Product Description
The Hikvision DS-2CE78H0T-IT3FS is a 5 MP turret camera that records sound as well as video over your existing coax cable. It suits anyone upgrading an older analogue system who wants sharper detail and audio without pulling new wiring.
What it actually gives you
- 5 MP resolution (2560 × 1944) — noticeably crisper than standard 2 MP/1080p cameras, useful for reading number plates or faces at a distance.
- Built-in microphone with audio over coax — sound is carried down the same coaxial cable as the video, but only works if your DVR also supports audio-over-coax; check that before buying.
- 2.8 mm fixed lens — a wide field of view, good for entrances, corridors and general area coverage rather than tight zoomed-in shots.
- Smart IR night vision, up to 40 m — switches automatically between colour daytime footage and infrared black-and-white at night using an IR cut filter.
- Digital WDR — helps balance scenes with strong backlighting, such as a doorway facing a bright sky.
- 4-in-1 output (TVI/AHD/CVI/CVBS) — it will talk to most existing analogue DVRs, so you're not tied to one brand of recorder.
- IP67-rated housing — dust and water resistant, so it's fine mounted outdoors as well as inside.
Before you buy
Confirm your DVR has enough spare channels, supports 5 MP recording, and has audio-over-coax input if you want to use the microphone — otherwise you'll get video only.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the built-in microphone work with any DVR?
No — the DVR itself must support audio over coaxial cable for you to hear sound from this camera; if it doesn't, you'll still get video but no audio.
How far does the night vision reach?
The camera uses Smart IR and can see in complete darkness up to 40 metres.
Can I use it with a non-Hikvision recorder?
It outputs in TVI, AHD, CVI or CVBS formats, so it should work with most analogue DVRs that support one of these formats, though audio over coax specifically is a Hikvision feature best paired with a compatible Hikvision DVR.
Is it suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, the housing is IP67-rated, meaning it's protected against dust and water ingress.
