Description

Hikvision DS-2CD2187G2-LSU 8MP ColorVu Outdoor Dome IP Camera

The Hikvision DS-2CD2187G2-LSU is a professional-grade 8MP outdoor dome camera engineered to deliver exceptional color imagery around the clock. Featuring Hikvision's advanced ColorVu technology, this camera captures vivid, full-color video in ultra-low light environments—from twilight to near-total darkness—eliminating the grayscale limitations of traditional infrared night vision. With an ultra-wide horizontal field of view of 109° and a large 1/1.8" progressive scan CMOS sensor, the DS-2CD2187G2-LSU is built for comprehensive surveillance of commercial properties, retail spaces, parking facilities, and perimeter security.

Key Features

  • 24/7 Color Imaging: ColorVu technology ensures full-color video in extreme low-light conditions (0.0008 Lux at F1.0 with AGC) and 0 Lux with intelligent white-light supplementation
  • 8MP High Resolution: 3840 × 2160 native resolution at 30 fps delivers fine detail for identification and forensic analysis
  • Smart Supplemental Lighting: Adaptive white-light LED up to 30 meters, triggered intelligently based on scene conditions
  • Advanced AI Detection: Built-in human and vehicle classification reduces false alarms and improves incident response
  • Wide Dynamic Range: 130 dB WDR handles mixed lighting from sunlit and shadowed areas simultaneously
  • Flexible Lens Options: Available in 2.8mm (109° horizontal FOV) or 4mm (93° horizontal FOV) for customized coverage
  • Multiple Detection Modes: Line crossing, intrusion, region entrance/exit, and scene change detection with configurable alarms
  • Durable Construction: IP67 weatherproof and IK10 vandal-resistant dome housing rated for extreme outdoor environments
  • Face Capture Capability: Integrated face detection and capture for identity-based security workflows

Technical Specifications

Optical & Imaging: F1.0 fixed aperture with motorized pan/tilt (0–355°/0–75°) and rotate (0–355°) adjustment. Image enhancement includes 3D DNR, BLC, HLC, and adjustable saturation, brightness, contrast, and sharpness. Supports 4-region privacy masking and Region of Interest (ROI) encoding.

Video & Compression: Triple-stream architecture with H.265+/H.265/H.264+ encoding at variable bit rates (32 Kbps–16 Mbps). SVC (Scalable Video Coding) support enables bandwidth optimization without quality loss. Sub-stream and third-stream options for bandwidth-constrained networks.

Audio & Alarm: Built-in microphone with line-in/line-out audio I/O supporting G.711, G.722.1, G.726, MP3, and AAC-LC compression. Includes 1 alarm input and 1 output (max. 12 VDC, 30 mA) with environment noise filtering.

Networking & Storage: Gigabit Ethernet with support for TCP/IP, HTTPS encryption, 802.1X authentication, NTP, SNMP, and UPnP. Up to 6 simultaneous live-view channels. Integrated microSD card slot (up to 512 GB) with Auto Network Replenishment (ANR). NAS support via NFS and SMB/CIFS. Compatible with Hikvision iVMS-4200, iVMS-5200, and Hik-Connect platforms.

Power & Physical: PoE IEEE 802.3af Class 3 (max. 8.5 W) or 12 VDC 0.6A. Operating and storage range: −30 °C to 60 °C. Compact dome measures Ø121.5 × 97.6 mm and weighs approximately 540g.

The DS-2CD2187G2-LSU represents a mature solution in the ColorVu category, addressing a critical surveillance gap where traditional IR cameras fail—color context. The 0.0008 Lux sensitivity with F1.0 optics and intelligent light adaptation makes this camera effective across dramatic lighting transitions, common in retail, industrial, and critical infrastructure settings. The inclusion of three independent streams and SVC encoding enables simultaneous high-resolution recording and lower-bandwidth remote viewing, essential for organizations with diverse bandwidth constraints.

AI-driven target classification (human vs. vehicle) significantly reduces operational workload by filtering motion events. The 109° horizontal FOV minimizes blind spots in confined spaces while the optional 4mm lens provides extended recognition distance (up to 102 meters DORI). IP67/IK10 ratings ensure long-term outdoor durability without frequent maintenance.

For organizations requiring 24/7 color evidence, advanced analytics, and reliable performance in mixed-lighting environments, this camera delivers enterprise-class surveillance without premium pricing.
