Overview
The Hikvision DS-2CE12KF0T-LTS(3.6MM) is a 3K (5 MP) Turbo HD ColorVuHikvision AcuSense vs ColorVu: UK Installer Guide for 2026 bullet — the analogue camera with Hikvision's F1.0 super-aperture optics that deliver 24/7 colour imaging in low light without relying on white-light LEDs. Built-in microphone and audio-output deliver 2-way audio over coax when paired with a compatible Turbo HD AcusenseHikvision AcuSense NVR Range 2026: Sizing Guide DVR.
The F1.0 super-aperture lens pairs with a 1/2.7″ 3K CMOS sensor (2960 × 1665) to retain colour information at very low scene illumination. Supplementary IR (40 m range) kicks in for total-darkness scenes when ambient light is below the ColorVuHikvision AcuSense vs ColorVu: UK Installer Guide for 2026 threshold. Note: the K10 / K12 fixed-bullet variants are ColorVuHikvision AcuSense vs ColorVu: UK Installer Guide for 2026 fixed-aperture (no white-light LED) — for active deterrent with strobe/siren and white-light boost, see the DS-2CE72KF0T-LTS turret variants in the same Wave 9 launch.
5-in-1 hybrid coax is the major selling angle. The DS-2CE12KF0T-LTS(3.6MM) auto-detects HD-TVI, AHD, HDCVI or CVBS on connection — drops straight into virtually any UK analogue DVR in stock with installers today. That makes it an ideal upgrade path for sites still running an older HD-TVI / AHD / HDCVI DVR: keep the recorder, keep the cables, swap in the 3K (5 MP) command. Digital WDR + 3D-DNR clean up back-lit scenes and noisy low-light footage.
Construction: IP67 weatherproof housing, -40 °C to 60 °C operating range. Power: 12 VDC. CE / UKCA / RoHS / REACH / WEEE certified. Same-day dispatch from Netview CCTV Leicester — authorised Hikvision wholesale distributor — with trade pricing on stocked Turbo HD product.
