Product Description
DS-2CE72UF3T-E-W is an 8MP (3840×2160) HD-TVI turret camera built for coaxial upgrades where PoC power delivery matters more than network cabling.
It's a ColorVu model, meaning it holds full-colour imaging round the clock rather than dropping to monochrome once light fails — relevant when a site brief specifies colour evidence at night.
Key specs
- Resolution: 8 MP / 3840 × 2160
- Lens: 2.8 mm fixed
- WDR: 130 dB true WDR for strong backlight scenes
- Noise reduction: 3D DNR for cleaner low-light frames
- Night imaging: up to 40 m white light distance
- Signal support: HD-TVI, AHD, CVI and CVBS
- Ingress protection: IP67
Coax and signal compatibility
Running over HD-TVI, AHD, CVI and CVBS means this turret drops into most existing analogue DVR estates without a network re-cable — useful on refurb jobs where the coaxial run is already in place and swapping to IP isn't in scope. Confirm the DVR's input format and channel resolution ceiling supports 8MP before specifying.
Installation notes
The turret form factor gives more angle adjustment at the mounting point than a bullet housing, which helps on entrance, corridor and perimeter positions where exact aim matters. IP67 rating covers both indoor and exposed outdoor fixing points.
For jobs relying on IR/white-light performance at night, verify the power supply and cable run are rated for the load — voltage drop over long or thin runs is a common cause of flicker or dropout once illumination kicks in.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this camera work with my existing analogue DVR?
It supports HD-TVI, AHD, CVI and CVBS signal formats, so it's designed to integrate with a wide range of analogue DVR systems over existing coaxial cabling. Check your DVR's input format and channel resolution ceiling supports 8MP before installing.
Does it record in colour at night?
Yes, this is a ColorVu model, providing 24/7 colour imaging rather than switching to monochrome in low light.
How far does the night vision reach?
The camera provides up to 40 metres of white light distance for night imaging, according to the manufacturer's specification.
Is it suitable for outdoor installation?
The housing is IP67-rated for protection against dust and water ingress, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor mounting in exposed locations.
