§ 01Overview

What the DS-2CD3787G3T-LIZSU(Y) is

The Hikvision DS-2CD3787G3T-LIZSU(Y) is an 8 MP ColorVu 3.0 dome with a motorised 2.7 to 13.5 mm zoom, made for sites that want true full-colour night images and the option of an anti-corrosion housing.

A 1/1.8" sensor and an F1.2 lens record 8 MP (3840 x 2160) video, and the motorised varifocal lens lets you set zoom and focus remotely from a wide view down to a tight long-range shot.

With 130 dB Wide Dynamic Range, the image stays readable where strong daylight meets shadow, such as a glass entrance or a covered driveway.

ColorVu paired with Smart Hybrid Light is the headline.

ColorVu's large aperture pulls in available light, and the white supplement light fills in when it gets truly dark, holding full-colour images up to 40 m rather than the black and white of infrared-only cameras.

Smart Hybrid Light also lets you run a discreet infrared mode or a smart mode that only switches on white light when a target is detected, which limits light spill near homes.

Deep-learning analytics classify people and vehicles, so perimeter rules such as line crossing and intrusion alarm on those targets and ignore the weather and animals that trigger basic motion detection.

Audio is an arrayed dual microphone plus audio in and out terminals, so it records clear sound; it does not include a built-in speaker, so it is not a stand-alone talk-back camera.

The metal dome is IP67 against dust and water and IK10 against impact, and the -Y variant adds NEMA 4X anti-corrosion for coastal and industrial air, which is why it suits beachside shops, marinas and chemical sites.

A microSD slot holds up to 512 GB, H.265+ keeps file sizes down, and it runs on PoE (802.3at) or 12 VDC.

Record it to a Hikvision AcuSense NVR for fast human and vehicle search.

What the DS-2CD3787G3T-LIZSU(Y) features actually look like

Representative illustrations of how each key feature performs in a real scene.

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 larger yard or laneway. Subjects appear in clear black-and-white, sharper and brighter as they get closer.

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.

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.

§ 04Why choose this

Built for the way you actually use the DS-2CD3787G3T-LIZSU(Y)

True colour at night

ColorVu plus Smart Hybrid Light keeps full-colour images to about 40 m, so clothing, skin tone and vehicle colour are recorded after dark.

Anti-corrosion option

The -Y NEMA 4X variant resists salt and chemical air, so it lasts at marinas, beachfront shops and industrial sites where standard cameras corrode.

Remote-set zoom

The motorised 2.7 to 13.5 mm lens is framed and focused from software, so one camera covers a wide area or reaches a distant gate without a ladder.

Targeted alarms

Human and vehicle detection keeps alerts to real targets and cuts the weather-driven false alarms of basic motion cameras.

§ 05Where it fits

Right at home in these scenarios

Coastal and marine sites

The -Y anti-corrosion housing handles salt air at marinas, jetties and beachfront retail, while ColorVu keeps colour detail after dark.

Retail and hospitality

Full-colour night video and 130 dB WDR record faces and clothing at a lit entrance, and people counting helps measure visitor flow.

Industrial and chemical sites

NEMA 4X resists corrosive air, and human and vehicle rules keep alerts focused on staff and vehicles in active yards.

Driveways and gates

Zoom the lens to a gate or a long approach and rely on white-light colour to read plates and vehicle colour at night.

§ 06Setup

Installation & setup

01

In the box

Camera, mounting template and screws, a waterproofing kit for the network lead and the quick start guide. A microSD card, NVR and power supply are separate.

02

Mounting

Fix to a wall or ceiling, or use a Hikvision bracket or junction box for a clean cable exit. Set the motorised zoom and focus from software once mounted.

03

Power and cabling

One Cat6 lead to a PoE (802.3at) switch or NVR, or a local 12 VDC supply. Keep cable runs within 100 m or add a PoE switch or extender.

04

Coastal setup tips

On salt-air sites choose the -Y model, rinse the housing during maintenance, and use the smart white-light mode to limit night-time light spill near homes.

§ 07Questions

Frequently asked about the DS-2CD3787G3T-LIZSU(Y)

Q.01

Is the DS-2CD3787G3T-LIZSU a ColorVu camera or a DarkFighter camera?

It is a ColorVu camera with Smart Hybrid Light. ColorVu uses a large aperture and a white supplement light to keep full-colour images at night, up to about 40 metres. Some listings mention DarkFighter, but this model's night image is colour-led, not the infrared black and white of a DarkFighter.
Q.02

What does the -Y on the end of the model mean?

The -Y suffix is the anti-corrosion version, certified to NEMA 4X. It is the one to choose for salt air, marinas, pools and industrial sites where a standard housing would corrode over time.
Q.03

Can I control the white light so it does not annoy neighbours?

Yes. Smart Hybrid Light has several modes. You can run full-colour with white light, a discreet infrared-only mode, or a smart mode that only switches on the white light when a person or vehicle is detected, which keeps night-time light spill to a minimum.
Q.04

Does it have two-way audio?

It has an arrayed dual microphone and audio in and out terminals, so it records sound well. It does not include a built-in speaker, so it is not a stand-alone talk-back camera. You can add an external active speaker on the audio output for announcements.
Q.05

How is the false-alarm filtering handled?

On-camera deep learning classifies people and vehicles. Perimeter rules such as line crossing and intrusion alarm only on those targets, so rain, headlights through trees and animals are far less likely to create a recording or alert.
Q.06

Which recorder should I use with it?

Use a Hikvision AcuSense NVR so human and vehicle events are searchable. The 8-channel DS-7608NI-M2/8P suits smaller sites and the 16-channel DS-7616NI-M2/16P suits larger ones. A single PoE cable carries power and video.
Q.07

What is the maximum coverage of the motorised lens?

At its widest 2.7 mm setting it gives roughly a 112 degree horizontal view for open areas, and zoomed to 13.5 mm it narrows to about 41 degrees to reach a gate or a far fence line. You set this from software after mounting.
Q.08

How does it compare with the DS-2CD3786G2HT Smart Hybrid Light dome?

Both are 8 MP motorised Smart Hybrid Light domes. This G3T model leads with ColorVu and the anti-corrosion -Y option for coastal use. The DS-2CD3786G2HT adds two built-in microphones. Choose on audio needs, corrosion exposure and warranty.

§ 09Bundles

Recommended packages

01

Record and review it

Pair it with a Hikvision AcuSense recorder such as the 8-channel DS-7608NI-M2/8P or the 16-channel DS-7616NI-M2/16P, and fit a surveillance drive like the 6 TB drive for weeks of 8 MP footage.

02

Match it with a Smart Hybrid Light dome

Run it with the DS-2CD3786G2HT-LIZSUY where you need two built-in microphones, for a consistent 8 MP dome look across the site.

03

Store footage on the camera

A microSD card up to 512 GB gives on-board recording and a fallback if the network drops.
