Hikvision DS-2CD2T87G3-LIS2UY/SL 8MP 4K ColorVu Smart Hybrid Light Bullet 2.8mm AcuSense Active Deterrence Two-Way Audio

The Hikvision DS-2CD2T87G3-LIS2UY/SL gives you four things most cameras can’t deliver together: 24/7 full-colour 4K imaging, AI detection that tells you when an actual person or vehicle has entered your property, active deterrence that fires the moment a threat is confirmed, and real-time two-way communication from your phone. It doesn’t just record what happens — it actively responds to it. Set it up with a Hikvision NVR, connect the Hik-Connect app, and your property is covered around the clock with evidence-quality footage and an active deterrent that works without you having to be there.

8MP 4K ColorVu — Full Colour When It Counts Most

The F1.0 super-aperture lens and 1/1.8″ progressive scan CMOS sensor achieve 0.0005 Lux minimum illumination in colour — vivid, identifiable colour footage in near-total darkness without white light activation. At 4K resolution, faces, clothing, and vehicle details are captured with the clarity needed to identify who was there and what happened. Where standard cameras switch to greyscale after dark, this camera gives you colour continuously — the detail that makes footage actually useful for identification and insurance documentation.

Smart Hybrid Light — Discreet Until the Moment That Matters

Smart Hybrid Light runs IR continuously for discreet surveillance — no visible light, no announcement that the camera is watching. When AcuSense confirms a human or vehicle detection, white light activates instantly — switching from IR to colour at the critical moment, capturing the evidence that matters, then deactivating after the event. Up to 60m range. No continuous white light output between events, no neighbour impact — just colour footage precisely when and where you need it.

AcuSense AI — Alerts That Actually Mean Something

AcuSense deep learning perimeter protection classifies every motion event before sending an alert. Line crossing, intrusion, region entrance, and region exiting — all configured to trigger only on confirmed human and vehicle targets. Animals crossing the yard, headlights passing on the street, branches moving in the wind — none of these generate alerts. You get notified when a person enters your property. That is the only notification that matters, and that is the only notification you receive.

Active Deterrence — Stop an Incident Before It Starts

The moment AcuSense confirms a detection, the active deterrence system fires — white strobe light and audible alarm warning intruders they have been seen and identified. Deterrence fires on confirmed AI detection only, not on general movement. Schedule it to after-hours only if required, or disable it entirely while retaining full AcuSense detection and recording. Combined with two-way audio, you can speak directly to anyone in camera view from the Hik-Connect app in real time — an immediate deterrent from wherever you are.

Arrayed Dual-Microphone and Two-Way Audio

The built-in arrayed dual-microphone captures high-quality ambient audio alongside 4K video — cleaner voice capture than a standard single-element microphone. The 2W built-in speaker (120dB SPL @ 10cm) enables real-time two-way communication from the Hik-Connect app. Speak to staff, visitors, or intruders from anywhere, in real time, without being physically present. For access management, remote response, or simply checking in on your property, two-way audio changes what you can do from your phone.

130dB Scene-Adaptive WDR and NEMA 4X Housing

130dB scene-adaptive Wide Dynamic Range handles extreme contrast — direct sunlight, backlit entrances, headlight glare in car parks — without losing shadow or highlight detail. The IP67 + NEMA 4X anti-corrosion housing provides enhanced corrosion resistance above standard outdoor cameras, making this a strong choice for exposed outdoor installations including light coastal and general commercial environments.

Where This Camera Earns Its Place Across Australia

🏠 Homeowners — driveways, front entries, and perimeter coverage — the 2.8mm 108.8° field of view covers a full driveway or front yard from a single camera. AcuSense means your phone alerts you when a person enters your property — not when the neighbour’s cat crosses the yard. Smart Hybrid Light keeps monitoring discreet until the moment it matters, then switches to colour so you can see exactly who is there. Active deterrence gives you an immediate response option from the Hik-Connect app, wherever you are.

🏪 Retail, warehouses, and loading docks — active deterrence fires on confirmed human detection after hours, warning intruders before an incident escalates. Two-way audio lets you speak to the situation in real time from Hik-Connect. 8MP 4K resolution delivers evidence-quality footage for insurance documentation and incident reporting.

🏢 Commercial perimeters and car parks — 60m Smart Hybrid Light range covers long fence lines and car park rows. Perimeter protection with line crossing and intrusion detection gives security teams real-time alerts on confirmed human activity, with two-way audio for immediate remote engagement.
