Product Description
Overview
The DS-2CE12UF3T-E is an 8MP 4K HD-TVI bullet camera built for coaxial installs where resolution matters more than a network upgrade. Maximum output is 3840 × 2160, giving installers detail suitable for perimeter lines, entrances, and industrial or commercial sites.
Key specs

- Lens options: 2.8mm, 3.6mm, 6mm fixed focal
- WDR: 130 dB true WDR for backlit scenes
- Noise reduction: 3D DNR for cleaner low-light frames
- White light distance: up to 40m for colour night imaging
- IR range: up to 80m for infrared night vision
- Housing: IP67-rated, dust and water resistant
- Output formats: HD-TVI, AHD, CVI, CVBS
Day/night operation
The camera switches automatically between colour daylight capture and IR-assisted monochrome at night via an IR cut filter, giving 24/7 usable footage without manual mode changes.
Compatibility note
Multi-format output (HD-TVI/AHD/CVI/CVBS) means this camera can drop into existing analogue DVR chains across brands, useful when upgrading a legacy coax run without swapping the whole recorder. Confirm the target DVR supports 8MP HD-TVI input before specifying, as older 4-channel recorders may cap at lower resolutions.
Lens variant (2.8mm/3.6mm/6mm) should be specified at order stage — field of view differs significantly between them on tight entrance shots versus wider perimeter coverage.
