Product Information

At the time of writing, the Hikvision EU and UK firmware portals don’t seem to have caught up with this model. The firmware has some rough edges, so there should be some updates out soon.

The ‘low illumination’ scene makes interesting changes to the image, but the default exposure of 1/6 could also mislead if not noticed.The huge Accusense blob at 50MB+ has meant that Hikvision have stripped out the ‘secondary partition self-repair and recovery’ facility as there just isn’t the needed space even in the 256MB flash memory. There is now a Face Capture facility, which is mutually exclusive with Smart Events for the VCA resource (image processing capacity). I’ve not yet tested this.

The default exposure time is 1/12 which might unreasonably accentuate low-light performance and create motion blur when used by unaware customers. A review wouldn’t be complete without some comparison images from other similar surveillance cameras. Being unfamiliar with Hikvision, there are quite a few settings that I don’t know what they mean and I may ask for an explanation in due course if that’s OK... So what I’ve done here is some sample snapshots from the 8MP DS-2CD2087G2-LU, the original 4MP IPC-T2347G-LU (DS-2CD2347G1-LU) and the 8MP IPC-T2385G-I (DS-2CD2385G-I).

There are a number of scale expansions to otherwise existing and familiar configuration settings that should help users to fine tune the camera for their use case. The Hikvision DS-2CD2347G1-LU is a 4MP turret camera from the new ColorVu range of cameras release in June 2019. This is an initial review of the interesting Hikvision DS-2CD2087G2-L(U) ColorVu 4K 8MP IP bullet camera, linked to the marketing terms ColorVu 2.0 and Accusense 2.0 The camera isn’t correctly reporting Smart Events to the NVR or management system. While VCA data is being passed over correctly, intrusion detection and line crossing detection are labelled as motion detection. This doesn’t seem to depend on the active codec. Tested via DS-7604NI-K1/4P with 3.4.103 firmware.
