The Hikvision DS-2CD2087G3-LIY 2.8mm is the latest-generation 8MP G3 ColorVu bullet. Newer sensor, refined supplementary lighting, the absolute current best in Hikvision’s night-identification range. What we install when night-time clarity at the front gate is non-negotiable.

The latest-generation 8MP ColorVu, refined

The G2H ColorVu generation set the standard for full-colour night identification CCTV in South Africa. The G3 generation refines it. The Hikvision DS-2CD2087G3-LIY 2.8mm is the latest 8MP ColorVu bullet, with an updated sensor architecture, refined supplementary lighting management, and the kind of low-light colour rendering that makes a meaningful difference on the worst-lit gates and driveways.

Whether you choose this camera or the G2H generation comes down to a simple question: how much does the absolute best night-time identification quality matter at this specific position? For a front gate covering a busy street, where vehicle colour, clothing detail, and face identification at distance all matter every night, the G3 generation justifies its premium. For most residential positions, the previous generation remains an excellent choice.

What this camera is actually good at

  • 8MP / 4K resolution. Maximum pixel detail in the Hikvision residential bullet range.
  • Latest-generation ColorVu. Improved low-light colour fidelity over the G2H series, with refined sensor and processing for cleaner image at the lowest light levels.
  • Wide 2.8mm lens. 102° horizontal field of view. Whole-scene front-gate coverage from one mount.
  • Refined supplementary white light. Activates intelligently when ambient light drops too low for unaided ColorVu, with smoother transitions than the G2H generation.
  • Built-in microphone. Audio captured alongside video.
  • IP67 weather-sealed housing. Designed for full outdoor mounting in Highveld weather.
  • Smart-friendly H.265+ compression. Effective storage doubled versus older H.264 cameras.

Where this camera belongs on your property

  • Premium front-gate positions on larger homes where identification detail is the absolute priority
  • Estate access points requiring the cleanest possible vehicle and visitor identification
  • Commercial entries where night-time identification is operationally critical
  • Properties facing busy public roads where identifying passing activity matters as much as gate-side activity
  • High-value installations where the small premium over the previous generation is justified by the position

If you want to compare or step sideways

  • The DS-2CD2086G2H-I 2.8mm is the previous-generation G2H 8MP ColorVu. Still excellent, slightly less premium night performance, lower price point. The right call for most residential positions.
  • The DS-2CD2021G0-LIU 2.8mm is the 2MP basic alternative for supplementary positions where ColorVu-grade resolution is more than the position calls for.

This camera works cleanly with the DS-7616NXI-K2 16-channel NVR. As with all 8MP cameras, plan storage capacity accordingly: 2TB minimum for a multi-camera system including one or more 8MP units. Our home CCTV installation guide covers storage sizing for different package types.

Latest-generation hardware deserves latest-generation configuration

The G3 generation introduces refined ColorVu management, updated detection logic, and changes to the way supplementary lighting transitions are handled at the camera level. Getting the most from the camera means knowing those changes. We track Hikvision firmware and feature releases as part of our standard practice. Installation and configuration is available across Pretoria East, Centurion, Midrand, and Johannesburg.

Full 3-year Hikvision South Africa warranty through authorised distribution. Pricing on the CCTV installation prices page. For more on our specialist Hikvision approach, see our Hikvision CCTV page.
