Product Description
The DS-2CE72DFT-F28 is a 2 MP ColorVu turret camera that outputs full colour images 24 hours a day, not just in daylight.
Key specs
- Sensor: 2 MP fixed turret, HD-TVI/AHD/CVI/CVBS switchable (4-in-1) — drop-in replacement on existing analogue DVR channels regardless of protocol
- Lens: 2.8 mm fixed focal
- Low-light method: warm supplemental light, quoted range 20 m, in place of IR — this is what sustains colour rendering after dark rather than switching to monochrome IR
- WDR: 130 dB true WDR for scenes with strong backlight
- Noise handling: 3D DNR for cleaner frames in low light
- Ingress protection: IP67, rated for outdoor mounting exposed to water and dust
Why the 4-in-1 output matters on site
Because the video output is switchable between TVI, AHD, CVI and CVBS, this camera can go onto an existing multi-brand analogue system without swapping the DVR — useful when adding channels to a mixed installed base rather than a pure-Hikvision run.
Installer note
The 20 m supplemental light range and 130 dB WDR figure are the manufacturer's stated figures for this model; actual usable distance depends on scene reflectivity and mounting height, as with any fixed-lens turret.
No PoE or power-over-coax spec is stated for this SKU in the available documentation — confirm power requirements against the datasheet before quoting a job.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this camera work on a non-Hikvision analogue DVR?
Yes — it outputs 4-in-1 switchable video (TVI/AHD/CVI/CVBS), so it can be configured to match whichever protocol your existing DVR runs, making it viable as an add-on channel on a mixed-brand system.
Does it use infrared for night viewing?
No. Instead of IR, it uses a warm supplemental light rated to 20 m to maintain full colour imaging at night rather than switching to monochrome.
Is the DS-2CE72DFT-F28 suitable for outdoor mounting?
Yes, it carries an IP67 rating for water and dust resistance, which is standard for external turret placement.
What lens options are available?
This listing is the fixed 2.8 mm focal length variant; no other focal lengths are specified in the available documentation for this SKU.
