Hikvision DS-2CE76H0T-ITPFS 5MP Audio Turret Camera

The Hikvision DS-2CE76H0T-ITPFS is a 5MP Turbo HD audio turret camera designed for surveillance installations that need higher image resolution along with locally captured audio. It uses a 5MP CMOS sensor to produce up to 2560 × 1944 resolution and supports multiple analogue video standards, allowing the camera to be integrated with compatible Hikvision and multi-format DVR systems.

The built-in microphone adds audio capture without requiring a separate microphone at the camera location. Video output can be switched between TVI, AHD, CVI and CVBS, which is particularly useful when upgrading existing coaxial CCTV infrastructure in Indian homes, shops, offices, warehouses and other commercial premises.

The camera supports fixed 2.8mm, 3.6mm and 6mm lens options, allowing the installer to select a wider or more focused field of view according to the installation. Smart IR provides infrared illumination up to 20 metres, while Digital WDR and 2D DNR help maintain usable footage under varying lighting conditions.

For installations where an existing coaxial system is being upgraded from lower-resolution cameras, the DS-2CE76H0T-ITPFS can be considered alongside other Hikvision 5MP analogue cameras such as the Hikvision DS-2CE16H0T-ITPFS 5MP Audio Camera, subject to the required camera form factor and mounting position.

5MP Image Quality for Detailed CCTV Monitoring

The 5MP CMOS sensor records at up to 2560 × 1944 resolution when used in the supported TVI mode. Compared with conventional 1080p surveillance cameras, the additional pixel count provides more image information for reviewing entrances, counters, corridors and other monitored areas.

The camera supports 5MP at up to 20fps over TVI. It also supports 4MP and 1080p operating modes, allowing installers to match the camera output with the capabilities of the connected DVR and the requirements of the installation.

For Indian CCTV upgrades, this flexibility is useful when replacing cameras individually rather than changing an entire surveillance system at once. The existing DVR should always be checked for supported resolution, format and frame-rate combinations before installation.

Built-in Audio and Audio over Coaxial

The DS-2CE76H0T-ITPFS incorporates a built-in microphone. Audio is transmitted over the coaxial connection along with the camera’s video signal, reducing the need for a separate microphone and additional audio cabling where the compatible DVR supports coaxial audio.

This feature can be useful for retail counters, reception desks, small offices, entry areas and other locations where audio provides additional context to recorded video. The DVR must support the relevant audio-over-coaxial functionality for recording and playback.

Before deploying the camera in a project, installers should verify the DVR’s audio input capability and the selected video standard. Audio performance can also vary with installation environment, cable quality and surrounding noise.

Smart IR Night Vision

The camera uses Smart IR illumination with a specified IR range of up to 20 metres. In low-light conditions, the camera switches to black-and-white imaging through its ICR day/night mechanism and activates infrared illumination to maintain visibility.

Smart IR is intended to control infrared illumination so that nearby objects are less likely to become excessively bright. Actual usable identification distance depends on mounting height, scene reflectivity, ambient conditions, lens selection and the amount of activity within the scene.

For a typical Indian residential gate, shop entrance or corridor, the 20m specification provides a useful reference for installation planning, but the installer should evaluate the actual scene rather than treating the published IR distance as a guaranteed recognition distance.

Digital WDR and Low-Light Image Processing

Digital WDR helps compensate for scenes containing differences between brighter and darker areas. This is relevant at entrances where daylight can enter from outside while the interior remains comparatively dark.

The camera also supports 2D Digital Noise Reduction, automatic gain control and configurable image parameters including brightness, sharpness and mirror functions. These controls give installers additional flexibility when tuning the camera for different lighting conditions.

The camera supports a minimum illumination specification of 0.01 Lux at F2.0 with AGC enabled and 0 Lux with IR according to the Hikvision datasheet.

Fixed Lens Options and Installation Coverage

The DS-2CE76H0T-ITPFS is available with fixed 2.8mm, 3.6mm and 6mm lens configurations. The lens selection should be made according to the distance between the camera and the area being monitored.

Hikvision specifies the corresponding vertical and diagonal viewing angles for each lens option. The exact lens supplied should therefore be confirmed when ordering because the model family is offered in multiple focal-length configurations.

