Product Description
The Hikvision DS-2CE78U1T-IT3F is an 8MP turret camera built for analogue coaxial systems that need genuine 4K detail. It records at up to 3840 × 2160, which matters if you need to identify faces or number plates at a distance rather than just spot movement.
Where it fits
This is a good match for entrances, car parks, warehouse yards and building perimeters — anywhere you'd rather have too much resolution than too little when reviewing footage after an incident.
Night vision
EXIR 2.0 (Hikvision's improved infrared array) gives night vision up to 60 metres, with illumination spread evenly across the frame so you don't get a blown-out white patch in the centre and darkness at the edges — a common problem with older IR cameras.
Compatibility — check this before buying
It's a 4-in-1 camera, switchable between HD-TVI, AHD, CVI and CVBS signals. That means it can usually work with your existing DVR and coaxial cabling even if that DVR isn't Hikvision, which is useful when upgrading an older analogue system without re-running cable. Confirm your recorder supports 8MP input at this resolution before ordering, since not every DVR does.
Build
The enclosure is IP67-rated — protected against dust ingress and against water, so it's suited to outdoor mounting on walls or ceilings via the turret bracket, as well as indoor use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this work with my existing DVR?
Yes, if your DVR accepts one of the four supported signal types (HD-TVI, AHD, CVI or CVBS) and can handle 8MP resolution — check the recorder's spec before buying.
How far does the night vision reach?
The EXIR 2.0 infrared system gives night vision up to 60 metres with evenly spread illumination across the scene.
Is it suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, the enclosure is IP67-rated, meaning it's protected against dust ingress and water, so it can be mounted outdoors on a wall or ceiling.
Do I need to replace my coaxial cabling to upgrade to this camera?
No — because it's a 4-in-1 model switchable between TVI/AHD/CVI/CVBS, it's designed to work over existing coaxial cable when upgrading from lower-resolution analogue cameras.
