§ 01Overview
What the DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL is
Lens options: 2.8mm or 4mm focal length.
Note: Please indicate your choice in your order message.
The DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL is the flagship of Hikvision's 8MP ColorVu turret range, the G3 generation the channel calls ColorVu 3.0, and the camera in our 4, 6, 8 and 10 camera 4K ColorVu kits.
It does the two things night cameras usually trade off: full-colour 4K footage (3840 by 2160) down to 0.0005 lux through an F1.0 lens, and an active response.
Cross a line or zone and it fires its strobe and an audible warning through the strongest speaker in the family, lab-rated at 110dB at 10cm.
Smart Hybrid Light gives three night strategies from one camera: white light for 24/7 colour, infrared for discretion, or smart mode that holds infrared until a person or vehicle is detected and captures the event in colour.
Arrayed dual microphones and the speaker give genuine two-way talk through Hik-Connect, EIS smooths wind shake, and the housing is NEMA 4X anti-corrosion rated, the one to mount within salt air of the coast.
The honest catch is power: full output draws up to 17W, which needs an 802.3at (PoE+) port.
Our M-series kit NVRs supply af and at, but check third-party switches.
On a standard-PoE-only setup, the G2H-LISU/SL keeps the strobe and warnings at 10.5W.
Identification runs to about 8 metres with the 2.8mm lens or 10 metres with the 4mm.

§ 04Why choose this
Built for the way you actually use the DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL
Three night strategies, switchable
White light for 24/7 colour, infrared for discretion, smart mode for both, changed from the app rather than the ladder.
Built for the coast
NEMA 4X anti-corrosion rating is the spec that matters within a couple of kilometres of salt water, where standard housings quietly pit and stain.
Check your PoE budget first
Honest requirement: up to 17W means an 802.3at (PoE+) port. On standard PoE, the G2H-LISU/SL keeps the strobe and warnings at 10.5W. Pay for the G3 where the port and the position justify it.
§ 05Where it fits
Right at home in these scenarios
Coastal homes and beachfront businesses
The NEMA 4X housing is the difference a year of salt air makes, and 4K night colour identifies boats, vehicles and clothing where IR grey cannot.
Driveways and front approaches
Smart mode holds discreet infrared until a person steps in, then lights them in colour and warns them off, evidence and intervention in one event.
Site compounds and yards
Alarm and audio line in and out tie it into gates and sirens, dual mics capture audio evidence, and the strobe does the first shouting.
Wind-exposed mounts
EIS stabilisation earns its keep on poles and high eaves where gusts blur lesser cameras.
§ 06Setup
Installation & setup
What's in the Box
1. Hikvision DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL Camera × 1 2. Drill Template and Screw Kit × 1 3. Quick Start Guide × 1
Installation Requirements
1. Power: any 802.3at PoE+ NVR port or switch (max 17W). A separate 12V DC adapter is only needed without PoE. 2. Network: a wired Ethernet run back to your NVR or switch, PoE carries power and video together on the same line. 3. Mounting: solid wall, ceiling or eave at 2.5 to 3 metres, with the base sealed against the surface, the housing is IP67-rated for exposed positions.
App Setup
1. Activate the camera with a strong password on first connection, then add it to the Hik-Connect app via QR code. 2. Enable push notifications so human and vehicle alerts reach your phone, and pick your lighting mode (white, infrared or smart). 2b. Pick the warning tone or record your own message, and schedule strobe and audio so deterrence sleeps when you do. 3. Draw line crossing and intrusion zones tight to your own property through the camera's web interface, with target type set to human and vehicle.
