Hikvision DS-2CE12DFT-F 6mm 2MP TurboHD ColorVu Outdoor HD Analog Bullet Camera

Hikvision DS-2CE12DFT-F 6mm TurboHD ColorVu Bullet Camera

24/7 Full-Color Surveillance Solution

The DS-2CE12DFT-F 6mm is engineered to deliver exceptional color imagery regardless of lighting conditions. This outdoor HD analog bullet camera incorporates Hikvision’s advanced ColorVu technology, enabling vibrant color reproduction even in near-complete darkness.

Unlike conventional cameras that switch to black-and-white night mode, the DS-2CE12DFT-F maintains full-color video around the clock thanks to its high-performance sensor and supplementary lighting. Consequently, this provides critical details such as clothing colors and vehicle paint that would otherwise be lost in monochrome footage.

Superior Imaging Capabilities

The DS-2CE12DFT-F features a professional-grade 2MP progressive scan CMOS sensor. This technology effectively:

• Eliminates motion blur with progressive scanning
• Captures crisp details with 1920 × 1080 resolution at 30fps
• Provides a 103° diagonal field of view with the 6mm fixed lens
• Maintains color accuracy with advanced white balance algorithms

Furthermore, the camera incorporates Smart Light technology that automatically adjusts the built-in warm light supplementary illumination based on scene brightness. This prevents overexposure while ensuring optimal visibility up to 20 meters (65.6 feet) in complete darkness.

Weather-Resistant Construction

Designed specifically for outdoor deployment, the DS-2CE12DFT-F offers robust environmental protection:

• IP67 weatherproof rating ensures dust-tight sealing and protection against powerful water jets
• Operating temperature range from -40°C to 60°C (-40°F to 140°F)
• Lightning protection up to 2kV
• Durable aluminum alloy housing with anti-corrosion coating

These protective features enable the DS-2CE12DFT-F to maintain reliable performance in harsh weather conditions, from heavy rainstorms to extreme temperatures.

Ideal Users for the DS-2CE12DFT-F

The Hikvision DS-2CE12DFT-F is particularly well-suited for:

• Property managers – The camera’s 1920 × 1080 resolution and 103° field of view allow monitoring of large areas with sufficient detail to identify individuals and vehicles.
• Retail business owners – ColorVu technology’s ability to capture accurate colors at all hours helps identify merchandise and clothing details critical for investigations.
• Residential users with large properties – The 20-meter IR range and wide dynamic range capabilities ensure clear footage across varying lighting conditions common in outdoor residential settings.
• Industrial security personnel – IP67 rating and extreme temperature tolerance (-40°C to 60°C) make this camera suitable for harsh industrial environments.

Integration Flexibility

The DS-2CE12DFT-F seamlessly integrates into existing analog systems while offering a path to higher performance:

• TurboHD technology supports multiple video formats (TVI/AHD/CVI/CVBS)
• Compatible with most HD analog DVRs
• Over-the-coaxial-cable (OCC) control support for simplified wiring
• EXIR 2.0 technology for more efficient infrared illumination

This compatibility makes the DS-2CE12DFT-F an excellent choice for upgrading legacy systems without requiring complete infrastructure replacement.
