Hikvision DS-2CE72KF3T-LS 8 MP 4-in-1 ColorVu Turret Camera with 2.8mm Lens, White Light, Built-in Mic, IP67

For 24/7 full-colour surveillance in challenging low-light conditions, the Hikvision DS-2CE72KF3T-LS stands apart with its ColorVu technology and F1.0 super-aperture lens. Unlike conventional cameras that switch to black-and-white at night, this 8 MP turret camera captures vivid colour video even in near darkness, thanks to its built-in white light illuminator with a 20 m range. The 2.8 mm fixed lens provides a wide 102° horizontal field of view, making it ideal for monitoring large areas such as parking lots, backyards, or retail floors. Its 4-in-1 switchable video output (TVI, AHD, CVI, CVBS) ensures compatibility with most existing DVRs, while the integrated microphone picks up clear audio over coaxial cable—no extra wiring needed.

Highlights

• 8 MP CMOS sensor delivers crisp 3840 × 2160 resolution at 15 fps
• ColorVu technology with F1.0 aperture and white light for true colour night vision up to 20 m
• 4-in-1 video output: TVI / AHD / CVI / CVBS switchable
• Built-in microphone for audio over coaxial (AoC)
• IP67 weatherproof metal housing for outdoor use in temperatures from -40 °C to 60 °C
• Digital WDR (DWDR) improves image quality in high-contrast scenes
• Low power consumption: max 3.5 W on 12 VDC

In daily use

Installation is straightforward: mount the turret on a wall or ceiling, run a single coaxial cable for both video and audio, and connect to a compatible Hikvision DVR. The camera’s 12 VDC power input accepts a wide voltage range (±25%), so it works reliably even with fluctuating power. With no need for an extra microphone or IR illuminator, you reduce clutter and cost. The white light not only enables colour imaging at night but also acts as a visible deterrent, while the microphone captures sound within the camera’s vicinity—useful for recording conversations or detecting unusual noises. The metal body and IP67 rating ensure durability against rain, dust, and extreme temperatures, making it a set-and-forget security solution.
