The DS-2CD2087G2-LU is an 8MP ColorVu bullet camera designed for commercial outdoor surveillance applications that require detailed full-color video, intelligent target detection, and reliable perimeter monitoring.
With a 2.8 mm wide-angle lens, the camera provides broad scene coverage for warehouse entrances, parking access points, loading areas, building exteriors, and business property perimeters. Its 8MP Ultra HD resolution, 1/1.2-inch image sensor, and F1.0 aperture support 24/7 color imaging, while white light illumination helps maintain visibility in low-light environments.
Deep learning-based human and vehicle classification helps improve event accuracy by focusing supported alerts on relevant targets. The camera also supports line crossing, intrusion, region entrance, and region exit detection for more efficient commercial monitoring.
The built-in microphone enables synchronized audio recording, while 130 dB WDR, BLC, HLC, and 3D DNR improve image quality in challenging lighting conditions. With H.265+ compression, onboard microSD storage up to 512 GB, PoE support, ONVIF compatibility, and an IP67-rated metal housing, the DS-2CD2087G2-LU is built for professional outdoor security deployments.
