SL 8MP ColorVu black turret in its 2.8mm form at a clearance price, with a white 4mm sibling also on clearance.

Colour Footage at Night, Not Grey — What the F1.0 Lens and White Light Add

Rated to 0.0005 lux, the Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2-LSU/SL 8MP ColorVu black turret keeps colour in the spill from a porch globe, a neighbour’s window or a street lamp down the road. When the scene goes pitch dark, the turret’s own white light, rated to 30 m, lights it so the image keeps its colour instead of turning black-and-white. Colour changes what footage is worth afterwards: “a dark figure” helps no one, while “a man in a yellow hi-vis vest next to a blue sedan” is a description you can hand over.

Strobe Light and Warning Sound on Your Own Schedule — How the Strobe and Speaker Are Armed

Rule-setting happens in the Hik-Connect app: mark a tripwire over the drive or a box around the side passage, choose whether a person, a vehicle or either should count, then pick the hours it is armed. When that rule is triggered, the Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2-LSU/SL 8MP ColorVu black turret answers with a white strobe and a warning from its speaker. Arm it from 10pm to 6am and it stays quiet while the family comes and goes at dinner time. For bigger set-ups, the alarm output on the cable tail can trigger an external alarm device, such as a siren or a light through a suitable relay, and the alarm input can take a gate or door sensor.

Human and Vehicle Detection — Sorted Inside the Camera, Filtered in the App

The Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2-LSU/SL 8MP ColorVu black turret runs deep-learning analysis on board and classifies moving targets as people or vehicles. Line-crossing, intrusion, region-entrance and region-exit rules can use that classification, and notifications can be limited to human targets, vehicle targets or both — set the front path for people and the driveway for vehicles, for example. Face capture also appears on the datasheet’s list of smart events.

Talk to Whoever Is There, Over One Cable — Speaker, Microphone and a Single Cat6 Run

Two-way talk on the Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2-LSU/SL 8MP ColorVu black turret uses a noise-filtering microphone and a speaker in the same housing, so from the Hik-Connect app you can hear the person at your side gate and reply — tell a delivery driver where the parcel goes, or let a stranger know they are on camera. Wiring is one Cat6 run back to the PoE output of a Hikvision NVR or PoE switch, and that cable carries power, video and audio. It draws 8.5 W at most under the 802.3af standard, so a PoE+ (802.3at) output powers it too, and a 12 V DC input covers sites without PoE. An extra microphone can join through the line-in, and the cable tail also has one alarm input and one alarm output. The metal body is IP67 against rain and dust, and the datasheet rates it from -30 °C to 60 °C.

Where the Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2-LSU/SL 8MP ColorVu Black Turret Earns Its Place

🏡 Homes with dark eaves and a long front path — mount the Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2-LSU/SL 8MP ColorVu black turret under a charcoal fascia over the drive: colour clips of the cars that pull in after dark, a strobe and warning when a person crosses the zone you armed for the night, and a way to speak to a courier at the side gate while you are at work.

🏢 Shops, workshops and yards after closing — the Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2-LSU/SL 8MP ColorVu black turret suits dark shopfront signage and steel cladding. Schedule the strobe and warning for the hours the site is empty, keep colour footage of vehicles entering the yard overnight, and filter alerts to vehicles at the gate or people at the roller door.

🔧 Installers fitting out dark-trimmed homes — a clearance-priced 8MP ColorVu turret in black, with strobe, speaker and microphone in the one body. One Cat6 run, standard 802.3af power from a Hikvision NVR or switch, ONVIF Profile S, G and T for mixed sites, and on-camera classification of people and vehicles. Quote the Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2-LSU/SL 8MP ColorVu black turret to clients who want a camera that matches the gutters.

Datasheet figures for the Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2-LSU/SL 8MP ColorVu black turret:

Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2-LSU/SL 2.8mm Black or 4mm White — Wide Driveway View or Longer Reach?

Plenty of homes suit both. The Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2-LSU/SL 8MP ColorVu black turret gives the wide picture of a drive or front yard from one corner of a dark fascia; the 4mm white version trades some width for reach, which suits a long side passage or a pale soffit. Both run from the same Hikvision recorder and the same app, and both are on clearance, so one order covers the front and the side.
