The Hikvision DS-2CE50D8T-VPITSE is a professional 2MP Ultra Low Light analogue HD fixed dome camera from the Turbo HD Pro Series. Combining an F1.0 aperture with a minimum illumination of just 0.0005 Lux, it delivers outstanding colour imaging in near-total darkness — without the harsh blue cast of colour night vision cameras. With Power over Coaxial (PoC) support, built-in microphone, 130dB WDR, and a robust IP67 and IK10 rated metal housing, this is a premium upgrade for any analogue CCTV system requiring superior low-light performance.

Its dome form factor makes it ideal for indoor and outdoor ceiling-mount applications including hotel lobbies, retail floors, office receptions, stairwells, car parks, building entrances, and covered outdoor areas where a discreet, vandal-resistant camera is required.

Key Highlights

Power over Coaxial (PoC) Explained

PoC technology allows a compatible Hikvision PoC-enabled DVR to supply 12VDC power to this camera through the same coaxial cable used for video. A single RG59 or RG6 cable handles both video and power — eliminating the need for separate power supplies, reducing installation time, and cutting cable management complexity. This is particularly valuable in retrofit and upgrade projects where coaxial cable is already in place throughout the premises.

IP67 & IK10 Protection

The IP67 rating guarantees full protection against dust ingress and temporary immersion in water — ideal for outdoor eaves mounting and covered car park installations. The IK10 vandal-resistance rating means the camera dome withstands impacts of up to 20 joules, protecting against deliberate tampering or accidental collision in high-footfall areas.
