§ 01Overview
What the DS-2CE79U7T-AIT3ZF is
The Hikvision DS-2CE79U7T-AIT3ZF is an 8 MP, 4K Turbo HD turret with a motorised zoom, the high-resolution option for sites upgrading a coax system that still want to frame the view from the ground.
It sends a 3840 x 2160 image down existing coax and switches between TVI, AHD, CVI and CVBS, so it works with almost any 8 MP-capable HD analog DVR.
An ultra-low-light sensor and 130 dB Wide Dynamic Range keep the picture clear where a bright sky meets a shaded wall.
The motorised 2.7 to 13.5 mm varifocal lens lets you set the zoom and focus remotely, from a wide 108-degree view down to a tighter 45-degree long-range shot, so a single camera covers a broad forecourt or reaches along a driveway without a return visit.
Auto-focus sharpens the image each time you change the zoom.
EXIR 2.0 lights the scene up to 60 m and spreads the infrared evenly, and the night image is black and white under infrared as expected for an infrared turret.
At 8 MP you keep more detail when you zoom into recorded footage after an event.
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 or 24 VAC supply; it does not use PoE or plug into an IP NVR.
Second, to keep the full 8 MP image you need a DVR that records at 8 MP Turbo HD, and Up-the-Coax control lets you reach the on-screen menu and the zoom from a supporting recorder.
The metal turret is IP67 rated for dust and water.
Record it to a Hikvision 8 MP Turbo HD DVR.

8MP Ultra HD
Even when a person or car is far down the driveway, you can zoom in and still recognise a face or read a number plate — detail that lower-resolution cameras lose.

§ 04Why choose this
Built for the way you actually use the DS-2CE79U7T-AIT3ZF
Frame the view from the ground
The motorised 2.7 to 13.5 mm lens is set remotely, so one camera covers a wide area or reaches a long driveway without a ladder.
Upgrade without rewiring
It runs over existing coax and works with 8 MP-capable HD analog DVRs, so there is no network cabling to pull.
Long, even night vision
EXIR 2.0 reaches up to 60 m and spreads light evenly, so the edges of the scene are lit and close objects are not washed out.
§ 05Where it fits
Right at home in these scenarios
Key approaches and gates
The 8 MP detail and motorised zoom suit an entrance or gate where you need to read faces and plates at distance.
Forecourts and car parks
Set a wide view for the whole area or zoom onto an entry, all from one mounting point, with detail to spare.
Analog 4K upgrades
Bring 8 MP detail to an existing coax system without moving to IP cameras and an NVR.
Building faces and perimeters
Frame a wall or boundary at the width you need, with WDR for bright-against-shade scenes.
§ 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 or 24 VAC power supply are bought separately.
Mounting
Surface-mount the turret to a wall, eave or ceiling and angle it along the view you want. The IP67 metal body suits exposed positions.
Wiring and power
Run coax back to an 8 MP-capable DVR for video and a 12 VDC or 24 VAC supply for power. Set the output format to match the DVR before fixing the camera.
Setup tips
Use Up-the-Coax control to set the motorised zoom and focus from the DVR, and aim the infrared away from nearby walls to avoid glare in the picture.

§ 09Bundles
Recommended packages
Record it on an 8 MP Turbo HD DVR
Connect it to a Hikvision 8 MP Turbo HD recorder such as the iDS-7208HTHI-M2/S, which takes the full 8 MP image, then add a larger surveillance drive like the 8 TB drive for weeks of 4K footage.
Pair it with a wide companion
Add a wide fixed camera such as the DS-2CE16H8T-ITF bullet on the same DVR so you get both detail at distance and full-scene context.
Power and cabling
Use a 12 VDC or 24 VAC 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.
