Frequently asked questions

Does it record in colour at night?

Yes. It has 24/7 colour imaging, and its Day & Night mode is colour only. The white light supports this with a range of up to 40 m.

Can the white light be turned off?

Yes. The menu sets it to Auto or Off. The picture may then depend on the light already in the scene.

Will it work with an existing recorder?

Usually yes, if the recorder takes TVI at 8 MP. Check the recorder's own specification.

Can it be powered over the coaxial cable?

Yes. It takes PoC.at as well as 12 VDC ± 25%. The recorder or PoC power source must also support PoC.

Does it have a microphone?

Treat this as a video-only camera. If you need audio, check with Hikvision before ordering.

Can it go on a pole?

Yes, with a mount. The DS-1275ZJ-SUS vertical pole mount is an optional accessory.

Hikvision DS-2CE72UF3T-E(2.8MM) turret camera, front view

Hikvision 4K ColorVu PoC Turret Camera, 8 MP, 2.8 mm DS-2CE72UF3T-E(2.8MM)

What this turret camera is for

Grey night footage often cannot show the colour of a car or a coat. This Hikvision camera is made for coaxial systems where that detail matters after dark.

It suits a homeowner or small business with a DVR (digital video recorder), and an installer reusing cable already in the walls. A turret camera has a ball-style lens unit in a base, with no dome cover over it.

How the camera's technology works

  • ColorVu: Hikvision's name for this colour-at-night range. The camera stays in colour rather than switching to a black and white mode.
  • White light: a visible light on the front of the camera. Set it to Auto or Off in the menu, which also has a Smart Light function.
  • Solid light alarm: this uses the white light. Read it as a visible signal, and set it up on site to check how it behaves for the job.
  • PoC: short for power over coax. One coaxial cable carries both the video and the power.

Where to use it

The IP67 rating and metal main body suit outdoor walls and soffits, and it also works indoors. Common spots are drives, front doors and yards.

A white light is seen by people nearby, so think about neighbours' windows when you aim it. Where any visible light would be unwelcome, an infrared camera may suit better.

What the figures mean in practice

  • 8 MP at 12.5 or 15 fps: full resolution runs at this frame rate over TVI. Dropping to 3K gives 20 fps, and 1080P gives 25 or 30 fps, for smoother movement.
  • Up to 40 m of white light: this is how far the light reaches, not how far you can identify a person. The target needs to be much closer for that.
  • 110° view: a wide picture from the 2.8 mm lens, which favours the area near the camera over anything far away.
  • Masks and motion areas: four of each let you hide a neighbour's window and limit motion detection to the parts of the scene that matter.

Installing it

  • Choosing the power route: use PoC where the recorder or power source supports it, or run a separate 12 VDC supply to the camera.
  • Fixings by code: Hikvision also offers the DS-1276ZJ-SUS corner mount and the DS-1281ZJ-S inclined ceiling mount. Check each one's finish on its own page.
  • Aiming: three-axis adjustment lets you level the picture on a sloped soffit or a side wall.
  • Menu: the menu language is English, and control over the cable is HIKVISION-C.

Planning your system

Recording happens at the recorder. Allow coaxial cable for each camera, and hard drives sized for the days of footage you want to keep.

Standards and ratings explained

  • IP67: dust tight, and protected against temporary immersion in water.
  • TVI: an HD video signal sent down coaxial cable.
  • PAL and NTSC: the two older regional video systems, which set the shutter time ranges.
