Hikvision DS-2CE10KF0T-LFS(3.6mm) 3K ColorVu Smart Hybrid Light Mini Bullet Camera

The Hikvision DS-2CE10KF0T-LFS(3.6mm) is a 3K resolution ColorVu Turbo HD mini bullet camera, offering the same full-colour night imaging technology as Hikvision's standard bullet ColorVu range in a more compact housing better suited to discreet or space-constrained installations.

Hikvision DS-2CE10KF0T-LFS Mini Bullet ColorVu Camera

This mini bullet variant uses a 3K CMOS sensor (2960x1665 max resolution) with an F1.0 super-aperture lens, maintaining full-colour imaging down to 0.001 Lux and effectively 0 Lux once the white light illuminator engages — the same core low-light colour performance as Hikvision's larger bullet ColorVu models, just packaged in a smaller housing. The compact form factor makes it a good fit where a large, prominent bullet camera isn't desired, while still delivering genuine ColorVu image quality rather than a scaled-down feature set.

IR supplement light on this mini bullet variant reaches up to 20 metres, a shorter range than the larger standard bullet models in the same family, reflecting the more compact illuminator hardware that fits within the smaller housing. Digital WDR helps handle scenes with both bright and dark areas, and the 3.6mm lens gives a narrower, longer-throw field of view than the 2.8mm alternative, suited to covering more distant points of interest from a smaller camera body.

KEY BENEFITS

• Driveways, yards and open outdoor areas needing colour identification at night
• Budget-conscious installs wanting ColorVu image quality in a compact body
• Perimeter and building exterior monitoring
• Retrofits where housing size is a physical constraint

Frequently Asked Questions

How does this differ from the standard DS-2CE12KF0T-LFS bullet model?

This DS-2CE10KF0T-LFS is a mini bullet variant with a more compact housing, and its IR range is rated up to 20m compared with 40m on the standard-sized bullet model — otherwise both share the same core 3K ColorVu sensor and illumination technology.

Does this camera really capture colour images at night?

Yes. It uses an F1.0 super-aperture lens combined with a 3K sensor and white-light illumination, maintaining full-colour imaging down to extremely low light levels rather than switching to black-and-white like traditional night-vision cameras.

Why choose a mini bullet over a standard bullet camera?

The compact housing suits installations where a large, prominent camera isn't desired, while still delivering genuine ColorVu-grade image quality rather than a reduced feature set.

What does Digital WDR help with?

Digital WDR helps the camera balance very bright and very dark areas within the same scene, such as an entrance facing strong daylight, keeping both areas visible.

Is this camera compatible with my existing analogue DVR?

It outputs via the Turbo HD (HDTVI) standard along with AHD, CVI and CVBS support, giving broad compatibility with most existing analogue DVR systems.

What's the difference between the 2.8mm and 3.6mm lens versions?

The 2.8mm lens gives a wider field of view suited to broad-area coverage, while this 3.6mm lens gives a narrower, longer-throw view suited to covering more distant points of interest.
