Hikvision DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL 8MP 4K ColorVu 3.0 Turret IP Camera 2.8mm — Full Colour at Night, Strobe Light + Audio Alarm, Two-Way Talk

Most cameras show you a grey figure at 2am. The Hikvision DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL 8MP ColorVu turret shows you a man in a red hoodie getting out of a white ute — and it does not wait for the recording to be useful later. The moment a person or vehicle crosses a line you set, the strobe flashes, the speaker sounds a warning, and you can talk to them live from your phone.

It does all of this in genuine 4K through an F1.0 lens, with three lighting modes you choose to suit the position, over a single PoE+ cable. Where the recording-only cameras in this range tell you what happened, the Hikvision DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL 8MP ColorVu turret changes what happens.

Colour Footage at Night, Not Grey — ColorVu 3.0 With an F1.0 Lens and 30 m White Light

ColorVu is Hikvision’s name for full-colour night imaging, and the 3.0 generation on the Hikvision DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL 8MP ColorVu turret pairs a 1/1.8″ sensor with an F1.0 lens that admits around four times the light of an F2.0 lens. Colour holds down to 0.0005 lux — far darker than a moonlit driveway — and when there is no light at all, the warm white light reaches 30 m so the scene stays in colour. That matters for evidence: a description of “dark blue jacket, silver hatchback” is worth more than “a person, a car”, and HikAI-ISP noise reduction keeps the image clean rather than smeared.

Warns Them Off Before They Touch Anything — Strobe Light and Audio Alarm

Draw a line or a zone in the Hik-Connect app. When a person or vehicle crosses it, the Hikvision DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL 8MP ColorVu turret flashes its white strobe and sounds an audible warning through a built-in speaker rated to 110 dB at 10 cm — loud enough to be unmistakable at the boundary of a property. Most people who are somewhere they should not be leave at that point, which is a better outcome than a clear recording of a break-in. Because the trigger is classified on the camera, a cat on the fence or a branch in the wind does not set it off.

Alerts on People and Vehicles, Not Pets and Branches — On-Camera Deep-Learning Classification

Deep-learning person and vehicle classification runs inside the Hikvision DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL 8MP ColorVu turret, so line-crossing, intrusion and region entry or exit rules only fire on the targets you care about. Alerts reach your phone through Hik-Connect, and the same events can trigger recording on your NVR, a snapshot to email, or the strobe and warning above. Face capture is on board for a clear still of anyone who approaches, and 130 dB wide dynamic range keeps a face in a dark porch and a plate in bright sun readable in the same frame.

Talk to Whoever Is There, Over One Cable — Two-Way Audio and PoE+ Install

The Hikvision DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL 8MP ColorVu turret’s arrayed dual microphones record synced audio with the video and let you hear the scene clearly; the speaker lets you answer a courier, tell a visitor you are on your way, or tell someone to leave. Power, video and audio all travel over one Cat6 run on PoE+ (802.3at, Class 4, up to 17 W at full load), so there is no separate power supply at the camera. A MicroSD slot takes cards up to 512GB and keeps recording locally if the network drops, replenishing the NVR automatically when it reconnects — MicroSD card not included. The all-metal housing is IP67 and NEMA 4X anti-corrosion rated, from -30 °C to 60 °C.

Where the Hikvision DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL 8MP ColorVu Turret Earns Its Place

🏡 Homes — the driveway, front approach and side gate, where colour at night and a warning at the boundary beat grey footage of a break-in

🏢 Business — shopfronts, yards and loading docks that need after-hours deterrence, a spoken challenge and colour evidence, not just a recording

🔧 Installers — one cable, on-camera classification and 4K colour night imaging with zoom-in detail: the Hikvision DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL 8MP ColorVu turret is an easy line to quote wherever deterrence is the brief

Hikvision DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL vs Hikvision DS-2CD2367G3-LIS2UY/SL — 8MP 4K or 6MP?

A practical mix works well: put the Hikvision DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL 8MP ColorVu turret on the wide positions — the front of the house, the yard, the car park — where 4K lets you zoom in on a face or a plate in recorded footage, and add the DS-2CD2367G3-LIS2UY/SL 6MP to the same order for the driveway and side-gate positions at a sharper price per camera.
