§ 01Overview
What the DS-2CE57H8T-VPITF is
The Hikvision DS-2CE57H8T-VPITF is a 5 MP Turbo HD dome for upgrading an existing analog CCTV system to sharp high-definition video without rewiring.
It sends its picture over the coaxial cable you already have to a Turbo HD DVR, and a 4-in-1 output switches between TVI, AHD, CVI and CVBS so it works with almost any HD analog or older recorder.
A fixed 2.8 mm lens gives a wide view, with 3.6 mm and 6 mm options for tighter angles.
It performs well after dark and in difficult light.
Ultra-low-light imaging holds detail down to 0.003 Lux, 130 dB true WDR balances bright entrances against shadow so faces are not lost in glare, and 3D DNR keeps the picture clean.
EXIR 2.0 infrared lights the scene up to 30 m for clear night coverage; in infrared the image is black-and-white.
A vandal-resistant build makes it a solid choice for exposed positions.
Two notes so you install it correctly.
This is an analog Turbo HD camera, so it connects over coax to a DVR, not over the network to an NVR - make sure your DVR supports 5 MP Turbo HD input.
It runs on a 12 VDC supply and has no microphone or speaker.
The metal housing is IP67 against dust and heavy rain and IK10 against impact, so it suits eaves, entrances and walls in the Australian climate.
