01Overview

What the DS-2CD2087G3-LI(2U)Y is

The Hikvision DS-2CD2087G3-LI2U/Y is an 8 MP ColorVu 3.0 Smart Hybrid Light mini bullet built for full-colour night images in a compact outdoor body. A large 1/1.8" sensor and a bright F1.0 lens deliver sharp 8 MP (3840 x 2160) pictures, and 130 dB Wide Dynamic Range balances bright and shaded areas in the same frame. ColorVu 3.0 keeps full-colour images after dark rather than the black-and-white of an infrared camera.

Smart Hybrid Light is what makes that work. It uses a low-level warm white light to hold colour at night and can fall back to infrared, with the supplement light reaching up to 40 m, so you choose between everyday colour and a more discreet mode. AcuSense deep learning classifies people and vehicles on the camera and runs perimeter rules that alarm only on those targets, so trees, rain and animals are far less likely to set off an alert. Dual built-in microphones capture audio alongside the video for added context.

This is the LI2U/Y variant: it has dual microphones but no built-in speaker, so it captures audio rather than offering two-way talk-back; if you need talk-back, choose a /S or /SL model with a speaker. It is a compact metal bullet rated IP67 with a NEMA 4X anti-corrosion rating for salt-affected and industrial sites, with a microSD slot up to 512 GB and H.265+ compression. Fixed 2.8 mm or 4 mm lens options set the view, and it runs on PoE (802.3af) or 12 VDC. Record it to a Hikvision AcuSense NVR so the people and vehicle events stay quick to search.

8MP Ultra HD

8MP (4K) resolution captures four times the detail of 1080p.
Even when a person or car is far down the driveway, you can zoom in and still recognise a face or read a number plate — detail that lower-resolution cameras lose.

40m IR Night Vision — Built-in infrared sees in total darkness up to around 40m, reaching further across a ... (2/2)

40m IR Night Vision

Built-in infrared sees in total darkness up to around 40m, reaching further across a larger yard or laneway. Subjects appear in clear black-and-white, sharper and brighter as they get closer.

Dual-Light Night Vision

Combines infrared with a warm spotlight so it can light a scene in colour at night rather than relying on black-and-white alone — clearer, more useful footage when there's something to see.

Full Color Night Vision

Unlike plain black-and-white night vision, this camera can capture colour after dark — so you can pick out the actual colour of a car, a jacket or a bag, detail that grey infrared footage loses.
False Alarm Reduction — Filtering helps separate real activity from harmless movement like rain, leaves or ...

False Alarm Reduction

Filtering helps separate real activity from harmless movement like rain, leaves or pets, so you get fewer pointless notifications and the alerts that matter stand out.

Human/Vehicle Detection

Smart detection focuses on people and vehicles and can ignore things like swaying branches, rain or small animals — helping cut down false alerts and making the right moments easier to find.

IP67 Weatherproof

Sealed against dust and water to IP67, built to keep working through rain, storms and harsh sun — suitable for fully outdoor mounting.

Strobe Light

On detecting activity, the camera can trigger a bright flashing strobe to make an intruder aware they've been spotted — a visible warning rather than silent recording.

04Why choose this

Built for the way you actually use the DS-2CD2087G3-LI(2U)Y

Full colour at night

ColorVu 3.0 and Smart Hybrid Light hold full-colour images in the dark instead of black and white.

Fewer false alarms

AcuSense classifies people and vehicles, so alerts come from real targets, not weather and animals.

Built for harsh sites

An IP67 body with NEMA 4X anti-corrosion suits salt-affected, coastal-adjacent and industrial positions.

Audio with the video

Dual built-in microphones capture sound alongside the footage for added context.

05Where it fits

Right at home in these scenarios

Homes and driveways

Keep full-colour footage of visitors and vehicles at the front of a property after dark.

Retail and storefronts

Capture clear 8 MP colour detail at an entrance or display window at night.

Warehouses and yards

Cover external walls and loading areas with colour night vision and people and vehicle filtering.

Coastal and industrial sites

Use the NEMA 4X body where salt or pollution would attack a standard camera.

06Setup

Installation & setup

  1. What's in the box

    One DS-2CD2087G3-LI2U/Y bullet camera with a mounting template, fixings and a quick guide. The PoE switch or NVR, network cable, microSD card and any junction box are supplied separately.

  2. Installation requirements

    Mount it on a wall or eave aimed along the area to cover, and run one network cable back to a PoE (802.3af) switch or NVR, or use 12 VDC. Set the Smart Hybrid Light mode and AcuSense rules in the software, and record it to a Hikvision AcuSense NVR. A junction box tidies the cabling on a flat wall.

08Questions

Frequently asked about the DS-2CD2087G3-LI(2U)Y

Q.01

Does the DS-2CD2087G3-LI2U/Y record in colour at night?
Yes. It uses ColorVu 3.0 with Smart Hybrid Light, which keeps a low warm white light on to hold full-colour images in the dark, and can blend in infrared. That is different from an infrared-only camera, which shows black and white at night.
Q.02

Does it have two-way audio or a speaker?
This variant has dual built-in microphones but no built-in speaker, so it captures audio along with the video rather than offering two-way talk-back. If you need to speak through the camera, choose a /S or /SL model that lists a built-in speaker.
Q.03

What is Smart Hybrid Light?
Smart Hybrid Light combines a warm white light and infrared. It can keep the white light on for everyday full colour, fall back to infrared for a discreet black-and-white image, or switch automatically, so you tune the night behaviour to the site.
Q.04

How does AcuSense cut false alarms?
AcuSense classifies people and vehicles, so perimeter rules such as line crossing and intrusion alarm only on those targets. Moving branches, rain and animals are far less likely to trigger an alert than on a basic motion camera.
Q.05

What lens and view does it have?
It comes with a fixed 2.8 mm or 4 mm lens. The 2.8 mm gives a wide view for a driveway or wall, and the 4 mm gives a longer, narrower view. Pick the lens to match the area you want to cover, as the focus is fixed.
Q.06

What power and recorder does it need?
It runs on PoE (802.3af) over one network cable, or on 12 VDC. Record it to a Hikvision AcuSense NVR so the people and vehicle events are stored and searchable; standard PoE is enough for this model.
Q.07

Is it suitable for coastal or industrial sites?
It has an IP67 metal body with a NEMA 4X anti-corrosion rating, so it handles salt-affected suburban, coastal-adjacent and industrial positions better than a standard housing, along with everyday dust and rain.
Q.08

How much footage can it store on board?
It has a microSD slot that takes a card up to 512 GB for local recording or edge backup, which keeps footage on the camera if the network or recorder drops out.
