This 3.6mm lens variant offers a narrower, longer-throw field of view than the 2.8mm version, suited to covering more distant points of interest with the same PoC (Power over Coax) single-cable installation benefit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHikvision DS-2CE12KF3T-LE ColorVu Bullet Camera (3.6mm)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStandard night-vision cameras switch to black-and-white once light drops, which strips out colour detail that can be critical for identifying clothing, vehicle colour, or other visual cues. The DS-2CE12KF3T-LE avoids this by combining a 3K CMOS sensor (2960x1665 max resolution) with an F1.0 super-aperture lens and Hikvision's Smart Supplement Light system, which automatically balances IR and white-light output up to 40 metres to keep the image in full colour even in near-total darkness, rated down to 0.0005 Lux and effectively 0 Lux once the white light engages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBeing a PoC-compatible model gives this camera a real installation advantage over standard IP or even standard TVI cameras: a single coaxial cable carries both power and video signal back to a compatible PoC-enabled DVR, removing the need for a separate local power supply at the camera end. The 3.6mm lens gives a tighter 80° horizontal field of view than the 2.8mm variant, trading some coverage width for a longer effective viewing distance — better suited to narrower approaches, gateways or entry points where identifying detail at range matters more than maximum area coverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKEY BENEFITS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull-colour imaging 24\/7, even in near-total darkness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoC support simplifies cabling — power and video on one coax run\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF1.0 super-aperture lens maximises available light gathering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmart dual-light system balances IR and white light automatically\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNarrower 80° field of view suited to longer-distance viewing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3K CMOS sensor, max resolution 2960x1665\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.6mm fixed lens, FOV 80°(H) \/ 49°(V) \/ 105°(D)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMin. illumination 0.0005 Lux colour (F1.0, AGC ON), 0 Lux with white light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmart\/IR\/White supplement light, up to 40m range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoC (Power over Coax) support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrame rate: 3K@20fps, 4MP@25\/30fps, 1080p@25\/30fps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBullet form factor, M12 lens mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIDEAL FOR\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGateways, entry points and narrower approaches needing longer viewing distance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalogue system upgrades where PoC simplifies re-cabling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSites needing accurate colour capture of clothing or vehicles after dark at range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBudget-conscious installs wanting ColorVu image quality without an IP upgrade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerimeter and building exterior monitoring with a tighter field of view\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRetrofits onto existing coax runs with a compatible PoC DVR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplications where identification detail matters more than area coverage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHikvision\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDS-2CE12KF3T-LE(3.6mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColorVu Bullet Camera\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSensor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3K CMOS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax Resolution\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2960 x 1665\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLens\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.6mm fixed, M12 mount\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eField of View\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80°(H) \/ 49°(V) \/ 105°(D)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin.
