§ 01Overview

What the DS-2CD2H87G3-LIZSY is

The Hikvision DS-2CD2H87G3-LIZSY is an 8 MP Smart Hybrid Light turret with ColorVu 3.0 and a motorised 2.8 to 12 mm zoom, built for demanding sites that need full-colour night images and a flexible field of view.

A large 1/1.8" sensor and a bright F1.2 lens capture sharp 8 MP (3840 x 2160) pictures, and the motorised varifocal lens lets you set the zoom and focus remotely from wide-angle to telephoto, so you frame a forecourt or reach down a long approach without touching the camera.

130 dB Wide Dynamic Range holds detail in high-contrast light, such as a bright entrance against a shaded wall.

ColorVu 3.0 with Smart Hybrid Light is what makes the night image work.

It blends a white supplement light and infrared, reaching up to 40 m, to keep full-colour images after dark rather than the black and white of an infrared-only camera, and you can choose between everyday colour, a discreet infrared mode or a smart mode that brings in white light when needed.

AcuSense deep learning runs on the camera, classifying people and vehicles and triggering perimeter rules such as line crossing and intrusion only on those targets, which cuts the false alarms that branches, rain and animals cause on a basic motion camera.

This model captures video rather than two-way audio: it has audio input and output connections for an external microphone but no built-in microphone or speaker, so add an external mic if you need sound, or choose the LIZS2UY variant for a built-in microphone.

It is a metal turret rated IP67 against dust and water, IK10 against impact and NEMA 4X against corrosion, so it suits coastal, industrial and public positions.

A microSD slot takes a card up to 512 GB and H.265+ keeps storage down.

It runs on PoE (802.3af) or 12 VDC.

Record it to a Hikvision AcuSense NVR so the people and vehicle events stay quick to search.

What the DS-2CD2H87G3-LIZSY 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-2CD2H87G3-LIZSY

Full colour at night

ColorVu 3.0 and Smart Hybrid Light hold full-colour images in the dark instead of black and white.

Frame it from anywhere

A motorised 2.8 to 12 mm zoom sets the field of view remotely, from a wide forecourt to a long approach.

Built for harsh sites

An IP67, IK10 and NEMA 4X turret suits coastal, industrial and public positions exposed to weather and tampering.

Fewer false alarms

AcuSense classifies people and vehicles, so alerts come from real targets, not weather and animals.

§ 05Where it fits

Right at home in these scenarios

Coastal and industrial sites

Use the NEMA 4X body where salt or pollution would attack a standard camera, with full colour at night.

Car parks and forecourts

Frame a wide area or zoom onto a bay, and keep colour detail of people and vehicles after dark.

Building entrances

Set the exact field of view over a door or gate and capture full-colour faces as visitors arrive.

Perimeters and approaches

Zoom in to read detail along a boundary and filter alerts to people and vehicles only.

§ 06Setup

Installation & setup

01

What's in the box

One DS-2CD2H87G3-LIZSY turret camera with a mounting template, fixings and a quick guide. The PoE switch or NVR, network cable, microSD card and any wall or pendant bracket are supplied separately.

02

Installation requirements

Mount it on a ceiling, wall, eave or soffit aimed along the area to cover and aim the lens with the three-axis gimbal. Run one network cable back to a PoE (802.3af) switch or NVR, or use 12 VDC, set the motorised zoom, the Smart Hybrid Light mode and the AcuSense rules in the software, and record it to a Hikvision AcuSense NVR. Avoid reflective surfaces directly in front of the lens so the light does not bounce back at night.

§ 07Questions

Frequently asked about the DS-2CD2H87G3-LIZSY

Q.01

Does the DS-2CD2H87G3-LIZSY record in colour at night?

Yes. It uses ColorVu 3.0 with Smart Hybrid Light, which brings in a white supplement light to hold full-colour images in the dark and can blend in infrared. That is different from an infrared-only camera, which shows black and white at night. You can also set a discreet infrared mode or a smart mode that lights up only when needed.
Q.02

What does the motorised lens do?

The 2.8 to 12 mm lens is powered, so you set the zoom and focus remotely from the software or NVR instead of adjusting it by hand. That makes it easy to frame a wide forecourt or reach down a long approach, and to fine-tune the view later without returning to the camera.
Q.03

Does it have a microphone or two-way audio?

This LIZSY model has audio input and output connections for an external microphone and speaker, but no built-in microphone or speaker, so it captures video rather than offering two-way talk-back on its own. If you need a built-in microphone, choose the LIZS2UY variant.
Q.04

How does AcuSense cut false alarms?

AcuSense classifies people and vehicles, so perimeter rules such as line crossing and intrusion alarm only on those targets. Moving branches, rain and animals are far less likely to trigger an alert than on a basic motion camera.
Q.05

Is it suitable for coastal or industrial sites?

Yes. It has an IP67 metal body with an IK10 impact rating and a NEMA 4X anti-corrosion rating, so it handles salt-affected, coastal-adjacent and industrial positions as well as everyday dust, rain and the risk of tampering.
Q.06

Can I mount it on a wall or a ceiling?

Yes. The turret form mounts on a ceiling, wall, eave or soffit, with three-axis adjustment to aim the lens correctly. A wall-mount or pendant bracket is available where you need to bring it out from a soffit or onto a pole.
Q.07

What power and recorder does it need?

It runs on PoE (802.3af) over one network cable, or on 12 VDC. Record it to a Hikvision AcuSense NVR so the people and vehicle events are stored and searchable; standard PoE is enough for this model.
Q.08

How much footage can it store on board?

It has a microSD slot that takes a card up to 512 GB for local recording or edge backup, which keeps footage on the camera if the network or recorder drops out.

§ 09Bundles

Recommended packages

01

Record and review it

Feed it to a Hikvision AcuSense recorder such as the 8-channel DS-7608NI-M2/8P, or the 16-channel DS-7616NI-M2/16P for larger sites. Add a surveillance-grade drive like the 8 TB for weeks of continuous footage.

02

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.

03

Mount and bring it out

A DS-1273ZJ-140 wall bracket brings the turret out from a soffit or onto a pole for a clear aim and a neat finish.
