01Overview

What the DS-2CD2187G2H-LI(SU) is

The Hikvision DS-2CD2187G2H-LISU is an 8 MP dome that combines true 4K resolution with Smart Hybrid Light, so it reads detail by day and keeps colour at night. A 1/1.8" sensor and an F1.0 aperture capture 3840 x 2160 video with the light needed to identify faces and number plates, and 130 dB WDR balances bright entry lights against deep shadow.

At night the camera works the way most sites prefer. It holds quiet infrared until AcuSense detects a person or vehicle, then white light switches on for full-colour footage up to 30 m. Because the colour light only fires on a real detection, you avoid constant glare while still recording who was there. AcuSense deep-learning analytics classify human and vehicle targets, so line-crossing and intrusion alarms ignore animals, rain and foliage, and a built-in microphone records audio with the video.

It is built for an exposed mounting position. The dome is IP67 against dust and rain and IK10 against impact, takes a 2.8 mm or 4 mm lens, and runs on a single PoE cable or 12 VDC. Record it to a Hikvision AcuSense NVR so the human and vehicle events stay searchable. This model has a microphone for audio but no speaker, so it records sound rather than offering two-way talk-back.

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.

30m IR Night Vision

Built-in infrared lets the camera see in complete darkness up to around 30m — enough for a typical driveway, front yard or entrance. People and vehicles stay clear in black-and-white, brighter the closer they are.

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 d...

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 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.

Two-Way Audio

Talk and listen in real time through the app — tell a courier where to leave a parcel, or speak to someone at the gate, whether you're home or away.

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.

Smart Hybrid Light stays in infrared by default and only shows white light on a real event.

Alerts that matter

AcuSense human and vehicle classification keeps perimeter alarms focused on people and cars.

Built to last

IP67 and IK10 let the dome handle weather, dust and impact in exposed positions.

05Where it fits

Driveways

Capture vehicles and visitors in 4K and switch to colour the moment someone is detected at night.

Storefronts

Keep a colour record of after-hours activity at the shop without lighting it up all night.

06Setup

Installation & setup

  1. What's in the box

    One DS-2CD2187G2H-LISU fixed dome 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 ceiling above the area to cover and run one network cable to a PoE switch or NVR, or wire 12 VDC. Frame the scene, set the Smart Hybrid Light and AcuSense rules in the software, and add it to a Hikvision AcuSense NVR for recording and event search.

08Questions

Frequently asked about the DS-2CD2187G2H-LI(SU)

Q.01

Does the DS-2CD2187G2H-LISU record in colour at night?
It uses Smart Hybrid Light, so it watches in discreet infrared by default and turns on white light for full-colour footage up to 30 m when it detects a person or vehicle. You get a low-profile dome most of the night and bright colour when something happens.
Q.02

What is the difference between this and a plain ColorVu dome?
A plain ColorVu dome leans on white light to keep colour all the time, while this Smart Hybrid Light model stays in infrared by default and only uses white light on a detection. That keeps a lower profile, reduces light spill and still gives you full colour on a real event.
Q.03

Does it have two-way audio?
It has a built-in microphone that records audio with the video, but no speaker, so it cannot play a warning or talk back. For an audible warning and two-way talk, choose a model listed with a built-in speaker, strobe or active deterrence.
Q.04

How does it keep false alarms down?
AcuSense deep-learning analytics classify human and vehicle targets, so motion, line-crossing and intrusion alarms fire on people and cars and skip animals, rain and moving branches. That trims nuisance alerts and lets you search recordings by person or vehicle.
Q.05

Is it strong enough for an exposed spot?
Yes. The dome is rated IP67 against dust and heavy rain and IK10 against impact, so it suits entrances, car parks and shopfronts where it could be exposed to weather or knocked.
Q.06

How is it powered and recorded?
It runs on standard PoE over one network cable from a PoE switch or NVR, or on 12 VDC. Record it to a Hikvision AcuSense NVR so the human and vehicle events, faces and audio are stored and searchable, or use a microSD card for local storage.
Q.07

Which lens should I pick?
The 2.8 mm gives a wider view for a doorway or small forecourt, while the 4 mm narrows the field of view to reach a little further down a driveway or path. Choose the 2.8 mm for coverage and the 4 mm for distance.
