Key Features & What They Mean for You
- 5MP high-resolution imaging — captures sharper details so faces, plates, and important objects are easier to identify when reviewing footage.
- 2.7–13.5mm motorized varifocal lens — lets you adjust zoom and viewing angle remotely, so you don’t need ladders or manual refocusing when your monitoring needs change.
- Wide 95° to narrow 26° field of view — gives you the flexibility to cover large areas or tighten the frame for long-distance clarity.
- Up to 40m IR night vision — ensures clear, consistent footage in complete darkness, reducing blind spots during late-night activity.
- Multi-format video output (TVI/AHD/CVI/CVBS) — works with nearly any HD-over-coax DVR so you can upgrade your camera without replacing your entire system.
- IP67 weatherproof metal housing — reliable in harsh outdoor environments, giving you long-term durability in rain, dust, and extreme temperatures.
- Digital WDR, BLC, HLC, Smart IR, and image controls — stabilizes footage in difficult lighting, helping prevent glare, dark shadows, and overexposed highlights.
- 0.01 Lux low-light sensitivity — maintains usable image quality even before IR activates, improving visibility in twilight or dim indoor areas.
- Flexible angle adjustment (pan/tilt/rotation) — makes installation easier and ensures you can point the camera exactly where coverage is needed.
- Low power consumption (max 6.2W) — runs efficiently and reliably on standard 12VDC power, reducing strain on system power supplies.
What This Helps You Avoid
Many people struggle with older cameras that blur out important details, especially at night or when trying to zoom in on something far away. That leads to frustration—the moment you actually need a clear image, the footage isn’t helpful. This camera helps you avoid those headaches by delivering crisp, zoom-adjustable coverage and dependable night vision. It reduces the risk of “what happened?” moments and brings peace of mind that your system will capture what matters when it matters most.

Technical Specifications
Hikvision DS-2CE79H0T-IT3ZF(C) 5 MP Motorized Varifocal Turret Camera
The Hikvision DS-2CE79H0T-IT3ZF(C) is a 5 MP motorized varifocal turret camera designed for customers who want sharp detail over long distances without replacing their existing coax cabling. Its 2.7 mm to 13.5 mm motorized lens lets you quickly zoom from wide area coverage to close-up identification, while up to 40 m IR keeps scenes clear at night. With multi-format support (TVI/AHD/CVI/CVBS) and IP67 weather resistance, it’s built to drop straight into most analog HD systems and run reliably indoors or outdoors.
Key Features – What This Camera Does For You
- 5 MP, 2560 × 1944 resolution — captures fine detail so you can clearly see faces, plates, and important events instead of guessing what happened.
- 2.7–13.5 mm motorized varifocal lens — adjust your viewing angle from wide area coverage to tight zoom from the recorder or app, without climbing a ladder.
- Up to 40 m IR for night imaging — keeps alleys, yards, and car parks visible after dark, reducing blind spots when incidents are most likely.
- 4-in-1 video output (TVI/AHD/CVI/CVBS) — connects to almost any HD-over-coax DVR, ideal for upgrades where you don’t want to rip and replace cabling.
- IP67 metal housing — built to handle rain, dust, and temperature extremes, so it keeps working on exposed exterior walls and poles.

Frequently Asked Questions
The camera captures at **5 MP (2560 × 1944)**, which is the highest resolution listed for this model. This higher pixel density helps bring out fine details such as faces, vehicle identifiers, and small objects. The datasheet also confirms support for multiple frame rates depending on the selected output format. Clearer resolution ultimately improves identification and evidence quality.
The datasheet lists an **IR range of up to 40 meters**. This means the camera can continue producing usable black-and-white images even in complete darkness. With an IR-cut filter and Smart IR capabilities, the camera adjusts brightness to avoid overexposure on nearby objects. This keeps nighttime recordings consistent and clear.
The camera includes a **motorized 2.7–13.5 mm varifocal lens**, as stated in the datasheet. This allows remote adjustment of the viewing angle without manual refocusing at the device. The field of view ranges from 95° wide to a narrow 26° for distant targets. This flexibility helps cover both large open spaces and long-distance focal points.
According to the datasheet, the DS-2CE79H0T-IT3ZF(C) supports **four switchable signals: TVI, AHD, CVI, and CVBS**. This makes it compatible with the vast majority of HD-over-coax recorders. Switching formats ensures maximum flexibility for system upgrades without needing new cabling. It is ideal for environments transitioning from analog to HD systems.
Yes—its datasheet confirms an **IP67 protection level**. This means it can withstand dust, rain, and harsh outdoor conditions. It is also built with a **metal housing**, which increases durability. This makes the camera suitable for exterior walls, poles, and exposed installations.
The datasheet lists an operating range of **−40°C to 60°C (−40°F to 140°F)**. This is wide enough for extreme weather regions, from cold winters to high-heat environments. With humidity tolerance up to 90% (non-condensing), the camera remains stable in tough climates. This ensures continuous operation throughout seasonal changes.
The datasheet specifies **Digital WDR** rather than true hardware WDR. Digital WDR helps manage scenes with both bright and dark areas by adjusting image processing. While not as strong as optical WDR, it still improves visibility in challenging lighting. This is helpful for entryways or areas where backlighting is common.
The camera operates on **12 VDC ±15%**, according to the datasheet. It also notes that users should supply one power adapter per camera to ensure stable power delivery. Maximum consumption is **6.2 W**, which is typical for a motorized varifocal turret with IR. This makes it easy to integrate into most low-voltage CCTV power setups.
The datasheet lists several adjustable image functions including **Brightness, Smart IR, Sharpness, AGC, White Balance, and exposure modes (DWDR, BLC, HLC)**. These controls allow fine-tuning for varied lighting conditions. Smart IR helps prevent washed-out images when subjects move close to the camera. Overall, these tools ensure consistent image quality across different environments.
The datasheet includes a list of compatible optional accessories such as the **ABM inclined mount, WML+PC130T wall mount, CBM junction box, CM corner mount, and PM vertical pole mount**. These options allow the camera to be installed on a wide variety of surfaces and angles. This is especially helpful when optimizing coverage for unique building layouts. Accessories extend the camera’s usability across indoor and outdoor setups.
