Hikvision DS-2XS6A87G1-LS/4G: 4K ColorVu 4G bullet
By Namra Shah · Cabling For U · Auckland · Updated October 2026
A 4K ColorVu bullet with an F1.0 lens, 30 m white light and a built-in 4G modem, made for sites without mains internet. It is designed for low-power use and stores footage on its own 64 GB of memory plus a microSD card.
Short answer: Use it on building sites, farms, remote gates and sheds with no internet. On its own it needs 12 V power; for no power at all, Hikvision sells it as a solar kit (part DS-2XS6A87G1-LS/C36S80).

Where it fits, and where it does not
Works best for
- Building sites and remote yards with no internet
- Farm gates, sheds and pump stations
- Temporary sites
Choose something else if
- Sites with fibre and power already: a standard PoE camera is simpler
- Areas with poor 4G coverage: we check signal first
Installing it properly
We check 4G signal at the exact mounting point, size the SIM data plan, and either run 12 V power or fit Hikvision's solar kit. Ownership of the SIM and app account stays with you.
Every camera we fit is cabled to AS/NZS 3080, tested, labelled and set up on your recorder and the Hik-Connect app, with a 12-month workmanship warranty. Your recorder and app passwords stay with you.
Thinking about this camera?
We look at the site, check it is the right model for each position, and give you a fixed written quote within 24 hours. Hikvision is our go-to CCTV range.
