Hikvision DS-2CD2T87G2H-LISU/SL 8MP Smart Hybrid Light ColorVu Bullet Camera Light & Speaker Liveguard
The Hikvision DS-2CD2T87G2H-LISU/SL is an 8 MP Smart Hybrid Light bullet that combines ColorVu colour night vision with infrared and active deterrence. It runs on quiet infrared until AcuSense detects a person or vehicle, then switches on white light to capture full-colour evidence and can flash a strobe and play an audible warning.

§ 01Overview
What the DS-2CD2T87G2H-LISU/SL is
The Hikvision DS-2CD2T87G2H-LISU/SL is an 8 MP bullet with Smart Hybrid Light, which lets you pick how the scene is lit at night.
Left on infrared it stays discreet and energy efficient; set to ColorVu it records full colour around the clock using the F1.0 aperture and white supplement light; or in smart mode it runs on infrared until a person or vehicle is detected and then turns on white light to capture colour detail at the moment it matters.
The supplement light reaches up to 60 m.
At 8 MP the sensor resolves number plates, faces and signage with room to digitally zoom into recorded footage, and 130 dB WDR keeps detail when a bright sky or headlight sits behind a shaded area.
AcuSense deep-learning analytics classify human and vehicle targets so your motion, line-crossing and intrusion rules ignore animals, rain and moving branches.
When a real target is detected the camera can flash a white strobe and play an audible warning, and the built-in microphone and speaker let you talk to people on site through the Hik-Connect app.
This is a metal bullet rated IP67 for Australian sun, dust and driving rain, with a 2.8 mm wide lens or a 4 mm lens for a tighter view.
Power and network it over one PoE cable (802.3af) or use 12 VDC, support a microSD card up to 512 GB on the edge, and record it to a Hikvision AcuSense NVR so events stay quick to search.

§ 09Bundles
Recommended packages
Record and search it
Connect it to a Hikvision AcuSense recorder such as the 8-channel DS-7608NI-I2/8P NVR, or the larger 16-channel DS-7732NXI-I4/16P, so human and vehicle events stay quick to find. Add a surveillance-grade drive like the 8 TB for weeks of continuous footage.
Power it over one cable
Run a single network cable per camera from a PoE source. The HiLook 8-port PoE switch feeds several cameras and the recorder, keeping the cabling tidy on multi-camera sites.
Mount it cleanly
A DS-1280ZJ-S junction box tidies the cabling and screw runs behind the bullet and gives a neat finish on a wall or eave.
