§ 01Overview
What the DS-2CD2387G2P-LSU/SL is
Lens: fixed dual 4mm (spliced 180° view).
The DS-2CD2387G2P-LSU/SL is the one-camera answer to covering everything in front of a wall, in colour, at night.
Two 1/1.8-inch sensors splice into a single 5120 by 1440 panorama spanning 180 degrees horizontally, and white light supplement to 30 metres keeps the whole half-circle in colour down to 0.0005 lux.
The two halves meet at a soft blend line you position when you set the camera up.
It also answers back: cross a line or zone and the camera fires a white light flash and an audible warning through its speaker (lab-rated 95dB at 10cm), with a built-in mic for two-way audio through Hik-Connect, plus alarm and audio line in and out for integration.
The honest trade-offs of a panorama: identification runs to about 7 metres, so this is a close-quarters sweep camera, not a long-range one, and the spliced stream records at 20fps (12.5fps with WDR on) rather than 25.
White light is the only night mode, there is no infrared on this model, so plan for visible light when it is dark.
On-board storage is a 256GB MicroSD ceiling, standard 802.3af PoE at 10.5W max, metal IP67 housing.

§ 04Why choose this
Built for the way you actually use the DS-2CD2387G2P-LSU/SL
The whole frontage in colour
White light to 30 metres keeps the full half-circle in colour at night, clothing and vehicle colours readable across the entire sweep.
It sweeps and it speaks
A zone crossing anywhere in the panorama fires the light flash and a warning, and two-way audio handles the conversation that follows.
Sweep, don't reach
Honest fit: identification to about 7 metres and 20fps make this a close-quarters camera. For one approach at distance, the G3 turret is the better tool.
§ 05Where it fits
Right at home in these scenarios
Verandahs and patios
One mount at the centre of the wall sees both corners at once, in colour, the spot two cameras or one compromise angle usually covers badly.
Shopfronts and forecourts
The whole frontage on one timeline: window, door and footpath approach, with a warning at the glass for whoever lingers after close.
Courtyards and carparks
A half-circle of colour coverage from one PoE run, and the white light doubles as area lighting when something moves.
Between-building gaps
Mounted in a breezeway or against a fence, it watches both directions at once where a normal lens forces a choice.

Installation & setup
What's in the Box
1. Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2P-LSU/SL Camera × 1 2. Drill Template and Screw Kit × 1 3. Quick Start Guide × 1
Installation Requirements
1. Power: any 802.3af PoE NVR port or switch (max 10.5W). 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: centre of the wall or eave you want swept, 2.5 to 3 metres up, the 180-degree view makes position matter more than aim.
App Setup
1. Activate the camera with a strong password, then add it to the Hik-Connect app via QR code. 2. Enable push notifications, and pick the warning tone or record your own message with schedules for the light flash and audio. 3. Draw line crossing and intrusion zones on the panorama, keeping footpaths and the neighbour's frontage out of them.

§ 09Bundles
Recommended packages
Pair with reach
A common layout: this panorama sweeping the frontage, with G3 turrets on the driveway and long approaches, one NVR, consistent AI.
Build it into a system
Our 8MP ColorVu kits pair M-series NVRs with a surveillance drive, add this camera to a kit order for the wall that needs the full half-circle.
Quieter panorama needs?
If deterrence isn't wanted, run it with the strobe and audio scheduled off, the 180-degree colour coverage works the same.
The 6MP version
For this panorama at 6MP, see the 6MP value pick, same 180-degree sweep at lower resolution and price.
