Product Description
The Hikvision DS-2CE78U0T-LPTS is an 8MP (4K, 3840 × 2160) turret camera for analogue CCTV systems, adding two-way audio without extra cabling.
What it does: captures 4K detail and sends/receives audio down the same coaxial cable already run to your DVR, using a built-in microphone and speaker.
Key specs
- Resolution: 3840 × 2160 (8MP/4K)
- Night vision: up to 20 m white light, up to 30 m infrared, via Smart Hybrid Light (switch between full-colour or discreet IR at night)
- Audio: built-in mic and speaker, two-way audio over coax
- Formats: TVI, AHD, CVI, CVBS — matches most existing analogue DVRs
- Housing: turret, wall or ceiling mount, indoor or outdoor
- Weatherproofing: IP67 (dust and water resistant)
Before you buy
- Check your DVR supports audio over coax. The two-way audio only works if the recorder is compatible — without that, you'll get video but no audio link.
- Format switching means it can slot into an existing TVI, AHD, CVI or CVBS system without rewiring, useful for upgrading an older setup.
- Smart Hybrid Light lets you choose white light for colour identification or IR for a more discreet, unlit look at night, depending on the scene.
Good for entrances, reception areas, or anywhere you want to see clearly at night and talk through the camera itself — provided your recorder is ready for it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the two-way audio work with any DVR?
No. It only works end-to-end if your Hikvision DVR explicitly supports audio-over-coax input — check the recorder's spec before relying on this feature.
What's the difference between the white light and IR range?
The camera gives up to 20 m of white light for full-colour night footage, and up to 30 m of infrared for more discreet, unlit low-light monitoring. Smart Hybrid Light lets you choose or switch between them.
Can I use this camera outdoors?
Yes, it's IP67-rated, meaning it's protected against dust and water ingress, and it's designed for wall or ceiling mounting indoors or outdoors.
Will it work with my existing analogue cabling?
It supports TVI, AHD, CVI and CVBS formats, so it can typically be added to an existing analogue DVR system using the coaxial cable already installed.
