Colour at night.
Active deterrence on demand.
The Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL is an 8 MP 4K fixed turret that keeps full colour through the night using Smart Hybrid Light (IR + warm white), then escalates to a strobe-and-siren warning the moment AcuSense detects a human or vehicle. Built for Australian driveways, warehouse perimeters and retail frontage.
Product shot may differ from the actual product.
This is a STANDALONE 4K IP CAMERA — it is a complete camera by itself, but most installs pair it with a PoE NVR or PoE switch.
The DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL will operate standalone — point it at the network, power via PoE or 12 VDC and configure via web browser or iVMS-4200. Most professional installs record to a Hikvision PoE NVR or a third-party ONVIF-compatible VMS.

Professional-grade 4K, without the professional-grade complexity.
Hikvision built the G2H range to cover the 95 % of Australian residential and small-commercial surveillance installs where the customer wants 4K resolution, AI detection and a camera that simply works — without stepping up to a Ultra‑series budget.

CLARITY · 01
Smart Hybrid Light. Colour that doesn’t quit at dusk.
The DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL combines ColorVu F1.0 optics with a Smart Hybrid IR + warm-white LED array. By default the camera stays in low-draw IR mode and preserves 24/7 colour detail down to 0.0008 lux; when AcuSense sees a target it can switch in warm light to lock the scene in true colour and activate the built-in strobe.
Every frame is captured at 3840 × 2160 at 25 fps with H.265+ compression and 130 dB True-WDR — the colour performance and detail level Australian regulators, insurers and investigators actually ask for.
DETECTION · 02
AcuSense G2 + LiveGuard. AI that sees, warns and records.
Onboard AcuSense 2.0 runs deep-learning classification directly on the camera — it separates humans and vehicles from wind, rain, branches and stray wildlife. When a genuine target crosses a line, enters a region or loiters, the camera triggers a LiveGuard response: the built-in 1.2 W / 95 dB speaker plays an audible warning while the white-light LEDs strobe.
Line-crossing, intrusion, region entrance and region exiting all honour the target filter. Every event can trigger strobe + siren locally and notify your NVR, Hik-Connect push alerts, email, or a third-party alarm input.
BUILD · 03
IP67 turret built for Australian sun, salt and storms.
Metal body, ingress-protected to IP67 (IEC 60529-2013), rated for −30 °C to 60 °C operation. Ethernet cabling runs through a sealed cable gland and the 3-axis mount gives Pan 0–360°, Tilt 0–75° and Rotate 0–360° for awkward eaves and soffits.
Single-cable PoE (IEEE 802.3af Class 3) powers the camera, the speaker, the white-light strobe and the alarm relays up to a 10.5 W budget — no local 240 V and no spur transformer in the mount.
How it works
From PoE to 4K recording in four steps.
01
Power over Ethernet
Run a single Cat 6 cable from the camera to any 802.3af PoE switch or NVR port.
02
Discover + activate
iVMS-4200, SADP or the NVR auto-discovers the camera on the LAN; set the admin password and assign an IP.
03
Tune AcuSense
Draw line-crossing, intrusion or region rules, enable human/vehicle filter, set event linkages.
04
Record & view
Record to NVR, NAS or microSD with ANR; view live via Hik-Connect app, iVMS-4200 or any ONVIF client.

Answers
Frequently asked questions
Will this camera work with my existing non-Hikvision NVR?
Yes, via ONVIF Profile S/G/T and ISAPI. Most current-generation Dahua, Uniview, Milestone and Synology Surveillance Station deployments accept 4K H.265+ from this camera. For AcuSense event push on a non-Hikvision platform, verify your NVR supports Hikvision ISAPI event posting first.
How do I power it — PoE or 12 V DC?
Either. A standard 802.3af PoE switch or NVR PoE port supplies power and data on one cable. Alternatively a 12 VDC adapter in a GPO powers the camera and you run Ethernet separately. PoE is the professional default.
Does it need a subscription to work?
No. The Hik-Connect app and cloud service is free. AcuSense runs locally on the camera — it does not require a cloud AI subscription. Optional paid cloud storage is available but not required.
What microSD card should I use?
An endurance-graded surveillance microSD (WD Purple or Hikvision HS-TF-L2I) up to 512 GB. Consumer microSD cards will wear out within months of 24/7 surveillance write.
Is it compatible with Google Home or Amazon Alexa?
Hik-Connect on iOS and Android is the primary interface. Amazon Alexa voice control and Google Home view-casting are supported via Hik-Connect. Direct IFTTT or smart-home bridge scenes are not officially supported.
Can I run this over Wi-Fi?
No — this is a wired-Ethernet camera. For Wi-Fi, choose a Hikvision ezviz or DS-2CV camera variant. Wired is the professional choice for 4K AcuSense: 802.3af PoE over Cat 6 delivers reliable power and enough bandwidth for triple-stream 4K.
Will the white strobe annoy neighbours or confuse tradespeople?
You choose when it triggers. By default the Smart Hybrid Light stays in IR mode; the white-light strobe and speaker only fire on AcuSense events (e.g. human crossing a defined line at night). You can schedule, disable, or limit the deterrence response to specific times and specific rules.
Is this the same camera as the DS-2CD2387G2-LSU/SL (no H)?
No. The “H” G2H revision upgrades to F1.0 optics and Smart Hybrid Light (IR + warm-white hybrid) for improved low-light performance. It is a newer generation.

Installation & safety notice
Low-voltage product (SELV). The DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL is a 12 VDC / IEEE 802.3af PoE IP camera. There is no mains wiring inside the device. A standard plug-in 12 V DC adapter in an existing GPO is fine to use as-is, or the camera can be powered directly off a PoE switch or PoE NVR port — no electrician is required to power the unit.
When a licensed tradesperson is required. Concealed structured data cabling between the camera, the PoE switch/NVR and any remote rack or ceiling run is customer cabling under AS/CA S009 and must be performed by an ACMA-registered cabler. New GPOs, rack mains or any modification to the premises wiring is the job of a licensed electrician under AS/NZS 3000 Wiring Rules.
Specifications & imagery in good faith. Specifications, firmware features and published imagery can change without notice at Hikvision’s discretion. Verify the current datasheet (attached) for your firmware revision before ordering. Product appearance and packaging may differ from marketing images.
By placing an order you confirm the product is fit for your intended use and that any concealed cabling or third-party integration will be performed by an appropriately licensed tradesperson. Infront Technologies does not accept liability for incorrect site preparation or misuse outside the manufacturer’s specifications.
