The DS-2CD2387G2P-LSU/SL is an 8MP ColorVu panoramic turret camera designed for wide commercial areas that require 180° coverage, full-color nighttime imaging, two-way audio, and active warning functions.
Its dual 4 mm fixed-lens design captures an approximately 180° horizontal view, supporting broad coverage of parking areas, loading zones, entrances, yards, and building approaches.
ColorVu technology and F1.0 optics support full-color low-light imaging, while white light provides nighttime illumination up to 40 meters. Human and vehicle classification helps focus supported events on relevant targets.
The camera includes a built-in microphone and speaker, Audio I/O, alarm input and output, strobe light, audible warning, microSD storage up to 512 GB, IEEE 802.3af PoE, and IP67 weather protection.

Find answers to common questions about compatibility, installation, infrared night vision, recording storage, and AcuSense human and vehicle classification.
Is this 8MP Panoramic ColorVu camera compatible with H-Series NVR systems?
Yes. The camera is designed to work with H-Series NVR systems and supports advanced recording, event management, remote monitoring, and playback. It also supports ONVIF Profile S, G, and T, making it compatible with many third-party video management systems.
What makes the panoramic design different from a standard security camera?
This camera uses dual 4 mm lenses to create a single 180° panoramic image, allowing it to monitor a much wider area than a traditional fixed camera. It's a practical choice for storefronts, parking lots, building entrances, warehouses, and other open spaces where fewer cameras can provide broader coverage.
Can the camera record in full color at night?
Yes. ColorVu technology uses an F1.0 large-aperture lens and built-in white light to capture full-color video around the clock. This helps preserve important details such as clothing colors, vehicle colors, and other visual evidence that may be difficult to identify with standard infrared cameras.
Does the camera support AI human and vehicle detection?
Yes. Deep-learning analytics focus on identifying people and vehicles instead of general motion. This helps reduce unnecessary alerts caused by rain, moving trees, animals, or other environmental activity while making security notifications more relevant.
How does the active strobe light and audio alarm work?
When a verified security event is triggered, the camera can activate its built-in flashing strobe light and audible alarm to help discourage unwanted activity. These deterrence features can also be linked to recording, alarm outputs, email notifications, and other automated responses.
Can I connect this camera to a third-party NVR or VMS?
Yes. The camera supports ONVIF Profile S, Profile G, and Profile T, along with ISAPI and SDK integration. This allows it to work with many compatible NVRs, video management systems, and professional surveillance platforms.
Does the camera support local recording?
Yes. A built-in microSD card slot supports cards up to 512GB for local recording. The camera also supports network storage through compatible NVRs and NAS devices, providing flexible options for video retention.
Does this camera support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes. The camera supports IEEE 802.3af PoE, allowing both power and network connectivity through a single Ethernet cable. This simplifies installation, reduces cable runs, and is especially useful for outdoor or ceiling-mounted deployments.
Is this camera suitable for outdoor installation?
Yes. The camera is rated IP67 for protection against rain, dust, and harsh weather conditions. Its metal housing is designed for reliable outdoor operation, making it a good fit for commercial buildings, parking areas, warehouses, schools, and residential properties.
What types of properties is this panoramic camera best suited for?
The 180° panoramic field of view makes this camera well suited for retail storefronts, office entrances, parking lots, apartment complexes, warehouses, schools, and other locations where monitoring a wide area with fewer cameras can simplify installation and improve overall coverage.
