For larger commercial entrances and exterior areas where additional image detail is important, the DS-2CD2387G2-LSU/SL combines 8MP ColorVu imaging with human and vehicle classification, active visual and audible warnings, and built-in two-way audio.
The 1/1.2-inch image sensor, F1.0 aperture, and white light illumination support 24/7 color imaging in low-light environments. With illumination up to 30 meters, the camera can preserve useful color information around storefronts, parking entrances, service yards, vehicle gates, and other areas monitored after dark.
Deep learning-based human and vehicle classification supports more relevant perimeter events, including line crossing, intrusion, region entrance, and region exit detection. When configured with supported events, the built-in strobe light and audible warning can provide an immediate on-site response, while the microphone and speaker allow real-time communication through compatible surveillance platforms.
The camera also includes 130 dB WDR for challenging backlit scenes, onboard microSD storage up to 512 GB, Audio I/O, alarm input and output, H.265+ compression, PoE support, ONVIF Profile S/G/T compatibility, and an IP67-rated metal housing for professional outdoor installations.

Find answers to common questions about compatibility, installation, infrared night vision, recording storage, and AcuSense human and vehicle classification.
Where is the DS-2CD2387G2-LSU/SL commonly installed?
The DS-2CD2387G2-LSU/SL is commonly installed at large storefront entrances, warehouse vehicle gates, distribution center yards, commercial parking entrances, apartment gates, industrial access points, and other outdoor areas requiring detailed after-hours monitoring.
Is this camera suitable for monitoring wide commercial entrances after dark?
Yes. Its 8MP resolution, 1/1.2-inch sensor, F1.0 aperture, and white light illumination support detailed full-color monitoring across entrances and exterior access areas in low-light conditions.
Can this camera be used at warehouse gates and service yards?
Yes. Human and vehicle classification, active warning functions, two-way audio, and IP67 protection make it suitable for warehouse gates, loading approaches, service yards, and controlled vehicle access areas.
What types of organizations may benefit from this model?
Warehouses, distribution centers, retail properties, apartment communities, office campuses, industrial facilities, commercial property managers, and multi-site businesses may use this model for proactive outdoor monitoring.
When should a buyer choose this 8MP model instead of a lower-resolution active deterrence camera?
The 8MP model is appropriate when additional image detail is needed across larger entrances, wider exterior scenes, vehicle access points, or other areas where operators may need to review more visual information.
How does ColorVu support nighttime monitoring?
ColorVu combines a large 1/1.2-inch sensor, an F1.0 aperture, and white light illumination to help maintain color video and preserve useful scene details in low-light environments.
How do the active deterrence and two-way audio features work together?
The strobe light and audible warning can provide an on-site response to configured events, while the built-in microphone and speaker allow authorized users to listen and communicate through compatible surveillance platforms.
Does the DS-2CD2387G2-LSU/SL support local recording and PoE?
Yes. The built-in memory card slot supports microSD, microSDHC, and microSDXC cards up to 512 GB, and the camera supports IEEE 802.3af PoE.
Can this camera integrate with professional surveillance and alarm systems?
Yes. It supports ONVIF Profile S, Profile G, and Profile T, along with Audio I/O, one alarm input, and one alarm output for compatible system integration.
What is the maximum video resolution of the DS-2CD2387G2-LSU/SL?
The camera supports a maximum resolution of 3840 × 2160, delivering 8MP 4K UHD video.
