Couldn't load pickup availability
Choose the DS-2CD2387G3-LI2UY when you need detailed 8MP coverage, colour-capable low-light imaging and recorded sound without a visible deterrent speaker. It suits homes and small commercial sites using a compatible Hikvision or ONVIF recorder. The 2.8 mm lens gives a wide view; this LI2UY version has microphones but no built-in speaker, strobe or alarm input/output.
Why choose this model
- 8MP (3840 × 2160) imaging provides more detail for wide scenes and digital review.

- Human and vehicle classification helps reduce less relevant motion alerts.
- F1.0 optics and 130 dB WDR help with low light and high-contrast entrances.
- Dual array microphones record sound; this model does not provide two-way audio.
- A microSD card up to 512 GB can provide compatible edge recording.
- The metal IP67 body has moderate NEMA 4X anti-corrosion protection.
