§ 01Overview
What the DS-2CE16H8T-ITF is
The Hikvision DS-2CE16H8T-ITF is a 5 MP Turbo HD mini bullet, an easy way to lift an existing coax-cabled system to high definition without pulling new network cable. It sends a 2560 x 1944 image down the same coax you already have. A 130 dB Wide Dynamic Range and a 0.003 lux low-light rating keep the picture readable where a bright sky meets a shaded wall.
The 2.8 mm fixed lens gives a wide view of about 98 degrees, which suits a driveway, a yard or the face of a building from a single mounting point. EXIR 2.0 Smart IR lights the scene up to 30 m and spreads the infrared evenly to avoid the hot centre and dark edges of older bullets, while Smart IR pulls back the light on close objects so they are not washed out. The image at night is black and white under infrared, as expected for an infrared bullet; 3.6 mm and 6 mm versions exist if you want a narrower, longer view.
Two points to plan around. First, this is an analog camera, so it connects to a DVR over coax and is powered by a local 12 VDC supply; it does not use PoE or plug into an IP NVR. Second, the metal body is rated IP67 against dust and water with an operating range down to -40 degrees C, so it handles eaves, walls and open yards across Australian conditions. Its small 158 mm body keeps it discreet on a shopfront or a home. Pair it with a Hikvision Turbo HD DVR that records at 5 MP to keep the full image.

§ 04Why choose this
Built for the way you actually use the DS-2CE16H8T-ITF
Works with almost any DVR
TVI, AHD, CVI and CVBS output means it suits HD analog and older recorders alike, rather than locking you to one brand.
Even, glare-free night vision
EXIR 2.0 Smart IR spreads light up to 30 m and dims close objects, so the whole scene is lit without a washed-out centre.
Small, tough and affordable
A 130 dB WDR image in a compact IP67 metal body at a low price makes it an easy choice for budget-led upgrades.
§ 05Where it fits
Right at home in these scenarios
Analog system upgrades
Replace ageing standard-definition cameras on existing coax with a 5 MP image and no new cabling.
Homes and shopfronts
The small body stays discreet on a house or shop while the wide 2.8 mm lens covers an entrance and approach.
Driveways and yards
Up to 30 m of even infrared and a wide view cover a driveway or a yard after dark.
Budget-led sites
A low-cost way to add high-definition outdoor cover where an IP system is not justified.
§ 06Setup
Installation & setup
In the box
Camera, mounting template and screw pack, and the quick start guide. A DVR, coax cabling and a 12 VDC power supply are bought separately.
Mounting
Surface-mount the bullet to a wall or eave and angle it along the view you want. The IP67 metal body suits exposed positions.
Wiring and power
Run coax back to the DVR for video and a 12 VDC supply for power. Set the output format to match the DVR before you fix the camera in place.
Setup tips
Choose TVI, AHD, CVI or CVBS to match your recorder, and aim the infrared away from nearby walls to avoid glare in the picture.

§ 10Bundles
Recommended packages
Record it on a Turbo HD DVR
Connect it to a Hikvision 8 MP Turbo HD recorder such as the iDS-7208HTHI-M2/S, which takes the full 5 MP image, then add a surveillance drive like the 6 TB drive for continuous footage.
Add a motorised companion
Where you need to reach further or frame a tighter view, pair it with the DS-2CE79H8T-AIT3ZF motorised varifocal turret on the same DVR.
Power and cabling
Use a 12 VDC supply at the camera and your existing coax back to the DVR. There is no PoE on an analog camera, so plan a local power source at each position.
