Built for commercial sites that need high-resolution color video after dark, the DS-2CD2387G2-LU combines 8MP ColorVu imaging, deep learning-based human and vehicle classification, built-in audio recording, and a durable fixed turret design.
The 1/1.2-inch image sensor and F1.0 aperture support 24/7 color imaging with white light illumination up to 30 meters. This helps preserve useful visual details such as clothing color, vehicle color, and activity context around storefronts, parking entrances, loading areas, and exterior access points.
Human and vehicle classification supports more relevant motion and perimeter events, including line crossing, intrusion, region entrance, and region exit detection. The camera also supports face capture and 130 dB WDR for improved image visibility in scenes with strong backlight or deep shadows.
The DS-2CD2387G2-LU includes a built-in microphone, onboard microSD storage up to 256 GB, H.265+ compression, IEEE 802.3af PoE, ONVIF Profile S/G/T compatibility, and an IP67-rated metal housing for professional commercial surveillance deployments.
