The DS-2CD2387G2-LSU/SL delivers a maximum resolution of 3840 × 2160, which equals 8 megapixels. According to the datasheet, this allows the camera to capture highly detailed 4K images suitable for identifying people, vehicles, and fine scene details. It uses a 1/1.2" progressive scan CMOS sensor to achieve this image quality. This makes it well suited for areas where clarity and evidence-level detail are important. 

Yes, this model is designed for 24/7 full-color imaging. The datasheet states that it uses Hikvision ColorVu technology with an F1.0 super-aperture lens and a high-performance sensor. It can capture color images in extremely low light down to 0.0005 lux, and even at 0 lux when the built-in white light is active. This allows consistent color detail day and night instead of switching to black-and-white. 

Yes, the camera includes active deterrence capabilities. According to the datasheet, it features a built-in strobe light and an audible warning to help warn intruders off. These deterrents can be triggered by events such as human or vehicle detection. This allows the camera to respond visibly and audibly to potential threats in real time. 

Yes, the DS-2CD2387G2-LSU/SL supports real-time two-way audio. The datasheet confirms it includes a built-in microphone and a built-in speaker rated at 1.5 W with up to 95 dB at 10 cm. It also provides audio input and output interfaces for external audio devices. This allows users to listen and speak through the camera when needed. 

The camera supports advanced smart event detection powered by deep learning. According to the datasheet, it supports human and vehicle classification for motion detection, line crossing detection, intrusion detection, region entrance, and region exiting. This helps reduce false alarms caused by non-relevant motion. It also supports face capture as part of its deep learning functions. 

Yes, this camera is designed for outdoor installations. The datasheet lists an IP67 rating, meaning it is protected 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 standard outdoor environments when installed properly. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

The DS-2CD2387G2-LSU/SL 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 102°, while the 4 mm lens provides 88°. Both lenses use an F1.0 aperture to maximize light intake. This allows flexibility depending on whether wider coverage or a more focused view is needed

Yes, the camera includes a built-in memory card slot. The datasheet specifies support for microSD, microSDHC, microSDXC, or TF cards with capacities up to 512 GB. This allows video to be stored directly on the camera without an NVR. Local storage can also be used as backup recording if network storage is unavailable.

The DS-2CD2387G2-LSU/SL supports several efficient video compression formats. According to the datasheet, the main stream supports H.265, H.264, H.264+, and H.265+, while the sub-stream supports H.265, H.264, and MJPEG. These formats help reduce bandwidth usage and storage requirements. This is especially useful for long-term or high-resolution recording. 

The camera supports both 12 VDC power and Power over Ethernet (PoE). The datasheet lists compatibility with IEEE 802.3af PoE, Class 3, with a maximum power consumption of 8.5 W. It also supports 12 VDC ±25% with reverse polarity protection. This dual-power option provides flexibility for different installation scenarios.
