Hikvision DS-2CD2787G2H-LIPTRZS2U/SL Product Overview
The Hikvision DS-2CD2787G2H-LIPTRZS2U/SL is an 8MP motorised PTRZ varifocal dome network camera designed for installations that need detailed 4K video, dependable colour imaging and remote optical adjustment. Its 1/1.8-inch progressive-scan CMOS sensor records up to 3840 × 2160, while the 2.8–12mm motorised lens lets the installer adjust the viewing angle without repeatedly opening or manually repositioning the dome.
ColorVu and Smart Hybrid Light give the camera a choice of infrared, white-light and intelligent combined-light operation. The camera also includes deep-learning human and vehicle classification, 130dB wide dynamic range, dual-array microphones, a built-in speaker and the /SL model's active white strobe and audible warning functions. The metal housing is rated IP66 against water and dust and IK10 against impact.
Key Benefits
-
4K evidence detail: records at up to 3840 × 2160 for clear live viewing and playback.
-
Remote PTRZ setup: motorised pan, tilt, rotation and zoom reduce the need to reopen the dome during commissioning or later adjustments.
-
Flexible night operation: infrared, white light and Smart Hybrid Light modes support different monitoring and deterrence requirements.
-
Colour-focused low-light imaging: ColorVu, an F1.2 maximum aperture and 0.0028-lux colour sensitivity help retain useful colour information in difficult lighting.
-
Better backlight handling: 130dB WDR improves detail where bright and dark areas appear in the same scene.
-
Target classification: deep-learning analytics can distinguish human and vehicle targets for supported perimeter events.
-
Active deterrence: the /SL version can combine a white strobe with an audible warning when configured to respond to an event.
-
Outdoor and impact protection: IP66 and IK10 ratings support exposed and vandal-prone installations.

Detection, Audio and Deterrence
The camera supports perimeter events including line crossing, intrusion, region entrance and region exit. Where the selected event supports target filtering, it can classify people and vehicles to reduce alerts caused by unrelated movement. The /SL hardware also provides a white strobe and audible warning that can be linked to supported events.
Dual-array microphones capture audio at the camera, while the built-in speaker enables two-way communication and warning playback. Audio and alarm interfaces are also available for compatible external devices.
Installation and Compatibility
Remote PTRZ adjustment is intended to simplify installation and future maintenance. Lens direction and zoom can be adjusted through supported Hikvision software or a compatible recorder rather than repeatedly removing the dome cover. The camera connects through a 10/100Mbps Ethernet interface and can be powered from a suitable IEEE 802.3at PoE+ source or a correctly rated 12V DC supply.
For third-party integration, the camera supports ONVIF Profiles S, G and T. Confirm that the recorder, PoE budget, storage card, audio/alarm accessories and mounting hardware support this exact model and firmware before ordering.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum video resolution?
The maximum resolution is 3840 × 2160, commonly described as 8MP or 4K.
What does PTRZ mean?
PTRZ refers to motorised pan, tilt, rotation and zoom adjustment. It allows the installer to refine the camera angle and focal length remotely after mounting.
Does this model provide colour images at night?
It uses ColorVu together with infrared, white-light and Smart Hybrid Light modes. The result depends on scene lighting and the selected supplement-light configuration.
How far does the built-in light reach?
The manufacturer specifies a supplement-light range of up to 40 metres. Actual usable distance depends on the scene, reflectivity, mounting and settings.
Does it have active deterrence?
Yes. The /SL model includes a white strobe and audible warning that can be linked to supported events.
Can it distinguish people and vehicles?
Yes. It supports deep-learning human and vehicle classification for compatible perimeter-protection events.
Does it record to a memory card?
Yes. The built-in slot supports compatible microSD, microSDHC and microSDXC cards up to 512GB. A memory card is normally supplied separately.
Can it be powered by PoE?
Yes. It supports IEEE 802.3at PoE+, Class 4, or a correctly rated 12V DC supply.
Is it suitable for outdoor installation?
The metal housing is rated IP66 for water and dust resistance and IK10 for impact resistance. Installation should still follow Hikvision's sealing and environmental guidance.
Will it work with a third-party NVR?
The camera supports ONVIF Profiles S, G and T, but recorder compatibility, analytics and audio functions should be confirmed before purchase.
