The DS-2CD2387G2H-LIU delivers a maximum resolution of 3840 × 2160, which equals 8 megapixels. According to the datasheet, this 4K resolution allows the camera to capture fine details needed for identifying people, vehicles, and activities. The camera uses a 1/1.8" progressive scan CMOS sensor to maintain high image quality. This makes it suitable for evidence-level video recording in security applications.

Yes, the DS-2CD2387G2H-LIU uses ColorVu technology for 24/7 full-color imaging. The datasheet specifies a minimum illumination of 0.0008 lux in color mode with its F1.0 aperture lens. When ambient light is insufficient, the built-in white light allows color images even at 0 lux. This helps maintain color detail instead of switching to black-and-white at night.

Smart Hybrid Light combines infrared and white light illumination in one system. According to the datasheet, the camera can automatically switch between IR light and white light based on the environment and detected events. The illumination range is up to 40 meters. This helps ensure clear night images while reducing unnecessary light exposure.

Yes, the camera supports deep learning–based human and vehicle classification. The datasheet confirms that smart events such as line crossing, intrusion, and region entrance or exit can be triggered specifically by humans or vehicles. This reduces false alarms caused by animals, shadows, or weather. As a result, alerts are more accurate and useful.

Yes, the DS-2CD2387G2H-LIU includes a built-in microphone for audio recording. According to the datasheet, it supports multiple audio compression formats such as G.711, G.722.1, G.726, MP2L2, PCM, MP3, and AAC-LC. Environmental noise filtering is also supported to improve clarity. This allows synchronized audio and video capture where permitted.

Yes, the camera supports on-board storage. The datasheet states that it includes a built-in memory card slot supporting microSD, microSDHC, and microSDXC cards with capacities up to 512 GB. This allows video to be recorded directly on the camera without an NVR. Local storage can also serve as backup if the network connection fails.

The DS-2CD2387G2H-LIU is available with fixed focal lens options of 2.8 mm or 4 mm. According to the datasheet, the 2.8 mm lens provides a horizontal field of view of 108.8°, while the 4 mm lens provides 93.3°. Both lenses use an F1.0 aperture to maximize light intake. This allows flexibility depending on coverage requirements.

Yes, the camera is designed for outdoor environments. The datasheet lists an IP67 rating, indicating protection against dust and water ingress. It also supports operating temperatures from -30 °C to 60 °C (-22 °F to 140 °F). These specifications make it suitable for most outdoor security installations.

The camera supports modern and efficient video compression technologies. According to the datasheet, it supports H.265+, H.265, H.264+, H.264, and MJPEG. These formats help reduce bandwidth usage and storage requirements while maintaining image quality. This is especially useful for high-resolution and long-term recording.

The camera supports both 12 VDC power input and Power over Ethernet. According to the datasheet, it is compatible with IEEE 802.3af PoE, with a maximum power consumption of 8 W. It also supports 12 VDC ±25% with reverse polarity protection. This dual-power option provides flexibility during installation.
