Hikvision DS-2CE76D0T-LPFS 2MP Smart Hybrid Dome Camera with Built-In Mic: Colour Night Vision in a Turret Body
Black-and-white night footage tells you something moved. Colour night footage tells you what it was wearing, what colour the vehicle was, and which direction it went. The Hikvision DS-2CE76D0T-LPFS uses a smart hybrid lighting system that combines infrared and white light illuminators, both rated to 20 metres, to deliver full-colour images after dark without permanently flooding the area in visible light the way a traditional white-light camera does.
The smart hybrid mode switches intelligently between IR and white light based on what's happening in the scene. During quiet periods, the camera uses invisible infrared to avoid light pollution and unnecessary attention. When motion is detected, it can trigger the white LEDs to capture colour detail of the event and simultaneously act as a visible deterrent. You get the stealth of IR surveillance with the evidential value of colour recording, automatically, without manual intervention.
The 2MP sensor captures 1920 × 1080 full HD video at up to 30 fps, providing smooth, detailed footage across the camera's field of view. The 2.8 mm fixed lens delivers a wide 118° diagonal angle that covers a full room, corridor, entrance, or shopfront in a single camera position. A 3.6 mm lens variant is also available for slightly narrower, more focused coverage with a 92° diagonal view. Minimum illumination reaches 0.01 Lux at F1.6 in colour mode and 0 Lux with IR active, so the camera continues producing usable footage in conditions where the human eye would see almost nothing.
A built-in microphone with a pickup radius of approximately 5 metres records audio alongside the video feed using audio-over-coaxial technology. That means the audio signal travels down the same BNC cable as the video, with no need to run a separate audio cable or install an external microphone. For retail environments, reception areas, and access points, having synchronised audio and video on playback significantly increases the evidential value of recorded footage.
Signal compatibility is as broad as analogue HD gets. The camera outputs switchable TVI, AHD, CVI, and CVBS through a single BNC connector, so it integrates with virtually any existing analogue HD DVR regardless of brand or protocol. If you're replacing a failed camera on an older system or mixing brands across an installation, the quad-signal output eliminates compatibility guesswork.
Image quality benefits from digital WDR, BLC (backlight compensation), and HLC (highlight compensation), which together handle the tricky lighting conditions that trip up basic cameras: bright doorways against dark interiors, headlights washing out a gate camera, or a sunlit window behind a reception counter. Smart IR automatically adjusts infrared intensity based on subject distance, preventing the overexposed faces that plague cameras with fixed-output IR LEDs.
The turret housing is moulded from plastic and measures just 84.6 mm tall with an 85 mm diameter, compact enough to mount discreetly above a door frame, in a ceiling corner, or under a soffit without dominating the space. Weight sits at approximately 156 grams. The three-axis adjustment (360° pan, 75° tilt, 360° rotation) lets you aim the lens precisely during installation without needing a separate adjustable bracket. Operating temperature ranges from -40°C to 60°C, covering everything from cold storage environments to rooftop mounting in direct summer sun.
Power draw maxes out at just 3.3 W from a 12 VDC supply, keeping the camera within the capacity of virtually any CCTV power distribution box. Hikvision recommends one adaptor per camera for optimal performance.
