Frequently Asked Questions

Does the DS-2CD2387G2-LU-BL record in full 8MP / 4K resolution?

Yes. The DS-2CD2387G2-L(U) series is an 8 MP camera family, and the datasheet lists a maximum resolution of 3840 × 2160. It also supports up to 25 fps at 3840 × 2160 in 50 Hz mode and up to 24 fps at 3840 × 2160 in 60 Hz mode. That matters because buyers usually ask this when they want sharper evidence, clearer faces, and better vehicle detail instead of footage that loses value when you zoom in. 

Is this a true ColorVu camera with color video at night?

Yes. Hikvision describes this model family as a ColorVu camera with 24/7 colorful imaging, and the datasheet lists a minimum illumination of 0.0005 Lux at F1.0 with AGC on. It also includes white light support up to 30 m, which helps the camera maintain usable color images in darker scenes. For buyers, that means more visual context at night instead of quickly falling back to lower-information black-and-white footage. 

Does the -LU version have a built-in microphone?

Yes. The datasheet specifically states “Built-in Microphone -LU: Yes,” and Hikvision’s product page also highlights built-in microphone support for real-time audio security on the -U variant. The audio section also lists supported sampling rates, compression formats, and bit rates for the -U version. That is useful when buyers want added audio context around entrances, customer interactions, or incidents where sound helps explain what happened.

What lens options are available for the DS-2CD2387G2-LU-BL?

The uploaded datasheet lists two fixed focal options: 2.8 mm and 4 mm. The 2.8 mm version provides a wider horizontal field of view at 102°, while the 4 mm version narrows that to 88° for a more focused view. That matters because buyers usually choose 2.8 mm for broader scene coverage and 4 mm when they want tighter framing on a driveway, doorway, or approach path. The black finish variant is commonly listed as the same core model family in a black housing. 

Can this camera tell the difference between people and vehicles?

Yes. Hikvision highlights human and vehicle target classification based on deep learning for this model family. The datasheet also says motion detection, line crossing, intrusion, region entrance, and region exiting can all support alarm triggering by specified target types, including human and vehicle. For buyers, this helps reduce less useful alerts and makes the camera more practical when the goal is to focus on meaningful activity instead of every bit of motion in the scene.

How far does the built-in white light reach?

The datasheet lists white light as the supplement light type and gives the supplement light range as up to 30 m. It also says smart supplement light is supported. That matters because buyers often want to know whether the camera can help keep nighttime scenes visible without depending entirely on separate external lighting. In practical terms, it is a helpful feature for entrances, walkways, parking areas, and building edges. 

Does the camera support onboard recording to a memory card?

Yes. The datasheet says the camera has a built-in memory card slot supporting microSD, SDHC, SDXC, and TF cards up to 512 GB. It also supports NAS storage and ANR, which gives more flexibility for local recording, backup recording, or mixed storage setups. That matters because some buyers want the camera to keep recording even if the network recorder is unavailable or the site prefers edge storage. 

Is the DS-2CD2387G2-LU-BL weatherproof for outdoor use?

Yes. Hikvision lists the camera as water and dust resistant with an IP67 rating, and the datasheet gives operating conditions of -30 °C to 60 °C with humidity up to 95% non-condensing. That makes it suitable for normal outdoor use where rain, dust, and temperature swings are part of the environment. The one limitation worth noting is that the datasheet also says this model has no specific anti-corrosion protection, so highly corrosive coastal or chemical environments may need a different class of camera.

Does it support PoE, or do I need a separate power supply?

It supports both. For the -LU version, the datasheet lists 12 VDC power and also PoE under IEEE 802.3af, with maximum power consumption up to 6.5 W over PoE. That matters because many buyers want one-cable installation for cleaner setup and easier expansion. In most everyday installs, PoE makes deployment simpler while still leaving a DC option available where needed. 

What mounting accessories are available for this camera?

The uploaded datasheet lists several optional accessories for this model family. These include the DS-1273ZJ-140 wall mount, DS-1276ZJ-SUS corner mount, DS-1280ZJ-PT6 junction box, DS-1275ZJ-SUS vertical pole mount, DS-1271ZJ-140 pendant mount, and DS-1273ZJ-140B wall mount. That helps buyers plan the installation more confidently when the camera needs to be mounted on a wall, pole, corner, or junction box instead of directly on a flat surface.

These question topics were chosen from the recurring concerns emphasized on Hikvision’s official DS-2CD2387G2-LU product pages and current retailer listings, especially 4K resolution, ColorVu night performance, built-in microphone support, lens choice, smart human/vehicle filtering, white light range, storage, IP67 weather protection, PoE, and mounting options.
