Product Description
The Hikvision 3K Two Way Audio Turret Camera, DS-2CE78K0T-LPTS is a 3K HD-TVI (High Definition Transport Video Interface) turret camera. It carries picture and sound down one coaxial cable, so it suits analogue systems that need audio at the camera.
What each spec gives you
- 2960 × 1664 resolution (3K): enhanced image clarity for residential, commercial and perimeter views.
- Up to 20 m white light: full-colour night images within that range.
- Up to 30 m infrared (IR): discreet night monitoring with no visible light.
- Smart Hybrid Light: white light and IR in one camera. You choose the lighting mode to suit the site and the recorder.
- Built-in microphone and speaker: you can listen and talk through the camera in real time.
- IP67 rating: water and dust resistant, for indoor or outdoor positions.
- HD-TVI, AHD, CVI and CVBS output: works with a range of DVRs (digital video recorders) and reuses existing coax.
What else you need
Two-way audio over coax works when the camera is connected to a compatible Hikvision DVR that supports audio over coax. Without that, the audio feature is not available.
The turret body adjusts during installation and mounts to a ceiling or a wall.
