Verdict
Hikvision DS-2CD2T87G2P-LSU/SL captures more pixel detail (7.4 MP vs 6.3 MP), useful for license-plate or face identification at distance. Hikvision DS-2CD2T87G2P-LSU/SL reaches further (40 m vs 20 m) — better for perimeter and parking-lot wide shots. Dahua HAC-PFW3601P-A180 has stronger IR illumination (20 m vs 0 m) — better for unlit corridors and night perimeter. Hikvision DS-2CD2T87G2P-LSU/SL ships a low-light / ColorVu sensor — better in mixed-light retail or city-street scenes.
Frequently asked questions
Is Hikvision DS-2CD2T87G2P-LSU/SL better than Dahua HAC-PFW3601P-A180?
Hikvision DS-2CD2T87G2P-LSU/SL captures more pixel detail (7.4 MP vs 6.3 MP), useful for license-plate or face identification at distance. Hikvision DS-2CD2T87G2P-LSU/SL reaches further (40 m vs 20 m) — better for perimeter and parking-lot wide shots. Dahua HAC-PFW3601P-A180 has stronger IR illumination (20 m vs 0 m) — better for unlit corridors and night perimeter. Hikvision DS-2CD2T87G2P-LSU/SL ships a low-light / ColorVu sensor — better in mixed-light retail or city-street scenes. For installation-specific advice — mounting height, tilt, obstacle shadowing, BOM and PoE budget — drop both cameras into TodAidesign and the FOV cones, DORI rings (per EN 62676-4) and cable schedule render in real time on a satellite map or imported floor plan.
What is the field of view of Hikvision DS-2CD2T87G2P-LSU/SL vs Dahua HAC-PFW3601P-A180?
Hikvision DS-2CD2T87G2P-LSU/SL has a 180° horizontal FOV at 2x4mm. Dahua HAC-PFW3601P-A180 has a 180° horizontal FOV at 2.8mm. Both cover the same angular scene; the FOV calculator on TodAidesign converts these into linear meters of coverage at any chosen target distance.
Which camera has stronger IR illumination?
Dahua HAC-PFW3601P-A180 reaches 20 m of IR illumination versus no IR for Hikvision DS-2CD2T87G2P-LSU/SL. The further-reaching IR camera is the better fit for unlit yards, parking perimeters and warehouses without permanent lighting.
Can I plan a project mixing Hikvision and Dahua cameras?
Yes. TodAidesign is multi-vendor by design — drop Hikvision and Dahua cameras on the same canvas, share the same EN 62676-4 lens math and DORI ring overlays, and consolidate them into one BOM with cable schedule and PoE budget. Vendor design tools (Axis Site Designer, Hikvision HiTools, Dahua Project Design Tool, i-PRO SDT) cannot do this because each speaks only its own catalog.
