The built-in microphone (denoted by the \"S\" in the model suffix) captures ambient audio alongside the video feed, useful for reviewing incidents where sound context — voices, breaking glass, vehicle noise — adds useful evidence value alongside the picture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eICR automatic day\/night switching handles the transition between colour daytime footage and IR-assisted monochrome footage at night, with the switchable STD\/HIGH-SAT image parameter modes giving installers some control over colour saturation and contrast to suit different lighting environments. The 2.8mm lens delivers a wide field of view suited to broad-area coverage, and the bullet-style housing gives a visible camera presence often preferred as a visual deterrent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKEY BENEFITS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5MP resolution captures significantly more detail than standard 2MP cameras\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in microphone adds audio context to recorded footage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVisible bullet housing works as a visual deterrent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable image parameters (STD\/HIGH-SAT modes)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide field of view suits broad-area coverage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5MP CMOS sensor, max resolution 2560x1944\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2.8mm fixed lens, FOV 85.5°(H) \/ 63.7°(V) \/ 110.7°(D)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMin. illumination 0.01 Lux colour (F2.0, AGC ON), 0 Lux with IR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in microphone for audio capture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eICR automatic day\/night switching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImage Parameters Switch: STD\/HIGH-SAT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePAL\/NTSC signal system support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-in-1 video output: TVI\/AHD\/CVI\/CVBS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIDEAL FOR\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSites where audio context adds evidential value to footage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEntrances, driveways and yards needing a visible camera presence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFacial or number-plate identification requiring higher resolution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstallations needing image parameter flexibility for varied lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalogue DVR upgrades needing broad format compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCost-conscious multi-camera installs wanting audio without ColorVu pricing\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-2CE78H0T-IT3FS(2.8mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAudio Bullet Camera\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSensor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5MP CMOS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax Resolution\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2560 x 1944\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\u003e85.5°(H) \/ 63.7°(V) \/ 110.7°(D)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin.
