About the DS-2CE78H0T-IT3FS
The Hikvision DS-2CE78H0T-IT3FS is a 5MP audio fixed turret camera for Turbo HD analogue systems, combining high-resolution 5MP IR imaging with a built-in microphone and audio over coaxial (AOC) capability. The key practical advantage of this model over a standard IR turret is the integrated audio: the built-in microphone transmits audio back to a compatible Hikvision DVR over the same coaxial cable that carries the video signal - no separate audio cable is required. For installations requiring audio recording, this simplifies the cable run, reduces installation time, and avoids the need to route a dedicated audio cable alongside the video cable.
The camera uses a 5MP CMOS sensor delivering 2560 x 1944 resolution with EXIR smart IR illumination covering up to 40 metres. The mechanical ICR (IR cut filter) provides accurate colour reproduction in daylight and automatic switching to sharp monochrome IR imaging at night, reaching a minimum illumination of 0.01 Lux at F1.2. The 2.8mm fixed focal lens provides an 85.5° horizontal field of view, covering entrances, corridors, car parks and outdoor areas. Smart IR automatically modulates IR intensity relative to subject distance, preventing overexposure close to the camera while maintaining effective range illumination.
Frame rates include 5MP at 20fps, 4MP at 25/30fps and 1080p at 25/30fps in TVI mode, with AHD, CVI and CVBS also supported from a single switchable 4-in-1 output. Digital WDR, BLC, HLC and 2D DNR handle challenging lighting conditions and image noise. The Auto/Color/BW day/night mode selector, STD/HIGH-SAT image parameter switch and Auto/Manual white balance give installers full control over image character and quality.
The camera communicates via Hikvision-C coaxial protocol for remote on-screen menu access and is powered by a standard 12VDC supply at a maximum of 3.7W. It is housed in a compact IP67-rated turret body measuring Ø109.82 x 91.03mm, weighing approximately 300g, with a plastic enclosure over a metal main body. The operating temperature range extends from -40°C to 60°C. Full pan (0° to 360°), tilt (0° to 75°) and rotation (0° to 360°) adjustment provides flexible camera positioning from any mount point.
The DS-2CE78H0T-IT3FS is the appropriate specification for any Turbo HD installation where audio recording is a requirement and a clean, single-cable coaxial run is preferred over a separate audio cable - from retail premises to commercial properties, staff areas and any site where evidential audio is part of the security brief.
