§ 01Overview
What the DS-2CE78U7T-IT3F is
The Hikvision DS-2CE78U7T-IT3F is an 8 MP (4K) Turbo HD outdoor turret camera that upgrades an analogue CCTV system to 4K over existing coax - no network cabling needed.
It records 3840 x 2160 and switches between four signal types (TVI/AHD/CVI/CVBS), so it works with almost any HD or legacy analogue recorder that supports 8 MP TVI.
Lens: fixed 2.8 mm (approx.
102 degrees wide view).
Night vision: EXIR 2.0 infrared to 60 m (black and white at night).
Frame rate: full 8 MP runs at 12.5/15 fps over coax; drop to 4-5 MP for 25-30 fps.
Built for Australian outdoor use with an IP67 metal housing rated -40C to 60C, 130 dB true WDR and a 0.003 lux ultra-low-light sensor.
Powered by 12 V DC (no Power-over-Coax).
3-year Australian warranty.

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.

§ 02Engineering
DS-2CE78U7T-IT3F specifications
- 4-in-1 switchable output: TVI, AHD, CVI or CVBS to suit an 8 MP-capable HD recorder or a legacy analogue DVR.
- EXIR 2.0 smart IR to 60 m: even night illumination with less over-exposure of close objects (footage is black and white at night).
- 130 dB true WDR and a 0.003 lux sensor: usable images in harsh backlight and very low light.
- Frame rate note: full 8 MP records at 12.5-15 fps over coax; set 4-5 MP for 25-30 fps if you want smoother motion.
- Fixed 2.8 mm lens (about 102 degrees) for wide driveway, yard or shopfront coverage.
- IP67 metal-bodied turret rated -40C to 60C; 12 V DC powered (not powered over coax).

Installation & setup
What's in the Box
1. Hikvision DS-2CE78U7T-IT3F Camera × 1 2. Drill Template and Screw Kit × 1 3. Quick Start Guide × 1
Installation Requirements
1. Power: a 12 V DC supply - this model is not powered over coax. 2. Cabling: one coax run (BNC) to your DVR; you can reuse existing RG59 from older analogue cameras. 3. Recorder: for full 8 MP use an 8 MP-capable HD-TVI / AHD / CVI DVR; set the camera to CVBS for a legacy analogue recorder. 4. Mounting: solid wall or eave; the turret tilts on its base to aim. No IK vandal rating, so mount it out of easy reach in exposed spots.
