It shares the same F1.0 super-aperture, Smart Hybrid Light illumination and PoC single-cable installation benefit as the standard LE model, with audio capability added on top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHikvision DS-2CE12KF3T-LSYE ColorVu Bullet Camera with Microphone\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-LSYE avoids this by combining a 3K CMOS sensor (2960x1665 max resolution) with an F1.0 super-aperture lens and Smart Hybrid Light system, balancing IR and white-light output up to 40 metres to maintain colour imaging down to 0.0005 Lux, effectively reaching 0 Lux once the white light engages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe built-in microphone, with a pickup radius of up to 5 metres, adds an audio dimension that the standard LE model lacks — useful for capturing conversations, verbal confrontations, or general ambient sound alongside the video record, which can add valuable context in incident review. Being PoC-compatible, a single coaxial cable still carries both power and video back to a compatible PoC-enabled DVR, keeping installation simple despite the added microphone hardware. The 2.8mm lens gives a wide 112° horizontal field of view, suitable for broad-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\u003eBuilt-in microphone adds audio context to recorded footage\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\u003eWide 112° field of view from the 2.8mm lens covers broad areas\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\u003e2.8mm fixed lens, FOV 112°(H) \/ 60°(V) \/ 140°(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\u003eBuilt-in microphone, pickup radius up to 5m\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\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\u003eSites where audio context alongside video adds evidential value\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDriveways, yards and open outdoor areas needing colour identification at night\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReception areas or points of contact where verbal exchanges matter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalogue system upgrades where PoC simplifies re-cabling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBudget-conscious installs wanting ColorVu image quality plus audio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerimeter and building exterior monitoring with sound capture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide-area coverage from a single fixed mounting point\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-LSYE(2.8mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColorVu Bullet Camera with Microphone\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\u003e2.8mm fixed, M12 mount\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eField of View\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e112°(H) \/ 60°(V) \/ 140°(D)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin.
