About the Hikvision 5MP 16-Camera ColorVu PoC CCTV Kit
The largest kit in the 3K range: sixteen DS-2CE72KF3T-LSYE ColorVu Smart Hybrid Light turrets on the iDS-7216HUHI-M2-PXT 16-channel AcuSense PoC recorder, every analogue channel in use. For industrial units, yards, schools, licensed venues, and multi-building sites where sixteen positions of 4K would stretch the budget, this configuration delivers colour night vision, recorded audio, and smart detection across the whole site at a price that undercuts most 4MP IP systems of the same scale.
Important, PoC power planning: Hikvision's 16-channel PoC recorders power a maximum of 12 AT-mode cameras. The DS-2CE72KF3T-LSYE is an AT camera, so on a 16-camera install the recorder powers 12 cameras over the coax and at least 4 cameras must be powered locally with 12 VDC supplies, which are not included in this kit. Single and multi-way 12 VDC power supplies are available separately. The 12 PoC-powered cameras are allocated across channels automatically rather than to fixed inputs, so design the local power provision for the 4 (or more) positions nearest to available supplies. Full AT/AF combinations are listed in the appendix of the DVR datasheet. Factor this into the quote before pricing the job.
With the power sorted, this is a very efficient system to run. Twelve of the sixteen legs stay true single-cable installs, and the four locally powered positions still carry video and audio down one coax each. The recorder encodes 3K at 12 fps, and sixteen 3K streams sit far more comfortably on the twin 12 TB SATA bays than the equivalent 4K load, helped further by H.265 Pro+ compression. AcuSense motion detection 2.0 covers all sixteen analogue channels to keep alerts meaningful, up to 8-channel advanced perimeter protection guards the critical boundaries, 4-channel facial recognition and AcuSearch speed up investigations, and up to 32 IP channels at 8MP remain for hybrid growth. Hik-Connect provides the client's remote access.
The cameras hold the same specification on all sixteen positions: F1.0 ColorVu optics for colour at 0.0005 lux, Smart Hybrid Light with 40 m white light and 40 m IR per camera, true 130 dB WDR for loading bays and glazed frontages, and built-in microphones with audio over the coax. Housings are metal-bodied, IP67 sealed, and anti-corrosion protected to NEMA 4X equivalent, so exposed gables, coastal frontages, and farm buildings are all within spec. Supplied without hard drives, add surveillance-rated HDDs sized to the retention period. Also available with black cameras, and see the 4K CVA range where resolution takes priority over price.
