Overview
The Hikvision DS-2CE12UF3T-E(2.8mm) is a 4K (8 MP) Turbo HD ColorVuHikvision AcuSense vs ColorVu: UK Installer Guide for 2026 bullet — F1.0 super-aperture optics deliver 24/7 colour imaging in low light without relying on bright white-light LEDs. Supplementary IR engages for total-darkness scenes when ambient light falls below the ColorVuHikvision AcuSense vs ColorVu: UK Installer Guide for 2026 threshold.
The F1.0 super-aperture lens pairs with a 1/1.8″ 4K CMOS sensor (3840 × 2160) to retain colour information at very low scene illumination. Supplementary IR (40 m range) engages for total-darkness scenes when ambient light falls below the ColorVuHikvision AcuSense vs ColorVu: UK Installer Guide for 2026 threshold — selectable Colour / B/W / Auto via DVR menu over coax (UTC).
5-in-1 hybrid coax is the major selling angle. The DS-2CE12UF3T-E(2.8mm) 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 that doesn't justify a full IP migration: keep the recorder, keep the cables, swap in the 4K (8 MP) camera. Digital WDR + 3D-DNR clean up back-lit and noisy low-light scenes.
Construction: IP67 weatherproof housing, -40 °C to 60 °C operating range. Power: 12 VDC or Power-over-Coax (PoCWhat is Hikvision PoC) from a PoCWhat is Hikvision PoC-capable DVR.
