Hikvision DS-2CD2087G3-LI2UY-S-L–RB- Colorvu Singapore
Hikvision DS-2CD2087G3-LI2UY-S-L–RB- Colorvu Singapore | Advanced Day & Night Mini-Bullet Camera
Welcome to SGCCTV, your premier source for top-tier surveillance solutions in the region. We are thrilled to introduce you to a game-changing addition to our catalog: the Hikvision DS-2CD2087G3-LI2UY-S-L–RB-. This isn’t just another security camera; it is an advanced “mini-bullet” unit designed for environments where visibility at all times, day and night, is non-negotiable. As a retailer serving clients across the Singapore landscape, we understand that standard infrared cameras are often insufficient because prolonged exposure to sunlight causes their IR LEDs to fade or appear yellowish over time. The DS-2CD2087G3-LI2UY-S-L–RB-, however, utilizes Hikvision’s proprietary ColorVu technology, which allows it to capture full-color images in daylight without needing light sources and seamlessly switches to visible-light night vision when natural illumination drops.
This camera is a compact powerhouse, housing an 8-megapixel sensor inside a form factor that fits perfectly onto standard mounting brackets found on HDB void decks or condo balconies. For Singaporean businesses ranging from warehouse managers tracking inventory in the open yard to retail shop owners monitoring their storefronts during late-night hours, this device offers peace of mind through its IP67 weatherproof rating. It is built to withstand our tropical climate—high humidity and sudden downpours are no match for its rugged metal casing. By choosing SGCCTV as your supplier, you secure a product that not only meets international standards but also complies with local expectations regarding security reliability.
Key Features of the DS-2CD2087G3-LI2UY-S-L–RB-
- Hikvision ColorVu Technology: The standout feature is its ability to produce full-color video in low-light conditions. Unlike traditional cameras that switch to black and white infrared when it gets dark, this camera uses a visible light sensor array. This ensures that you can distinguish colors like red shirts or blue bags even during the first few minutes of twilight.
- Hybrid Sensor Design: To handle Singapore’s unique lighting conditions where sunlight is intense by day and moonlight is low at night, we have engineered a hybrid optical sensor. It seamlessly switches between color modes for broad daylight operation and visible-light mode when natural light diminishes below 0 Lux.
- Fine Detail Capture: With an impressive pixel count of up to 8 million pixels (4K HD), this camera provides crystal clear definition. This high resolution allows security personnel in Singapore to zoom into footage from a central monitoring room and still read text on vehicles or license plates with incredible clarity.
- Dual-Microphone Array: Security is not just about sight; it is also about sound. This model comes equipped with an arrayed dual-microphone system that effectively captures audio while filtering out wind noise—a common issue in our open-air environments—ensuring clear two-way communication.
- Premium Metal Construction: The body, front cover, and bracket are all constructed from metal materials. This industrial-grade build quality provides superior resistance against corrosion compared to plastic models, ensuring the camera maintains its structural integrity even after years of exposure to Singapore’s heavy monsoon rains and salty air near coastal areas.
- Built-in Speaker: Unlike many budget cameras that require external speakers for audio output, this unit features a built-in speaker with up to 10cm sound pressure level. This allows you to use the camera as an intercom system or issue warnings over loudspeakers directly from your NVR interface.
- Luxury Lighting Options: The “RB” suffix indicates that this specific unit comes equipped with a Red and Blue flashing light module, which is essential for compliance and deterrence. You can also select the SL model variant if you prefer White Light illumination without the red/blue warning signals.
- Motion Detection Intelligence: To reduce false alarms caused by swaying palm trees or flying pigeons (common in Singapore), this camera supports intelligent analysis algorithms that help distinguish between human motion and non-threatening background activity, keeping your NVR storage efficient.

Applications & Use Cases in Singapore
This versatile camera is designed to fit seamlessly into various security ecosystems found throughout the nation. For a typical HDB flat or Condo, this unit can be mounted on an exterior wall overlooking the void deck, providing 360-degree coverage because of its pan and tilt capabilities (though it functions best as a static bullet in most setups). It handles the bright midday sun perfectly without washing out colors.
In warehouses or factory settings within industrial estates like Jurong, where lighting conditions often change rapidly between day shifts and night guards, this camera ensures continuous monitoring of loading docks. The 8MP resolution helps in tracking movement across large areas effectively.
For the Retail Sector, shop owners can mount these outside their storefronts to monitor foot traffic and ensure that no suspicious loitering occurs at closing time. It acts as a deterrent for pickpockets who often operate during early morning hours before shops open, utilizing the red/blue lights.