4-in-1 Video Output and DVR Compatibility

One of the practical strengths of this camera is its switchable analogue video output. It supports TVI, AHD, CVI and CVBS formats, allowing the camera to work with a broad range of compatible DVR systems.

This makes it suitable for phased CCTV upgrades where existing coaxial cabling is being retained. An installer can replace older cameras with higher-resolution units while continuing to use compatible DVR infrastructure.

For a complete surveillance system, the camera can be paired with an appropriate Hikvision Turbo HD recorder. For example, Thencix also carries the Hikvision iDS-7204HUHI-M1/S AcuSense Turbo HD DVR for installations requiring a recorder with higher-resolution analogue camera support and intelligent recording features.

Compatibility should be checked at the DVR level before installation, particularly when combining different camera resolutions, video standards and audio-over-coaxial requirements.

Coaxial Infrastructure and CCTV Upgrade Applications

The DS-2CE76H0T-ITPFS is designed around conventional analogue HD CCTV infrastructure. This is useful for sites where coaxial cabling is already installed and replacing the entire cable network with Ethernet is not practical.

For Indian shops, offices, homes, schools and small commercial properties, a camera upgrade can often be carried out by replacing the camera and verifying the DVR configuration rather than redesigning the entire cabling system.

Installers should use appropriate-quality coaxial cable, correctly terminated BNC connections and a regulated 12V DC supply. Long cable runs should be evaluated for signal loss and voltage drop before final installation.

Turret Form Factor and Camera Adjustment

The turret-style body provides flexible positioning during installation. Hikvision specifies pan adjustment from 0° to 360°, tilt adjustment from 0° to 75° and rotation from 0° to 360°.

This adjustment range allows the installer to fine-tune the viewing direction after the camera has been mounted. Correct positioning is particularly important for entrances and counters where the target area needs to remain inside the selected lens field of view.

The camera has a compact footprint of approximately 84.6mm diameter and 78.9mm height and weighs approximately 140.5g according to the Hikvision datasheet.

Power Requirements and Installation Considerations

The camera operates from 12V DC with a ±25% tolerance according to the manufacturer. Maximum power consumption is specified at approximately 3.7W.

For multi-camera CCTV installations, the power supply should be selected based on the total number of cameras, cable distance and required operating margin. Hikvision recommends using one power adapter to supply each camera in the datasheet.

Using a stable, appropriately rated CCTV power supply helps avoid problems such as camera restart, IR instability and image interference caused by inadequate or poorly regulated power.

Operating Environment

The specified operating temperature range is -40°C to 60°C, with humidity of 90% or less without condensation. The camera body is specified as plastic.

For installations in Delhi NCR, Rajasthan, Haryana and other regions where summer temperatures can become demanding, installers should still avoid mounting the camera where direct heat from exhaust vents, enclosed metal structures or other concentrated heat sources can exceed the manufacturer’s operating conditions.

Likewise, the camera should be installed according to the actual environmental protection specified for this model. The DS-2CE76H0T-ITPFS datasheet does not list an IP67 protection rating, so it should not be marketed as an IP67 outdoor camera unless the exact supplied variant or documentation separately confirms that rating.

Professional Surveillance Applications

Retail Stores and Showrooms

The 5MP resolution and optional audio capture make the camera suitable for monitoring billing counters, entrances, customer areas and internal aisles. A 2.8mm or 3.6mm lens can be selected depending on the required coverage.

Offices and Commercial Premises

Reception areas, corridors, meeting-area approaches and entry points can benefit from higher-resolution video combined with audio where permitted and appropriately deployed.

Residential Properties

The turret form factor can be used for indoor rooms, entrances and selected semi-protected areas. The installer should select the lens according to the required viewing angle and mounting position.

Warehouses and Small Industrial Locations

The camera can be used where existing coaxial CCTV infrastructure is already available and the objective is to upgrade image resolution without immediately replacing the entire surveillance network.

Educational and Institutional Sites

Schools, coaching centres, clinics and other institutions can deploy the camera for monitoring entrances, corridors and common areas when the recorder and installation design support the required video and audio functions.
