Hikvision DS-2CE72HFT-F28 White ,5 MP ColorVu Fixed Turret Camera

Hikvision DS-2CE72HFT-F28 — 5 MP ColorVu Fixed Turret, 2.8 mm, White

A 5 MP fixed turret camera that delivers full-time colour output rather than switching to monochrome infrared at night. This is the core spec that dictates specification decisions on a job: continuous colour identification of subjects, vehicles and clothing after dark.

Key specs

• Resolution: 5 MP sensor
• Lens: 2.8 mm fixed focal length
• Illumination: warm supplemental light rated to a 20 m range, supporting 24/7 full-colour imaging
• WDR: 130 dB true WDR for scenes with strong backlighting — car park entrances, doorways facing glazing, west-facing elevations
• Noise handling: 3D DNR for cleaner, sharper images in low light
• Body: turret form factor, finished in white

Specifying against backlit or unlit sites

On sites with strong contre-jour (entrance lobbies, gate cameras facing sky) the 130 dB WDR figure is the number to check against existing spec sheets before swapping in this unit as a like-for-like replacement. For unlit perimeters, the 20 m supplemental light range sets the practical distance for reliable colour capture — beyond that, expect a drop-off in colour rendition as ambient light falls.

Part numbers

Also catalogued under DS-2CE72HFT-F28-2.8MM-W and the -1 through -5 suffix variants, plus CE-9KAG-0A8W and GA-VPHT-42ZQ — useful when cross-referencing older quotes or supplier listings against this SKU.

This model is a straight fixed-lens turret — no motorised zoom, no varifocal adjustment — so confirm the 2.8 mm field of view suits the mounting height and coverage area before ordering.