Office Complexes with outdoor parking lots can install these units on lamp posts or ceiling mounts in covered areas to monitor vehicle entry and exit points without needing bulky equipment that blocks walkways. The compact design saves wall space which is often at a premium in Singapore urban planning standards.
Why Choose the DS-2CD2087G3-LI2UY-S-L–RB- for Singapore
Singapore presents unique challenges that standard security cameras struggle to overcome. The most significant issue is UV fading; if you use a camera with infrared LEDs, after two or three years of being pointed at the bright tropical sun, those IR lights will turn yellow and cease working properly in daylight mode. This specific model eliminates that problem entirely because it uses visible light throughout its operation cycle.
Furthermore, Singapore operates on 230V AC power with a high humidity environment that can cause condensation inside poorly sealed electronics. The IP67 rating ensures dust and water ingress are impossible issues here. We also strictly adhere to the PDPA (Personal Data Protection Act); our systems are configured securely so that sensitive footage is handled according to Singapore law, ensuring your business avoids legal pitfalls when storing surveillance data.
Installation Guide
The Hikvision DS-2CD2087G3-LI2UY-S-L–RB- simplifies installation through its PoE (Power over Ethernet) capabilities. You simply run a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable to the camera location, which provides both power and data transmission simultaneously. This is much more efficient than running separate AC cables for 12V DC models.
To configure the device, follow these steps: First, mount the provided metal bracket securely using your chosen screws (ensure you drill into concrete or steel beams in Singapore buildings as walls are often hollow blocks). Connect the cable to the RJ45 port. Ensure your NVR has a free channel available for this new camera IP address.
Finally, launch Hik-Connect on your mobile device if remote viewing is desired, though you will primarily use DMSS (Digital Multi-Screen System) or Dahua’s proprietary software depending on the ecosystem integration. The setup wizard allows you to set a static IP address which prevents network issues caused by router reboots.
Repair and Maintenance
Maintenance for this unit is minimal but essential for longevity, especially in Singapore where dust from construction sites can accumulate quickly on lenses. We recommend cleaning the lens cover with a microfiber cloth once every two weeks to prevent water spots from turning into scratches when you rinse it off during rain.
If the camera stops recording or loses color quality (e.g., turns yellow), check for firmware updates via Hik-Connect, as Hikvision releases patches regularly. Common issues include dropped frames due to weak Wi-Fi; however, this is a wired device so that shouldn’t happen unless your switch port is faulty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this camera suitable for outdoor rain in Singapore?
Absolutely. The DS-2CD2087G3-LI2UY-S-L–RB- carries an IP67 rating, which means it is dust-tight and can withstand continuous immersion or heavy water pressure from a hose.
How does the ColorVu feature compare to standard infrared lights?
The main difference lies in image quality. Standard IR cameras produce black-and-white images when light drops, often appearing grainy at night. This camera produces full color using visible light sensors even if natural sunlight isn’t strong enough for normal operation.

No, this unit supports PoE (Power over Ethernet). You only need one RJ45 network cable that plugs into your NVR or switch. This simplifies cabling significantly compared to 12V DC models which require two cables per camera.
Can I use my smartphone app with this?
Yes, you can view live feeds on Hik-Connect for Android and iOS devices. The interface is designed so that even non-experts can pan the screen to look around a property without needing technical support.
Is there an anti-flicker issue with this model?
This camera supports 50Hz or 60Hz frequency synchronization. In Singapore, where mains power is typically 50Hz (but sometimes fluctuates), you can configure the settings to match your environment so that moving vehicles don’t appear as “ghosts” in motion.
What happens if I lose internet connection?
The camera continues functioning locally. If connected, it connects directly to an NVR for recording without needing constant Wi-Fi or Internet access (depending on your configuration). However, cloud features like remote alerts will pause.
Is the lens adjustable after installation?
This is a fixed mini-bullet design. The focus and zoom are set at the factory to optimize for 3840×2160 resolution distance ranges. Once installed, do not touch the lens cover as it could crack; instead use software features like digital PTZ if you need remote panning.
Can I connect multiple cameras together?
You can daisy-chain PoE switches to manage power for dozens of units. Hikvision’s Omada ecosystem allows this, but strictly sticking to the NVR brand ensures zero compatibility issues regarding codecs (H.265+).
What is the warranty period offered?
We offer a standard 1-year manufacturer warranty on all units sold by SGCCTV.
